AEW is going all out for the May 13 episode of Dynamite, as it will build towards the Double or Nothing pay-per-view. That’s why the company has booked a memorable lineup with big matches to keep fans engaged from start to finish.
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin (c) vs. Konosuke Takeshita
Darby Allin will put the AEW World Championship on the line against Konosuke Takeshita in one of the biggest matches announced for this week’s Dynamite. Takeshita was inserted into the title match after Don Callis announced that he would replace Kazuchika Okada, giving Darby another major test during his run as champion. So we’ll have to see whether he can survive Takeshita once and for all.
Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Orange Cassidy & The Young Bucks vs. FTR, Tommaso Ciampa & The Dogs
A massive 10-man tag team match will bring several rivalries together on Dynamite. Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Orange Cassidy, and The Young Bucks will team up against FTR, Tommaso Ciampa, and The Dogs. Considering all the storylines intertwined in this match, fans can expect a solid bout.
MJF Appears With a Major Decision to Make
MJF is scheduled to appear on Dynamite, and all eyes will be on whether he accepts Darby Allin’s challenge. The expectation is that MJF will announce whether he is willing to risk his hair in exchange for a shot at Darby’s AEW World Championship at Double or Nothing. So it remains to be seen what the Salt of the Earth will do in the end.
Other Matches and Segments
AEW will reveal the men’s and women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament brackets on this week’s Dynamite. Kevin Knight will also hold a TNT Championship open challenge.
