Coming off a huge AEW Dynasty PPV over the weekend, this week's Spring Break Thru episode of Dynamite is set to be a big one.

At the end of Dynasty, MJF was still the AEW Men's World Champion. MJF defeated Kenny Omega with a Heatseeker to win the match and retain his belt. MJF will defend that title on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite because Darby Allin called his shot.

Like MJF, Allin was also victorious at Dynasty. Allin defeated Andrade El Idolo and the stipulation was if he won, he would get a world title match. At Dynasty, Allin revealed that he would be taking his title shot this week in his home state of Washington.

Will Darby Allin be able to do the impossible and win the world championship? How will MJF be physically after a grueling title defense on Sunday? We'll find out on tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite.

Another championship will be on the line this week when Willow Nightingale defends her TBS Championship against Kamille. Kamille made her return to AEW during the Dynast pre-show and attacked Nightingale from behind. Willow wasn't happy with that and immediately challenged Kamille to a title match.

In other action this week, the new TNT Champion, Kevin Knight, will put his title on the line against Claudio Castagnoli. When Castagnoli is in the match, The Death Riders aren't far behind. Will Knight be able to hang onto the title he just won and overcome interference?

Speaking of The Death Riders, Jon Moxley was successful at AEW Dynasty and retained his AEW Continental Championship against Will Ospreay. It was Ospreay's first PPV match since returning to the company from neck surgery. What will Ospreay have to say about the loss? Is his rivalry with Moxley and The Death Riders over?

Finally, Chris Jericho lost to Ricochet at Dynasty, but will be on hand to talk about it and his return to AEW on this week's episode of Dynamite. On the show, Jericho is scheduled to be interviewed by Renee Paquette and should provide insight into his future AEW plans.

AEW Dynamite Results

-The show started with MJF arriving and not knowing that he had a title match against Darby Allin. He talked with Don Callis and was livid at Andrade El Idolo for losing to Darby Allin at Dynasty. Renee Paquette told MJF that the match was starting the show.

-Darby Allin made his entrance to the ring for his title match. MJF followed, but stomped to the ring and refused to wrestle the match. MJF said he would get his lawyers on the case and would not be wrestling an impromptu match. He said it would make the company look bad if he wrestled while injured.

-MJF turned his attention to Darby Allin. He said that Allin was good, but not great. He said that Allin wasn't championship material and that he wasn't ready to be world champion. Darby Allin then stole the mic.

-He told MJF that if he wasn't ready now, he never would be. He said he nearly killed himself for the company. While almost crying, Allin said that he was ready. He told the referee to ring the bell. MJF protested and said no. Bryan Danielson then spoke from the announce table.

-Danielson said that Tony Khan agreed with MJF. He said MJF did deserve time, so the match would happen in the main event of the show instead. MJF flipped out and Danielson also said that MJF would get stripped of the title if he refused to defend it.

-The announce team threw to a Tony Schiavone interview with Kenny Omega from Dynasty. He tried to get a word with Omega on his loss to MJF, but Omega couldn't give him one.

-Omega walked into the training room and sat next to Will Ospreay. They both asked if the other was ok and then had a heart to heart. Ospreay said that Omega had to keep fighting and Omega didn't think he could anymore. Ospreay called Omega his hero and Omega questioned it. To himself, he said that he couldn't give up and that there was still a chance.

-As for Ospreay, he told Omega that he still wanted the world title. Omega agreed. Omega said he had the heart of a wrestler.

-Tommaso Ciamp defeated Dezmond Xavier with his running knee strike. After the match, Ciampa said he wanted all the gold and that he was in line next for the AEW World Championship.

-FTR cut a promo in the ring with Stokely Hathaway. They said that they destroyed the legacy of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. They also mocked Copeland and Cage and did a ten second pose for "those with the benefit of flash photography." FTR got a lot of heat from the audience as they left the ring.

-Kevin Knight defeated Claudio Castagnoli to retain his TNT Championship. After the match, Knight spoke on the microphone and said that he was going to keep an eye on the main event world title match between MJF and Darby Allin.

-Chris Jericho was interviewed by Renee Paquette in the ring. Jericho got a wild response from the audience and soaked it in. He talked about his match with Ricochet and said he lost, but that he lost because it was three on one. Before he could continue on, Ricochet walked out.

-Ricochet said that Jericho should quit. He said he didn't listen to him last week and that he paid for it at Dynasty. Jericho responded by cutting a promo that was heavily tied to Ricochet being bald. He then challenged Ricochet to come to the ring and fight.

-Ricochet did, but he jumped Jericho with Gates of Agony. The trio left Jericho laying in a heap in the ring.

-A clip from AEW Dynasty was shown. Renee Paquette attempted to interview Don Callis after Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita lost to the Young Bucks. Takeshita walked near them and was yelled at by Callis. Takeshita responded to sarcastically said what he did to Okada during the match was an accident. Okada was furious and Callis said he would deal with it.

-Will Ospreay defeated Hechicero with the Hidden Blade. Hechicero beat Ospreay up for a lot of the match and was checked on by the medical team. He sold the neck throughout the match, but got the Hidden Blade in the end. Don Callis was on commentary and said that he'd have to go to plan B in order to beat Ospreay.

-After the match, Ospreay celebrated, but was attacked by Mark Davis from The Don Callis Family. Callis and Davis stood over Ospreay before playing the Willow Nightingale promo from Dynasty.

-Renee Paquette was about to make an announcement, but Thekla interuppted her and walked through the crowd. Thekla talked about beating Jaime Hayter and retaining her AEW Women's World Championship at Dynasty. Thekla called out the women's division for being "b*****s and this prompted Alex Windsor to walk out.

-Windsor challenged Thekla to a match right there, but Thekla denied her. Instead, Windsor challenged her to a title match on Collision and Thekla accepted. The promo felt off the cuff with both women talking over the other at times.

-Jon Moxley cut a promo backstage and said he wasn't to blame for what happened to Will Ospreay at Dynasty. Moxley then turned his attention to Nick Wayne. He said he didn't know much about Wayne, but their match on Collision would be the biggest night of his life. Moxley told Wayne to leave his Mom backstage.

-Willow Nightingale defeated Kamille to retain the TBS Championship. It was a back and forth match, but Nightingale got a rollup pin on Kamille to win.

-MJF was shown walking backstage. The shot then cut to Darby Allin. Allin talked to Paquette about his upcoming match as he walked to the ring backstage. He was stopped by Sting. Allin asked Sting if he had any advice for him and Sting said he knew what to do. He said it was "your time" and told Allin to go out there and do it.

-Darby Allin and MJF made their entrances. When they got to the ring, official introductions were made and their world championship match began.

-Darby Allin defeated MJF to win the AEW World Championship. MJF hit Darby Allin with a low blow early in the match. Just a little later, Allin hit MJF with one. He then hit MJF was four Casket Drops -- one from each corner -- before hitting MJF with a Headlock Takeover to win the title.
