This week on Dynamite, it’s another whirlwind of activity. Jon Moxley defends his AEW Championship against the enigmatic Darby Allin. Jericho and Orange head into an orator’s battle with a mystery moderator overseeing the competition. Matt Cardona makes his AEW in-ring debut alongside Cody vs. The Dark Order’s Silver and Reynolds. With just a month to go before AEW’s second All Out, the entire roster is jockeying for positioning, and there will be plenty of surprises on the road to September 5.

Here is the full roster of matches for tonight’s broadcast:
