AEW DYNAMITE Preview for April 22, 2020

Wednesday night is almost upon us, and everyone knows what that means: another exhilarating edition of AEW “Dynamite” is coming your way!!! 8pm EST/7pm CST, right on TNT, and coming hard with the unparalleled absolute best professional wrestling available anywhere! One week ago we witnessed “Boom Boom” Colt Cabana take the fight to “The Murderhawk Monster” Lance Archer in their TNT Title Tournament Quarter-Final match, but eventually fall victim to Archer's Blackout that sent Jake Roberts' charge to the Semi-Finals. AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and Jake Hager had a war of their own inside an Empty Arena, and after taking all the shots from Hager, the champion retained in his first defense, and in the process also notched a victory over every member of The Inner Circle. Sammy Guevara, Shawn Spears, and Kip Sabian were also all victorious in their contests, although the latter didn't exactly do it all on his own seeing as how Penelope Ford was at ringside! This week AEW brings to you the last two Quarter-Final match-ups in the TNT Title Tournament, one of which will also determine the future of a legendary career, and Orange Cassidy will lock horns with Jimmy Havoc. Plus, Mr. Brodie Lee, “The War Dog” Wardlow, and AEW World Tag Team Champion Kenny Omega will all be in action this Wednesday night! TNT CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE TOURNAMENT QUARTER-FINAL MATCH KIP SABIAN VS. DUSTIN RHODES You heard the words from his own mouth on that video above as well as in this week's “Road To...” episode: Dustin Rhodes will retire if he does not defeat Kip Sabian in this Quarter-Final match of the TNT Championship Tournament. Being that champion, the FIRST TNT Champion, clearly means the world to Dustin, so much so that he is willing to put his 30 year career at stake Wednesday night. Everything Dustin accomplished before All Elite Wrestling was born, every championship, every match, every victory and defeat, the inspiration he provided to many who dreamed of becoming wrestlers, it all apparently means nothing if he does not win this match. The good Dustin has done since joining AEW: be it the Match of the Year bout nearly a year ago against his brother Cody, the battles against The Inner Circle, or all he has taught the younger talent, it all means nothing if Dustin does not advance to the Semi-Finals to take on “The MurderHawk Monster” Lance Archer. Is this a stupid decision on the legends part? Is he too much in his own head coming into this tournament? Or is it the kind of self-motivation Dustin need to propel himself onto victory? We will all know the result soon enough, but what a prize awaits him if he does succeed in defeating “Superbad” Kip Sabian. And what about Sabian? The focus is no doubt falling on the potential end of a legendary career, but what of the man who may be responsible for ending said journey? Sabian rolls into this match having won three of his last four matches, two consecutively, and would love to be the one to put the nail in the coffin of Dustin Rhodes' career. Imagine that feather in the cap? The bragging rights Kip would have in AEW for being the one to end Dustin Rhodes, and knowing, whether he wins the TNT Championship or not, he will own the right to say he shattered Dustin's championship dreams as well as his thirty year legacy.
