AEW Dynamite Thread 01/03/24: Devil May Fly

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

Currently confirmed for Dynamite this week:

Orange Cassidy vs Dante Martin for the International Title
Mariah May makes her in-ring debut for AEW against Queen Aminata
Daniel Garcia vs Swerve Strickland
Darby Allin vs Konosuke Takeshita

The fallout of Worlds End including Samoa Joe's first Dynamite appearance as AEW Champ and "The Devil" Adam Cole and his henchmen explain their actions.

So what shenanigans are we in for in Mariah May's debut. Toni helps her win?

[Soultastic]

As someone who loves MJF and loved his reing.

GET HYPE IT'S JOE TIME

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Glad to see the actual JTTS announced for the Mariah May match, given it would otherwise be overshadowed by speculation. And hey, I like Aminata.

[Hypnosis]

Relieved that May's likely getting a win for her AEW debut match.

[KME]

Echo the feeling of being glad Mariah has a debut match she'll be winning, didn't like the idea of Mercedes or anyone answering an open challenge and beating her, even if they did something interesting in storyline with it the optics wouldn't be great, very 'shiny new toy beats slightly less shiny new toy who we aren't as interested in now'. Very excited to see if they do something with Mercedes if she indeed signs though.

Really looking forward to Orange/Dante in particular too and feel like this and next week will be part of a bit of a reset.

I'm glad it's Queen Aminata, she looked awesome in the Skye Blue match she got on Rampage, they're definitely giving her more looks and she deserves them

[Feargus McReddit]

We'll be hearing from the head of the table the TNT champion for his state of the union address.

[CeilingFan]

I really hope Mone appears on the show.

[Tom Turkey]

Curious with what main events the night.

[kidkamikaze10]

Got tickets for this one. Second show I’m bringing my wife to (first one was the first Forbidden Door).

Hoping Mercedes appears, but hey, if not, my wife gets to see the Patriarch talk trash

"Man, I wanna go to bed, but I still have to make the Dynamite thread. Oh well, I suffer for the people..."

*logs in to make thread, sees there's already one*

...OK, see y'all tomorrow!

(OP, thank you )

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

it is gonna be quite the moment seeing Joe walk out there as a world champ again, can't wait

[daaave]

Expecting a few new feuds to start here. First challenger for Joe being one

[daaave]

Doesn't sound like he'll be there live then

They really are mad if they change the World Title design, outside of changing the strap back to black. It's a thing of beauty.

WHY ADAM WHY?

3 matches and 3 promo segments. Seems like a bit of light show. I hope the women get more then just the Mariah match. I like Queen Aminata, but I can't see that match going past 8 minutes. This would actually be a good show to add a 2nd women's match too.

I don't see Mercedes debuting tonight. None of the stories are set up for a debut. However, if TK had the balls to put the Mariah May match in the main event, then a debuting Mercedes to end the show would be a good close out.
