Coming out of the 7/29 edition of AEW Dynamite, a number of segments and matches were set up for the next several weeks of AEW programming. Jon Moxley and Darby Allin bested Ricky Starks and Brian Cage in the main event of Dynamite after Allin used his thumbtack-covered skateboard against the back of Ricky Starks. After the match, it was announced that Moxley will be defending the AEW World Championship against Allin on 8/5.
Excalibur was not on commentary tonight and Taz filled in for him. Several videos of Excalibur saying the n-word surfaced and received a great deal of traction on social media.
On the 8/5 edition of Dynamite, Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy will have a “debate” which will be the precursor to their rematch the following week. Jericho stated that if he beats Orange Cassidy, Cassidy has to give him $7,000.
