We’re set for the go-home edition of AEW Dynamite ahead of AEW All In, and AEW has stacked the card! Aussie Open looks to defend their ROH World Tag Team Championship and their spot on the card against The Hardy’s. We also get to see a fantastic trios match as The Elite takes on AEW Collision staples…pardon me, standouts Juice Robinson and The Gunns of Bullet Club Gold.
Speaking of spectacular matches, Darby Allin teams up with Nick Wayne against his All In opponents Swerve Strickland and AR Fox. Our focus tonight will be on the latest chapter of Team Better Than You, BayBay and the first-time-ever singles match between Jon Moxley and Rey Fenix!
This WEDNESDAY NIGHT, it’s #AEWDynamite #FyterFest!
Don’t miss the LAST #AEWDynamite before #AEWAllIn London, LIVE from Duluth, GA, at 8pm ET/7pm CT on @tbsnetwork!

Building up for the Stadium Stampede
How is this the first time these men have faced off one-on-one? They’ve faced off in tag-team trios, but this is their first-ever singles match against one another. While I would love to focus on how Moxley’s brutality going against Fenix’s otherworldly athleticism will make for a fantastic encounter, I have to hesitate.
Not because I think the match will be lackluster; it’s sure to be a banger. My hesitation to speculate is purely because I’m far too focused on the Stadium Stampede match this Sunday and how this match will be affected by it.
Will the other members of Blackpool Combat Club’s team make their appearance felt by costing Fenix the match? Will Fenix’s temporary alliance with Best Friends and the returning Eddie Kingston somehow lead to his biggest singles win? There are so many possibilities!
The Unexpected Tale of Team Better Than You Bay Bay
The surprising bromance between Adam Cole and MJF has given us some of the most entertaining moments in AEW’s short history. The preparation for their encounter against Aussie Open from last week was comedy gold and continues to show how talented both men are. Given the tease from Adam Cole last week and both men speaking with Renee Paquette individually this week, more tension will surely be teased this week.
Regardless, all involved have done a fantastic job and have made the most of every moment with this program. I personally hope this Sunday won’t be the last time we see these two hit a “Double Clothesline” together, but if it is, I’m excited to see where they go next!
