It's Wednesday! You know what that means.

AEW Dynamite goes live tonight from the Peoria Civic Center in what will be the massive go-home show for Dynasty this Sunday night in Philadelphia.

Rated-FTR are on every page but the same one heading into their AEW Trios Championship opportunity, but Cope has a chance to build some momentum as he battles Claudio Castagnoli one-on-one. Claudio has revenge on the brain and has promised to beat the Rated R Superstar to a pulp.

Castagnoli's Death Rider cohorts will also be in action tonight as AEW World Champion Jon Moxley teams with Marina Shafir to face Swerve Strickland and Willow Nightingale in a mixed tag team match.

AEW Women's Champion Timeless Toni Storm is tired of Penelope Ford getting involved in her affairs, and she'll look to take down Megan Bayne's ally ahead of her clash with the mighty Megasus at AEW Dynasty.

The brackets for both the Men's and Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament are set to be unveiled and Will Ospreay makes his first appearance on AEW programming in weeks.
