With Double or Nothing just around the corner on May 24, this show is loaded with title action, high-stakes tag team warfare, and key build toward the PPV.

AEW Dynamite May 13, 2026 Lineup
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin (c) vs. Konosuke Takeshita (w/ Don Callis)
Darby Allin puts his newly-won AEW World Title on the line against “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita. Originally advertised as a clash with Kazuchika Okada, Takeshita stepped up after Okada’s travel issues. These two delivered a banger in 2024, and this rematch should be no different—expect stiff strikes, big offense, and Darby’s signature risk-taking.
Will Ospreay vs. Ace Austin
The Aerial Assassin returns to action after a neck injury. Ospreay vs. the flashy, athletic Ace Austin should be a show-stealer full of flips, kicks, and near-falls.
The Young Bucks, Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland (Cope) & Christian Cage vs. FTR, Tommaso Ciampa & The Dogs (Clark Connors & David Finlay)
Tag division chaos at its finest. With multiple rivalries colliding—tag titles, trios gold, and plenty of personal beef—this one is guaranteed to break down into a wild brawl.
Additional Segments
MJF appearance — Maxwell Jacob Friedman is in the building. Expect promos, mind games, and teases for his future (likely tied to Allin).
Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Brackets — Both the men’s and women’s brackets for the prestigious 2026 tournament will be revealed live on the show.
