Welcome to this week's edition of AEW Dynamite preview. The show has been quite consistent for the past two weeks. With Double or Nothing less than two weeks away, the card for the show is likely to shape up this week.

AEW even announced that they will disclose the entire match card for their next pay-per-view. It is certainly going to be a must-see show.

Several title matches and segments have been announced for this week's AEW Dynamite. Let's get into what to expect in this week's episode.


#5 Will Christian Cage out work Sydal on AEW Dynamite?

Tonight on AEW Dynamite, Christian Cage will be wrestling Matt Sydal in a first-time ever match. Both Matt Sydal and Christian Cage worked in WWE before, but never got to face each other.

Christian Cage wrestled Frankie Kazarian about a month ago and it doesn't look like he has lost a step. He's still got it.

Both Matt Sydal and Christian Cage have announced their participation in the upcoming Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing. The winner of Battle Royale will receive a guaranteed future AEW World title shot. So this match will mostly focus on who is going to gain momentum ahead of the battle royale.

Matt Sydal's high-flying ability and Christian Cage's gifted technique will surely make this match a highlight of the show.

While Sydal will have his time to shine in AEW, for now Christian Cage should walk out victorious. It would be quite shocking if Sydal emerges as the winner since AEW is high on pushing Christian Cage.

Captain Charisma is odds-on-favorite to win this year's Casino Battle Royale and will challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW world title somewhere down the line. Omega and Christian once had a face-to-face confrontation, but the segment went nowhere.

In AEW, you don't get title matches easily. So Christian Cage will need to eliminate 20 other men in the Casino Battle Royal to become #1 contender for the AEW World title.

#4 The Young Bucks look to end Varsity Blonds' momentum on AEW Dynamite

This will be an exciting contest on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite. The Young Bucks have been the 'workhorses' on Dynamite ever since winning the AEW Tag Team title.

Last week, they not only defeated SCU for the titles but also forced the veterans to split-up. This time around, Nick and Matt Jackson will look to end the momentum of Varsity Blonds in the AEW Tag team division.

The Young Bucks have already made this match personal by mocking Brian Pillman Sr. through a Twitter post. They claimed that Brian Pillman Jr. will never become a Tag Team Champion like his father.

Given the current momentum of the Bucks, they will most likely to retain their titles on tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite.

The Young Bucks must watch their back after the match as Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston will be looking to get their hands on the AEW Tag Team champions.

With Double or Nothing fast approaching, the match between the Young Bucks and Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston could be made official as soon as tonight on AEW Dynamite.

#3 Serena Deeb defends her NWA Women's Championship on AEW Dynamite

The match between Serena Deeb and Red Velvet for the NWA Women's title will be the most intriguing bout on AEW Dynamite. Serena Deeb will be returning to Dynamite programming after a long hiatus. She has been holding the NWA Women's championship for more than 200 days.

Red Velvet, on the other hand, hasn't reached her full potential yet in AEW. However, she has been part of some major feuds since her debut. She teamed up with Cody Rhodes a few months ago to take on Shaquille O'Neal and Jade Cargill in an intergender Tag Team match.

Red Velvet will be looking to make her name in this match-up and revive her career, which has seemingly gone nowhere in AEW since the feud with Cargill and Shaq.

Serena Deeb's experience will be key in her match against Red Velvet. Deeb has been a big player when it comes to defending championships.

Given the momentum Serena Deeb holds with the title right now, a title change would be unfair to her career. So expect Serena Deeb to retain her NWA Women's title.

#2 Sting and Darby Allin will be looking to get revenge on Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky on AEW Dynamite

With AEW Double or Nothing fast approaching, it looks like we are going to see Sting and Darby Allin face Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky in a tag team match.

Last week on AEW Dynamite, Darby Allin lost his TNT Championship to Miro meaning he may challenge for the TNT title soon as well. However, there is a much bigger picture to be considered for Darby Allin and Sting right now.

For weeks, Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky have made post-match assaults on Sting and Darby Allin. But tonight on AEW Dynamite, Sting and Allin will be eagerly waiting to get their hands on Sky and Page.

It is also possible that we may see a war of words between these two teams to build up their match. In the end, it is likely that a tag team match will be announced for Double or Nothing.

AEW will likely make this tag match cinematic or some sort of stipulation based match.

#1 Will the Inner Circle put their future on the line on AEW Dynamite?

Last week on AEW Dynamite, MJF challenged The Inner Circle to a Stadium Stampede match at AEW Double or Nothing. He added that if the Inner Circle loses the match they will have to break-up once and for all.

The rivalry between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle is as personal as it gets. This week, The Pinnacle are scheduled to appear for another segment.

We could see an in-ring brawl should the Inner Circle interrupt them tonight. But in the end, Jericho's faction will have to keep their pride alive by accepting the Stadium Stampede match at Double or Nothing.

Not only that, they will have to win the Stadium Stampede match in order to ensure that they remain together as a group.

We might receive an answer from Chris Jericho tonight on AEW Dynamite. But whatever the outcome may be at Double or Nothing, fans will be delighted to see the two teams put on a spectacular show.
