As seen during the main event of AEW Dynamite on April 15th, 2026, MJF defended the world title against Darby Allin. MJF tried to get out of having a title defense at the start of Dynamite. Just prior to the match, Sting gave a pep talk to Darby.

MJF hit a low blow behind the referee’s back, but then Darby responded with his own low blow. He followed up with a Death Drop, then a Coffin Drop, another one, a third, and a fourth before finishing with a headlock takeover to win.
