MJF vs. Kyle Fletcher, Bryan Danielson vs. Jeff Jarrett set for next AEW Dynamite

Three matches are on tap for next Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with one involving the former AEW World Champion and another featuring a first-time-ever match between two legends.

AEW American/International Champion MJF will face Kyle Fletcher in a non-title match following the latter coming out to aid former partner Will Ospreay from an MJF post-match attack.

Ospreay had just defeated Lance Archer when MJF followed up on a show-opening promo by beating down Ospreay. Fletcher then prevented a Dynamite diamond ring punch before cutting a promo on MJF, challenging him to a match right there. MJF pretended he was going to do it and then said he would do it next week instead.

Ospreay and Fletcher were part of the United Empire faction in NJPW in addition to the Don Callis Family before Ospreay and Callis parted ways this year.

MJF and Fletcher squared off at last year’s All In when MJF & Adam Cole defeated Fletcher & Mark Davis for the ROH Tag Team titles.

Another match will see Bryan Danielson take on Jeff Jarrett for the first time ever.

The bout was made after Wednesday’s in-ring promo with Danielson and AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland where Danielson offered up his career if he cannot beat Strickland at All In. Danielson walked backstage and Jarrett was rooting him on as a follow-up to last week’s pump-up speech that he gave him.

Danielson wasn’t in the mood and then issued the challenge for next Wednesday.

Another match made for next week will see Katsuyori Shibata taking on Bryan Keith as the feud between their respective groups continues.

Shibata returned last week to disrupt The Learning Tree’s plans. Chris Jericho said in a backstage promo celebrating 102 days as FTW Champion that since his finger was broken last week in his bout with Minoru Suzuki, Keith would take care of Shibata for him.

Here’s the current lineup for Winston-Salem:

  • Bryan Danielson vs. Jeff Jarrett
  • AEW American/International Champion MJF vs. Kyle Fletcher in a non-title match
  • Bryan Keith vs. Katsuyori Shibata
