Dynamite airs tonight (Aug. 9) with a live show from Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. This is the seventh episode of Dynamite during the nine week build towards All In, which takes place on August 27.
The Young Bucks on the Path to Tag Team Greatness
The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson, have their sights set on becoming the greatest tag team of all time in AEW. With their recent long-term contract extension, the Jackson brothers are determined to focus on tag team gold and leave behind the trios division. Tonight, they face off against Matt and Jeff Hardy, who are also aiming to become champions now that Jeff has returned to AEW.
In an interesting turn of events, AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR challenged the Young Bucks to a match at All In London at Wembley Stadium to determine the best tag team of all time. This challenge suggests that the Bucks will likely come out on top in tonight’s match against the Hardys, as they continue their journey to solidify themselves as the best tag team in the history of pro wrestling.
If the Young Bucks emerge victorious tonight, they will have taken a significant step towards achieving their goal. Not only will they become the best brother tag team ever, but they will also earn the opportunity to face FTR for the AEW world tag team titles at All In. The Bucks are just two steps away from cementing their legacy as the greatest tag team of all time.
It remains to be seen if the Young Bucks can overcome the challenge ahead of them and fulfill their ambitions.
Exciting Lineup for Tonight’s Show
Aside from the highly anticipated match between the Young Bucks and the Hardys, tonight’s episode of Dynamite promises to deliver an action-packed lineup.
FTW Champion Jack Perry will defend his title against the legendary Rob Van Dam. Perry’s recent controversial comments about ECW and Jerry Lynn have added fuel to the fire, making this match even more intense. RVD has hinted at potentially retiring the belt if he wins, so Perry must do whatever it takes to retain his gold. Will former champion HOOK make an appearance after the match?
Hikaru Shida, the newly crowned AEW women’s world champion, will defend her title against Anna Jay. Shida’s victory last week on the 200th episode of Dynamite was a historic moment, and she is wasting no time in defending her championship. Will Saraya or Britt Baker step up to challenge Shida for a title match at Wembley Stadium?
The Blackpool Combat Club, consisting of Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, will face off against the Lucha Bros. After their brutal Parking Lot Fight last week, Moxley and Castagnoli have earned this opportunity. Will AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy make his presence known and continue his recent aggressive streak?
The Jericho Appreciation Society has a mandatory meeting tonight, and tensions are running high. Chris Jericho’s potential alliance with Don Callis has caused frustration among group members. Last week, Callis attacked Daniel Garcia, allowing Jericho to secure a victory. Will the rest of the group issue an ultimatum to Jericho regarding the future of
