“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs returned to “AEW Dynamite” following an injury that left him on the shelf since April after tearing a tendon during an IWGP Heavyweight Championship match against Jon Moxley. Hobbs returned to be Ricochet’s mystery partner in the main event against The Don Callis Family’s Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita. During his entrance, Ricochet got on the microphone to tell Takeshita and Fletcher, who had told him during “AEW Collision” on Saturday that he could pick any partner he wanted, that he “did some digging” and found that Hobbs’ contract with the Family expired, and he felt forgotten about. Ricochet said Hobbs was pissed off, and Hobbs’ music hit. The pair headed down the ramp, and immediately took the fight to Fletcher and Takeshita as the bell rang.
Ricochet pinned the International Champion, Takeshita, and Fletcher attempted to take out Hobbs and Ricochet after the match. Mark Davis ran down to take on Fletcher, but was met by Lance Archer and Brian Cage. Adam Cole, Takeshita’s opponent for next week’s “Dynamite,” interfered as well, fighting the champion up the ramp to the back. Will Ospreay also made an entrance and ran off the rest of the Don Callis Family, with Ospreay, Davis, and Ricochet standing tall alongside the former champion in the ring to end the broadcast.

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite will air live on TBS from the SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The Hurt Syndicate may be near completion, as Bobby Lashley made his AEW debut following the main event of “AEW Dynamite” Wednesday night, after reports of his signing emerged back when Shelton Benjamin officially became “All Elite.” The main event saw former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland take on Benjamin, with MVP at ringside, who relentlessly taunted Prince Nana throughout the bout. The match was made following Strickland’s decision to stay with his manager rather than join MVP’s new stable.
The match was Strickland’s first following his brutal loss against “Hangman” Adam Page in an unsanctioned steel cage match at All Out. Strickland started off the match hot, but Benjamin quickly took control for a good portion of the bout. When Strickland was able to battle back, he hit the House Call and went to the top rope, but hit a 450 Splash instead of a Swerve Stomp. Benjamin kicked out and quickly got Strickland into a waist lock. Strickland hit a desperation cutter and took them both out. Strickland got back to the top, but Benjamin followed, and Strickland countered with a Liger Bomb. He followed up with the Swerve Stomp to get the victory.
The camera then panned to MVP at ringside, who made a call while staring down Strickland in the ring. The lights went out quickly, then Lashley’s music hit. He got in the ring and got face-to-face with Strickland, and Benjamin distracted Strickland, taking him out and both men beat up the former champion. MVP choked out Nana with his cane, and Lashley got Strickland in a full nelson hold and made him pass out. Referees and security came running down to the ring, and MVP got on the microphone to ask the fans to guess “who’s back in business” as the show ended.

Tonight is AEW Fright Night Dynamite, live on TBS from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
Chris Jericho captured the Ring of Honor World Championship for the second time during Wednesday night’s “AEW Dynamite,” defeating Mark Briscoe in a ladder match with some help from The Learning Tree. Discussing the match on “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Dave Meltzer offered a possible explanation for Jericho’s title victory.
“I think that if they are working on an ROH television deal, then it probably is beneficial for them to be champion, to try and close that deal,” Meltzer said.
The writer then confirmed that Tony Khan is in the process of trying to secure a TV deal for the brand. AEW recently re-upped with Warner Bros Discovery, ensuring “Dynamite” and “AEW Collision” remain on TNT/TBS as well as heading to streaming platform Max. However, ROH was not included in that agreement.
Meltzer praised the Jericho-Briscoe match from last night, marveling at Briscoe’s mobility after a career full of death-defying stunts. Both Meltzer and co-host Bryan Alvarez stated that it was possible that Khan would run another rematch between Jericho and Briscoe and ROH Final Battle later this year, which would allow Briscoe to compete in the Continental Classic and take some losses before winning the title back from Jericho.
This is Jericho’s second time as champion, with his last reign also coinciding with rumors that Khan was seeking a media rights deal for ROH. However, no outside agreement materialized, and ROH has since been relegated to its own online streaming platform and appearances on AEW programming.
Following the win against Briscoe, Jericho’s next challenger stepped forward — Tomohiro Ishii of New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Jericho successfully defended the ROH World Championship against Ishii during his initial reign in November 2022. Though Ishii has previously held the ROH Television Championship, he has not yet held the brand’s world title.
