The gold rush you learned about in history class took place in California, but there’s a different kind of gold rush in store for us this week on AEW Dynamite in Baltimore. Four, count ’em, four championships are on the line at the Chesapeake Employer’s Insurance Arena, which is a mouthful by any standard.
The most intriguing and potentially chaotic of the title bouts will see Orange Cassidy put his All-Atlantic Championship on the line against two challengers whose styles couldn’t be more different, Rey Fenix and Luchasaurus. Can the King of Sloth Style prevail against the top luchador in the business today and the large dinosaur man?
Chris Jericho doesn’t even know who his opponent will be, though he doesn’t care much since he’s vowed to stamp out every last vestige of the old ROH. All AEW has revealed is that it’s a former ROH World Champion who will try to take the belt back from The Ocho, which is a short list but does include some people you might not expect to see on Dynamite.
When she’s not busy shooting down Bow Wow, Jade Cargill is usually adding to her undefeated streak. To do so this week, she’ll have to fend off a championship challenge from a woman who had a close call with the TBS Championship before, Marina Shafir.
And Samoa Joe has had about enough of The Embassy, which is why he’s entertaining a challenge from Brian Cage. That makes for a stacked night of championship fights, and we haven’t even mentioned the Daddy Ass Birthday Bash yet.
Phew! Assuming you’re not emotionally invested in Game 4 of the World Series, you’ll want to be watching live on TBS. Otherwise, we suggest that you bookmark this page and check back throughout the evening for the latest AEW Dynamite results from Baltimore as they go down.
