Get ready for a wrestling extravaganza like no other! AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage just delivered an unforgettable night of action from Phoenix, Arizona, and we’re here to break it all down. But here's where it gets controversial—MJF’s reign as AEW World Champion continues, but not without sparking heated debates among fans. And this is the part most people miss—the undercard matches showcased the incredible depth of AEW’s roster, proving why it’s one of the most exciting promotions today.
The night kicked off with Darby Allin finally securing a hard-fought victory over PAC in a rematch from AEW Full Gear. This win wasn’t just about settling scores; it solidified Allin’s claim to having conquered all the Death Riders, setting his sights firmly on the AEW World Championship. But here’s the twist—PAC’s loss has fans divided. Was it the right move to elevate Allin, or did it diminish PAC’s legacy? Let the debate begin!
In the main event, MJF retained his AEW World Title against Bandido in a match that had everyone on the edge of their seats. MJF’s post-match antics, however, stole the spotlight. After complimenting Bandido, he attacked him with the title belt, only for Brody King to make the save. This moment raises questions: Is MJF’s heel persona becoming too predictable, or is it exactly what the fans love to hate? Share your thoughts in the comments!
Meanwhile, the Don Callis Family’s Mark Davis and Jake Doyle emerged victorious in a chaotic 4-Way Tag Match, earning a future shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championship held by FTR. This match was a testament to AEW’s stacked tag division, but it also left fans wondering—are Davis and Doyle the next big thing, or will FTR continue their dominance? The controversy deepens as Ricochet’s interference added fuel to the fire, leaving fans questioning his motives.
In another shocking turn of events, Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Julia Hart, and Skye Blue) defeated AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander and The Babes of Wrath. Thekla’s pin on Statlander has fans buzzing—is this the beginning of a new era in the women’s division, or just a temporary setback for Statlander? And let’s not forget “Hangman” Adam Page, Swerve Strickland, and Kenny Omega, all of whom made it clear they’re gunning for MJF’s title. Omega’s upcoming match against Josh Alexander on Dynamite has fans hyped, but the real question is—who will emerge as MJF’s ultimate challenger?
From Samoa Joe’s bounty on Hangman to Brody King’s dominant victory over Jonathan Cruz, every segment was packed with action and intrigue. But the night wasn’t without its controversies. Tony Khan’s decision to book certain matches has fans divided—are these the right moves to keep AEW at the top, or are there better storylines waiting to be explored?
As we look ahead to Collision Maximum Carnage this Saturday, one thing is clear—AEW is pulling out all the stops.
