Whether it's Jon Moxley's return or Cody Rhodes' free agent status, AEW has been making headlines all over the wrestling world lately.
It is safe to assume that the recent returns of these men drew massive eyeballs, as the flagship show garnered over a million viewers last week. Tony Khan's promotion will look to carry on the momentum into Wednesday night when Dynamite: Beach Break emanates from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
Ahead of this week's show, the company has lined up a few beef-settling matches, which promise to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
But aside from that, Mr. Khan could also be planning to deliver some big swerves. With that said, let's quickly dive into bold predictions for Dynamite.
#5 Bryan Danielson kickstarts new feud with Jon Moxley on AEW Dynamite
Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley had a brief staredown on AEW Rampage last week, which led us to believe the company could be planning a buzzworthy feud between the two men.
Danielson and Mox have spent the majority of their time in WWE, where they crossed paths multiple times. It's worth recalling that the two veterans could have faced each other in the AEW Championship eliminator tournament finals at Full Gear last year if Moxley had not chosen to enter rehab.
With Revolution right around the corner, this seems like the perfect time and place to pull the trigger on this buzzworthy rivalry, starting this week. Danielson can assault Moxley precisely when the latter appears to be in dire need of an opponent on Dynamite.
It would be a completely different vibe to see the two former WWE Champions renew their rivalry under the Tony Khan's umbrella. Danielson's creative genius mind and Moxley's violent nature, wrestling fans would be thrilled to see them convey a meaningful storyline..
#4 MJF asks CM Punk to put his career on the line at AEW Revolution
AEW star CM Punk has overcome every barricade that MJF has put in front of him over the last couple weeks. The first-time-ever match between the two men seems inevitable at this point. However, Friedman has been reluctant to face The Straight Edge Superstar.
While The Pinnacle leader may be running short of henchmen to face Punk, he can now start playing mind games with his on-screen rival this week. Given that Punk is hell-bent on getting a singles bout with Friedman, the latter could ask the veteran to put his career on the line at the upcoming Revolution pay-per-view. The Second City Saint would most likely accept the challenge, which would help this feud pick up steam again.
#3 Sammy Guevara becomes Undisputed TNT Champion; Cody Rhodes turns heel
Cody Rhodes and Sammy Guevara will collide in a ladder match to determine the undisputed TNT Champion on AEW Dynamite this week. The American Nightmare has been on a roll lately and would be the favorite heading into this high-stakes match.
On top of that, Rhodes has defeated Guevara multiple times, meaning that the former WWE Superstar has got his number. Despite all the odds against the rising star, the company could decide to put The Spanish God over Cody Rhodes this week. Sammy Guevara is on the brink of becoming a big star in promotion, and Tony Khan may not want to halt his momentum.
Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes can shock wrestling fans by finally turning heel on Guevara after the match. Although Cody has openly denied turning on fans, it is about time that he brings a change to his character.
#2 Adam Cole suffers his first singles loss on AEW Dynamite
Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy will settle their beef in a Lights Out match on AEW Dynamite: Beach Break this week. The Panama City Playboy has defeated Cassidy numerous times over the last few weeks via singles, mixed, and tag team competitions.
It's worth noting that Cole is still undefeated in the singles division. While the former NXT Champion losing would be a long shot, one shouldn't rule this out either. Since Freshly Squeezed has suffered multiple defeats in this feud, the company may decide to finally put a babyface over a heel to conclude the month-long rivalry once and for all.
Orange Cassidy giving Adam Cole his first singles loss would not only send shockwaves through the AEW universe, but it would also help the star gain well-deserved prominence on the roster.
#1 Santana & Ortiz leaves Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle this week
The Inner Circle will return to action as Chris Jericho teams up with Santana & Ortiz to face Daniel Garcia and 2point0 in a trios match this week. Unfortunately, this might be the last time wrestling fans see Jericho and his stablemates on the same page.
Last week, the Proud & Powerful held Jericho responsible for their failure in the tag team division.
That said, the duo could leave the former WWE Superstar in the middle of their match to allow Garcia, Lee, and Parker to pick up the win. On the brighter side, Jericho can once again embark on a solo run, while Santana and Ortiz can focus on winning gold this year.
What do you make of these predictions? Sound of in the comments section below.
