AEW’s Fright Night edition of Dynamite airs live on October 28, 2026, from Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri, with two significant storylines reaching pivotal points on the same card. Darby Allin puts the TNT Championship on the line against Josh Alexander, while FTR’s Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler face the Motor City Machine Guns in the third match of their Best-of-Five series, according to Fightful and F4W Online.
The broadcast is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. Central, 5 p.m. Pacific) and will air on TBS, with streaming available on Max, per both outlets’ viewing guides.
Darby Allin vs. Josh Alexander for the TNT Championship
Allin enters the show as the reigning TNT Champion and will defend the title against Josh Alexander in St. Louis. No further details about the circumstances leading to the match or the title’s recent defense history were included in the supplied previews, but the championship bout is confirmed as part of the night’s lineup.
FTR and Motor City Machine Guns Tied at 1-1 in Best-of-Five Series
The other marquee attraction on Fright Night Dynamite is the continuation of the Best-of-Five series between FTR, the team of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, and the Motor City Machine Guns. Both sides previously split the first two matches, leaving the series tied at one win apiece heading into the third bout in St. Louis, as confirmed by Fightful and F4W Online. With the series knotted up, Wednesday’s match three carries added weight, since a win would push either team to the brink of clinching the series outright in a potential fourth match, while a loss would leave that team needing to win out to avoid elimination. No information was provided on the stipulations or results of the first two matches, nor on what is at stake for the winner of the overall series beyond the matches themselves.
Fright Night Dynamite marks a notable stop on AEW’s calendar given the thematic tie-in to the October date, though the supplied sources did not detail any additional Halloween-specific stipulations or segments beyond the confirmed lineup. Fans looking to follow the TNT Championship defense and the pivotal third match in the FTR-Motor City Machine Guns series can tune in live at the confirmed start time on TBS or stream the event on Max.
