Will we see a new champion at Winter is Coming?
Will we see a new champion at Winter is Coming?

Welcome to the preview for AEW Dynamite: Winter is Coming. The second edition of AEW's yearly December special is set to be a massive show for the company, if last year is any indication.

Just like last year, this year's Winter is Coming will see the AEW title up for grabs. Kenny Omega began his near-year-long reign at Winter is Coming 2020 after defeating Jon Moxley with a surprising assist from Don Callis. Can we see the title changing hands again when Hangman Page and Bryan Danielson square off?

MJF and a young rising star will face off to determine the third annual winner of the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Wardlow, Hikaru Shida, Matt Sydal, and Serena Deeb will be in separate matches. The biggest question heading into the show will be whether we see new faces in the company.

Last year we saw Sting stunningly debut for Tony Khan's company. The AEW boss has indicated in recent interviews that more people could be showing up soon. Johnny Gargano and Kyle O'Reilly are now free agents, while Bray Wyatt remains an option.

With so much happening, let's jump into the preview for the upcoming AEW Dynamite: Winter is Coming.


Will the AEW World Championship change hands at Winter is Coming?

Bryan Danielson and Hangman Page will lock horns in the biggest match of the night with the AEW World Championship on the line.

This will be the Millennial Cowboy's first title defense, and it's unlikely that he'll get any more formidable opponents throughout his reign. The American Dragon won a title eliminator tournament to become the number one contender and has torn through the entire Dark Order on his way to the match.

It feels unlikely that Page will lose his title so soon. As difficult as it will be for him to wrestle a legend like Danielson, fans expect him to grind out a victory, adding a huge feather to his cap as the company's face. A win for the 'Millenial Cowboy' will also cement him as the top dog in the company as Danielson is undefeated in singles action in AEW.

The Dynamite Diamond Ring winner will be crowned at AEW Winter is Coming

MJF and Dante Martin will collide at AEW Winter is Coming to determine the winner of the Dynamite Diamond Ring. The two men were the final survivors in the battle royale last week after Dante Martin betrayed Ricky Starks and Team Taz.

MJF enjoyed a hero's welcome in Long Island before walking out for the 12-man Battle Royale. The Salt of the Earth is the only person in AEW to win the ring, having won it twice in a row. He defeated Orange Cassidy and Hangman Page in previous years and is the favorite to make it three.

CM Punk is still at odds with MJF, so we could see him getting involved and potentially costing the latter the match. Either way, the match will be a must-watch.


Wardlow will get a rare television match at Winter is Coming

Wardlow has the tools to become a huge star and needs to be showcased more on national television. Considering how their storyline careers started, his comparisons to Batista are valid.

As MJF's right-hand man, Wardlow rarely wrestles a match, but it's curtains for the opponent whenever he does. Squash matches are a great way to build a superstar, but Matt Sydal is no slouch. He's a veteran of the industry and has held gold in WWE. He'll be the perfect foil for Wardlow's power-based offense and will make him look like a million bucks.

Wardlow is likely to win, enhancing his burgeoning image in AEW. But it's unlikely to be a two-minute squash.

Are we going to see new faces at AEW Winter is Coming?

Tony Khan has been anything but subtle when teasing new arrivals in AEW. The CEO is always looking for new talent to enhance an already strong roster.

Interestingly, Kyle O'Reilly and Johnny Gargano are free agents at the moment. Meanwhile, Bobby Fish and Adam Cole have reunited in AEW, which must have caught Kyle's attention.

The idea of the Undisputed Era vs. the Elite in AEW is an intriguing one. Winter is Coming gave us Sting last year, and fans expect some surprises on Wednesday.

We cannot rule out Bray Wyatt either, as he's also a free agent. It must be noted that there are no concrete reports that anyone is showing up. This is pure speculation at this point, but one can be optimistic based on history.


Serena Deeb and Hikaru Shida will settle the scores

Hikaru Shida and Serena Deeb are possibly the top two women in AEW. Their series of matches over the last few weeks have been stellar.

Serena Deeb returned after a long layoff to spoil the former AEW women's champion's potential 50th win in AEW. Hikaru Shida got her revenge in the AEW TBS Championship Tournament by defeating the former WWE star.

At Winter is Coming, we get to see their rubber match, and if the first two matches are any indication, we're in for a treat. This is the most unpredictable match on the card, and either woman can come out on top.
