When you have some of the most prominent Canadian pro wrestlers around on the roster, it’s never a bad time to swing through Canada. That’s what AEW Dynamite is doing tonight, with a card that has the potential to keep viewers entertained throughout.
Can Christian Cage cope with Adam Copeland’s rage?
Anyone who’s been a fan of pro wrestling for more than about 10 years knows all about the long friendship between Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, and the last few weeks of AEW programming have been an excellent primer for everyone else. The question was never whether they were going to face off but when.
Montreal seems like the perfect place. And really, this is a problem of Cage’s own making, as he prodded at Copeland until he snapped. Angry Adam is perhaps the best version of him, as no one does a deranged look quite like him.
Can Copeland take the TNT Championship, or does the Patriarch have one last trick up his sleeve?
Can Skye Blue take gold from “Timeless” Toni Storm?
Considering that Toni Storm just won the AEW World Championship again at Full Gear, it seems unlikely she’d lose it this quickly. But considering the run that Skye Blue is on, you can’t fully rule it out.
Always a talented performer, Blue has found her groove by switching from a happy-go-lucky persona to a darker and more driven character, with AEW explaining the change by her exposure to the House of Black’s mist. She could have easily just turned heel, but her tweener positioning is more interesting.
Will that be enough for her to take a title from Toni? Probably not, but we’re anxious to see what goes down tonight.
Will we learn more about the Devil when MJF and Samoa Joe face two of his (her?) masked men?
The identity of the Devil has kept AEW fans engaged for months now, with the masked person and their small army of goons messing with MJF and others at every turn. The AEW World Champion jumped at the chance to get physical with his attackers, and will get the chance to do so on Dynamite alongside protector/contender Samoa Joe.
While you’d expect MJF and Joe to prevail over whoever it is they’re facing (AEW is humorously promoting the match as them vs. “The Devil’s masked men”), the big question is whether there will be more tidbits to latch onto on who might be under that Devil mask.

Will there be any Gold League upsets in the Continental Classic?
The Continental Classic continues in Montreal as well with three more matches in the Gold League. On paper, all three of tonight’s pairings have a clear favorite, but could there be an upset brewing in one of them?
Keep an eye on Jon Moxley vs. Rush. It would behoove AEW to create some doubt about who might advance from the group by having the top stars face some adversity, and something about Moxley’s excellent promo after his last match just makes us think maybe he’s going to stumble before righting himself.
AEW Dynamite comes our way from the Bell Centre in Montreal at 8 p.m. ET tonight, and we’ll have live results and updates here on Wrestling Junkie starting at that time.
