The first episode of AEW Dynamite starts off with a bang!
In Kenny Omega’s first championship defense, the cocky AEW World Champion will fight Rey Fenix in a match that should’ve taken place during the AEW World Title Eliminator tournament. The last time these two men collided, Omega beat Fenix and became the AAA Mega Champion at AAA Heroes Inmortales XIII. Will Rey Fenix return the favor by taking the AEW World title?
For the AEW Women’s Championship, Hikaru Shida will put her belt on the line against Abadon. Since winning the belt at Double or Nothing, Shida has managed to successfully defend her title five times and even owns a victory over Abadon on AEW Dark in March. Will Shida continue her dominance as champion by beating the challenger again?
