The wrestling world turns its attention to El Paso tonight as AEW Dynamite broadcasts live from the El Paso County Coliseum at 8 PM ET on TBS and Max. Fresh off the spectacular Double or Nothing event in Glendale, tonight’s show promises to accelerate the momentum toward AEW All In: Texas with championship implications and explosive matchups that could reshape the entire landscape.
Champions Collide: Mercedes Moné and Toni Storm Set for Epic Showdown
Two queens of the squared circle will share the same ring tonight as TBS Champion Mercedes Moné comes face-to-face with AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm. Both women are riding high after their dominant performances at Double or Nothing, where they proved why they sit atop the women’s division.
Moné’s victory over Jamie Hayter in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament final was nothing short of spectacular, showcasing the technical excellence that made her a global superstar. Meanwhile, Storm successfully defended her world title against Mina Shirakawa, maintaining her reign with the devastating Storm Zero.
This isn’t just a casual meet-and-greet between champions. Their confrontation tonight will lay the groundwork for what promises to be an absolute barnburner at AEW All In: Texas on July 12. When two competitors of this caliber share the spotlight, fireworks are guaranteed.
The Hangman Rides Again: Adam Page Ready to Address His Championship Destiny
“Hangman” Adam Page stands on the precipice of wrestling immortality after capturing the Owen Hart Cup Tournament at Double or Nothing. His victory over Will Ospreay in the tournament final wasn’t just a win – it was a statement that the former AEW World Champion is ready to reclaim his throne.
Page’s journey back to championship contention has been anything but smooth over the past two years. Tonight, the determined cowboy will address the AEW faithful directly, sharing his mindset as he prepares for his monumental title opportunity against Jon Moxley at All In: Texas.
The wrestling world knows that when Hangman has something to say, it’s worth listening to. His words tonight could provide crucial insight into his mental state heading into the biggest match of his recent career.
International Title Hunt: Alexander vs. King in Make-or-Break Qualifier
The pursuit of AEW International Championship glory takes center stage with a crucial qualifying bout between Josh Alexander and Brody King. This isn’t their first rodeo – these two powerhouses battled to a time-limit draw earlier this month, leaving unfinished business on the table.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. Tonight’s winner advances to a four-way elimination match at AEW Fyter Fest on June 4 in Denver, where they’ll face Kenny Omega and two additional competitors determined on Saturday’s Collision. Those spots will be filled through matches featuring Claudio Castagnoli versus Komander and Máscara Dorada against Hechicero.
Alexander brings his renowned tactical brilliance and never-say-die attitude, while King counters with raw power and an intimidating presence. Their contrasting styles promise a hard-hitting encounter that will test both men’s championship mettle.
No Rules, No Limits: Women’s Tag Team Warfare Reaches New Heights
The bitter rivalry between Anna Jay & Harley Cameron and Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford explodes under No Disqualification rules tonight. Their previous encounter during the Double or Nothing Buy In pre-show was chaotic enough under normal circumstances, with Jay and Cameron emerging victorious when Cameron pinned Ford.
Now, with all rules thrown out the window, these four competitors can unleash their full arsenal without fear of disqualification. The chemistry between Jay and Cameron proved decisive in their first meeting, but Bayne and Ford will be looking to even the score in brutal fashion.
When personal animosity meets no-holds-barred action, the result is often career-defining moments. Tonight’s encounter could settle this feud once and for all – or escalate it to even more dangerous territory.
Mixed Trios Mayhem: Anarchy in the Arena Fallout Continues
The aftermath of Double or Nothing’s chaotic Anarchy in the Arena match spills into tonight’s main event picture with a compelling mixed trios contest. Mark Briscoe, Speedball Mike Bailey, and Willow Nightingale unite to face the formidable trio of AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, Gabe Kidd, and Marina Shafir.
Both Briscoe and Kidd made significant impacts during Sunday’s Anarchy match, with Briscoe supporting Swerve Strickland’s faction while Kidd served as the hired gun for the Death Riders and Young Bucks alliance. The growing partnership between Briscoe and Bailey adds an intriguing dynamic, especially with Nightingale’s proven ability to hang with anyone.
Moxley’s presence alone elevates this match to must-see status, but the combination of styles and unresolved tensions from Double or Nothing makes this a potential show-stealer.
TNT Title on the Line: Cole Faces Fletcher’s Championship Challenge
Adam Cole’s reign as TNT Champion faces a serious test tonight when Kyle Fletcher steps up to challenge for the gold. Fletcher earned this opportunity through his impressive performance at Double or Nothing, where he secured victory for the Don Callis Family over Paragon by drilling Kyle O’Reilly with a devastating brainbuster.
The bad blood between these factions intensified when Cole issued the challenge for that trios match on the May 22 Collision, seeking to teach the Don Callis Family a lesson after their repeated interference throughout AEW programming. Fletcher’s victory shifted the momentum dramatically in his favor.
Cole’s championship experience versus Fletcher’s rising star power creates a fascinating dynamic. The Australian’s technical prowess and recent confidence boost make him a legitimate threat to Cole’s title reign.
The Road to Texas Starts Tonight
El Paso becomes the launching pad for what promises to be an unforgettable journey to AEW All In: Texas. With championship confrontations, tournament qualifiers, and personal vendettas all coming to a head, tonight’s Dynamite could reshape multiple storylines heading into the summer’s biggest events. Which moments from tonight will be remembered as the turning point toward July’s spectacular in the Lone Star State?
