AEW Dynamite: Championship Match, Face-off and more announced for May 8 episode

As All Elite Wrestling is hyping things up for the annual Double or Nothing pay-per-view event, they will deliver a loaded episode of Dynamite consisting of a TNT title defense, two more matches, and a face-to-face segment.

In the opening match of this week’s Dynamite, Adam Copeland (FKA Edge in WWE) defeated Buddy Matthews to retain his TNT Championship. After the match, he wanted to seek revenge against the House of Black member.

Copeland grabbed two Steel Chairs and wanted to take Matthews out with his signature Con-Chair-To but the lights went out and Malakai Black stopped him from doing so. Afterwards, Adam Copeland vs. Brody King was announced for next week.

As Best Friends faction continues to implode on AEW programming, it’s time for Trent Beretta to go one-on-one with Orange Cassidy on the May 8 episode. Last night, Cassidy announced that he was informed Chuck Taylor will never wrestle after what Trent did to him last week.

Trent came out and said that Cassidy is selfish and he is the one to blame for the bygones. Cassidy tried to go after Trent, but the security pulled them apart. Don Callis came out and said something to Cassidy, as they left together.

After a backstage promo aired on Rampage featuring Saraya and Harley Cameron, Cameron issued a challenge to Mariah May for next week's Dynamite and that match was officially set. May lost to Serena Deeb on this week's Dynamite.

Finally, AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland will confront Christian Cage as the latter was revealed to be Swerve's Double or Nothing title match challenger on this week's Dynamite after which Christian and Killswitch laid out Swerve and Prince Nana.
