It's Wednesday, July 26, 2023, and you know what that means. It's time to go over what to expect from the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite.
This week's episode follows not only AEW Dynamite: Blood & Guts but a loaded Ring of Honor Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view. Orange Cassidy is once again set to defend his AEW International Championship, MJF & Adam Cole will address their upcoming AEW World Tag Team Championship match against FTR on this Saturday's episode of AEW Collision, and much more will go down as some of the top stars in All Elite Wrestling will be an action tonight.
Here's everything you need to know before this week's AEW Dynamite on TBS.
3-Way Tag Team Action
Following the Ring of Honor World Championship match from this past Friday's pay-per-view breaking down into faction warfare. ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli teams with Blackpool Combat Club brother Jon Moxley to go against PAC's Death Triangle stablemates Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix. Also, Best Friends' Trent Beretta & Chuckie T will also be involved as they faced off against the Lucha Brothers in the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship match at Death Before Dishonor this past Friday.
PAC vs. Gravity
In a match that fans have been calling for for years, PAC will go one-on-one with Gravity. Despite the fact that PAC was known in a past life as "The Man That Gravity Forgot," Gravity the Luchador now has the opportunity to make sure that PAC will never forget him.
The Next Chapter In The Rivalry Between Swerve Strickland And Darby Allin
Darby Allin and Swerve Strickland will write yet another chapter of their violent history with one another on the July 26 episode of Dynamite. Strickland made an example of Darby's friend Nick Wayne in the 18-year-old's debut match on July 19. Now, Allin, who has already secured a TNT Championship match for himself at AEW All Out will look to exact a measure of revenge for his protege.
Orange Cassidy Defends The International Gold Once More
Speaking of Darby Allin's friends. Darby called upon his friend, Orange Cassidy, to do him a solid and grant his other friend, AR Fox, a shot at the AEW International Title. Fox is coming off of a wind against Shane Taylor at Ring of Honor Death Before Dishonor, and with Cassidy understandably weakening after every title defense, Fox may be poised to pick up his first championship in AEW.
In addition to all of this, Dr. Britt Baker will take on Taya Valkyrie for the first time ever, and MJF & Adam Cole will come together to address some of the remarks made by FTR on Collision ahead of their championship match this Saturday night.
