AEW Dynamite Preview 4/22, World Championship Match Set

AEW Dynamite is live tonight on TBS at 8PM ET. The show will be held at The Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon and is headlined by an AEW World Championship Match.

Last week, Darby Allin shocked the world and defeated MJF in very quick fashion to become the new AEW World Championship in his hometown of Seattle. Now, there’s no rest for the new champion as he will defend his gold against Tommaso Ciampa.

Ciampa made it very clear last week that he was gunning for the AEW World Championship, and luckily for him, he doesn’t have to wait long. The two will clash tonight.

Plus, we’re also set to hear from Darby Allin, as well. It’ll be interesting to see what he has to say coming off of the biggest win of his career.

REMINDER: #AEWDynamite is LIVE NATIONWIDE with an Early West Coast Start Time, TOMORROW!

Elsewhere on the show, we will see Will Ospreay go head-to-head against former friend Mark Davis. This comes after Mark Davis laid out Will Ospreay last week with a devastating pile-driver just moments after he beat Mark’s Don Callis Family stablemate in Hechicero. Now, Ospreay can try for some payback.

Lastly, in the AEW women’s division, something is cooking up with Hikaru Shida. But, what is it? Mina Shirakawa accused Shida of being the person who attacked Toni Storm and warns Kris Statlander to not trust Hikaru. We don’t know if that’s true or not, but, Shida didn’t take too kindly to the accusations and the two will battle tonight.

More matches will be announced throughout the day by AEW. Stay tuned for more AEW Dynamite news and results during tonight’s event.
