Welcome to the preview of this week's episode of AEW Dynamite. The show will emanate from Houston, Texas.
With the All Out pay-per-view on the horizon, the company will continue to shape an exciting match card heading into the event. Last week, Dynamite witnessed a slight hit to its viewership as the numbers were under one million. However, the potential arrival of CM Punk would most likely grab more eyeballs for their product.
Nevertheless, Tony Khan will be laser-focused on producing an eventful show this time around.
Ahead of this week's episode, several exciting matches, including Sting's first bout on AEW Dynamite, have already been lined up. Fans could also get to see the final chapter of the long-running rivalry between MJF and Chris Jericho.

Given what's on the table, it would most likely be a pay-per-view worthy show. That said, let's take a look at what to expect from this Wednesday.
#5 Sting and Darby Allin lock horns with 2.0 (Matt Lee and Jeff Parker) on AEW Dynamite
All eyes will be on WCW Icon Sting as he teams up with Darby Allin to take on 2.0 (Matt Lee and Jeff Parker) in a Texas Tornado tag team match.
Much to everyone's surprise, this will be Sting's first match on the TNT network in over two decades. He last wrestled during the final days of WCW when he faced Ric Flair on Monday Nitro in 2001.
It will be an incredible moment for die-hard wrestling fans from back in the day. AEW star Sting has an impressive record in the company alongside Darby Allin as the duo has two victories under their belt.
Although his first match back was cinematic, Sting wrestled his second bout in front of a live audience at AEW Double or Nothing a few months ago.
Those who witnessed his live performance were in for a pleasant surprise as Sting showed no signs of ring rust. The WWE Hall Of Famer not only took huge bumps but also secured the victory for his team.
AEW star Darby Allin is already getting a lot of the spotlight under Sting's watch. Even though the outcome is predictable given the WCW Icon's star power, fans can expect an action-packed contest out of both these teams.
#4 The Young Bucks defend their AEW Tag Team Championships against Jurassic Express
The Young Bucks will put their AEW Tag Team titles on the line against Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus (Jurassic Express). This will be by far the toughest challenge for Matt and Nick Jackson, given Jungle Boy has been having a lot of momentum on his side.
On top of that, Luchasaurus could turn out to be a difference-maker in this match with his size and ability to dismantle opponents. The company pulled off a shocker last week on the debut of AEW Rampage when Christian Cage dethroned Kenny Omega for the IMPACT World Championship.
The trend could continue on AEW Dynamite as the promotion could look to shake up the division ahead of All Out. Regardless of what happens, both teams will be aiming to tear the house down with their performance.
#3 Sammy Guevara squares off against Shawn Spear on AEW Dynamite
After months of trash-talking and backstage brawls, Sammy Guevara and Shawn Spears will finally settle their feud this week.
While it won't be a clash of heavyweights, fans can expect both men to entertain them with their sound in-ring work.
A win for either of the men could place them in line for a future AEW TNT Championship shot. It remains to be seen if The Chairman uses unfair means to pick up the victory or The Spanish God finally gets the last laugh.
Guevara is also expected to make an announcement after the match as well.
#2 Will Kenny Omega request to add implications for his match against Christian Cage at AEW All Out?
In an unexpected turn of events, AEW star Christian Cage defeated Kenny Omega for the IMPACT World Championship at Rampage. The Best Bout Machine must be eyeing vengeance heading into their encounter at All out.
Fans will be eager to find out how the storyline between Cage and Omega unfolds moving forward. Don Callis will surely be looking to knock on the door of management this week to grant Kenny Omega another shot at regaining the IMPACT Wrestling World Title.
The company could build more hype into their match at All Out by making it a 'Winners take all match' next month. This week's episode of AEW Dynamite will be crucial for this feud.
#1 MJF meets Chris Jericho in a unique stipulation match on AEW Dynamite
After overcoming all four labors of Jericho, Chris Jericho will finally get the opportunity to face MJF this week. The match will not only be about retribution but also to prove who is the better man.
Jericho and MJF have been embroiled in an intense rivalry that saw some of the most hellacious matches between the Inner Circle and the Pinnacle.
MJF will be entering the bout as the favorite, given the damage Chris Jericho has taken throughout the Labors Of Jericho. The Demo god suffered the wrath of Nick Gage, Juventud Guerrera, Wardlow, and Shawn Spears in the past few weeks.
One may wonder why the company didn't book this massive rubber match at AEW All Out. Nevertheless, the promotion seems to have other plans for both these men moving forward.
There's no love lost between MJF and Chris Jericho, which is why both men will leave no stone unturned to put each other down for good. As far as the outcome goes, MJF could get the rub from Le Champion and emerge victorious to conclude this feud.
The Pinnacle Leader is believed to be one of the future stars of AEW, and a win over a bonafide legend like Chris Jericho will cement his position in the company as the top heel.
