We are officially on the road to Double or Nothing, AEW's next major pay-per-view which is scheduled to take place on May 30th. Last week's episode of AEW Dynamite was quite spectacular. Considering the quality of segments and high-stakes matches, the show had people's attention till the end.

The highlight of the show was Miro finally unleashing his potential to end Darby Allin's TNT title reign on Dynamite. As shocking as it was, the time and place couldn't have been better to crown Miro as the new TNT champion.

Several exciting matches have been announced ahead of this week's show. Let's take a look at 5 things that must happen on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5 The Young Bucks retain their AEW Tag team titles; Moxley and Kingston assault them after the match

The Young Bucks have been unstoppable since winning the AEW World Tag Team titles. They have never backed down from a challenge to defend their titles. After their big victory over SCU last week, the Young Bucks will once again defend their tag team titles this week against Varsity Blonds.

There is no doubt that the match has the potential to be a show-stealer. Given the momentum Nick and Matt Jackson have right now, it looks unlikely that a title change will happen. Expect the Bucks to retain their titles this week.

However, the Young Bucks shouldn't get much time to celebrate. Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston must take their revenge by assaulting them. For over a month, the Young Bucks have been embroiled in a feud with Moxley and Kingston. The Young Bucks have attacked Moxley and Kingston on several big occasions.

Last week, Moxley and Kingston destroyed the locker room of the AEW tag team champions. Soon after, the Young Bucks made a vignette and challenged Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston to a match at Double or Nothing.

After Moxley and Kingston attack them, they should also accept the Young Bucks' challenge for a match at Double or Nothing.

#4 Christian Cage defeats Matt Sydal in their first-ever encounter on AEW Dynamite

Christian Cage vs Matt Sydal will be the most intriguing match on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite. Interestingly, both Christian and Sydal worked in WWE together without getting to face each other. This will be the first time Christian Cage and Matt Sydal are locking horns in the AEW ring. Both men have already announced their participation in the upcoming Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing on May 30th.

The match is expected to be the highlight of the show. Considering the high-flying ability of Matt Sydal and Christian Cage's gifted technique, the match will be a delight to watch. In the end, it should be Christian Cage walking out victorious after delivering a vicious Killswitch.

A win over Matt Sydal will only solidify his top position in AEW. Moreover, Captain Charisma is a front runner to win the Casino Battle Royal this month. He could be the next #1 contender for Kenny Omega's AEW world title. AEW should push him to the top before he challenges for the AEW world title.

#3 Sting and Darby Allin should intimidate Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky on AEW Dynamite

Now that Darby Allin has lost his AEW TNT championship, he and Sting can shift their focus towards seeking revenge against Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky. The rivalry between the two teams has been boiling for weeks now. Page and Sky have made several post-match attacks on Sting and Darby Allin.

This week on AEW Dynamite, Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky should come out to the ring and brag about how they have made Sting and Allin's lives miserable. On top of that, they are undefeated as a team. Suddenly, the lights should go out. When they come back on, the duo of Sting and Darby Allin should be standing behind them to launch a vicious attack.

AEW shouldn't waste time announcing this mega tag-team match for Double or Nothing. Moreover, AEW must add a no disqualification stipulation to reduce Sting's in-ring work. The match will certainly be a delight to watch considering how fun the last time Sting and Darby wrestled together was.

#2 Lance Archer challenges Miro to a TNT title match at AEW Double or Nothing

Miro finally unleashed his true self last week by becoming the new TNT champion. His win over Darby Allin solidified his top position on AEW Dynamite. Moments after Miro won the TNT Championship, Lance Archer had a staredown with the champ. This seemingly confirmed that Archer is going to be Miro's first title opponent.

This week on AEW Dynamite, Miro should come out and celebrate his title victory. He should also declare himself as the new face of TNT.

Before Miro leaves the ring, Lance Archer should come out and interrupt him. The 'Murderhawk Monster' should announce that he is coming for Miro's TNT championship at Double or Nothing on May 30th.

Miro vs Lance Archer is going to be a clash of two behemoths. Archer recently made a vignette expressing his desire to become TNT Champion. He could be the perfect babyface opponent for Miro's first title defense. Miro's run to the top has just begun, so expect Archer to elevate Miro's heelish character and dominant run with the title.

#1 Chris Jericho agrees to put The Inner Circle's future on the line at AEW Double or Nothing

The feud between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle in AEW is far from over. Last week, Chris Jericho interrupted the coronation of The Pinnacle. On top of that, The Inner Circle embarrassed The Pinnacle by dousing them in Champagne.

MJF then agreed to give the Inner Circle a rematch in a Stadium Stampede match at Double or Nothing. Interestingly, MJF raised the stakes by adding another stipulation: if the Inner Circle loses, they will have to break-up forever.

This week on AEW Dyanmite, Chris Jericho will most likely accept the Stadium Stampede stipulation and put his faction's future on the line at Double or Nothing. There's a high chance that we might even witness a brawl between these two teams this week.

The feud between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle is the hottest thing going in AEW right now. However, Double or Nothing could be the last time The Inner Circle competes as a unit. Considering Jericho's injury, the faction may very well come to an end. The Inner Circle has a poor record in the Stadium Stampede match having lost last year's one to The Elite.
