AEW Dynasty Results: Review, Grades, Card For April 12
Our AEW Dynasty results go live tonight. The event emanates from Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with a stacked card featuring multiple championship implications and high-stakes matchups. The pre-show sets the tone with three matches, including Jack Perry defending his AEW National Championship against Mark Davis.
Moving into the main card, Adam Cope and Christian Cage step into the title picture as they challenge FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Elsewhere, Chris Jericho makes his in-ring return against The Demand’s Ricochet. Also scheduled is Jon Moxley vs. Will Ospreay for the AEW Continental Championship in one of the most anticipated bouts of the night.
The vacant AEW National Championship will also be decided in a Casino Gauntlet match, following Kyle Fletcher’s injury that forced him to relinquish the title. In the main event, the AEW Men’s World Championship is on the line as the current champion, MJF, defends against Kenny Omega, the very man he previously defeated to become the longest-reigning AEW World Champion in his first reign.

AEW Dynasty Zero Hour Results
Renee Paquette welcomes viewers to AEW Dynasty Zero Hour. She is joined on the panel by Jeff Jarrett, RJ City, and Paul Wight. The panel quickly runs down the pre-show lineup and announces the opening match, as NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Alex Windsor faces Death Riders’ Marina Shafir in a non-title bout.
Alex Windsor vs. Marina Shafir
- The finish of the match saw Windsor hit Shafir with the Rivertain Driver for the win.
Winner: Alex Windsor
AEW Star Returns After Lengthy Hiatus
Footage from earlier in the day airs, showing Willow Nightingale preparing to cut a promo. Before she can speak, the AEW TBS Champion is blindsided by the returning Kamille. The former NWA Women’s World Champion launches a brutal assault, repeatedly sending Nightingale crashing into a metal shutter.
The broadcast then cuts back to the panel, where Paquette confirms that Kamille will be in action later during the AEW Dynasty pre-show.
Kamille vs. Big Anne
- The finish of the match saw Kamille plant Big Anne with a Blue Thunder Bomb for the win.
Winner: Kamille
After the match, Kamille’s celebration is cut short when Nightingale confronts her. Despite being warned by medical staff not to get involved, the AEW TBS Champion ignores their advice and steps into harm’s way. Kamille capitalizes instantly, launching another attack. “The Brickhouse” overwhelms Nightingale with a series of clotheslines in the corner before ending the assault with a vicious pump kick.
Jack Perry (c) vs. Mark Davis – AEW National Title Match
- The finish of the match saw Jack Perry counter Mark Davis’ lariat attempt into a hurricanrana, rolling through into a pinfall for the win.
Winner and still AEW National Champion: Jack Perry
Divine Dominion (Lena Kross and Megan Bayne) (c) vs. Hyan and Maya World – AEW Women’s World Tag Team Title Match
- The finish of the match saw Lena Kross and Megan Bayne deliver a double chokeslam to Hyan to secure the win.
Winners and still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions: Divine Dominion
AEW Dynasty Results
It’s time for the AEW Dynasty main show!
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) vs. The Don Callis Family (Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita)
- The finish of the match saw The Young Bucks deliver the Meltzer Driver to Kazuchika Okada to pick up the win.
Winners: The Young Bucks
Grade: A+
They couldn’t have picked a better match to kick off the AEW Dynasty main show. Okada and Takeshita may be out for each other’s blood, but when the moment calls for it, they work together like a well-oiled machine.
For those claiming Okada is a shell of his former self in AEW, just look at the incredible character work he’s been delivering. For context, the Bucks gear spot was hilarious, and The Bucks were excellent as always. Nick Jackson’s athleticism, in particular, continues to stand out.
The biggest takeaway from the match was Takeshita allowing The Bucks to hit the Meltzer Driver on Okada. With a rematch at AEW Double or Nothing seemingly imminent, the anticipation is already building.
Chris Jericho vs. Ricochet
- The finish of the match saw Ricochet hit Chris Jericho with the Lionsault for the win.
Winner: Ricochet
Grade: A-
Jericho may be past his physical prime, but he can still elicit a reaction from the crowd like few others. Shoutout to the Canadian crowd for the singalong during his entrance. That was a spectacular response.
This match turned out to be better than expected, with much of the credit going to Ricochet for doing the heavy lifting. That said, Jericho had his moments as well, including a stunning counter where he reversed a shooting star press into a Codebreaker, which was a thing of beauty.
Ricochet picking up the win using Jericho’s own Lionsault finisher was the ultimate insult to injury.
