Darby Allin will defend the TNT Championship on the January 25 episode of AEW Dynamite.

Since he beat Samoa Joe to win the title on the January 4 episode, Allin has defended the gold against Michael Bennett, Juice Robinson, and KUSHIDA. During the January 20 episode of AEW Rampage, he stated that his next target is the House of Black (Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews, Brody King & Julia Hart).

Determined to prove that he could beat the main members, he challenged Matthews to a match on AEW Dynamite. The bout was later confirmed for the show.

Plus, in a rare three-way bout, Britt Baker, Toni Storm, and Ruby Soho will collide on Wednesday. Storm and Saraya turned heel by attacking Willow Nightingale on the January 18 episode, but Soho made the save. Baker and Sorm had been at odds as part of the former champion's feud with Saraya.

Elsewhere on the show, Ethan Page and Matt Hardy will take on JungleHOOK ("Jungle Boy" Jack Perry & HOOK). Hardy accidentally cost Page his match against Perry on Friday's episode of AEW Rampage, and "All Ego" is determined to bounce back with a win on Wednesday.

AEW also confirmed the Therapy Family with The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens), Billy Gunn, and The Gunns (Austin & Colten Gunn) for the show. Additionally, Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara will officially team up to face Action Andretti and Ricky Starks.

The updated card for the January 25 episode of AEW Dynamite is below.
