Rob Van Dam vs Jack Perry
Last week, Rob Van Dam surprised everyone by appearing on the 200th episode of Dynamite. Jerry Lyn introduced him as his friend from ECW as he could not be cleared to wrestle again. RVD came and confronted Jack Perry and forced him to retreat. Later, he challenged Perry for the FTW Title match and also stated that he would retire the title after winning it. Will it be the end of Jack Perry’s title reign and the title itself?

The Young Bucks vs The Hardys
Last week on Rampage, The Young Bucks stated in a backstage segment that they would now want to focus on the tag team titles. The Hardys came and challenged them to a tag team match. The Young Bucks mocked them before accepting their challenge. They already had a match at AEW Double or Nothing 2022 where The Hardys won the match. Will the same thing happen again? The Young Bucks will also have to answer to FTR’s challenge for All In.
Hikaru Shida vs Anna Jay
Last week, Hikaru Shida won the AEW Women’s Title by defeating Toni Storm. Now, she will make her first title defense against JAS’ Anna Jay. The latter’s debut AEW match was also against Hikaru Shida, and now she is ready to face her very first opponent again in a title match. Will Anna Jay end Shida’s title reign in just seven days?

Adam Cole & MJF Speak
Last week on Dynamite, MJF revealed the main event of AEW All In. MJF would defend the AEW World Title against Adam Cole in the headliner bout in London. These two became fan favorites as a tag team, and now they are ready to put their friendship aside for the biggest prize in AEW. So, what will they have to say?
JAS Mandatory Meeting
Jericho Appreciation Society has called for a meeting to discuss Chris Jericho pondering a partnership with Don Callis. Last week, Jericho teamed up with Konosuke Takeshita to beat JAS’ Daniel Garcia and Sammy Guevara, where the ending involved Jericho’s bat being involved. JAS members are miffed with Jericho for his selfish behavior. Will Jericho stay in JAS or go with Don Callis?
Blackpool Combat Club vs Lucha Brothers
Last Friday on Rampage, Lucha Brothers stated that they would face the winners of the Parking Lot match between Blackpool Combat Club and Best Friends. Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli of BCC emerged victorious which set up a tag team match against Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero Meido, aka Lucha Brothers.
