The AEW World Championship is about to get a lot more interesting on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite from Independence, Missouri.
Actually, we should say the Interim AEW World Championship, since that’s what’s at stake while CM Punk is recuperating from his recent injuries. Someone will walk away with the interim title at Forbidden Door in just a few weeks, but one of the wrestlers who will compete for that honor in Chicago will be decided tonight.
It won’t be easy. First, any of the hopefuls will have to win the Casino Battle Royale that is scheduled to start the show. Yes, the ‘Casino’ part of that implies there will be a joker whose identity won’t be revealed until their music hits. That adds an extra layer of intrigue to what should already be an exciting melee.
Winning the Battle Royale might be the easy part, too. That’s because whoever wins has to face Jon Moxley in the main event, and considering the roll the former world champion has been on since he hooked up with the Blackpool Combat Club, it wouldn’t be wise to bet against him advancing to Forbidden Door.
A few other very interesting bouts have been announced as well. Buddy Mathews vs. Pac should be an absolute barnburner. And former champion Hangman Adam Page will look to take out any frustration he has about … well, being the former champion, when he takes on NJPW’s David Finlay.
