All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: AEW Dynamite 8/31 and Rampage 9/2

August 31, 2022 1:23 PM - Season 3, Episode 48

It's the final show(s) before ALL OUT, and all the pieces are coming together. Who will Jon Moxley defend his newly-united World Heavyweight Championship against this Sunday? Plus, Omega vs. Ospreay rematch years in the making!

The announced card for tonight:

-- New champ Jon Moxley speaks, and definitely won't get interrupted by someone looking for a rematch ::winkemoji::
-- The JAS's Jake Hager vs. "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson
-- Women's Tag Team match: Dr. Britt Baker, DMD & Jamie Hayter vs. Toni Storm & Hikaru Shida
-- AEW World Trios Championship Dynamite Semi-Final: Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks vs. United Empire (Will Ospreay, Kyle Fletcher, and Mark Davis)

Hot damn do I wish I could watch this live, but instead I've tickets to a They Might Be Giants concert which has been rescheduled from 2020, so I'm torn between my nerd-loves.

99% sure that the Elite will beat United Empire and tease a Omega/Ospreay single match for down the line (i.e. whenever NJPW wants to play ball again), 80% sure CM Punk will interrupt Moxley to demand a rematch with some kind of stipulation -- I Quit? Last Man Standing? maybe a Lights Out Unsanctioned match? -- but my real question mark is this women's tag match in preparation for Sunday's 4-way for the Women's Championship. I've said before but with Kris Statlander injured, it's time for Jamie Hayter to be elevated into the hoss tweener role and let Baker do some reconfiguring.
