Tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite should set the stage for the main event of Dynasty next month in Canada.

With AEW's next pay-per-view just weeks away, tonight's main event between Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland should lock in the main event of Dynasty.

Unbeknownst to him, Swerve Strickland became the number one contender for the AEW World Championship after defeating Brody King earlier this month at Revolution. But with Kenny Omega looking for revenge and a shot at the title himself, Strickland couldn't pass up the opportunity to risk it all for an even greater prize.

Strickland will put his number one contender status on the line tonight against Kenny Omega, who will put his EVP status on the line in an extremely high-stakes matchup. The winner will move on to Dynasty next month in Canada to challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship.

Speaking of MJF, the self-proclaimed Salt of the Earth will return to Dynamite this evening fresh off his Texas Deathmatch victory over Hangman Adam Page at Revolution. How much will Friedman gloat over being the reason that Page can no longer compete for the AEW World Title? Tune in to find out.

The AEW Women's World Championship will also be on the line tonight as Thekla defends her title against Mina Shirakawa, who is coming off a huge win over Marina Shafir last week on Dynamite. Will Shirakawa shock the world tonight? Or will the Toxic Spider continue her reign? We'll find out soon enough.

Last week on Dynamite, Darby Allin made it clear his sights were on MJF and the AEW World Championship. This is another challenger that MJF has no desire to defend his title against, and is already paying off some of AEW's top names to derail Allin's path to the title. Tonight, Allin will go one-on-one with RUSH, and if he gets past him, you can bet Andrade El Idolo won't be too far behind.

Also announced for tonight's show is Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong taking on David Finlay and Clark Connors of The Dogs. Over the weekend, Strong officially declared himself a member of The Conglomeration, but will that celebration be short-lived? We'll find out later tonight.

AEW Dynamite results:

Tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite kicks off in a huge way with the #1 Contender vs. EVP match between Swerve Strickland and Kenny Omega. This match will take place with limited commercial interruption.

Kenny Omega defeated Swerve Strickland (w/ Prince Nana): Much of the opening portion of this match took place outside the ring, with referee Aubrey Edwards doing little to get the participants back in. Once the match got in the ring, it was everything you would expect from two of AEW's top main event talent, with plenty of near falls. The finish of the match saw Omega hit Strickland with the One-Winged Angel to score the pinfall victory.

With that victory, Kenny Omega is now the number one contender for MJF's AEW World Championship.

A video package plays, hyping tonight's main event between Darby Allin and RUSH. That match will have a no-countout stipulation. So expect plenty of action outside the ring.

We get a promo backstage from Will Ospreay, who challenges PAC to a match next week on Dynamite. Ospreay turns his focus to Jon Moxley, who makes it abundantly clear he wants a match with the leader of the Death Riders at Dynasty next month.

Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, and Marina Shafir) (w/ Wheeler Yuta) defeated SkyFlight (Top Flight and Zayda Steel) (w/ Christopher Daniels): This match began with the Death Riders attacking SkyFlight from behind. The Death Riders gave Top Flight, the hometown team, plenty of fun offense in tonight's match, but it wasn't enough. The finish saw Garcia lock Darius in the Dragon Tamer so Mox could hit him with a curb stomp, allowing Garcia to score the pinfall for his team.

After the match, Jon Moxley gets on the microphone and addresses Will Ospreay. Moxley says he knows Ospreay is angry, but to him, it's not personal. Mox agrees to face Ospreay next month at the pay-per-view. The match is quickly made official.

We get a video package for the Young Bucks. Matt and Nick Jackson make it clear their mission is to get the AEW World Tag Team Titles back for a fourth time and they don't care who stands in their way.

Speedball Mike Bailey defeated Rocky Romero. This seems to be a standby match as it wasn't previously announced. It was a relatively short match in which Speedball hit Romero with Ultima Weapon for the pinfall victory.

We get a video package of the Texas Deathmatch between MJF and Hangman Adam Page from Revolution. We'll hear from MJF up next.

AEW World Champion MJF comes out to the ring to cut a promo. MJF says he's the man who hanged the Hangman. Friedman puts over the fact that Page can never challenge for the AEW World Title again. MJF claims Hangman didn't put up much of a fight, calling the Texas Deathmatch an easy dub. Friedman says no one deserves the AEW World Championship more than him, once again calling himself

MJF is interrupted by Kenny Omega, who makes his way to the ring, and the two men face off. Omega says he's been hearing MJF talking about defeating top challengers with the greatest of ease. Omega says if Friedman wants to be the Devil, there is no one better to defeat him than the God of professional wrestling. Kenny makes it clear that the last time MJF beat him, he wasn't close to 100%, but he's much better now. Their match is made official next month for Dynasty.

Renee Paquette is backstage with Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. Christian says FTR chose to turn their back on Copeland and chose to spike piledrive Beth, but most importantly, they chose to spike piledrive him. Cage walks away and Copeland calls Cage an asshole, but he knows two bigger ones and addresses FTR. Copeland says that when Dax and Cash decided to put their hands on Beth, it means not only will they be taking their titles, but they'll be ending their careers.

FTR and Stokely come out into the arena to respond. Cash Wheeler says they chose to dump the dead weight so they didn't have to carry Copeland over the finish line of his career. Wheeler says they take a backseat to no one. Wheeler says it's not 2009 anymore, and he no longer needs him. Dax Harwood says their tough-guy act doesn't scare them, calling Cope and Cage a shell of their former selves. Harwood says if he'll drop Beth on her head, what do they think he'll do to them?

Orange Cassidy comes out for the next match and FTR gets into a shoving match with him. Roderick Strong comes out to break things up.

The Dogs (David Finlay and Clark Connors) defeated Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong: The rivalry between The Dogs and The Conglomeration continues. The finish of the match saw Finlay and Connors hit Cassidy with the Full Clip, which resulted in Connors scoring the pinfall victory for his team.

We get a video package from the new AEW Women's Tag Team Champions, the Divine Dominion. Megan Bayne and Lena Kross don't seem to have any worry about their upcoming rematch with the Babes of Wrath.

We hear from TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher, who claims he's on track to become the greatest TNT Champion of all time. Fletcher makes it clear he doesn't like that the Don Callis Family is working with MJF, when they should be taking the title from him. Fletcher brings in Konosuke Takeshita. They clear the air and hug each other.

Thekla defeated Mina Shirakawa to retain the AEW Women's World Championship. Much like the opening contest, a lot of this match took place outside of the ring early on. With the main event match being a no-countout match, we seem to have a theme tonight. The finish of the match saw Thekla hit Shirakawa with brass knuckles to score the pinfall victory.

Kenny Omega is backstage with Renee Paquette. It's announced there will be a contract signing next week, but if there is any physicality, the match is off. Omega says this feels like deja vu for him, but now is the time for him to become champion again. Speedball comes in and puts Omega over, noting that after he wins the title at Dynasty, he's like the first title shot. Omega agrees.

Darby Allin defeated RUSH. This is exactly the type of match you'd expect from RUSH and Darby Allin, a hard-hitting brawl that took place all around the ringside area. The finish saw Allin catch RUSH with a jackknife pin to score the victory.

After the match, the Don Callis Family attacks Darby Allin as Andrade El Idolo and Don Callis argue as AEW Dynamite goes off the air.
