If you like your pro wrestling to be for a good cause, tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite from Nashville is definitely one you will appreciate.
AEW boss Tony Khan announced last week that this week’s shows would be under the Fight for the Fallen banner, with proceeds from Dynamite/Rampage and Collision going to the Maui Food Bank to provide assistance to victims of Maui’s devastating wildfires.
While that’s a sobering motivating force, tonight’s card looks like one that will live up to the special branding. Headlining is yet another title defense for Orange Cassidy, but against an opponent you could actually see defeating him for the AEW International Championship: Blackpool Combat Club’s Wheeler Yuta.
The Gunns will take on the Young Bucks in the Jacksons’ second straight battle of brother tag teams. Jeff Jarrett and Jeff Hardy will face off in something called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Deathmatch, which sounds terrifying on several levels. And Britt Baker is up against The Bunny in a high stakes match that sends the winner to the four-way title bout at All In.
The non-wrestling segments also sound pretty compelling. Chris Jericho says he’ll give his answer to Don Callis about potentially joining Don’s “Family.” Kenny Omega is scheduled for a sit-down interview with Jim Ross, where he teased a reveal for his All In plans. Last but definitely not least, we’ll hear from bosom buddies MJF and Adam Cole as they discuss facing each other for the AEW World Championship in London.
All of that should make for a fast-moving two hours in Nashville. Be sure to tune in at 8 p.m. ET on TBS to take it all in, or rely on us to update you with results and any other points of interest as they happen.
