MJF will appear on AEW Dynamite this week.
The road to Revolution 2026 sharpens into focus as AEW Dynamite returns to U.S. soil on Wednesday, February 18. Broadcasting live from Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California, this week’s episode feels less like a bridge show and more like a seismic checkpoint following the fallout from Grand Slam: Australia.
AEW wasted no time stacking the deck. Headlining the card is a first-time singles showdown between Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland, a bout that carries major implications for the company’s main-event hierarchy.
Strickland has already carved through much of The Elite, and now turns his attention to Omega, the last pillar standing. With barbed words exchanged and tensions escalating in recent weeks, this contest feels like the opening chapter of something far bigger, not a one-night attraction.
The fallout from Grand Slam continues to ripple through every division. New AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla dethroned Kris Statlander in a brutal strap match, and the championship picture is suddenly volatile heading into Revolution.
Meanwhile, TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher retained and unveiled a custom pink title strap, raising questions about whether Tommaso Ciampa will seek redemption. Elsewhere, the Don Callis Family remains entangled in unfinished business, with Andrade El Idolo, Jon Moxley, and Konosuke Takeshita all circling key positions.
Beyond the in-ring action, legacy rivals MJF and Hangman Adam Page are set to meet face-to-face. Add in the television debut of The Brawling Birds and the looming presence of new Australian signings in the women’s division, and Sacramento is poised for a pivotal night.
