AEW Dynamite Preview & Predictions (6/3/26) – Kris Statlander Will Be The Wild Card

Will Ospreay vs. Mark Davis – Owen Hart Semifinals

After Mark Davis defeated Jack Perry in a National Title rematch from Fairway to Hell, he will take a trip down memory lane with his United Empire pal. In order to solidify the Death Riders storyline, Will Ospreay must win, especially after gaining respect from Jon Moxley and PAC due to being the one to make his opponent tap out in their trios victory against the Rascalz.

Despite Kenny Omega’s amicable warning to Ospreay, it looks like his training with Death Riders is paying off and turning him into a more lethal assassin.

On the other side of the bracket, Brody King defeated Claudio Castagnoli of the Death Riders to advance to the semifinals. He will battle Swerve Strickland in the semifinals next week on AEW Dynamite.

Ospreay will either take down Brody King in the finals for eliminating his Death Riders ally from the tournament or redeem himself in an AEW Forbidden Door 2024 rematch against Swerve Strickland, with whom Ospreay went to a 30-minute draw in 2025 and even teamed with against Young Bucks at All In last year. 

Prediction: Will Ospreay

Kevin Knight (c) vs. Speedball Mike Bailey – TNT Title Match

After Kevin Knight’s jaw-dropping heel turn in the finale of AEW Double or Nothing 2026, Speedball Mike Bailey decided to talk some sense into him since he is his tag partner in a tag team known as JetSpeed. Speedball wanted Knight to apologize for Frog Splashing Darby Allin while he was on a stretcher after his brutal World Title match against MJF. Knight refused to apologize and attacked his best friend with no remorse.

Clearly, this garnered some heel heat for Knight in his nascent singles run that no longer needs this team.

After winning the vacated TNT Title in a 10-man Casino Gauntlet at AEW Dynasty, Knight focused on his own self-interests without any further consideration of his tag team with Speedball. Now, they can finally settle this tension with a title match.

Knight will retain to solidify his heel turn, as he still has a title match lingering with Darby Allin in the future. Knight still has to explain his actions, and Darby Allin could very well seek a consolation prize and target Knight’s TNT Title for revenge. Speedball will be Marty Jannetty-ied.

Prediction: Kevin Knight
