Welcome to this week's preview of AEW Dynamite. This is the Night Two of the Fyter Fest edition, and the show will emanate from the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas.
Last week, the company produced an eventful show that featured several high-quality matches, including the first-time-ever Coffin match between Darby Allin and Ethan Page. Tony Khan will be looking to provide the same exhilarating experience this time around as well.
Ahead of the show, multiple title defenses and beef settling feuds have already been lined up.
That said, let's take a look at what to expect from this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.
#5 Jon Moxley defends his IWGP US Heavyweight Championship against Lance Archer on AEW Dynamite
Jon Moxley will defend his IWGP US Heavyweight Championship against Lance Archer in a Texas Deathmatch. It will be a rematch from last year when both men fought for the title under the same stipulation at Wrestle Kingdom 14.
Moxley defeated Archer convincingly to capture his first IWGP US Heavyweight Championship. Since then, The Death Rider hasn't looked back and went on to hold the title for more than 560 days, which is the longest in history. Although the company confirmed their match only last week, there's a long history between these two men in AEW.
Their battle in Japan wasn't the first time Jon Moxley halted the momentum of Lance Archer. The Murderhawk Monster won the Casino Battle Royale in September last year to earn an opportunity to challenge for Moxley's AEW World Championship.
Both men left no stone unturned in destroying each other in a no disqualification match. But it was Moxley who emerged victoriously.
Jon Moxley has become the biggest obstacle in Lance Archer's AEW career. For the latter, it is not just about the title but also vengeance. With a Texas Deathmatch booked this time around as well, fans can expect some gruesome spots from these men.
The match has a unique element attached to it, as one cannot win until there is a pinfall or submission. After that, the referee starts a ten count, quite similar to WWE's version of the Last Man Standing match.
If the opponent can get back on his feet, then the bout will continue. But if he fails, then the wrestler who pinned or submitted him wins the match.
The rules of the match itself will raise the excitement among fans in attendance. It remains to be seen who will get the last laugh with the IWGP US Heavyweight Championship around the waist.
#4 Dr. Britt Baker defends her AEW Women's Championship against Nyla Rose
Dr. Britt Baker will put her AEW Women's Championship on the line against Nyla Rose.
This will be her first title defense since winning it from Hikaru Shida at this year's Double or Nothing event. The company has done a commendable job in building up the feud. It all kickstarted when Rose ruined Baker's championship celebration by flipping off hamburgers and the rest of the food on the table.
The company then booked a tag team match featuring Britt Baker and Rebel against Nyla Rose and Vickie Guerrero.
The bout was a one-sided affair for the AEW's resident dentist. However, the aftermath saw The Native Beast delivering two vicious Beast Bombs, one inside the ring and the other one outside on the table.
Nyla Rose has been portrayed as a threat to Baker's title reign. As a matter of fact, she has even scored a victory against her in the past.
However, we don't expect Dr. Britt Baker to lose her title as soon as this week. She is perhaps the company's brightest choice to carry the women's championship right now, given her immense contribution to the division. Regardless of the predictable outcome, fans can expect Nyla Rose to push Baker to her limit.
#3 Darby Allin faces Wheeler Yuta on AEW Dynamite
The upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite will feature a singles match between Darby Allin and Wheeler Yuta. The former TNT Champion will be coming off a hard-fought victory against Ethan Page in the first-ever Coffin match.
Pitting babyfaces against each other is an interesting booking decision from the company. One may wonder about the possible reason behind this development, considering both men have no history against each other and it will be their first-ever meeting.
It is unlikely that the company will smoothly book this match without any added spice. Moreover, there are no pros and cons of this matchup until we get a third party to show up after the bout.
Given the embarrassment Ethan Page suffered last week, the company could have Men of the Year appear after the outcome and create chaos, potentially attacking Darby Allin and even Sting.
This is mere speculation at the moment. Fans may also get to see an uninterrupted high-flying contest between Allin and Yuta. The latter is a rising star in AEW, and having him go up against Darby Allin will elevate his status in the company.
#2 Frankie Kazarian battles Doc Gallows on AEW Dynamite
AEW star Frankie Kazarian will collide with one-half of the IMPACT World Tag Team Champions, Doc Gallows. The match between the two became inevitable when Gallows assaulted Kazarain during this week's episode of AEW Dark: Elevation.
Frankie Kazarian defeated an enhancement talent, Baron Black, on the show. After the match, Brandon Cutler ran down to the ring to catch Kazarian with cold spray. However, Cutler accidentally dropped his spray bottles while entering the ring, which allowed Frankie Kazarian to attack him viciously.
Soon after, Doc Gallows came out of nowhere and delivered a Double Arm Choke Slam to Kazarian in the ring.
The Elite Hunter will be looking to seek revenge from the IMPACT Wrestling star. This will be a great opportunity for Kazarian to cement his place as a singles star in the company.
He has previously interjected himself in matches where The Young Bucks have tried to sneak out a cheap victory over their opponents.
Given that Kazarian is a lone-wolf in this storyline, Gallows could stun everyone by pinning him with some assistance from Karl Anderson or even The Young Bucks.
#1 Chris Jericho battles Shawn Spears on AEW Dynamite
Chris Jericho will face Shawn Spears in a singles match on Night Two of the Fyter Fest edition of AEW Dynamite. This will be the first chapter of the Labors of Jericho, which The Demo God needs to overcome step by step to get a match with the leader of The Pinnacle, MJF.
The bout has an extra stipulation in favor of Shawn Spears as he will be allowed to use chairs in the match. Chris Jericho, often considered the mastermind of throwing away these types of stipulations to his opponents, will find himself in a drowning situation this time around.
Jericho will most likely take some gruesome chair shots in the match. But there's no way he will be losing this match. The Demo God has overcome even more dreadful battles in his career. One can expect him to do the same in the Fyter Fest edition.
However, AEW star MJF will most likely ruin his night by confronting him after the match or even brutally assaulting him. The Salt of the Earth could even announce Jericho's next opponent. Regardless of what happens, the five Labors of Jericho saga have brought an extra layer of hype to the storyline between Chris Jericho and MJF.
