Big pay-per-view cards are generally where the most deep-seated feuds get settled in pro wrestling, and Full Gear is definitely one of AEW’s most high profile events of any calendar year. But what happens when you simply can’t wait until then? That’s what we’ll find out tonight on AEW Dynamite in Ontario, Calif.
Who will win the Street Fight with the longest name in wrestling history?
Think we’re joking? Thanks to some sponsorship love, the technical name of this match is the Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name Street Fight. And if you think it doesn’t need that many words, please consider that there’s a formal request to change the video game’s Wikipedia page so that it includes everything after the colon.
Jokes aside, this should not be for the weak of heart as Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho try to strike back against The Don Callis Family with the help of two of their friends, Kota Ibushi and Paul Wight. Callis’ side needed some reinforcements too since Sammy Guevara is still out of action, but it found a great replacement in Brian Cage.
It’s hard to imagine this won’t be memorable.
Will the Young Bucks focus if they turn heel?
It wasn’t that long ago that fans were (rightfully) questioning whether the Young Bucks winning a tag team title shot meant anything since AEW immediately seemed to forget about it. But it’s been brought back to the forefront as the Bucks will defend that opportunity tonight against the kinda-Lucha Bros., with Komander subbing for the injured Rey Fenix.
Because of the change, it feels unlikely that the Bucks will lose their chance to compete for the championship. They’ve also been acting a lot more heel-like lately, which begs the question of whether they will get back to what they’ve done best if they complete the turn. This Dynamite match may hint toward an answer.
Will MJF learn the Devil’s true identity tonight?
One of AEW’s most prominent running subplots involves the person in the Deivl mask who’s been making life difficult for anyone in the orbit of AEW World Champion MJF. Since Maxwell is scheduled to speak on Dynamite, it stands to reason that the Devil may make its latest appearance.
But will they reveal themselves? That’s the real drama any time the champ shows up now before Full Gear.
