Khan also said that more NJPW talent, including those who haven't appeared yet, will be present on Dynamite.

"It's going to start the IWGP Champion Jay White coming in tonight and we're going to find out who he is going to wrestle. We're going to announce more matches tonight on Dynamite for this big event," he said. "Sometimes, if you open your mind, just checking out these different wrestlers, you're going to see there are so many top stars there, whether they are from Japan or other countries. Just a lot of great wrestling stars and wrestlers in New Japan. For us going forward, we're going to have new talent coming into AEW, too. There's been a lot of challenges in planning and injuries on our side, also logistics. Some of the top stars in new Japan have not been here yet. Tonight on Dynamite, you will see more wrestlers and more involvement from New Japan than we've seen so far. We'll see more of them and some of the stars we haven't seen yet."
