When AEW Dynamite returns to Mile High City, fans can expect confirmation and clarity for the AEW Revolution main event between MJF and Hangman Adam Page. After an incredible selling of the stakes and gravity of the two suggested stipulations, many fans seemed to think the match was a done deal.

Such was the strength of Hangman Adam Page and MJF’s conviction. Although the stipulations were pitched, it was easy for some to forget in the fantasy booking of it all that MJF said he needed a week. Three big matches with AEW stalwarts Jon Moxley, Brody King, and Orange Cassidy in action against distinct foils. In a clash of styles, Moxley will battle the corrupted, unique aerial offence of El Clone.  Cassidy will take on Gabe Kidd. Kidd, having broken away from the Death Riders, is looking for a big win and to establish his character in the Land of the Elite. Expect Darby Allin and Clark Connors to be involved somehow.

On the previous Dynamite, a video showed us Brody King and Bandido backstage. Underneath the politically charged chants of the fans, King made it clear he isn’t slowing down. King made an open challenge for any opponent to step up and face him. We’ve seen short, sharp squashes and stand-by matches. We’ve seen King hang the AEW World Champion, feet dangling, over the outside of the ring and get so close to the AEW World Championship in Sydney. King wanted the biggest, the baddest of opponents. In a true clash of muscle and meat, can King overcome an opponent who is becoming more and more formidable each week? In the past, however, the follow-up for world champion contenders has sometimes lacked the same urgency. Wednesday night, we’ll see how hard King and AEW are going to hit.

As a marketing tactic, the genius underlying last week’s confrontation between Hangman Adam Page and MJF spelled out what to expect this week and at AEW Revolution. The only thing to do is confirm what feels like the inevitable conclusion between these two legacy foils. Since day one, Hangman Adam Page and MJF have been more than foils. They have been mirroring opposites, so alike and yet so distinct because of the fans and the choices they made in response to our voice. Well, things could change. MJF is known for dealing and worming his way out of difficult positions. With time to spare, there could be caveats added. Hoops that Page will have to jump through. Or even perhaps doubt from Page himself when he offered the infamous Cody Rhodes promise. If he loses, he will never challenge for the AEW World Championship again. A way to create another moment. Think the vicious, turning point contract signings between Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland. Think of many of MJF’s classic promos and confrontations with his opponents, from Jon Moxley to CM Punk.
