Tonight’s special episode of AEW Dynamite is over, and now fans can begin to look ahead, with next week’s episode already having some pretty big matches planned.
Following tonight’s episode, All Elite Wrestling confirmed a handful of matches, with Tony Khan taking to social media to tease a big one in the form of the first-ever #1 contenders tag team gauntlet match. The match will see the Natural Nightmares, The Young Bucks, Best Friends, and FTR all go at it, with the winner earning a shot at the AEW Tag Team Championships at AEW All Out.
Elsewhere on the card, Matt Hardy and Sammy Guevara will go at it in a Tables Match, while MJF and Jon Moxley will sign the contract for their upcoming AEW Championship match at All Out. Instead of airing on Wednesday or Saturday, the next episode of AEW Dynamite will air on Thursday at 8:00 pm ET on TNT.
