On August 19, 2026, All Elite Wrestling aired the 359th episode of Dynamite live from the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. According to False Finish HQ, the card featured high-stakes trios action and escalating rivalries on the road to All In: London.
United Empire Dominates Trios Action in Baltimore
The Baltimore crowd witnessed a chaotic opening match as the United Empire faction squared off against members of The Don Callis Family, featuring Rocky Romero, Lance Archer, and Brian Cage. Per live event reports from NewsBreak, the fast-paced encounter showcased early aerial sequences when Will Ospreay attempted a hurricanrana on Brian Cage, forcing quick tags across the ring. Henare and Lance Archer traded heavy strikes, with Archer absorbing shoulder tackles before locking in corner chops. Francesco Akira entered the mix, dropping Archer with a double kick under the jaw ahead of a commercial break.
As the action resumed, Ospreay cleared the canvas with a corkscrew kick directed at Cage and an enziguri to Romero. Despite a brief interruption when Archer broke up a pinfall attempt, the United Empire squad regained control. Following chaos on the outside where Ospreay nailed a moonsault off the ring apron, Ospreay caught Romero inside the ropes with a decisive Hidden Blade to secure the pinfall victory.
Physical Retaliation Involve Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita
The landscape of the International Championship shifted significantly when commentator Tony Schiavone hosted reigning champion Kyle Fletcher in the center of the ring. According to official broadcast transcripts, Fletcher addressed remarks made by Kazuchika Okada regarding their upcoming Triple Threat Match at All In, which also includes Konosuke Takeshita. Fletcher defended his title run as the greatest of all time while acknowledging his debt to Don Callis.
That momentum halted abruptly when Konosuke Takeshita made his return, marching down to the ring to confront Fletcher. Following a brief exchange of strikes, Takeshita countered Fletcher’s half-nelson suplex with a Blue Thunder Bomb, a poisonrana, and a devastating knee strike. Takeshita finished the sequence with a Raging Fire, standing tall over the champion while hoisting the International Championship high above his head.
