The Straight Edge Superstar will be on Dynamite this week!

Welcome to the preview of this week's AEW Dynamite. The NOW Arena in Chicago will host the 100th episode of the company's flagship show this Wednesday.

Tony Khan will be aiming to bring more eyeballs ahead of the highly-anticipated All Out pay-per-view, which takes place on September 5th.

Multiple sit-down interviews and grudge matches have already been lined up for the show. Chicago fans will again be in for a treat as CM Punk is advertised to address his upcoming match.

That said, let's dive into what to expect from this week's episode.


#7 The Elite takes on Jurassic Express and Lucha Brothers on AEW Dynamite

An exciting eight-man tag team match will take place this week featuring The Young Bucks and Good Brothers against Jurassic Express and Lucha Brothers. It will be nothing short of an action-packed contest as every wrestler will lay their entire arsenal on display.

The match was seemingly confirmed during last week's Rampage when Nick and Matt Jackson interjected after the AEW tag team eliminator tournament ended.

Fans will get to see a preview of what the Jackson Brothers and Lucha Brothers can do inside the ring ahead of their steel cage match at All Out. Both teams are looking to gain a momentum-building victory this week.


#6 CM Punk will address his upcoming match at All Out

AEW's blockbuster signee CM Punk will appear on Wednesday night to address his match against Darby Allin at All Out. Both men have yet to come face-to-face ever since The Straight Edge Superstar arrived in AEW.

However, that could change this week if Allin interrupts Punk. Fans might even get to see a verbal altercation between the two men. It shouldn't be a surprise if both of them end up engaging in a mini-brawl to build the hype for AEW's upcoming pay-per-view.


#5 Tay Conti squares off against Penelope Ford on AEW Dynamite

Penelope Ford cost Tay Conti her match against The Bunny during last week's episode of AEW Rampage.

As a result, Conti will be looking to seek retribution from Ford. However, she must watch her back since the latter is seemingly allied with The Bunny. It remains to be seen which women will pick up victory ahead of the Casino Battle Royale at All Out.


#4 MJF and Chris Jericho will have separate sit-down interviews this week

Legendary commentators Tony Schiavone and Jim Ross will interview MJF and Chris Jericho, respectively, this week. The company has dubbed the match between Jericho and Mr. Friedman as 'The Final Fight' for All Out.

Last week, Le Champion announced that he would retire from in-ring action in AEW if he loses against MJF on September 5th. Both men are expected to intensify the feud by mocking each other during their interviews.


#3 Brian Cage to lock horns with Powerhouse Hobbs on AEW Dynamite

Brian Cage's feud with Team Taz will continue this week when he takes on Powerhouse Hobbs in a singles bout. Given the size and strength of these men, fans can expect both to tear the house down.

FTW Champion Ricky Starks will be lurking around ringside to make sure Hobbs picks up the victory. Surprisingly, the company hasn't announced a rematch between Cage and Starks heading into All Out. But given their build-up in recent weeks, an announcement regarding the same could be on the cards this Wednesday night.


#2 FTR takes on Santana & Ortiz on AEW Dynamite

FTR and Proud & Powerful are set to reignite their rivalry. Both teams previously faced each other during the Fight For The Fallen episode, which saw an abrupt end due to Cash Wheeler's unfortunate arm injury.

Now that he has fully recovered, the two teams will face off in a rubber match this week. FTR and Santana & Ortiz will be looking to put on a hellacious battle this time around.


#1 Orange Cassidy takes on Jack Evans on AEW Dynamite

Matt Hardy will be in Jack Evans' corner during the latter's match against Orange Cassidy.

Last week, Cassidy defeated Hardy in a singles match that also saw the former WWE superstar get his face busted open. The rivalry seems far from over, and Jack Evans will now be looking to seek revenge on the veteran's behalf.
