·1 hr 4 min·5 clips

Warren Hayes analyzes how AEW Dynamite's theme of credibility shapes the world title picture and Hangman Adam Page's absence.

Warren Hayes opens by noting the March 25, 2026 Dynamite from the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, Minnesota, with 3,512 tickets distributed, a slight increase from the previous year. He introduces the episode's theme of 'credibility', examining how wrestlers establish or question their legitimacy. Hayes discusses Kenny Omega's clean win over Swerve Strickland to become number one contender for MJF's world title at Dynasty, calling it a statement victory. He analyzes the Death Riders' trios win over Top Flight, criticizing Top Flight's six-year stagnation and lack of credibility. Hayes reviews Jon Moxley's ambiguous character alignment ahead of his Dynasty match with Will Ospreay. He covers FTR's promo attacking Copeland Christian as a 'nostalgia act' to undermine their credibility. Hayes praises The Dogs' clean win over Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong as a credibility boost. He critiques the women's tag division for stagnating with repetitive feuds like Megan Bain and Lena Cross vs. The Babes of Wrath. Hayes discusses backstage segments with Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita, noting ongoing faction tensions. He reviews Toni Storm's women's world title retention over Mina Shirakawa via brass knuckles, analyzing heel credibility. Hayes highlights Ricochet's promo arguing he unfairly lost his title and should be in the world title conversation. He concludes with Darby Allin's brutal match against Roosh, where Darby wins but gets attacked post-match by the Don Callis family, with Andrade questioning Don Callis's authority. Hayes overall finds the show a step up from the previous week, building effectively toward Dynasty.
