The upcoming edition of AEW Dynamite will witness not one but two championship matches added to the card. The March 8 edition will feature a TNT Title match, as well as an All-Atlantic Championship, match alongside the recently turned heel superstar in action.
Jay Lethal had failed to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship alongside Jeff Jarrett at Revolution, but it didn’t stop Lethal from getting more title match opportunities. This Wednesday on AEW Dynamite, Lethal will get a shot at the All-Atlantic Championship which is currently held by Orange Cassidy. This is the maiden title reign that Cassidy is enjoying after winning the title from Pac, last year.

During the AEW Revolution 2023 pay-per-view, Wardlow became the new AEW TNT Champion by defeating the ROH TV Champion Samoa Joe. He won the title after submitting Joe with a rear-naked choke hold. The recently become two-time TNT Champion will now put his title on the line in the latest upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite.
Powerhouse Hobbs earned the TNT Championship opportunity by winning the Face of the Revolution ladder match on the March 1 episode of Dynamite. He overcame the likes of Eddie Kingston, Ortiz, AR Fox, Sammy Guevara, Action Andretti, Konosuke Takeshita, and Komander in that match.
Also set for AEW Dynamite is a match featuring the recently turned heel superstar Ruby Soho. This match comes after Ruby turned into a villain at AEW Revolution. After a failed attempt at winning the AEW Women’s World Championship, Ruby attacked Jamie Hayter and aligned herself with Saraya and Toni Storm.
