You know how sometimes you look at the rundown for a weekly wrestling show and think “How are they going to fit this all into two hours?” That’s definitely the case for tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Philadelphia.
We’re not complaining, mind you. We applaud ambition. We also like special guest stars, which is what this show will definitely have when Orange Cassidy teams with NJPW icon Kazuchika Okada to face the Blackpool Combat Club’s Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli.
Three matches will have big prizes attached. Hikaru Shida, one again a fighting champ, will defend the AEW Women’s World Championship against Ruby Soho. The men’s world champ, MJF, doesn’t have his title on the line, but he will be fighting to hold onto something close to his heart when he tries to keep Juice Robinson from winning the Dynamite Diamond Ring. And the Hung Bucks (that’d be the Young Bucks and Hangman Adam Page) will defend the ROH six-man titles we often forget they hold against The Hardys and Brother Zay.
That’s not even all. Since we’re in Philly, an RVD appearance only make sense, and he’ll team with Hook to take on the Dark Order duo of Alex Reynolds and John Silver. Plus we’ll hear from Swerve Strickland as he addresses Hangman once again, Chris Jericho will have a sitdown interview with Renee Paquette, and Tony Khan will present a gift to Sting.
We’d say that’s a pretty packed lineup, all things considered. And the Philly fans should definitely represent like they always do, despite that whole NLCS business last night.
Oh, and we’ll be in the house live for this one too, so we’re looking forward to it. If you are too, you’ll want to tune in at 8 p.m. ET on TBS to catch this stacked AEW Dynamite live.
