It’s almost time to dream. WrestleDream, that is, this Sunday in Seattle. The brand spanking new pay-per-view is a tribute to the late Antonio Inoki, but also has a bit of an air of mystery about it. Nevertheless, there is business to attend to first, and that means AEW Dynamite from the Denver adjacent town of Broomfield.
What’s on tap? Only two matches have bee promoted so far. One will see Willow Nightingale slightly less cheerful than usual as she takes on Julia Hart. An all business attitude might help since Hart has been on a tear as of late, and will face Kris Statlander for the TBS Championship on Sunday.
The other advertised bout for Dynamite is a four-way dance that is a preview of the four-way tag team top contenders match on the WrestleDream card. Penta, Matt Jackson, Orange Cassidy and Austin Gunn will all do battle tonight to get … we suppose a mental leg up on the competition for the weekend.
Talking segments? Yes, we’ve got some of those too. Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland will have the contract signing for what has quickly become one of the most personal WrestleDream feuds. Christian Cage and Darby Allin will have a sitdown interview with Jim Ross ahead of their 2-out-of-3 falls title match in Seattle. And we’ll hear from Adam Cole and MJF, who will defend their ROH tag team titles against The Righteous on Sunday.
Could there be more beyond what AEW is promoting? Quite possibly, especially when it comes to matches as the above doesn’t feel like enough to fill two hours. But that’s why we watch, right?
We’ll certainly be watching starting at 8 p.m. ET on TBS. If you aren’t able to do the same, please consider visiting us again at Wrestling Junkie as we’ll have live results and updates as they happen.
