The Young Bucks vs The Gunns
The Young Bucks claimed that they are the best brother’s tag team in AEW after defeating The Hardys last week on Dynamite. However, Bullet Club Gold did not like this statement as they think this honor goes to The Gunns. As a result, they challenged the Bucks to face them in a tag team match this Wednesday.
Kenny Omega’s All-In Plan
Kenny Omega will be interviewed by Jim Ross this Wednesday where he will reveal his plans for the AEW All In 2023 PPV event later this month. It was rumored that Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay will have their trilogy match at All-In. Will it be the case? Will Omega challenge Will Ospreay for one last match?
Chris Jericho to Answer Don Callis
Don Callis has been trying to convince Chris Jericho to join his family for weeks now. Last week on Dynamite, the Jericho Appreciation Society got disbanded as all the members turned their back on Jericho due to his selfish behavior. Now, Chris Jericho will reveal his decision on whether he will be joining Don Callis’ family or not.

MJF & Adam Cole to Discuss All-In
MJF & Adam Cole are set to headline AEW All-In for the AEW World Championship match. They will also team up to face Aussie Open for the ROG Tag Team Titles during the pre-show of All-In. Now, these two will appear to discuss the main event of AEW’s upcoming and the biggest PPV event so far.
AEW has some really good matches week after week and Tony Khan has some really good talent signed. There are also a lot of great free agents out there that would be excellent additions to the AEW roster. Unfortunately, Tony Khan doesn’t know how to manage what he has because a lot this great talent that he already has signed is wasted because they are so underutilized. Mr. Khan should really assign someone like Arn Anderson, Billy Gunn, Tully Blanchard or any one of the old hand’s that knows the business. Tony Khan comes from a football family (owners); you can’t run a wrestling company like a football team or vice versa. If you do; you’ll find yourself going the way of the WCW & the XFL.
