We are one Dynamite away from AEW's biggest event, Double or Nothing, which is scheduled to take place on May 30th. Fans will be in for a treat this week as AEW will be holding a special edition of Dynamite on Friday night.

Last week's episode of Dynamite was a great show as the company unveiled the entire match card for Double or Nothing.

Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston had quite the night as they not only humiliated the Young Bucks by launching an attack on them, but also stole their shoes to close the show.

AEW has already lined up several big matches and important segments for the go-home Dynamite before Double or Nothing. Let's take a look at 5 things that must happen on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.


#5 Casino Battle Royale participants brawl in the ring on AEW Dynamite

All eyes will be on this year's Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing. The winner of the 21-man Battle Royale will be guaranteed a future AEW World title shot.

The involvement of stars like Christian Cage, Dustin Rhodes, Matt Hardy and Colt Cabana will make this year's Casino Battle Royale a must-watch.

This week on AEW Dynamite, stars like Christian Cage, Dustin Rhodes or even QT Marshall should come out and stake their claim for the future AEW world title shot.

This could lead to several participants coming out to the ring in order to engage in a thrilling brawl. Chaos like this would be gold.

Fans will be delighted to see a glimpse of what could possibly happen during Casino Battle Royale on May 30th. AEW could also be keeping an ace up their sleeves. With a mystery entrant likely to be revealed on the night itself.

So far, Christian Cage is the front runner to win the Casino Battle Royal this year. However, someone from the mystery spot could also prove to be a dark horse.

#4 Orange Cassidy put his hands on Kenny Omega after rejecting his offer on AEW Dynamite

Kenny Omega's reign as AEW world champion is in serious jeopardy as he will have to defend his title against PAC and Orange Cassidy in a triple threat match at Double or Nothing.

Last week on Dynamite, AEW shared backstage footage of Omega and Callis offering Cassidy a proposal to give up his rights to be in the main event of Double or Nothing, due to injury.

In return, he will get a future AEW world title shot once he is cleared. Freshly squeezed quickly shot down the offer. However, Omega told him to reconsider, and make his decision next week.

Currently, there's no such update provided by AEW regarding Cassidy's neck injury. It looks like he is good to go.

This week on AEW Dynamite, Orange Cassidy must reject Omega's offer and make his intentions clear for Double or Nothing.

Kenny Omega should then come out to confront Orange Cassidy. The AEW World Champion would cut a classic heelish promo on Cassidy, claiming to end his career at Double or Nothing.

This could provoke Orange Cassidy to launch an attack on the champion, making him escape from the ring. Having Cassidy standing tall in the ring would give him a lot of momentum ahead of the title match.

#3 The Pinnacle crashes The Inner Circle's celebration on AEW Dynamite

The month-long feud between the Inner Circle and the Pinnacle will finally culminate in a stadium stampede match at AEW Double or Nothing.

The match will be a high-stakes contest, especially for the Inner Circle. If the Inner Circle loses they must break-up forever.

After accepting MJF's proposed stipulation last week, the Inner Circle will hold a celebratory segment this week to mark their greatest moments together. It is highly unlikely that a segment like this will go smoothly.

The Pinnacle should crash The Inner Circle's celebration party this week on AEW Dynamite. This could possibly lead to a brutal beat down from the MJF-led faction.

Doing so would certainly give them revenge from what the Inner Circle did to them weeks ago, by dosing them with Champagne.

Considering Jericho's history with injuries, Double or Nothing may very well be the last time we may see The Inner Circle together. It remains to be seen if the Inner Circle will put away the biggest roadblock in their career at Double or Nothing.

#2 Miro squashes Dante Martin in a TNT title match on AEW Dynamite

Miro's sudden rise to the top of the mountain started after he defeated Darby Allin to win his first TNT championship on AEW Dynamite. Miro will now defend his title against 'The Murder Hawk' Lance Archer at Double or Nothing on May 30th.

Last week on AEW Dynamite, it was announced that Miro will have his first title defense against 20 year old Dante Martin. The match will be a 'placeholder' to prove Miro's dominance in the ring this week.

As unfortunate as it seems for the young Dante Martin, Miro will destroy him to make this a quick match. It is also possible that Miro may continue to assault him even after winning the match.

This could lead to Lance Archer coming out to the ring to save him. A deep staredown between the two men this week seems likely, and would add real hype to their match at Double or Nothing.

The match between Archer and Miro is the most intriguing match on the card and could possibly steal the show.

#1 Anthony Ogogo disrespects the American flag on AEW Dynamite

The match between Cody Rhodes and Anthony Ogogo at AEW Double or Nothing has been dubbed as 'The Great Briton vs The American Dream' by The Guv'nor himself. Both these men have been embroiled in a personal feud for weeks now.

They are scheduled to have a weigh-in on the upcoming go-home episode of AEW Dynamite.

After both men weigh-in this week, Anthony Ogogo should mock the Americans in front of Cody Rhodes. A vengeful Cody Rhodes would then launch an attack on him.

However, Ogogo would destroy Rhodes with vicious punches to his guts. He then picks up the American flag and tears it apart to send a message to Rhodes.

Such action would certainly add more heat on Anthony Ogogo ahead of AEW Double or Nothing. Booking him in such a dominant fashion would make him a credible heel moving forward.

Cody Rhodes could ultimately get his revenge on Anthony Ogogo at Double or Nothing. However, anything could happen. It remains to be seen who will wave his flag on May 30th.
