MJF is going to have to defend his AEW World Championship a week from now at Grand Slam, and for once, he doesn’t even seem that upset about it since the show is in New York. But he doesn’t know who his opponent will be, and one of the key parts of tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite from Cincinnati will be finding out who that challenger is.
A tournament to determine the Grand Slam challenger has made it to the final, and both men left standing have reasons for wanting to face MJF beyond just winning the Triple B. Samoa Joe started something with the champ at All Out and has only escalated things since then. Not many people know how to prove a point like he does.
As for Roderick Strong, his quest is a bit more personal. Feeling abandoned by his good friend Adam Cole, Strong would like nothing more than to stick it to Cole by winning the title Adam failed to claim at All In.
(Also, neck health awareness!)
Of course, that’s far from the only thing on tap for tonight. Cincy’s favorite son, Jon Moxley, will defend his International Championship against Big Bill. A four-way battle will pick a challenger for Saraya and the AEW Women’s World Championship at Grand Slam, and one of the contestants is the now delightfully off her rocker Toni Storm, so watch for the shoe.
Plus we’ll see Hangman Adam Page, who had his manhood and desire questioned last week by Swerve Strickland, go up against Brian Cage. We’ll hear from Le Sex Gods, and Don Callis will unveil his latest “masterpiece,” which we can safely assume to be another painting in questionable taste.
You know what that means: that you need to either tune in to TBS at 8 p.m. ET tonight, or join us back here at Wrestling Junkie for live updates.
