This week's AEW Dynamite will have all the fallout from the special episode of AEW: Blood and Guts which took place last week. Several high-stakes matches and crucial segments have already been announced for this week's Dynamite.

The TNT Championship will be on the line, a new #1 contender for the AEW World title will be revealed tonight, SCU could possibly wrestle their last match as a tag team, Cody Rhodes will make an important announcement and much more. AEW's next PPV, Double or Nothing, is scheduled to take place on May 30th. This edition of Dynamite could potentially have important storyline developments and matches that lead into the Double or Nothing PPV.


#5 Who will be Kenny Omega's AEW World title opponent for Double or Nothing?

Last week on Dynamite, Tony Schiavone announced that Orange Cassidy will face PAC in an eliminator match to determine the #1 contender for Kenny Omega's AEW World Title at Double or Nothing.

At AEW Revolution 2020, Orange Cassidy made his singles debut against "The Bastard" PAC. The man in the denim jacket and sunglasses certainly came up short but got the fans behind him through a blockbuster performance that night.

While PAC has the numbers against fan-favorite Orange Cassidy, it's time to even the score this week. Considering the face-off Kenny Omega had with freshly squeezed last week, and the way Omega mocked him while cutting the heelish promo that night, it looks like we are heading towards Kenny Omega vs Orange Cassidy in a typical heel vs face storyline for the AEW World Championship match at Double or Nothing.

Kenny Omega, on the other hand, is a triple champion currently holding the AEW World title, Impact World Championship, and AAA Mega Champion. He opened up the flood gate with these promotions by appearing in their show. Clearly, Kenny Omega is having the best time of his life. He has held the AEW World title for over 160+ days and the way he has been booked it does not seem like any promotion will be taking the title away from him soon.

#4 The Young Bucks looks to end SCU's tag team career on AEW Dynamite

More than one thing will be at stake when the current AEW tag-team champions, the Young Bucks face off against the SCU on AEW Dynamite. Not only will the AEW tag-team titles be on the line, but the SCU's careers as a unit moving forward will also be decided through the outcome of this match. SCU's Christopher Daniels has stated multiple times in the past that if the duo end up losing they will no longer compete as a team in the future.

Matt Jackson recently appeared on BTE to hype up their match, and surprisingly Christopher Daniels also delivered a heartfelt promo talking about their friendship and rivalry with the Young Bucks. The match has the potential to steal the show given the history both teams have with each other. It would be a surprise if we end up seeing SCU as the new Champions.

Given the current momentum the Young Bucks possess, it does not look like they are going to drop their titles anytime soon. They have a current reign of 185+ days and will continue to hold the AEW tag titles.

#3 Jon Moxley defends his IWGP U.S. Championship on AEW Dynamite

The match between AEW's Jon Moxley and Japanese veteran Yuji Nagata has been built around a lot of hype. With the IWGP U.S. Championship on the line, the contest could certainly be the match of the night. This will also be Yuji Nagata's first TNT appearance in nearly 23 years. Fans will be delighted to see the Japanese veteran perform on AEW Dynamite.

This past week on NJPW Strong, Jon Moxley teamed up with Chris Dickinson to take on Yuji Nagata and Ren Narita. Moxley's team won the bout but Nagata had Moxley locked in submission hold after the match to send a bold message. Ahead of their match, both superstars have taken shots at each other. However, we should not expect a title change on this week's AEW Dynamite. As good as Yuji Nagata is, it is well clear that the man is well past his prime. Meanwhile, Jon Moxley has done a great job in keeping with the prestige of the IWGP U.S. Championship for 480 days. So expect the Mox to walk out victorious on this week's AEW Dynamite.

#2 Coronation of The Pinnacle on AEW Dynamite

Perhaps the most intriguing segment on this week's AEW Dynamite will be when The Pinnacle comes to the ring and declares that they are the most dominant faction in AEW history. Last week on a special episode of AEW: Blood and Guts, The Pinnacle defeated The Inner Circle in the first ever Blood and Guts match. MJF was the star of the night, not only making the members of The Inner Circle submit but also pushing their leader Chris Jericho from the top of the cage. The match was the most violent AEW had ever produced.

The Coronation of the Pinnacle on tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite will be the defining moment in MJF's career moving forward. However, it remains to be seen who will step up to face MJF after he put Chris Jericho on the sidelines. Will someone like Sammy Guevara from The Inner Circle will come out to interrupt and challenge MJF to a match at Double or Nothing on May 30th? We have to wait and find out.

#1 Is a TNT title win inevitable for Miro on AEW Dynamite?

Tonight on AEW Dynamite, Miro will receive his first ever shot at a major title since signing up with AEW. Miro was slightly lost on the highly-stacked roster that AEW possesses up until AEW: Blood and Guts episode last week, where he came out to challenge Darby Allin for his TNT Championship. Heading into the match, both superstars have taken a shot at each other via Twitter to hype their match.

Miro will be going into the match with a slight advantage, given the fact Darby Allin and Sting are currently involved in a storyline with Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky for weeks. The latter had already put Sting on the sidelines and last week they pushed the TNT champion down some concrete stairs. It is possible that the duo of Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky will again show up during the key moments of the match to cause a distraction for Miro to win the title. Darby Allin and Sting could then focus on Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky ahead of AEW Double or Nothing on May 30th.
