AEW Dynamite Preview (11/6/24): Fight Without Honor Headlines Stacked Manchester Card

One Big Thing

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite features a historic Fight Without Honor six-man tag team match, marking the first time this ROH stipulation appears on AEW television. The Learning Tree (ROH Champion Chris Jericho, Big Bill, and Bryan Keith) face The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly, and Tomohiro Ishii) in what promises to be a brutal affair.

Why It Matters

• The Fight Without Honor stipulation has a rich 22-year history in ROH, with only 24 matches under this ruleset
• This marks the first time this match type appears on AEW programming
• The personal rivalry between Jericho and Briscoe escalates beyond the ROH World Championship
