Thank goodness it’s been a quiet week in pro wrestling and we can all just concentrate on the shows, right? Sarcasm aside, it’s time to get back to actual matches and stories and such tonight on AEW Dynamite in Savannah, including a match we never thought we’d see.
Adam Copeland vs. Minoru Suzuki sounds like something from a wrestling sim
Though Adam Copeland has been using his “Cope Open” challenge matches each week to help highlight younger talent, he certainly is going in a different direction this week against Minoru Suzuki. Yes, we can barely comprehend that we’re typing that either.
This is a matchup between two legends from very different backgrounds and parts of the world, and it’s likely a once in a lifetime deal. That works for us.
Hangman and Swerve seem like they’re still tied together
Even though Swerve Strickland has already defeated Hangman Adam Page twice, the ill will between them is palpable and ongoing. Both men are in action tonight against different foes (Swerve vs. Jeff Hardy, Hangman vs. Penta El Zero Miedo) that you’d expect them to beat.
But then what? The reason they can’t break free from each other right now is that they both have their eyes and hearts set on the AEW World Championship held by Samoa Joe. Can one of them definitively move in line in front of the other, or might there be a Triple Threat match in their future?
What will Toni Storm and Deonna Purrazzo say when they’re face to face?
Deonna Purrazzo has only been All Elite for a few weeks and she’s already catapulted herself right into the mix for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Her bemused exasperation with the wrestler who holds that title, Toni Storm, is understandable: The Virtuosa knew Toni before she was Timeless, after all.
The guess here is that these two would have a heck of a title match against each other, but AEW is wisely taking things fairly slow and giving them more chances to interact. We’ll have a big one tonight on Dynamite, with the two women in a face-to-face interview that should be entertaining.
Also slated for Dynamite from Savannah:
- The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass defend their Trios titles against the Mogul Embassy
- Wardlow takes on Trent Beretta
- We’ll hear from Sting and Darby Allin live
Set aside two hours to light the fuse starting at 8 p.m. ET, or simply join us back here at Wrestling Junkie for live Dynamite results as they happen.
