AEW Beach Break Dynamite July 8, 2026 results.
Tommaso Ciampa Vs. Chris Jericho – AEW Beach Break
“Psycho Killer” Tommaso Ciampa tried to blindside Chris Jericho during his entrance, but Jericho was one step ahead. They’d begin brawling in the sand, including a suplex on a lawn chair, before actually moving to the ring.
The match itself was at a snail’s pace, with most of the time spent selling a power move. Jericho eventually bladed after a genuinely dangerous spot, taking a slam onto the steel stairs.
Jericho went on to take some actual bumps, helping the match to improve. They’d work into some believable false finishes, but Ciampa pulled out the victory with the help of sand to the eyes. He’d knock out his opponent with a steel chair post-match, and it took security to stop him from using a power drill.
Kyle Fletcher Vs. Konosuke Takeshita – AEW International Championship Match
The next match featured “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher challenging AEW International Champion “The Alpa” Konosuke Takeshita for that title. This match ramped up the speed and physicality from the jump. It was also impressive how they didn’t lose any of that in their smooth reversals back-and-forth. The banger ended with Fletcher becoming the new champ.
Ospreay & Moxley Vs. The Workhorsemen – AEW Beach Break
2026 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament winner Will Ospreay teamed with AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley to take on The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry). Both teams brought great striking and gritty style. The outcome was obvious when the match was announced, but The Workhorsemen got their moments to shine in this one. Ospreay and Moxley hit their finishers to pin Drake.
No. 1 Contender Women’s Casino Gauntless Match
Next up, a Women’s Casino Gauntless Match to earn a title shot at the upcoming Revolution event. ROH Women’s World Champion Athena and Maya World started it off. For those unfamiliar with the format, think Royal Rumble, but it’s first pin or submission to a finish, so you’d want to enter early.
Skye Blue was the first to come from the back, with a kendo stick at that. Blue took the first real bump of the match, with a stiff body slam onto the steel steps. AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla was a comedic edge on commentary.
Mina Shirakawa, Stardom’s Rina, and Julia Hart were the next entrants. Hart and Blue had an extended period of control before Thunder Rosa entered the match.
Willow Nightingale made a surprise return from injury as the next participant. Nightingale wrapped things up quickly, picking up the pin over Hart after hitting a powerbomb. She’ll face Thekla for the title at Redemption.
MJF Vs. Kenny Omega – AEW World Championship Match
The main event couldn’t have had larger stakes. MJF put his AEW World Championship on the line against Kenny Omega, but if Omega lost, he could never challenge for that title again. It was largely a brawl through the crowd for an extended time. It’s unclear why the ref allowed it, and it didn’t lead to false finishes. It was, however, a quick pace with stiff strikes.
The first false finish was a good one, with Omega kicking out of a Tombstone. MJF set up the announcer’s desk for something, but was ultimately put through it himself.
The brawl went on to some brutal spots, including Omega taking another Tombstone, this time on a set-up steel chair. The audience thought it was over when MJF hit his Heat Seeker piledriver, but were met with a late kickout.
Ospreay grabbed brass knuckles from MJF, and went to his knees begging his opponent not to use the title as a weapon. He dropped the title, only for the champ to low-blow him. This led to another great false finish.
Omega hit back-to-back-to-back V-Triggers, before it was a One-Winged Angel to the finish, and a new AEW World Champion.
AEW Beach Break: In Conclusion
AEW Beach Break was an entertaining show, including two new champions and a big return. Stay tuned to Greenville Sports Media for AEW coverage.
