AEW Dynamite: World Champion’s match; Rampage card & more announced

On
a
rare
occasion,
the
reigning
AEW
World
Heavyweight
Champion
will
be
in
action
next
week
on
Dynamite
as
confirmed
on
last
night’s
episode.

MJF
tried
to
interfere
in
Bryan
Danielson’s
match
against
the
AEW
debutant
Timothy
Thatcher,
attempting
to
stop
Bryan’s
ongoing
streak
and
thereby
stop
him
from
going
to
AEW
Revolution
for
an
Iron
Man
Match
against
MJF.

As
MJF
joined
Thatcher,
he
was
stopped
by
none
other
than
Konosuke
Takeshita,
Bryan’s
opponent
from
last
week.
The
two
brawled
all
the
way
to
the
backstage
area.

After
the
segment,
Renee
Paquette
informed
MJF
that
Tony
Khan
had
booked
him
in
a
match
against
the
Japanese
sensation
in
a
world
title
eliminator
match
next
week
on
Dynamite.

The
upcoming
episode
will
feature
another
world
title
eliminator
match
when
Jamie
Hayter
takes
on
The
Bunny.
Also
confirmed
for
the
show
is
a
tag
team
championship
match.

The
Acclaimed
will
defend
their
World
Tag
Team
Championships
against
The
Gunns.
Despite
the
champions,
Max
Caster
and
Anthony
Bowens
not
approving
the
match,
Billy
Gunn
declared
that
the
tag
titles
will
be
up
for
grabs
on
Dynamite.

Also,
The
Elite
will
put
their
AEW
trios
tag
team
titles
on
the
line
for
the
second
time
since
winning
the
belts
from
PAC
and
The
Lucha
Brothers,
a
few
weeks
ago.
AR
Fox
and
Top
Flight
will
be
the
challengers
for
the
titles.

That
being
said,
