Francesco Akira shines in AEW Dynamite opener

entertainmentAug 19, 202629288

Francesco Akira teamed with Will Ospreay and Henare in the trios opener against the Don Callis Family on AEW Dynamite, delivering high-impact spots that drew loud crowd reactions. Viewers singled out several comedic beats, with one post saying "Francesco Akira had me cackling" and another comparing an Akira moment to a Marko Stunt spot with Lance Archer. Akira and Henare entered with Callum Newman's theme, amplifying their presentation alongside Ospreay. The sequence reinforced Ospreay's role opposite Kenny Omega, with multiple posts framing Omega as an increasingly unhinged heel and the episode as further build toward their Wembley match. The opener boosted Ospreay's momentum and kept Omega's villainous characterization central to the coming title storyline.

Will deserves EVERYTHING he’s getting. He joined a terrorist group to try and beat Kenny and was too much of a soft ass bitch to do terrorist shit and HE’S supposed to be the “good guy” in this feud. #AEWDynamite 🤼

I am 100% serious when I say this entire feud has been Kenny pretending to throw a tennis ball and Ospreay running like half a mile before he realizes he didn't throw it #AEWDynamite 🤼

The build for Willow/Mercedes is running circles around Omega/Ospreay. Both will be highly personal matches, but the women are killing it every week ahead of Wembley and I think everyone knows it. #AEWDynamite

Listen...Brawling Birds winning the tag titles is good enough for Wembley. They don't need this Will thing too. Just swerve them...they'll get over it. Lol

Heel Kenny is far and away the best Kenny. I'm so happy to see him back. I want him to have a nice, long, evil reign too.

Yes, Kenny, YES! It feels so good to be evil 😈. I am crying from laughing so much with him. I love anime villain Kenny Omega. This was amazing work from him and continuing to set up his match with Ospreay. #AEWDynamite
