Welcome to this week's preview of AEW Dynamite. For the second time in the company's history, Dynamite will air on Saturday night's slot. It will also be the last episode before the flagship show moves back to Wednesday.
Last week, the company produced a jam-packed action show. Fans witnessed a lot of exciting matches and the build-up to the current storylines.
The company will continue to follow the same trend this week as well. Ahead of the upcoming show, multiple matches have been announced, including the AEW World Championship bout.
Let's take a look at what to expect from this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.
#5 Kenny Omega defends his AEW World Title against Jungle Boy
This will be by far the most intriguing match on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite. The bout is suitable to be dubbed a classic heel vs. babyface contest.
Both men had a great night at AEW Double or Nothing last month. Kenny Omega overcame all odds to retain his title against Pac and Orange Cassidy. Meanwhile, Jungle Boy won the 21-men Casino Battle Royale by eliminating Christian Cage.
With the given time, the company did a great job building the storyline. Both men have been involved in backstage and in-ring brawls over the last couple of weeks. Despite Jungle Boy gaining equal momentum with The Cleaner during their rivalry, there is no way that the challenger will have the last laugh.
As great as Kenny Omega's title reign has been so far, there's no denying that he required assistance on every possible occasion to retain the gold. Ironically, The Cleaner claims there's a conspiracy against him, but he uses whatever means necessary to stay on the top.
This time it should be no different as The Young Bucks, The Good Brothers, or even Don Callis will be lurking around to influence the outcome.
Regardless of the conclusion, both men will tear the house down, considering the plethora of maneuvers they have in their arsenal.
#4 What will be the next chapter in Darby Allin's storyline with Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky on AEW Dynamite?
In the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite, fans can expect Darby Allin to continue his storyline with Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky. The question remains, will the former TNT champion seek help from Sting to even the odds again?
Last week, Page and Sky defeated Allin in a handicap match. The outcome didn't surprise everyone since it was a clear numbers game.
While Sting could have helped Darby Allin, the latter wanted to beat up Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky without receiving any assistance from the WCW Icon.
Now it looks like the former TNT Champion will be requiring services from the WCW legend after all. The company could be planning to settle this feud in another match between the two sides.
This week on AEW Dynamite, we might witness an appearance from Sting. In all likelihood, Page and Sky could launch an assault on Darby Allin, followed by the WCW Icon making his presence felt.
#3 Will Christian Cage issue a challenge to Matt Hardy on AEW Dynamite?
For consecutive weeks, Matt Hardy has gotten the upper hand over Christian Cage on AEW Dynamite, be it a sneak attack during a match or an assault backstage. Hardy has capitalized on every opportunity to put down the former WWE star.
It all started at Double or Nothing last month when Captain Charisma eliminated Matt Hardy from the Casino Battle Royale. Since then, Hardy has made Cage his prime target on Dynamite every week.
The feud became extremely personal when Matt Hardy offered a vast sum of money to Christian Cage, asking the latter to retire from professional wrestling.
Based on the direction of this storyline, a singles match between the two veterans seems inevitable. In the upcoming episode, fans can expect Cage to lay out a challenge for Hardy.
Both men have battled numerous times during their WWE stints, but there will certainly be a different vibe surrounding their clash in AEW. Even though it seems like a filler feud for Christian Cage, fighting Matt Hardy would be a perfect mid-card match for AEW to attract more attention.
#2 Can anyone stop AEW's The Young Bucks?
It seems like AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks, alongside The Good Brothers, have become a group to be reckoned with. Over the past few weeks, the company has consistently held Trios matches pitting members of The Elite against all those who despise them.
Last week, The Good Brothers and Matt Jackson convincingly defeated Penta, Eddie Kingston, and Frankie Kazarian. Much to everyone's surprise, the equation hasn't involved The Young Bucks' tag team titles yet.
With their current momentum, it looks unlikely that there's any duo left that can take out the AEW Tag Team Champions. The Young Bucks have already put stars like Pac, Jon Moxley, Rey Fenix, and Christopher Daniels on the shelf.
Many believe that the tag team division is gradually becoming stale due to a lack of credible challengers for Matt and Nick Jackson. FTR's Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler could be considered as their upcoming opponents. But that would be a heel vs. heel equation, which AEW rarely books.
How would you currently book The Young Bucks on AEW Dynamite?
#1 Powerhouse Hobbs faces Hangman Page on AEW Dynamite
During the upcoming edition of AEW Dynamite, Hangman Page will lock horns with Powerhouse Hobbs, and the outcome of the contest will reflect on the rankings of these men.
Hangman Page has been involved in a heated feud with Team Taz for over a month now. He initially defeated Brian Cage at Double or Nothing, which could have been the culmination of this feud.
However, the company chose to extend the feud by booking a tag team match a couple of weeks ago, which saw Hangman Page and The Dark Order's 10 defeating Brian Cage and Powerhouse Hobbs. Surprisingly, Cage has teased a face turn during this rivalry and refused to seek cheap tactics to get the victory.
The match between Hobbs and Page is going to be a hard-hitting contest. With Brian Cage out of the equation now, the chances of Hobbs winning are pretty slim.
So expect Hangman Page to walk out victorious and end his rivalry with Team Taz as soon as this week.
Page could then move on to challenge for either the TNT or AEW Championship somewhere down the line.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
