AEW Dynamite on October 14, 2026, will feature five Clockwork Carnage qualifying matches, two championship defenses and several major tag team bouts as All Elite Wrestling makes its final television stop before WrestleDream.

Wednesday’s special live broadcast from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio, combines Dynamite with a one-hour edition of Collision. The three-hour block begins at 8 p.m. ET on TBS and HBO Max, just three days before WrestleDream on Saturday, October 17.

Clockwork Carnage qualifiers headline the AEW Dynamite match card

Five qualifying matches will fill the remaining spots in the eight-person Clockwork Carnage match for the AEW World Championship at WrestleDream. AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, Samoa Joe and “Speedball” Mike Bailey already hold places in the match, with Wednesday’s winners joining them.

Two of the qualifying bouts are also championship matches, raising the stakes for the participants:

• AEW TNT Championship and Clockwork Carnage qualifier: Darby Allin (c) vs. Hechicero
• AEW International Championship and Clockwork Carnage qualifier: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Myron Reed
• Clockwork Carnage qualifier: Adam Copeland vs. Josh Alexander
• Clockwork Carnage qualifier: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Brian Cage
• Clockwork Carnage qualifier: Ricochet vs. Ace Austin

Allin enters his defense after retaining the TNT Championship against Kyle Fletcher at Grand Slam: France. Okada, meanwhile, looks to maintain his hold on the International Championship after challenging Ospreay for the world title in Paris. For both champions, a loss Wednesday would cost them their title as well as their opportunity to compete for the world championship at WrestleDream.

Will Ospreay and Andrade team against Samoa Joe and Tommaso Ciampa

Another major match brings together AEW World Champion Will Ospreay and AEW National Champion Andrade El Idolo against Samoa Joe and Tommaso Ciampa.

The bout follows Ciampa’s attack on Andrade and adds another layer to the build toward WrestleDream. Ospreay and Joe are already scheduled for the Clockwork Carnage title match, while Andrade and Ciampa are set to meet for the National Championship on Saturday. Their tag team encounter puts two WrestleDream rivalries in the same ring before the pay-per-view.

Mercedes Moné joins Divine Dominion in women’s trios match

AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné will team with Megan Bayne and Lena Kross of Divine Dominion to face Thekla, Julia Hart and Skye Blue of Triangle of Madness.

The match comes after Thekla attacked Moné following her title defense against Queen Aminata in Paris. Moné is scheduled to defend the Women’s World Championship against Thekla at WrestleDream, giving Wednesday’s six-woman contest added significance.

Death Riders, Don Callis Family and women’s tag team action

Jon Moxley, Gabe Kidd and Daniel Garcia will represent the Death Riders in a trios match against Don Callis Family members Wardlow, Mark Davis and Jake Doyle. With Moxley and Davis also set to meet for the AEW Continental Championship at WrestleDream, the match provides another preview of Saturday’s stakes.

Also announced, Britt Baker and Persephone will team against Dani Luna and Hyan in women’s tag team action.
