AEW Dynamite will present a special edition next week in Cincinnati on October 18th that falls on a Tuesday night. The company booked multiple matches for the show where two of the top titles will be on the line serving as co-main-events. This seems to be a desperate effort on the promotion’s part as they will go head-to-head with WWE’s weekly Tuesday programming, NXT on USA Network.
The card for next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite originally started to shape up from last week onwards when it was confirmed that a world title defense would be there. As confirmed, AEW World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley, the hometown favorite will put his title on the line in the main event match of the show, in a rematch against Adam Page.

Women’s Title match set for next week’s AEW Dynamite
Alongside the men’s division title defense, AEW Interim Women’s World Champion Toni Storm will also put her title on the line against Hikaru Shida in a one-on-one affair. Storm and Shida defeated Dr. Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter in a tag team bout this week after which the two women shook hands and exchanged greetings. It was then that the announcers confirmed Shida as Storm’s next title challenger.
Storm won the Interim AEW Women’s World Title at All Out by defeating Baker, Shida, and Hayter in a 4-Way Match. As the current top star of the AEW women’s division, she already had a couple of successful title defenses. The most recent win came over Serena Deeb in a Lumberjack Match after which Saraya debuted in AEW. Storm had also successfully defended against Baker, Athena, and Deeb at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam episode on September 21.
