Hook promo, Bryan Danielson video package set for AEW Dynamite
A pair of new announcements have been made for this week’s AEW Dynamite episode.
Dynamite takes place live from Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia this Wednesday. AEW has announced that we’ll hear from Hook on the episode. There will also be a video package on the show looking back at Bryan Danielson’s career ahead of his potential retirement at All In.
After an angle where Chris Jericho threw a fireball into his face this July, Hook returned on Dynamite last week looking for payback against Jericho and the rest of The Learning Tree. Hook signaled that he wants to win the FTW Championship back from Jericho. We’ll see if that match is made official for All In.
Danielson is challenging Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship at the Sunday, August 25 pay-per-view. If Danielson does not win, he will retire from in-ring competition. The video package on Wednesday’s Dynamite will be set to “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” by Green Day. In an interview with music publication Kerrang, Danielson named that as the song he would want played at his funeral.
The updated Dynamite lineup is listed below:
