Continental title match, Mercedes Mone segment added to next AEW Dynamite

Eddie Kingston and Kazuchika Okada will meet next week on AEW Dynamite.

It was announced on Wednesday’s Dynamite that Kingston will defend his Continental title in Toronto against Okada and it will be held under Continental rules which means no interference. The other two titles as part of the modern Triple Crown are not on the line.

This week’s show saw Okada pin Kingston in a trios match. Following the bout, Okada grabbed the Continental title and posed with it before dropping it back to Kingston who was still recovering from the match. 

Next Wednesday will also feature another appearance from AEW’s newest star Mercedes Mone. The end of Dynamite saw Mone make the save for Willow Nightingale after she was attacked by Julia Hart and Skye Blue.

Hook will square off against Chris Jericho. After the two were successful in a tag team match over The Gates of Agony, Jericho told Hook that he wanted to know more about him, and needed to know what it would be like to stand across from him in the ring. The two agreed to a match.

A tag team match will also take place, with Deonna Purrazzo and a partner of her choosing squaring off against Toni Storm and Mariah May.

Here is the lineup for next week’s AEW Dynamite:

  • I Quit match for the TNT Championship: Christian Cage defends against Adam Copeland
  • Continental Championship: Eddie Kingston defends against Kazuchika Okada
  • We’ll hear from Mercedes Mone
  • Deonna Purrazzo & a mystery partner vs. Toni Storm & Mariah May
  • Chris Jericho vs. Hook
