All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: June 12, 2024 Season 5, Ep 37
Dynamite has a lot of heavy lifting to do tonight: not only do they need to compete in the ratings tonight with NBA finals, Tony Khan wants to put up good ratings numbers against NXT headed into TV rights negotiations. So let's do that with two title matches -- both featuring champs vs. luchadors, interestingly -- plus California vs Texas in a TNT qualifier! [more inside]

Elsewhere, Will Ospreay's in action, Serena Deeb shows no fear in the lead-up to facing Toni Storm, and Orange Cassidy's character alignment slowly moves from "shenanigans babyface" to "fear my righteous fury!"

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: May 1, 2024 (& live Rampage) Season 5, Ep 31
Once again sports means that Rampage gets moved around, resulting in another three-hour block of AEW. Dynamite is live tonight from Winnipeg, Manitoba, so Kenny Omega returns in his home town to hopefully provide an update on his health, now that his former Elite friends have attacked Tony Khan and effectively seized control of the company. We’ll also find out who will challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship at Double or Nothing, Adam Copeland faces one of the House of Black, and Serena Deeb gets her shot at Toni Storm's sycophant Mariah May.

With nearly every title being defended, will the greatest match of the night be Sting and Darby defending their tag belts, Samoa Joe defending against the fire and ice of Hangman Page & Swerve Strickland, or the non-title AEW debut of Will By-God Ospreay?
