The following matches are advertised for tonight’s AEW Dynamite television show.
-Chris Jericho vs. Bryan Danielson in a semifinal tournament match for the vacant AEW World Championship
-Jon Moxley vs. Sammy Guevara in a semifinal tournament match for the vacant AEW World Championship
-Interim AEW Women’s Champion Toni Storm and Athena vs. Britt Baker and Serena Deeb

Powell’s POV: The winners of the semifinal matches will meet for the vacant AEW World Championship on the September 21 Grand Slam edition of Dynamite. Tonight’s Dynamite will be live from Albany, New York at MVP Arena (Rampage will also be taped tonight). Join Jake Barnett for our weekly live review as Dynamite airs Wednesday on TBS at 7CT/8ET. My AEW Dynamite same night audio reviews are available for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon subscribers).
