AEW Dynamite (March 9, 2022) - 5 biggest news stories - Former WWE Champion makes jaw-dropping debut, Chris Jericho turns heel

Hot on the heels of one of the most stellar pay-per-views of all time, AEW returned with their next installment of Dynamite. Revolution received a ton of praise on Sunday night and left fans talking about it days after its conclusion.

Despite the adoration, the show must continue to roll on, with Dynamite being presented this week in Estero, Florida. Tony Khan appeared on Busted Open Radio earlier in the day to hype up the event and discussed what to expect from the broadcast as the road to Double or Nothing in May began.

On that note, let's take a look at the five biggest news stories coming out of this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.
