Tonight, Darby Allin defends his AEW Men’s World Championship against Konosuke Takeshita! Will the young reign of the young champ survive the challenge of quite possibly the best wrestler going today? And if it does, will MJF finally agree to put his hair on the line for a shot at Double or Nothing? Meanwhile, Swerve says he’s been banned from TV. Will he try to find a way around it?
Dynamite opens with a clip from earlier today. Renee asks MJF about the challenge from Darby. MJF refuses to talk about it, then walks past several bald men backstage. The last person he runs into is Ricochet, who says MJF will look great, just not as good as him.
