Preview & Predictions for AEW Dynamite:
On tap for tonight's episode will be fallout from the Forbidden Door event and the important things that went down at that show. For this particular episode of Dynamite, the two biggest hooks are the title matches. Starting off the show seems to be the AEW World Championship bout with Maxwell Jacob Friedman defending against Mark Briscoe. Every time Briscoe has hit the Jay Driller, MJF hasn't been able to kick out. That includes this past Sunday at Forbidden Door, which netted Briscoe's team the win in their Death's Door steel cage match to earn this title shot. Sadly, Briscoe is not going to win the championship. By hook or by crook, MJF is going to retain. He's either heading into All In as the champion, or he's dropping the belt to Kenny Omega at AEW Redemption. Briscoe being next in line would shock me, as I can't see it being Briscoe vs. Will Ospreay in London.
Ospreay of course won the Owen Hart Cup, as did Mercedes Mone, so those wins will be touched upon, as well as all the champions retaining their titles and such.
It'll all wrap up with a Survival of the Fittest elimination match to crown the new TBS champion, vacated by Willow Nightingale. Out of the lineup of Harley Cameron, Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, Maika, Persephone, and Queen Aminata, I think it's safe to say Maika and Persephone won't likely win, but the rest are kind of up in the air. I wouldn't place a bet on Cameron, to be honest. I'm more so leaning toward Shida than anyone else, but Statlander would work, and Aminata could be in line for a step up the hierarchy. Tough call.
