From ALL IN: LONDON 2024 to ALL OUT 2024 AEW Grand Slam RETURNS tonight to one of New York’s most historic venues with a BANG!

 

 

For the fourth time All Elite Wrestling comes to Arthur Ashe Stadium for a loaded night of the best professional wrestling on the planet, continuing what has been one of the wildest months in AEW’s history!

From ALL IN: LONDON 2024 to ALL OUT 2024 to tonight’s return to one of New York’s most historic venues, it has been a wild road filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, coincidentally both of those swirling around “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson.

We watched him finally earn the AEW World Championship at Wembley Stadium but then stood helpless as he was violently assaulted by men he called brothers at ALL OUT 2024.

Now he sits in limbo, wondering if AEW Medical will clear him to answer the challenge made by another man who experienced his own highest high inside Wembley: Nigel McGuinness.

On top of that potential fight 15 years in the making, we will also see Jon Moxley take on Darby Allin as the latter puts a World Title opportunity he earned via Royal Rampage on the line against the former, as well as The Young Bucks defend the AEW World Tag Titles against AEW International Champion Will Osprey and “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher.

They earned their opportunity through the first Tag Team Casino Gauntlet, can Ospreay parlay his third Casino Gauntlet victory into a second title win? Plus AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May defends versus “The Magical Girl” Yuka Sakazaki, Prince Nana will be on-hand to give us an update on Swerve Strickland, and Undisputed Kingdom’s Roderick Strong will challenge HOOK for the FTW Championship!

 

DYNAMITE: GRAND SLAM 2024 comes to the world beginning at 8pm ET/7pm CT on TBS, and around the world, with one of the most loaded episodes of AEW TV ever presented.

Before it begins, please visit the official AEW YouTube channel to catch up on highlights from recent editions of DYNAMITE, COLLISION, and RAMPAGE, as well as the epic Timelines dedicated to Nigel McGuinness and ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, and visit Honor Club to experience the full McGuinness/Danielson rivalry!

Then we’ve got RAMPAGE on Friday, COLLISION on Saturday featuring a Tornado Trios contest between The Learning Tree and The Conglomeration, then it’s off to Pittsburgh for DYNAMITE’s 5th Anniversary featuring Ospreay versus Ricochet and Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D’s homecoming!

DYNAMITE: GRAND SLAM 2024, 15 YEARS IN THE MAKING…

AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson versus Nigel McGuinness

 

 

There is a very rich history between these two individuals, one explored in great detail here and whose video footage can be seen on Honor Club; suffice it to say theirs is a rivalry dating back to April 2006 when then-ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson faced then-ROH Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness in a Title-For-Title match at WEEKEND OF CHAMPIONS: NIGHT 2.

That night in Cleveland Nigel actually defeated “The American Dragon” but the rules of the match saw each man retain their title, though it kickstarted a rivalry that has endured for 18 years across multiple continents and several wrestling promotions.

The bulk of their story took place in Ring of Honor between 2006 and 2009, in fact their last match for ROH actually took place against one another at the famed Manhattan Center on September 26, 2009 in the main event of GLORY BY HONOR VIII: THE FINAL COUNTDOWN.

When they both departed, it seemed as if the wounds had healed and that the wars they’d fought against one another had bred a respect between Bryan and Nigel, but the more time has passed, the more it has become clear that McGuinness, despite being a former ROH World Champion himself with a longer title reign that Danielson’s as well as multiple victories over Bryan, is as envious of Bryan now as he was 20 years ago when he first became a full-time ROH competitor. From the moment Nigel entered into the AEW sphere, he has taken every opportunity to throw a verbal jab Bryan’s way, be it calling him “Brittle Bryan” or digging up the old “Clamdigger Danielson” moniker Nigel attached to him some 18 years ago, Nigel has never let an opportunity to bury Bryan pass him by.

Nigel’s role as commentator has certainly facilitated all these insults, giving him a platform to hurl every ridiculous comment he can think of Danielson’s way while Bryan hears very little of them unless he elects to watch the night’s proceedings back.

McGuinness has celebrated Danielson’s defeats, mourned his triumphs, and as soon as he saw an opportunity to level another humiliation Danielson’s way, Nigel jumped at the opportunity.

The question tonight is Nigel McGuinness actually hoping AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson is able to compete at DYNAMITE: GRAND SLAM 2024 or if he’s banking on AEW’s medical team not giving medical clearance to the champ?

Perhaps it’s a case of Nigel holding out hope that Bryan is cleared for the fight, but his lingering medical issues, compiled with what Jon Moxley did at ALL OUT 2024, have left Danielson far less than 100% while McGuinness is coming to New York in far better physical condition than he was in the majority of their other encounters.

The 13 years Nigel spent watching from the safety of an announcer’s desk has allowed his body to heal, allowed him to train properly without fear of injury every time he set foot in the ring, and allowed him to focus all the resentment, anger, and disappointment he feels directly at “The American Dragon”.

It doesn’t matter how many people tell Nigel about the influence he had on their decision to become a pro wrestler, or how many pundits boost him up as one of the greatest of his generation.

It doesn’t matter what championships he’s held, where he’s traveled, or who he’s fought because in his mind, no matter what he did, the world always viewed Bryan Danielson as the better man and the one who the world celebrated when he battled back from losing his career multiple times.

Nigel wanted that for himself, from the moment he watched wrestling at Wembley Stadium 32 years ago he wanted the glory and adulation, and it has eaten him up to see Bryan get it from the world.

In Nigel’s mind, tonight is a win-win for him, or at least that’s what he says out loud. If Bryan can’t compete, Nigel can claim it as a victory, and even if Bryan can step into the ring, Nigel has convinced himself he’s already won the match, that his victory is an inevitability.

Perhaps it is, perhaps the stars are perfectly aligned for McGuinness to find whatever it is he needs to fill the hole in his soul, but what if nothing can?

What if victory doesn’t make Nigel whole for the first time in his professional life? Moreover, what if Danielson does compete and defeat Nigel as he did only ten miles and fifteen years in the past?

What will become of Nigel McGuinness if his worst fears come true and he’s faced to accept the possibility that maybe, just maybe, “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson is the better wrestler and the better man?

AEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH…

The Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson)(c) versus AEW International Champion Will Ospreay & “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher

 

 

Somehow The Young Bucks escaped ALL OUT 2024 and ALL IN: LONDON 2024 with the AEW World Tag Team Titles still around their waists.

Between those two pay-per-view events, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson faced three of AEW’s premier teams in Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta at the former, and both The Acclaimed and FTR at the latter.

That’s six of the best athletes in professional wrestling today, and The Young Bucks found a way to make it through that gauntlet still clutching their championship. 

Give these devils their due; after spending the first four months of their third title reign doing everything but defending the belts, the brothers Jackson have put them on the line three times in six weeks and now sit at 157 days as the title holders.

Tonight on DYNAMITE, inside historic Arthur Ashe Stadium, Matthew and Nicholas will make that four times in six weeks as they face the challenge of “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher and AEW International Champion Will Ospreay!

The duo who once stood side-by-side as United Empire earned this shot with a Casino Gauntlet victory, Ospreay’s third overall after two singles Gauntlet wins earlier this year, and they roll into this title bout having beaten The Elite in trios competition last week on DYNAMITE.

Despite that Casino Gauntlet marking the first time Ospreay and Fletcher had to function as a tag team since October 12, 2019, they found their groove as a duo, and built upon it with that trios victory alongside Konosuke Takeshita, giving them added momentum. 

It should be noted that this isn’t the first dance between these four men either, just their first tag team affair, in fact it’s not even their first AEW meeting as Ospreay, Fletcher, and Mark Davis fell to The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega in the 2022 AEW World Trios Title Tournament.

Ospreay is also quite familiar with Matthew and Nicholas from New Japan Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, bouts in England, and even a ROH World Tag Title fight in 2016. Thirteen matches involving Ospreay and The Young Bucks, the record split 6-6, with the 13th going to another team in a 2017 Three Way Trios bout, and the two title fights in that history actually going 1-1 as well. 

Even with all that history, this is by far the most important contest between Ospreay and The EVPs, in part because of the AEW World Tag Titles at stake, in part because of who his partner is for the fight, and in part because of how it could tie him right back to the Don Callis Family.

Ospreay has done his best to distance himself from The DCF with as little drama as possible, but leave it to Don to use an owed favor to pull “The Aerial Assassin” right back in at the most opportune moment. 

Will The Young Bucks find a way to make it out of Arthur Ashe with the titles still in The Elite camp, or will this be the night Ospreay adds a second AEW title to his trophy case while Fletcher captures his first?

If Matthew and Nicholas make it out as champs, they’ll be just a few days shy of owning two of the top four spots in the annals of AEW’s tag team history, but if it’s Ospreay and Fletcher, well “The Aerial Assassin” will become the first man in AEW history to hold an AEW singles title and the AEW Tag Titles simultaneously!

AEW WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH…

“The Glamour” Mariah May(c) versus Yuka Sakazaki

 

Since the beginning, “The Magical Girl” Yuka Sakazaki has been part of All Elite Wrestling. Participating at the first DOUBLE OR NOTHING in 2019, Yuka impressed the AEW faithful despite losing a trios bout to Hikaru Shida, Riho, and Ryo Mizunami, and came back at FYTER FEST 2019 to fight a three-way battle against Riho and Nyla Rose.

Returning to her home in Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, Yuka captured their Princess of Princess Title before making her AEW return in February 2020 with a tremendous three-minute victory over Dr. Britt Baker! It seemed Yuka was poised to make a huge impact on All Elite Wrestling’s Women’s Division, but the travel restrictions that came along with the COVID-19 pandemic kept her from participating on AEW events for seventeen months.

Despite those restrictions, AEW coordinated with Joshi promotions to present an International Eliminator Tournament where Yuka, Mei Suruga, Emi Sakura, VENY, Ryo Mizunami, Maki Itoh, Aja Kong, and Rin Kadokura comprised a Japan Bracket with the winner of this meeting the United States bracket winner to vie for an AEW Women’s World Title fight at REVOLUTION 2021.

Yuka made it to the Finals of the Japanese bracket, falling to Mizunami, but further ingratiating herself to the All Elite Wrestling fans with a hard-hitting style belied by her presentation and stature.

In July 2021, AEW welcomed Yuka back to the fold just as the company returned to the road, and over the course of the last three years “The Magical Princess” has made sporadic appearances, including fighting Riho in a Qualifying Match for the 2022 Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament, but it was only this year when Yuka moved to the United States that it looked like AEW would finally get her as a full-time member of the Women’s roster.

Unfortunately, during a bout with Emi Sakura on the April 20th edition of RAMPAGE, Yuka suffered an injury that kept her on the sidelines for five months, derailing a fight with Serena Deeb, and putting a hold on her impressive eight-match win streak.

To the joy of many, Yuka made her return to competition just ten days ago, picking up right where she left off with Serena Deeb and putting down “The Professional” in the September 14th COLLISION clash! Yuka looked like she hadn’t missed a beat with that ninth consecutive win, but it was a choice Yuka made earlier in the night that has shaped the days since.

Ahead of the match with Deeb, Yuka confronted AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May and left no uncertainty that she wanted the title May won at ALL IN: LONDON 2024.

That led to Mariah attacking Yuka after the Deeb victory, but it was May who ended up laid out by the hopeful challenger, though the favor was returned four days later in their tag team tussle as Mariah sacrificed a victory to drill Yuka with the Women’s Title belt, proceeding to whip her with the belt as she had done Luther and Toni Storm in the past.

In the days since, fans have heard Mariah May beg for Yuka Sakazaki to come bully her at GRAND SLAM 2024, and noted how in Japan they call Yuka “killer”, all due to how, as previously mentioned, her style of fighting is the definition of “don’t judge a book by its cover”.

Yuka is vicious, mean, hits far harder than anyone could anticipate until her elbows make contact, but it looks like that side of “The Magical Girl” is what Mariah May wants to face at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

She wants the violence, the bully, and she wants to take it on while the eyes of Mina Shirakawa are watching…

FTW CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH…

HOOK(c) versus Roderick Strong

 

 

Roderick Strong had taste of championship success earlier this year when he defeated Orange Cassidy to claim the AEW International Title, but after 84 days and a single successful defense, he was bested by Will Ospreay at DOUBLE OR NOTHING 2024.

Since then Roddy has tried in vain to reach title-holder status again, failing in an AEW World Championship match with Swerve Strickland, coming up just shy in a ROH World Title fight with Mark Briscoe, and falling to Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs in a ROH World Six-Man Title bout.

Yet Strong is nothing if not persistent, just look at his Ring of Honor history where he challenged for the World Title 15 times before winning it once, and that drive has served him very well for his 20+ year wrestling career.

The latest target in his sights, FTW Champion HOOK, will experience what that persistence means tonight at DYNAMITE: GRAND SLAM 2024 when he defends that title against Strong in their first singles meeting!

Last Saturday night on COLLISION, when the two were on opposite sides of ten-man tag, they ended up brawling off away from everyone else, leaving HOOK’s team to take a loss when RUSH pinned Dax Harwood.

Tonight there are no other distractions, theoretically it’s just one-on-one although the likelihood Matt Taven and Mike Bennett stay out of it is slim, but even without Undisputed Kingdom involvement, Roderick Strong is one of the toughest tests HOOK has had across all three of his FTW Title reigns.

Will he walk out of Arthur Ashe and return home to New York still holding that title, or will it find a new home down in Florida on the Strong family mantle?

WORLD TITLE SHOT ON THE LINE!

Darby Allin versus Jon Moxley

Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Claudio Castagnoli, and PAC have unleashed chaos into the landscape of All Elite Wrestling though it seems to be done with the intent of bringing order.

With every action they take Mox’s words echo around them: “This is not your company anymore”. As he beckoned for Darby Allin to have a tête-à- tête: “This is not your company anymore.”

As Moxley assaulted Bryan Danielson at ALL OUT 2024: “This is not your company anymore”. As he demanded Darby turn over his Royal Rampage-earned World Title fight to Mox: “This is not your company anymore.”

Of course that statement belies the question of whose is it then? Is it Mox’s? Is it this BCC-adjacent group he’s created with PAC, Claudio, and Marina?

What exactly do those words mean and why does that statement necessitate the sort of violence we’ve witnessed perpetrated on Danielson and Private Party over the last several weeks?

Why is it so utterly important to Moxley that it be he who challenges for the AEW World Title in Darby’s place? Of course the AEW World Championship is the ultimate reason for stepping into the ring, but it feels as if there is a greater purpose swirling around in the wasp’s nest of Moxley’s mind.

It feels as if Moxley is being purposefully ambiguous to avoid overplaying his hand at this moment, and expecting the cache of good will he’s engendered being AEW’s flag bearer since 2019 to equate to trust in his purpose.

Darby Allin certainly doesn’t trust this purpose Moxley is on, he isn’t a man to just give up a title opportunity he earned because the 3-Time World Champion demanded it.

Darby is the man who will fight for everything he’s earned, everything he believes in, and there are few men who believe in All Elite Wrestling more than Darby.

It’s why he stepped into Anarchy in the Arena and Blood & Guts this year to wage war against The Elite and their differing ideas on just what AEW is meant to be, and now he’s prepared to do the same against Jon Moxley.

At least The EVPs were clear about their intent, they just want power and everyone to bend the knee to their whims, but Moxley’s motivations are far murkier at this point, and that is not a situation lending to trust.

It doesn’t matter what respect Darby had for Moxley, or their shared history starting from that first match together in Waterbury, CT shortly after DOUBLE OR NOTHING 2019 to their first AEW bout during the November 20, 2019 DYNAMITE to Darby going solo against The Inner Circle on the March 4, 2020 DYNAMITE after Jericho’s ilk took out Moxley ahead of their scheduled tag match.

Darby even challenged Moxley for the AEW World Title on the August 5, 2020 edition of DYNAMITE and the following year aligned himself with Mox and Eddie Kingston in a series of trios matches; all that, it’s a long way of saying the two men have fought together, bled together, and seemingly bonded over it, but the moment Moxley demanded to be handed a title shot rather than earn it, all of that fell by the wayside for Darby Allin.

He didn’t see the same Jon Moxley he fought in Waterbury or at Daily’s Place, instead Darby saw just another man who didn’t want to continue earning their way. 

Well tonight inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, Darby has every intention of making Moxley earn that title opportunity the hard way and showing Jon that he’s not the same person he was in 2019 when they first fought, or even 2020 when they last fought.

The four years that have passed have hardened Darby Allin, but also taught him so much as he fought besides “The Icon” Sting, claimed the AEW World Tag Titles with him, and became a 2-Time TNT Champion with a combined 214 days and 13 defenses to his credit.

It should also be noted that Darby’s first reign still holds the records for both the longest at 186 days as well as the most successful with nine defenses.

All of that has come since Jon and Darby last fought, so it is going to be quite the intriguing clash tonight when these two foundational athletes of AEW meet with a future World Championship opportunity at stake!

Will the future of AEW belong to Jon Moxley and his machinations, or does it belong to Darby Allin and his vision of what All Elite Wrestling means? 

SWERVE’S STATUS…

 

We have not seen Swerve Strickland on AEW television since the Lights Out Steel Cage Match with Hangman Page at ALL OUT 2024.

 

After that violent display of barbarism Hangman Page turned his focus to any individual he views as obstructing his path to vengeance, hence the Lumberjack Strap Match with Jeff Jarrett taking place during COLLISION: GRAND SLAM 2024, but what about Swerve’s focus?

 

What’s his physical condition after everything he went through inside NOW Arena just a few weeks ago? Tonight during DYNAMITE we will hear from Prince Nana regarding the former AEW World Champion’s status…

 

 

COLLISION: GRAND SLAM 2024 LUMBERJACK STRAP MATCH…

“Hangman” Adam Page versus “The Last Outlaw” Jeff Jarrett

Perhaps more than anyone save Swerve Strickland, “Hangman” Adam Page has had “The Last Outlaw” Jeff Jarrett in his sights since returning to AEW from his Elite-enforced suspension.

First clashing in the 2024 Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament, the two have been a constant part of each other’s life.

Whether it be Hangman just attacking Jeff backstage for no rational reason, Jeff getting involved in Blood & Guts, or Jay Lethal standing up for his friend after that assault, they’ve been entrenched in each other’s business for several months, and it hasn’t been a positive for either man.

Their engagement has seen nothing but violence, Hangman not caring if Karen Jarrett got in the way, or that he also had Satnam Singh and Jay Lethal to fight against.

All Page saw was yet another person getting in the way of his vengeance on Swerve, and that meant at some point a rematch of their Owen Hart Tournament Quarterfinal was bound to happen.

It wasn’t Hangman who finally made the call to action though, it was “The Last Outlaw” who finally had enough of Page and laid down the challenge for the Lumberjack Strap Match fans inside Arthur Ashe Stadium will see tonight but those around the world will have to wait until COLLISION on Saturday night to watch.

Jarrett named people like Dark Order, Lethal, and Satnam as people he wants surrounding the ring, people with an issue to settle where it comes to the dark path Hangman has chosen to walk the last several months. Friends he’s forgotten or abandoned, enemies he’s made along the way, they will stand outside the ring with straps in hand, waiting for someone to leave the “safety” of the squared circle…

SARAYA’S RULES

Jamie Hayter versus “The Unproblematic Icon” Saraya

It’s been building since DOUBLE OR NOTHING 2023 when The Outcasts assaulted Jamie Hayter ahead of her AEW Women’s World Championship defense against Toni Storm, putting her on the shelf for 15 months until Hayter’s surprising return at ALL IN: LONDON 2024. That night Hayter did not get her hands on Saraya since she threw Harley Cameron in the path of the former World Champ to protect herself, and that’s been the case since. Saraya runs away, Harley steps up, and Jamie drops her in seconds flat. Hayter put her down in a match in Champaign a few days after ALL IN: LONDON 2024, and knocked her out after The Outcasts’ tag on the September 13th RAMPAGE, but couldn’t get anything on Saraya.

 

That changes tonight at Arthur Ashe Stadium when Saraya must step into the ring with Jamie Hayter, but “The Unproblematic Icon” has certainly stacked the deck against her foe. In the video embedded above, fans can hear just how great the odds are, just how much Jamie Hayter has to overcome in order to exact revenge on Saraya, but after fighting against the odds for the last year to get back in the ring, she’s ready to do whatever it takes to even the score with this Outcast!

TRIOS BOUT…

The Conglomeration (ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly, & Orange Cassidy)

versus

The Learning Tree (Big Bill, Bryan Keith, & Chris Jericho)

 

 

The battles between The Conglomeration and The Learning Tree have been escalating for weeks now, reaching a peak when Orange Cassidy defeated Chris Jericho in their singles match last week, but the fact the 2-Time International Champion used a roll of quarter with his Orange Punch served to fuel the fire rather than bring an end to the rivalry. It didn’t matter that Jericho brought the roll into the match in the first place, all that mattered was Jericho lost again, and he’s not about just take a loss without retaliating.

That’s brought us to this Trios match pitting the two units against one another, and fans in New York tonight will get to experience it before the rest of the world sees it on COLLISION this Saturday night! Will this match bring an end to the hostilities between The Conglomeration and The Learning Tree, or is this just another battle in their larger war?

ELIMINATOR MATCH…

AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada versus ROH World Tag Champion Sammy Guevara

 

 

“The Spanish God” Sammy Guevara is coming off a hard-fought victory this past Saturday night on COLLISION, a battle where he and Dustin Rhodes retained the ROH World Tag Titles over Undisputed Kingdom in a Bunkhouse Brawl. It was violent and vicious, demonstrative of just how important those tag belts are to the Texas two, but tonight it’s not about those tag belts, it’s about the Continental Championship and Guevara trying to earn his first shot at that title.

Kazuchika Okada is coming off a Four-Way title victory at ALL OUT 2024, but a trios loss last Wednesday night, so will this fight tonight at Arthur Ashe be a redemptive one for “The Rainmaker” or Guevara stepping up towards putting a second championship around his waist? It’s a huge opportunity of Sammy, even if a potential title fight wasn’t on the line any bout against an athlete like Okada is a huge chance, but the Continental Championship implications make it even greater!

3-WAY LUCHA LIBRE…

Dralistico versus The Beast Mortos versus Hologram

 

 

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage month, All Elite Wrestling presents this Lucha Libre 3-Way bout between the most dynamic luchadors in the world today!

The undefeated Hologram has rapidly became a fan favorite since his debut over the Summer while The Beast Mortos, win or lose, has been inflicting pain on every opponent standing across the ring from him!

For Dralistico, tonight will mark his return to AEW competition after ten months away! He hasn’t been seen in AEW since FULL GEAR 2023’s Tag Team Championship Ladder Match, but that doesn’t mean Dralistico has been sitting at home waiting for the call.

In fact, he’s been competing all across Mexico throughout 2024 and is more than ready to get back in the AEW ring and demonstrate why he’s among the best of the best Mexico has to offer!

TNT CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN CHALLENGE…

“The Scapegoat” Jack Perry(c) versus ???

 

 

ALL OUT 2024 was quite disappointing for “The Scapegoat” Jack Perry as he failed to capture the AEW World Championship from Bryan Danielson, but he rebounded strong with a TNT Championship victory over Lio Rush just a few days later, and then another over Christopher Daniels on the September 14th COLLISION.

 

Tonight at Arthur Ashe, he’s putting out the call for another challenger to step up to the plate, and though the fans around the world will have to wait until COLLISION airs on Saturday to find out who answers the Open Challenge, fans at GRAND SLAM 2024 will find out tonight!

 

DYNAMITE: GRAND SLAM 2024 is back at the historic Arthur Ashe Stadium beginning at 8pm ET/7pm CT on TBS, as well as viewable across the globe, and we’ve got one of the most stacked cards of AEW television yet! AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks put their titles on the line against AEW International Champion Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher, FTW Champion HOOK faces the challenge of Roderick Strong, AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May defends against Yuka Sakazaki, and Darby Allin puts his hard-earned AEW World Title opportunity on the line against Jon Moxley! Of course, there is the hope that AEW Medical will clear AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson to compete against Nigel McGuinness for the first time in fifteen years, but we may not know that answer until showtime!

 

Before the night gets underway, drop by AEW’s official YouTube channel to watch highlights from recent episodes of DYNAMITE, COLLISION, and RAMPAGE, as well as the Timelines dedicated to Nigel McGuinness and record-setting ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, and check out ROH’s Honor Club featuring a collection of the full McGuinness/Danielson rivalry!

Then join us Friday night on TNT for RAMPAGE, Saturday night for COLLISION on TNT where The Learning Tree and The Conglomeration square off, and then we celebrate DYNAMITE’s 5th Anniversary in Pittsburgh with an AEW International Championship bout between Will Ospreay and Ricochet plus Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D in action!
