Whose Kingdom Will Stand? AEW Dynamite Preview for February 26 in Oceanside!

This week, AEW Dynamite brings the heat to Oceanside, California, and with it comes a slate of matches that could shift the very landscape of the promotion. On February 26, the Frontwave Arena will witness thrilling showdowns, including a showdown between the high-flying talents of Will Ospreay and Bryan Keith in their Bounty Match, and the anticipated AEW International Title showdown between the champion Konosuke Takeshita and fan-favorite Orange Cassidy. With magnitude rivaling the Royal Rumble, fans can expect no shortage of jaw-dropping action and emotional storytelling as narratives unravel and feuds intensify!

Six Man Tag Team Match: Daniel Garcia & FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) vs. The Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly & Roderick Strong)

The stakes are high in this six-man tag bout, with both teams eager to establish dominance. Daniel Garcia has been in the spotlight recently, especially after teaming up with the confident duo of FTR. Their recent performances have shown a blend of precision and synergy, as highlighted by their match on the last Collision, where Daniel Garcia showed a deadly combination of technical prowess alongside FTR’s brute force. The Undisputed Kingdom, with their recent display of solidarity, emerged as formidable foes after their involvement in the chaotic aftermath of last week’s Trios Title match. Each member bears a personal vendetta against Garcia, which could heighten the intensity of this encounter. A victory here could set up future title opportunities for either team, possibly leading to a factions war brewing in AEW.

Singles Match: Deonna Purrazzo (w/Taya Valkyrie) vs. Harley Cameron

Eyeing to prove herself, Harley Cameron is set for a pivotal contest against the seasoned Deonna Purrazzo. Cameron has garnered attention recently, and despite her last encounter on Collision where she delivered an inspiring promo, she needs to back up her words with action against Purrazzo. Taya Valkyrie in Cameron’s corner not only provides backup but also throws an additional unpredictable layer to the match. Purrazzo, on the other hand, aims to establish her dominance in the women’s division after recent criticisms, including remarks about being overshadowed. A potential victory for Cameron could catapult her into title contention, while Purrazzo might look to regain her stronghold, marking this match as critical for both women’s careers.

Bounty Match: Will Ospreay vs. Bryan Keith

In this high-stakes Bounty Match, Will Ospreay will look to withstand the challenge posed by Bryan Keith, who has a bounty on Ospreay's head thanks to Don Callis. Ospreay, following an impressive showing at Revolution, carries not just his skills but a target on his back. His agility and striking capability make him a tough opponent, especially considering his recent victories against top-tier talent. Bryan Keith, however, revels in the opportunity to take down a superstar like Ospreay, aiming to cement his name on the big stage. If Keith triumphs, it could shift perceptions about his status within AEW and possibly elevate him into a more significant spotlight.

AEW International Title Match: Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Orange Cassidy

Prepare for a clash of styles in the main event as the current International Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, defends against the enigmatic Orange Cassidy. These two bring distinctly different approaches: Takeshita with his intense grappling and raw power juxtaposed against Cassidy’s unorthodox, laid-back style. Cassidy’s recent victories—including a commendable performance to earn this title shot—place him right back in the limelight, vying for a historic third reign. If Orange can shock the world once again, he will not only take the title but potentially put momentum behind a feud with Kenny Omega and Takeshita, further amplifying stakes leading into Revolution!

Looking at the broader landscape, the narrative threads connecting the matches could lead to explosive confrontations down the road, possibly reigniting previous feuds or sparking new alliances. Speculation swirls around potential surprise entrants, and with a lot on the line, it would be no surprise to see names like Chris Jericho or even Powerhouse Hobbs make an appearance to shift the tide. With AEW Dynamite promising action-packed stories, the implications of this event could change the trajectory for various talents within the promotion!
