Preview & Predictions for AEW Dynamite:
On tap for tonight's shows, we've got Darby Allin putting the world title on the line again. This time, his challenger is "Speedball" Mike Bailey, who doesn't stand a chance. They'll put on a great show and it will earn him some clout with some near-falls and such, but I'd bet my life savings on Allin retaining. The same basically goes for the tag team title match, as I just cannot picture FTR dropping the belts to two-thirds of the trios champions prior to having their already scheduled match against Cage and Cope for Double or Nothing. That'd be insane.
I do think Kyle O'Reilly will beat Jon Moxley in their eliminator match to set up a title shot for Double or Nothing, but I don't think The Divine Dominion will lose their eliminator match against whoever their opponents end up being. That's still up for a guess, though, considering we don't know the challengers.
With Mark Briscoe against Tommaso Ciampa, I'm split. I can see an argument for both of them winning, so it really depends on who Tony Khan wants to push going forward. I'd give a slight edge to Briscoe as the returning guy with that momentum, but that's basically a 60/40 at most. Will Ospreay definitely beats Katsuyori Shibata.
