Cope vs. Claudio Castagnoli, Owen Hart Cup bracket reveal announced for AEW Dynamite

Two new matches have been added to the growing lineup for next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.

Adam Copeland vs. Claudio Castagnoli was confirmed during a backstage segment with Castagnoli and The Death Riders on the March 29 episode of AEW Collision on TNT and Max in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

“For what you did to me, I bet you think that was oh so ruthless,” Castagnoli said while sending a message to “The Rated-R Superstar” directly into the lens of the camera. “But I know you are losing your edge and you are just trying to cope with it. That’s why I’m going to beat you to a pulp.”

Later in the show, the bout was confirmed.

Also joining the 4/2 Dynamite lineup is AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm vs. Penelope Ford in non-title women’s action, as well as the unveiling of the brackets for the 2025 Owen Hart Cup tournament for both the men and the women.

Next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 2 from Peoria, Illinois, and will serve as the “go-home show” for the AEW Dynasty 2025 pay-per-view on April 6 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Here is the updated lineup:

  • Mixed tornado tag team match: Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir vs. Swerve Strickland & Willow Nightingale
  • Will Ospreay returns
  • Cope vs. Claudio Castagnoli
  • Toni Storm vs. Penelope Ford
  • Men’s and women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament bracket reveal
