It’s Saturday Fight Night, and you know what that means. Tonight at 8/7c on TNT, it’s the Battle of the Belts, with three championships at stake, including the AEW Women’s Title, the FTW Championship, and the interim TNT Championship.

Posted this in the announcement thread, but I’ll mention it here too, TSN2 in Canada is carrying this live tonight so no having to use the app. Yay
EDIT: I’m now getting conflicting information. TSN website says it’s airing on TSN2 but the TSN ap says it isn’t. My cable box says it’s airing tonight

Hopefully this is a sign that Ricky will be getting more singles matches this year. I know that wanted to ease him in after the injury but if they play their cards right, he can easily be their breakout star for 2022.

Britt will retain, we know Rosa's coming.
Getting the feeling this is just another Rampage, but live. They'll probably also tape this week's Dark for the crowd.

Was going to get tickets to this. Had other things come up.
Glad I didn’t. That’s not an interesting card at all.

I'm excited for tonight. Britt doesn't defend the title too often so I'm interested in that even if I'm 80% sure she's retaining. Dustin's great and he and Sammy have had good matches in the past. Plus Ricky and Matt should have a great match. Should be a fun one hour of wrestling.

Rare DARK appearance from Hangman, that will probably perk the fans up There is probably gonna be two hours of DARK tapeed just like live Rampages, so the crowds definitely gonna get their money's worth, hoping to see some surprises there

What do they mean by interim? Means I assume whoever wins this match tonight is going to be recognized as TNT Champion, and the second Cody is better and back, they will have a TNT Championship match where the interim will become the true champion or Cody will become TNT champion for a technical fourth time. This I assume will give Guevara or Dustin enough weeks with the belt where they get some defenses in like against Sky, depending on how long Cody stays out.

What do they mean by interim? Basically it means you’re the champion while the champion is injured, but it’s not an undisputed title because 2 people lay legitimate claim to it. Generally leads to a unification match

What do they mean by interim? A fill in unto the legit champ who is unable to compete can come back and then they have a match to decide who's the real champion.

Makes me believe Cody is gonna be extra cautious due to his daughter so thinking may be a full 10 days if not more. I actually think Cody vs Dustin has more intrigue than another Cody/Sammy match

My shitty cable provider doesn’t give a series record option for AEW Dynamite, it treats it like a sports game and I have to remember to manually set it to record each week but for whatever reason I have a series record option for Battle of the Belts tonight. I’m so annoyed
