Welcome to this week's preview of AEW Dynamite. The company has finally bid adieu to the Daily's Place era. This week's show will emanate from the James L. Knight Center in Miami and will feature a special Road Rager edition of Dynamite.
Last week, the company produced a breathtaking main event match between MJF and Sammy Guevara. The former eventually won the battle, thanks to timely interference from Shawn Spears and Wardlow. The show brought in 883,000 viewers, a number they haven't seen in over a month.
AEW President Tony Khan will be looking to deliver another exciting edition this time around. Ahead of the show, several high-stakes matches and a crucial segment have already been lined up.

That said, let's take a look at what to expect from this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Chris Jericho and MJF will be in the same ring on AEW Dynamite to decide the stipulation of their match
All eyes will be on Chris Jericho and MJF this week as they will be in the same ring to decide the fate of their future match. As announced last week, the leader of the Pinnacle, MJF, will lay down a few stipulations to which Chris Jericho needs to accept to get a match with him.
Both men have been embroiled in a heated feud for months now. It seems like we're heading towards the rubber match of this storyline.
It all kickstarted with MJF joining hands with the Inner Circle, then forming his own faction later on. The feud has possibly created the biggest heel faction in wrestling right now, the Pinnacle, and the credit also goes to Chris Jericho and his group.
But we'll talk some other day about the pros and cons of this long storyline. For now, the feud which was earlier involving tag matches has now come down to the battle of two leaders of their respective groups.
This is arguably the most eye-catching storyline AEW has produced so far. It's about supremacy and proving who holds the most stable faction in the company.
Meanwhile, it is unknown what stipulations the Salt Of The Earth might have planned for the Demo God this Wednesday. But one thing is for sure it will be a treat for fans to watch these men possibly engaging in a war of words on AEW Dynamite.
#4 Will Hangman Page confront the AEW World Champion Kenny Omega this week?
The company has already planted seeds for a future AEW World title match between Kenny Omega and Hangman Page.
Last week, the Dark Order alone confronted Kenny Omega, teasing that Hangman Page would be next in line for the AEW World title opportunity. But The Cleaner mocked the Anxious Millennial Cowboy, stating that the man doesn't even believe in himself to be the top guy in the company.
AEW should be given all the credit for excellently nurturing this storyline. If we turn back the clock, Hangman Page was once part of the Elite group. He even became the inaugural AEW Tag Team Champion alongside Kenny Omega. However, the Young Bucks kicked Hangman Page out of the Elite faction.
Much to everyone's surprise, neither man has crossed paths ever since. This is a ready-made storyline, and all the company needs to do is pull the trigger at the right time.
The Road Rager edition could be the perfect time and place to do it. Hangman Page confronting Kenny Omega this week would be a treat for fans in attendance. Imagine both men taking shots at each other or Page even laying out Kenny Omega in the ring to send a message.
#3 The Young Bucks defend their AEW Tag Team Championships against Eddie Kingston and Penta El Zero Miedo
The Young Bucks will put their AEW Tag Team Championships on the line against Eddie Kingston and Penta El Zero Miedo in a street fight.
Both teams have been engaged in a heated rivalry since the Double or Nothing event. The Young Bucks have gone somewhat too far in this storyline by taking out Rey Fenix, PAC, and Jon Moxley. This prompted Eddie Kingston and Penta El Zero Miedo to form an unlikely alliance to seek revenge.
Last week, the Babyface team handed the Young Bucks their first loss of the year. The victory provided Eddie Kingston and Penta El Zero Miedo with much-needed momentum heading into their title match this week.
Despite that, we don't expect the Jackson brothers to drop their titles as soon as this week. The decision may likely upset many fans, but it is hard to neglect the fact that Nick and Matt Jackson have become the backbone of the tag team division.
It doesn't mean they should stay champions forever, but the time and place could be better, possibly the upcoming pay-per-view AEW All Out, which takes place in September.
Regardless of the predictable outcome, fans can expect both teams to use every possible weapon in their range to put each other down for good.
#2 QT Marshall faces Cody Rhodes in a South Beach Strap match on AEW's Road Rager edition
In the upcoming Road Rager edition of AEW Dynamite, QT Marshall and Cody Rhodes will battle it out in a South Beach Strap match.
This could be the last time both men will square off against each other for a while. Rhodes and Marshall have been feuding with each other for months now. Cody Rhodes has previously scored a victory against QT Marshall on the Blood and Guts edition of AEW Dynamite.
He then went on to defeat Anthony Ogogo last month at the Double or Nothing event. The fact is, fans may now be tired of seeing Cody Rhodes going after the Factory members again and again, especially when there's nothing at stake.
Let's be clear, Cody Rhodes is due to take a mini hiatus from the company to spend time with his newborn daughter. On the other hand, QT Marshall doesn't seem likely to have any future feuds at the moment.
It has somewhat become a weird feud where there's no gain for either wrestler at the moment. But both men can still end the feud on a good note by delivering the most memorable battle.
With the Strap Match stipulation, Cody and Marshall will brutally tear each other apart. If you're a hardcore-style wrestling fan, then it will be a must-see match this week.
#1 Andrade El Idolo faces Matt Sydal in a first-time-ever match on AEW Dynamite
AEW's newest acquisition, Andrade El Idolo, will be making his in-ring debut this week as he faces Matt Sydal during the Road Rager edition of AEW Dynamite.
The Mexican star stunned the wrestling world by making an appearance on the June 4th edition of Dynamite. Since then, Andrade has only been part of sit-down interviews and in-ring promos. The former WWE superstar initially stated that he wants both the TNT and AEW World Championships. But in AEW, a wrestler needs to prove his worth by rising through the ranks.
The company did a commendable job of not pushing him to the moon in the beginning. Even though this may seem like a one-off filler feud, Matt Sydal can help Andrade El Idolo showcase his athletic style of wrestling ability in front of the AEW Universe.
Since it will be the Mexican star's debut match, the company will focus on building his momentum. So expect Andrade El Idolo to walk out victorious this week.
Andrade's main roster run in WWE didn't yield much success. But things could change this time around as he holds all the credentials to be a top star in the company.
