MJF return, Darby Allin vs. Rush, Women’s title match added to AEW Dynamite
The lineup for this Wednesday’s Dynamite just got more loaded.
During Collision Slam Dunk Saturday, it was announced that Rush will take on Darby Allin this Wednesday in St. Paul, Minnesota. Allin defeated Gabe Kidd in a coffin match this on the last episode of Dynamite and after the match declared that he wanted to challenge for the AEW World Championship. Rush and the rest of LFI recently returned to action and won a trios squash match during Saturday’s show.
The Women’s title will be on the line when Thekla defends against Mina Shirakawa. In a backstage interview, Thekla denied having any involvement in the attack that took out Storm on Wednesday, instead suggesting that Storm faked the attack so she didn’t have to face Thekla for the title.
Storm was originally set to face Marina Shafir in a no holds barred match this past Wednesday, but was found laid out just minutes before the show went on the air. Shirakawa replaced Storm and ended up defeating Shafir in a shock win.
It was also announced that MJF would be make his return to television. He was last seen at Revolution retaining the AEW World title in a Texas Death match, defeating Hangman Page. As a result, Page can never challenge for the title again.
