AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage takes place on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Arizona Financial Theater. Several matches have been announced already for this edition of Dynamite, including AEW World Champion MJF taking on ROH World Champion Bandido! Check out the matches and segments announced for this week’s show and our predictions!
We expect more updates as we approach bell time, and you can find them all right here on DraftKings Network. Let’s take a look at what’s on tap for this week’s AEW Dynamite in Phoenix!
AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage: Announced Matches & Segments – January 14, 2026
Young Bucks vs. Gates of Agony vs. Jetspeed vs. Don Callis Family – 4-Way Tag match with the winner earning a future Tag Title Shot vs. FTR
A strong tag match featuring four teams, all of whom you could make a case for winning. The Young Bucks feel like an obvious choice here as they embrace being babyfaces again for the first time in a long while. However, I think JetSpeed will take the victory, setting up another match with FTR. Those two teams have put on some excellent matches, and this title shot could potentially take place at AEW Revolution on March 15.
Young Bucks vs. Gates of Agony vs. Jetspeed vs. Don Callis Family Prediction: JetSpeed
Darby Allin vs. PAC – Singles Match
The chemistry between these two is excellent, and I hope this feud continues. Allin has been picking up victories over other members of the Death Riders, including Gabe Kidd at Worlds End and Wheeler Yuta on Collision earlier this month. PAC represents his last singles loss, which took place at Full Gear back in November. This could be the spot where Allin picks up his first career singles win against PAC, as the two previously faced off in 2020. A win for Allin here could set up a future stipulation match, with both men having earned a victory over the other.
Darby Allin vs. PAC Prediction – Darby Allin
Babes of Wrath & Kris Statlander vs. Triangle of Madness
The Babes of Wrath were the team that knocked out the Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart & Skye Blue) in the AEW Women’s Tag Team Title Tournament semifinal. I believe we’ll see more of the same in this match. Afterward, I hope the Triangle of Madness moves into a more meaningful program with other members of the roster.
Babes of Wrath & Kris Statlander vs. Triangle of Madness Prediction: Babes of Wrath & Kris Statlander
MJF vs. Bandido
Bandido earned the right to this title match by winning the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Of course, MJF did his best last week on Dynamite to talk Bandido out of the match, but to no avail. While I don’t think Bandido will be the one to dethrone MJF, especially just a few weeks after he won the title at World’s End, it’s possible we don’t see a clean finish. Kenny Omega could easily get involved, or perhaps even Sammy Guevara, whom Bandido defeated last week. I think we’re in for a funky finish here.
MJF vs. Bandido Prediction: MJF
More matches and segments are expected to be announced throughout the day on AEW’s social media channels.
