AEW Dynamite “Grand Slam Mexico) (Episode 357)
Mexico City, Mexico, at Arena Mexico
Simulcast live August 5, 2026, on TBS and HBO Max
[Hour One] The Dynamite opening aired. Excalibur, Nigel McGuinness, and Tony Schiavone checked in from their desk at ringside…
Ring announcer Justin Roberts delivered the introductions for the opening match. Adam Copeland came out wearing a lucha mask that he quickly removed. The fans sang Copeland’s theme loudly after it stopped playing. The other babyfaces made standard entrances. The Death Riders team entered through the crowd…
1. Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson vs. Jon Moxley, Pac, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia (w/Marina Shafir). Christian had his left forearm wrapped. Nick dove from the ring onto a couple of opponents at ringside. Christian went up top and dove onto several wrestlers on the floor before the first picture-in-picture commercial break. [C]
Copeland and Nick teamed up for a double 619 on Moxley. Christian performed a top rope headbutt on Moxley, and then Matt dropped an elbow on him. All four babyfaces superkicked Moxley, but the pin attempt that followed was broken up.
A short time later, Copeland was setting up to spear Moxley, but Shafir stopped him. Christian pulled her to the floor. Shafir slapped Christian, who kicked her, um, below the belt. A short time later, Copeland speared Moxley and got a visual pinfall while Yuta distracted the referee.
Copeland gave up the pin. Pac ran Copeland into the ropes and tried to clothesline him, but Copeland ducked it and then bumped into Matt on the apron. Moxley rolled up Copeland and pinned him while holding the tights…
Jon Moxley, Pac, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia beat Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson in 11:20.
Afterward, Copeland and Matt shook hands, but Copeland exited the ring without shaking hands with the Jacksons…
Powell’s POV: A solid eight-man tag match. The live crowd doesn’t get to see these guys regularly, so they loved it and were hot from bell to bell. By the way, I’m filling in for Jake Barnett tonight. I believe he’s shopping for a watch at Walmart, but I could be mistaken. Either way, Jake will be reviewing WWE Smackdown on Friday night.
Tommaso Ciampa made his entrance. Renee Paquette spoke briefly while on the stage. The entrances of Komander and Andrade El Idolo followed. Andrade had a couple of women with him. The Spanish Broadcast team checked in briefly…
2. Andrade El Idolo vs. Komander vs. Tommaso Ciampa in a Triple Threat for the first entry in the Casino Gauntlet match at All In London.
