AEW Dynamite : Blood and Guts 2026

The concept of the event comes from the Blood and Guts match, and each main event match of the card is contested under this stipulation. It uses the classic WarGames format from Jim Crockett Promotions, which differs from the modified WWE format. The match features two rings enclosed by a steel cage, which was developed by wrestler Virgil Runnels, better known as "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes.
