AEW Dynamite Preview 05062026

AEW Dynamite takes place tonight from the North Charleston Coliseum in South Carolina. Tonight’s episode is a special combined Dynamite and Collision, a three hour block of programming instead of Collision airing in full in its traditional Saturday night slot.

The main event will see AEW Champion Darby Allin defend his title against TNT Champion Kevin Knight, with the winner likely going on to face MJF at the Double or Nothing PPV in just a few weeks.

Dax Harwood will also be taking on Orange Cassidy in a Double Jeopardy match. If Orange wins, then he can pick a partner from The Conglomeration for a future AEW Tag Team Title shot. If Harwood wins, he and Cash Wheeler will team with Tommaso Ciampa in for future AEW Trios Title match against The Conglomeration.
