Preview & Predictions for AEW Dynamite:
On tap for tonight's episode, Jon Moxley will be in action against "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Last week, Moxley defeated Knight's tag team partner "Speedball" Mike Bailey, and appears to be continuing in that trend here. Whether that means an other victory or not remains to be seen, but undoubtedly, Darby Allin won't be far behind, after last week nearly running over Wheeler Yuta and calling out Moxley in a challenge for a match at the upcoming AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event, which has yet to be made official.
Moxley's successor as AEW world champion, "Hangman" Adam Page, will have a face-to-face with his archenemy and de facto No. 1 contender, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, on tonight's episode. MJF is determined to get Page to agree to a title match without having to execute the contract he won for a championship opportunity by coming out on top of the Casino Gauntlet at All In, so that he can use that contract as an emergency backup plan to try to steal the title. They've had no reservations about their problems with one another, so this will surely be an explosive meeting.
Also on the schedule is Adam Copeland against Stokely Hathaway, with the idea in mind that if FTR interferes in any way to help out their manager, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler will nullify their restraining order against The Rated-R Superstar. It's a win-win scenario as Cope either gets to open the floodgates to fight FTR, or he gets to beat up on Big Stoke in the meantime and get some revenge on at least one third of this pair.
Obviously, expect more in rivalries such as "Timeless" Toni Storm versus Athena, Mercedes Mone's four-way for the TBS Championship, the eliminator tournament to determine who fights The Hurt Syndicate for the tag titles at Forbidden Door, and more.
