Bengaluru, Dec 30: AEW Dynamite will come up with a loaded first episode for 2022, marking All Elite Wrestling's premiere on the TBS Network, moving from their TNT home. The much-anticipated AEW World Championship rematch between 'Hangman’ Adam Page and Bryan Danielson was already confirmed for the upcoming episode, last week.

Then on yesterday’s New Year’s Smash, another Championship match has been added to the card. The Lucha Bros. will put their AEW Tag Team Titles on the line against Jungle Express (Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus).

The final match lineup of the TBS Women’s Championship tournament has also been confirmed for next Wednesday night with Jade Cargill taking on Ruby Soho. The winner of this match will become the first TBS Women’s Champion in the history of AEW.

This week’s Dynamite featured the last semi-final match in the TBS Championship tournament between Thunder Rosa and Jade Cargill which had a surprise interference by former WWE NXT Superstar Mercedes Martinez.

The final moments of the match saw a mystery person run at ringside and assist Cargill in getting the pinfall. An infuriated Rosa went on to attack Cargill but the hooded persona returned to make the save and thereby revealed her identity.

Ruby Soho ran down to the ring and chased off Jade and Martinez to close the segment. The former Riott Squad leader of WWE defeated Nyla Rose in a hard-fought battle on last week’s Dynamite Holiday Bash edition to go on to the finals.



The Malakai Black vs. The Varsity Blondes feud will continue, next week as Black will be facing Brian Pillman Jr. in a singles match. After weeks of tormenting Julia Hart and Griff Garrison, Pillman is looking forward to seeking redemption on the former WWE NXT Champion.

That being said, the full card for the January 5 episode of AEW Dynamite stands as follows,
