Tonight, MJF defends his AEW Men’s World Championship against Kenny Omega, but if Kenny loses, he can never challenge for the championship again! Not just while MJF is still champion, but ever! Will we see the Best Bout Machine rise to the top once again, or will he experience the rest of his career under a glass ceiling? Elsewhere, a Casino Gauntlet determines the challenger for the Women’s World Championship at Redemption!
Dynamite opens with Renee asking Kenny about his match tonight. He says his best work has been when his back is against the wall, in a way it wasn’t in AEW, or even in NJPW. He says the only friend he allowed in the building tonight was Michael Nakazawa, because he needed the guy who stuck with him even then. He mentions how hot it is in the outdoor venue tonight, and asks if MJF has experienced anything like it before. He asks if he’s ready to kill Kenny, and says that, if he does, he’ll shake his hand. But this is not only potentially his last chance to win the championship, it’s also his last chance to main event an All In.
