Though it’s a little silly, the Dynamite Diamond Ring is also a fun part of AEW lore. Where else can you win a prize that’s also guaranteed to be useful as a weapon when the referee’s back is turned? Well, we suppose a title belt fits that description too, but the ring is a lot more portable and thus easier to hide. In any case, said ring will be an important part of tonight’s AEW Dynamite from Rosenberg, Texas.
So far MJF has won the ring every year it’s been around. He’d undoubtedly like to keep it in his possession, but doing so will mean defeating the winner of tonight’s Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale. As the name implies, it will pit 12 men against each other for the right to face the AEW World Champion and maybe, just maybe, claim the ring for their own.
A couple of AEW’s top stars will be in singles action on Dynamite as well. Kenny Omega will take on Aussie Open’s Kyle Fletcher in a match that has some real “co-sign for the next generation” vibes to it. Jay White, who already has a date with MJF to fight over another treasure, will battle Penta El Zero Miedo.
Jim Ross will sit down for an interview with Nick Wayne and his mom, and no that’s not a joke of any kind we’re attempting. If it was Stacy’s mom, then we definitely would. We’ll also hear from Sting, which is a treat any time it happens.
On top of all that, we’re slated to see “Timeless” Toni Storm in action again tonight. Storm has been tremendous since she slowly pivoted to her current gimmick, showing real growth as a personality beyond her in-ring skills. She’s basically can’t-miss TV at this point.
And of course, we wouldn’t miss the show this evening, so if you can’t watch live at 8 p.m. ET on TBS, please consider joining us back here at Wrestling Junkie for live AEW Dynamite results and updates on anything else of interest from Texas.
