Sometimes you just need to settle things inside a steel cage. Well, in pro wrestling, anyway, we don’t recommend using that method for resolving run of the mill disputes. Happily, Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega are indeed pro wrestlers, two of the best, in fact, so they can go that route on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite in Detroit.
The fun part of their shared history is that a Steel Cage match doesn’t even represent an uptick in violence for them, considering they’ve already had an Unsanctioned Lights Out match and an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. But the ongoing enmity between Omega’s Elite and Moxley’s Blackpool Combat Club more or less demands something dramatic at this point, and this qualifies — on free TV, no less.
Yet this isn’t the only match worth noting for this week, as Tony Khan’s claims that this is a PPV-caliber card aren’t off base. Rey Fenix and Claudio Castagnoli will face off in a Double Jeopardy match where shots at each of their ROH titles are at stake. House of Black will defend their World Trios Championship under their own unique House Rules for the first time against Bandido and Best Friends. And the most workmanlike champion in major pro wrestling, Orange Cassidy, will put up his International Championship against a very real threat in Daniel Garcia.
Plus there’s a No Holds Barred match between friends turned enemies Julia Hart and Anna Jay, and we’ll hear from both Christian Cage and FTR. Stacked, you say? Sure seems like it to us.
That means if you won’t be at Little Caesars Arena in person, you’ll want to be watching at 8 p.m. ET on TBS. Failing that, we’ll have full results and all the relevant details from Dynamite here on Wrestling Junkie later tonight.
