Plus, The Elite will take on Death Triangle in the seventh and final match of their Best of Seven Series for the AEW World Trios Tag Team Championship, next week on Dynamite. At present, the scores are even for both sides.
In another major match booked for the show, former WWE Divas Champion Paige, now known as Saraya will feature in a tag team match that will mark her second-only match since making her in-ring return at AEW Full Gear in November 2022.
During Dynamite, Saraya, Toni Storm, and Hikaru Shida sat down with Renee Paquette for an interview session where Saraya said that she was sitting next to the best wrestler in the world, that's Toni Storm while also noting that she will be her tag partner.
Her decision surprised both Renee and Shida as they alongside the fans assumed that a surprise would be there in this announcement. Whether or not the lineup changes, currently it stands, Saraya and Storm taking on Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter.
