- AEW World Championship: Bryan Danielson (-400) vs. Jon Moxley (+250)
- AEW Interim Women’s Championship: Toni Storm (-900) vs. Dr. Britt Baker (+450) vs. Serena Deeb (+650) vs. Athena (+1600)
- AEW World Tag Team Championships: Swerve In Our Glory (+375) vs. The Acclaimed (-700)
- AEW All-Atlantic Championship: PAC (-700) vs. Orange Cassidy (+400)
- ROH World Championship Claudio Castagnoli (-800) vs. Chris Jericho (+425)
The two obvious standouts here are having Danielson favored of Moxley to win the AEW World Championship and for The Acclaimed to be heavily favored in winning the tag titles against Swerve In Our Glory. Max Caster and Anthony Bowens have been generating massive reactions from fans recently and many felt an audible should’ve been called in having them win back at All Out. But it looks like Tony Khan quickly booked a rematch in order for the result to be reversed.
Regarding Danielson, the win would give “The American Dragon” his first championship in AEW and help him redeem the loss he suffered against Moxley back at Revolution. But there’s also the MJF factor to consider, as Khan made it clear Friedman can use his Casino Ladder Match poker chip just like the Money in the Bank briefcase and cash in at any time.ย
“I think any time, any sanctioned event we can certainly make it happen,” Khan explained on Rasslin on Wednesday morning. “In this day and age, with live television and pay-per-view events, and all [of these other] opportunities, it’s exciting to have a contender out there looming and to have this big championship match tonight on Dynamite. Certainly, it’s that much more interesting to have two of the best wrestlers in the world, Bryan Danielson versus Jon Moxley one on one for the world championship, and to have a great wrestler like MJF looming in the background as a top contender with the right to challenge for the title any time. It’s a very interesting championship picture right now in AEW.”
