Let\u2019s get on with the thoughts!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ospreay returned to the ring again &#8211; this time with no tape on his neck and a nifty new submission move set to deploy. Ospreay\u2019s match against Ace Austin was there to prove that Ospreay is fully back and ready to handle the grind of the Owen Hart Tournament and the road to Wembley Stadium. Ace Austin\u2019s performance was good, however I do question the length of this match. Ospreay has always been a generous opponent, but if there was ever a time to give him a quick win, this should have been it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley relationship, along with Ospreay\u2019s overall relationship with The Death Riders, is one of the most complex stories in AEW right now. It\u2019s really enjoyable to watch, and I could easily see it stretching beyond All In and into the second half of the year. It could give Ospreay some extra motivation and stories to tell once he has (I assume) won the AEW Men\u2019s World Championship. Nothing in this story has been simple, but the relationships are nicely defined and interesting to watch. I now find myself wondering when the other portion of Ospreay\u2019s relationship-building drops involving Kenny Omega.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The German Superplex (or avalanche bridging German Suplex?) in Darby Allin vs. Konosuke Takeshita caused me to jump out of the chair I was watching this show in. I was stunned and ended up rewinding about four times to watch this move again. You know what? I think I\u2019ll watch it again all day today<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; There is an amazing electricity to the end of Darby Allin\u2019s AEW Men\u2019s World Championship matches. They feel like desperate gasps at the title, getting closer and closer to losing it, then finally grabbing onto it again. This \u201c\u2019til the wheels fall off\u201d reign has been one of the most dynamic and exciting title reigns I have ever seen &#8211; not just because of the frequency and quality of the matches, but because of Darby\u2019s unique intensity in the ring. Takeshita vs. Darby Allin was another Dynamite classic, and Allin\u2019s title reign has become something completely unique in wrestling history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; MJF\u2019s evening of bald man confrontations and contract signing was delightful. There are more bald humans on the roster than on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennesseetitans.com\/team\/coaches-roster\/\">Tennessee Titans coaching staff<\/a>, which is rather impressive. MJF sinking deeper into desperation without the AEW Championship is really fun to watch as he debates whether or not that title is worth risking his hair. As an aside, I find it hilarious that MJF\u2019s hair being the result of a procedure is openly discussed in AEW. John Cena could never.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; AEW revealed the Owen Hart Tournament brackets on this show, and I found a couple of things surprising in them. The men\u2019s bracket feels like a forgone conclusion based more on the result of Bandido vs. Swerve Strickland than anything else. Should Swerve win, we are in for a Swerve vs. Ospreay final. If Bandido wins, I would expect a Claudio Castagnoli vs. Ospreay final (Death Riders story again!). On the women\u2019s side, I am surprised by the lack of Mercedes Mon\u00e9. I expected All In to culminate in her finally winning the AEW Women\u2019s World Championship, and now we know that will not be her path.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; With a little bit of extra time before All In (and plenty of time to hold this tournament), I would have appreciated it if AEW had expanded each bracket to sixteen instead of eight. Yes, that makes sixteen more matches to cram in mostly on Collision and Dynamite, but AEW would have been able to keep people guessing a little bit more about the results of the Owen Hart Tournament.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Disqualification finishes in AEW always bum me out, and they seem to happen more frequently when Thekla, Skye Blue, and Julia Hart are involved in matches. I know the effort is being made to make them evil, dastardly baddies who don\u2019t follow the rules, but after decades of disqualifications as cheap cop-outs, it is hard not to view this one as a cheap cop-out. This is particularly true when the one women\u2019s match on the show has this kind of finish &#8211; and that match is in the middle of a Thekla championship reign in need of improvement.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-4134917461\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8211; Kevin Knight vs. Brian Cage for the TNT Championship was a fun in-ring experience. Cage is a nice addition to the Don Callis Family B-Team and looked really good (if frighteningly muscular) in his first match back. Kevin Knight continues to pop up in interesting places &#8211; being a part of Speedball Bailey\u2019s challenge after this match and rescuing Darby Allin from MJF at the end of this show. Knight getting more involved in main event stories is further evidence that his rise in 2026 has not concluded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Speaking of Speedball Bailey, if he is the last AEW Men\u2019s World Championship defense for Darby Allin before the wheels fall off at Double or Nothing, we will need to talk about this reign as AEW\u2019s best &#8211; and talk about each opponent in it as a major reason why it overachieved.<\/p>\n<p>There it is! Sure, more things happened on this show, but 10 Thoughts is the legal limit for this weekly blog on Dynamite. I literally cannot have more thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><i>Will Pruett writes about wrestling and popular culture at prowrestling.net.
