First two matches announced for next AEW Dynamite
The AEW Continental Classic will continue on next Wednesday’s Dynamite with a key match in the Blue League between Death Riders teammates.
Announced at the conclusion of Wednesday’s tournament kickoff, Jon Moxley will take on Claudio Castagnoli. Both men picked up victories and their first three points in the tournament Wednesday by virtue of their wins over Mascara Dorada and Orange Cassidy, respectively.
It will be their first singles match since 2017 when they were both in WWE.

The show will also feature a semifinal bout in the inaugural AEW Women’s World Tag Team title tournament as Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa battle Marina Shafir & Megan Bayne in a hardcore holiday death match.
The reason for the stipulation was Storm and Shirakawa earned the right to select one after winning a four-way at last Saturday’s Full Gear.
The winners will move on to face Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron in the finals at a date/location yet to be announced.
