It's Wednesday, January, 11, 2023, and you know what that means!

It's time to break down tonight's AEW Dynamite on TBS.

Taro Okada Explains Why He Felt Stardom Had To Dismiss Rossy Ogawa

Dynamite hits the west coast with a major grudge match, a high-stakes Ladder Match. Also, tonight's show will feature the latest in Bryan Danielson's World Championship quest, and more.

Here's everything you need to know about tonight's episode.

Hangman Comes Calling For MOX

After being on the shelf for months, Hangman Page is back in action tonight and he will look to exact revenge from the man who took months away from his career, Jon Moxley. Moxley says he is tired of the sympathy Hangman has been getting from the wrestling world and tonight, MOX plans on putting Hangman down permanently.

¡Escalera de la Muerte!

Tonight, the Best of Seven Series between Death Triangle and The Elite comes to an end in death-defying fashion as all six competitors meet in a Ladder Match to determine the Undisputed AEW World Trios Champions. All six men are banged up from the previous six bouts and Kenny Omega recently went to war with Will Ospreay at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17, recapturing the IWGP United States Championship in the process.

It all comes to an end tonight as both teams look to move forward and carry on.

The Jericho Appreciation Society Appears

Fresh off an appearance at PWG's Battle of Los Angeles, Chris Jericho and all of the Jericho Appreciation Society will appear on tonight's show. Coming off of losses to the likes of Ricky Starks and Action Andretti, The Wizard and his crew look to get back on track.

JungleHOOK vs. The Firm

HOOK and "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry look to successfully defeat their common enemies, BiGG Bill and Lee Moriarty tonight. JungleHOOK will team for one night only as they look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities of getting their hands raised at the end of this match.

Saraya Is Back In Action Tonight

Saraya, formerly known as Paige, will have her first match on television in several years as she teams with Toni Storm to go against The Killer and The Pillar, Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter. With much of this match being built around mystery, one must wonder if all of the cards are truly on the table for tonight's match or if there will be more uncovered tonight. In any case, Saraya continues her climb back to the top.

Danielson vs. Takeshita

Bryan Danielson must win every match between now and February 8 in order to make sure he faces MJF for the AEW World Championship at AEW Revolution. Tonight, Danielson's journey puts him in front of Konosuke Takeshita. In what's surely a dream bout, Danielson and Takeshita look to push each other to the limit, as they're both determined to make statements and further their careers.

Here’s the full card announced so far:
