It's Wednesday you know what that means.
All Elite Wrestling celebrates Star Wars Day the only way they know how, with an action-packed episode of Dynamite. With a much-anticipated debut, the singles debut of Jeff Hardy in AEW as part of the Owen, and more, here's everything you need to know before tonight's episode of Dynamite.
Send For The Virtuosa
Deonna Purrazzo is finally making her AEW debut and she will look to make it clear that she is the Undisputed Ring of Honor Women's Champion in a match against Mercedes Martinez. Purrazzo, an IMPACT contracted wrestler, recently told Sean Ross Sapp that this is the best case scenario for her. Learn more here.
Wardlow vs. Mystery 7-Foot Competitor
Maxwell Jacob Friedman is not done trying to torture Wardlow. Last week it was Lance Archer, this week it's a mystery competitor and the only thing we know about him is he's 7 ft tall and you can't teach that.
The Blackpool Combat Club Comes For The AFO
Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, and Wheeler Yuta, under the guidance of William Regal, have been on a tear through AEW and Ring of Honor. This week, they will be confronted by three members of the Andrade Family Office, The Butcher, The Blade, and Angelico. With Double or Nothing on the horizon, The BCC is likely to turn it up a notch inside the squared circle tonight.
Varsity Blonds Call Out The House Of Black
It has been months since Malakai Black needlessly attacked Julia Hart and sprayed her in the face with poisonous mist. Now, Brian Pillman Jr. and Griff Garrison are ready to call out the deadly trio who is also currently dealing with Death Triangle
Chris Jericho Faces A Former Inner Circle Member
The Inner Circle was once as close as brothers and now, several of its members are on opposing sides of a war between sports entertainment and professional wrestling. Tonight, Chris Jericho will wrestle Santana one on one for the first time ever. Will Chris Jericho be able to silence his former stablemate or will Santana officially step out of the shadows and prove that he is on the level of The Influencer?
The Owen Qualifiers Continue
Tonight, Jeff Hardy will make his singles debut in AEW against Bobby Fish in the first of two men's Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament qualifiers. Bobby and Jeff are two tag team specialist these days but the former WWE champion still has a lot of gas left in the tank as far as singles competition is concerned and is looking to prove himself tonight.
Secondly, Dante Martin faces Rey Fenix in a match that Tony Khan has proclaimed a dream match. I went hard was once known for his high-flying abilities and these two wrestlers will provide an example of the evolution of that style tonight.
