Maya World wins on AEW Dynamite; Brody King busted open
On the June 10, 2026 episode of AEW Dynamite, Maya World scored a televised singles victory. Swerve Strickland battled Brody King of House of Black later in the card, and King was busted open after a violent top-rope spot that left blood on his face paint. The show also featured Saree's AEW Dynamite debut, and the pairing of Maya World's win with the brutal Swerve vs King collision emphasized AEW's push of new stars and high-impact matches.
Every time I see Dalton Castle I’m like, why isn’t this guy a mid-card Champ in AEW? I wanna watch him have bangers on Dynamite. I wanna see an elaborate homoerotic entrance on PPV. I wanna see a TNT belt with a peacock strap. #WatchROH
testekill.bsky.social6Unfortunately it's because his back is super fucked up. Which is a shame too as a 100% healthy Dalton would have been a big player in AEW.
Darbys Flamethrower3The sad answer is his back is fucked. He got hurt back in 2018 right as ROH made him world champion and he never really got back to that form
#AEWDynamite and stop saying mid carders shouldn't challenge for the world title. get that fed mentality off AEW.
CaptainGrapeDrink10I've said before...my official stance is that "midcarders" don't even exist in AEW. - I've seen everyone at all levels of the card, and it has never mattered one bit.
Katy8Considering AEW has a very small "bubble" of what they consider upper card talent, I personally think way MORE midcarders should challenge for the world title. Darby's run was finally fun for me, because new blood!! Fun matches!!
