AEW Dynamite delivered a major step forward toward Dynasty with a heated contract signing between MJF and Kenny Omega, while Chris Jericho made his return to AEW for the first time in a year in his hometown of Winnipeg, drawing a reaction that did not match expectations.

MJF and Kenny Omega officially signed the contract for their AEW World Championship match, but the segment quickly turned personal. Omega shut down MJF immediately, making it clear he’s not here for talk, he’s coming for the title and to prove he’s still the best wrestler in the world.

MJF fired back with a brutal promo, targeting Omega’s health and claiming his body is a “ticking time bomb,” escalating the rivalry to a new level ahead of Dynasty. The tension nearly turned physical before “Speedball” Mike Bailey stepped in, calling out MJF and setting up a main event match for later in the night.

Chris Jericho’s return added another layer to Dynamite, though questions remain about his role moving forward, his contract status, and what direction AEW plans to take following his first appearance back in over a year.
