AEW has announced three more matches for Dynamite. 

Just days after returning and defeating Jade Cargill for the TBS Championship at Double or Nothing, Kris Statlander will be in action on Wednesday’s show. She will defend her newly won title against former AEW Women’s Champion, Nyla Rose. 

Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy vs. The Gates of Agony has also been added to tonight’s lineup. It will be Allin and Cassidy’s fifth time teaming together in AEW. They are 5-0 with three of those wins coming on house shows. 

A three way match pitting Swerve Strickland vs. Big Bill vs. Trent Beretta has also been added to tonight’s show. Strickland and Bill were two of the three final wrestlers left in the Blackjack Battle Royal on Sunday along with Beretta’s stablemate Orange Cassidy. 

“After the Blackjack Battle Royal saw Swerve’s close call + his betrayal of Big Bill, + Trent taking a bullet for his friend, Swerve, Big Bill & Trent fight in a 3 way TONIGHT!” Tony Khan wrote about the match.

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite is scheduled for the Viejas Arena on the campus of San Diego State University.
