KUSHIDA will challenge Darby Allin for the TNT title this Wednesday. In addition, Young Bucks will take on Top Flight, Willow Nightingale will face Toni Storm, and Orange Cassidy will face Jay Lethal in an AEW All-Atlantic title match.

Since leaving WWE last year, KUSHIDA has since made his return to New Japan Pro Wrestling. He has also competed for Impact Wrestling, winning a six-way match at Friday’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view event.

Allin made his first title defense on Friday’s Rampage, successfully defending the title against Juice Robinson. He defeated Samoa Joe on Dynamite on January 4 to win the title for a second time.

Young Bucks successfully won their best of seven series on Dynamite this Wednesday, who with Kenny Omega defeated Death Triangle to win the series and the AEW World Trios titles.

The Best Friends made the save for actor Paul Walter Hauser on Friday’s Rampage, who had been attacked by Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, and Sonjay Dutt.

In the main event of Friday’s Rampage, Nightingale and Ruby Soho defeated Anna JAS and Tay Melo in a street fight. Soho won the match, pinning Melo.

Here is the updated lineup for Wednesday’s Dynamite:

  • TNT title: Darby Allin defends against KUSHIDA
  • AEW All-Atlantic title: Orange Cassidy defends against Jay Lethal
  • Willow Nightingale vs. Toni Storm
  • Top Flight vs. The Young Bucks

  • Ricky Starks vs. Jake Hager

Wardlow wins Face of the Revolution ladder match at AEW Revolution

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Wardlow won tonight’s Face of the Revolution ladder match at AEW Revolution, earning a future TNT title match later this month.

The finish of the match had Wardlow fight Ricky Starks on top of the ladder. Starks had his hands on the brass ring, but Wardlow was able to transition into a powerbomb, sending Starks onto another ladder below. Wardlow then grabbed the ring and won the match.

Other participants in the match included Powerhouse Hobbs, Christian Cage, Keith Lee, and Orange Cassidy.

With the victory, Wardlow will get a TNT Championship match on the March 16th episode of AEW Dynamite. He will face the winner of the TNT title match between champion Sammy Guevara and Scorpio Sky that will take place on this coming Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite.

In recent months, tension has been building between MJF and Wardlow, with MJF reminding Wardlow that he works for him, not for AEW. On last week’s Dynamite, MJF told Wardlow that he would let Wardlow keep the TNT title if he won, but also said he didn’t think he’d actually win. After Wardlow told him it was only because he was making sure MJF won his matches, MJF slapped Wardlow and threatened to fire him.
