AEW Dynamite is LIVE tonight from the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, on TBS and HBO Max at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT. All roads lead to AEW All In: London, which is now just 32 days away. There’s plenty of fallout from AEW Redemption that will be felt over the next two nights in Detroit, with Dynamite tonight followed by a special LIVE Thursday edition of Collision. 

New AEW Women's World Champion Willow Nightingale celebrates her Redemption victory live on Dynamite tonight before she must shift her focus to defending her newly won AEW Women’s World Title against Mercedes Moné at Wembley Stadium. And a big night for The Conglomeration continues when the AEW World Trios Titles are on the line as Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong put up the belts against The Demand. 

Two more new champions will have their first title defenses tonight! After shocking Hikaru Shida at Redemption, TBS Champion Maya World defends against CMLL Women’s World Champion Persephone! And AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo puts his title on the line against former champion “Jungle” Jack Perry and “Prodigy” Nick Wayne in a 3-Way match!

Plus, with their AEW World Tag Team Championship match set for All In: London, Renee Paquette sits down with the champions, Christian Cage and Adam Copeland, and the challengers, the Young Bucks.

Two nights in Detroit begin with a bang on Dynamite tonight! Check out everything you need to know below!

AEW Dynamite Tonight in Detroit

Willow Nightingale AEW Women's World Championship Celebration

At AEW Redemption in Montreal, Willow Nightingale beat AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla to reach what she called the “Top of the Wrestles” in a touching appearance at the post-show media scrum. 

Tonight in Detroit, the new champion celebrates LIVE on Dynamite! But with Mercedes Moné waiting for Nightingale at All In: London, how long will Willow truly have to celebrate?

AEW World Trios Championship Match: The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong) (c) vs. The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona)

The Demand have had their eyes on the AEW World Trios Titles all summer, and tonight, they finally get their shot after challenging The Conglomeration during Redemption. The Conglomeration are coming off a successful defense during the Redemption Buy-In over The Lethal Twist, a match for which Ricochet, Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun had front-row seats at the commentary desk. 

Can Cassidy, O’Reilly and Strong remain undefeated as a trios unit and notch their seventh successful defense, or will The Demand take the gold and take over the trios division?

TBS Championship Match: Maya World (c) vs. CMLL World Women’s Champion Persephone

After shocking Hikaru Shida to win the TBS Championship at Redemption (on her birthday!), Maya World can’t bask in the glow of victory for too long, because her first defense happens tonight on Dynamite. World will have her hands full with CMLL World Women’s Champion, Persephone. Just four days ago on Collision, Persephone took care of her opponent in less than 90 seconds, as the mean streak that helped her earn two eliminations in the Survival of the Fittest and take out Kris Statlander with a belt shot was on full display. Despite both having Texas wrestling roots, this will be the first meeting of any kind between World and Persephone, and it comes with high stakes! 

AEW National Championship: Andrade El Ídolo (c) vs. “Jungle” Jack Perry vs. “The Prodigy” Nick Wayne

Andrade said he was going to take all the gold from the Don Callis Family, and that started this past Sunday when he defeated Mark Davis for the AEW National Title at Redemption. Now, Andrade gets right to work as a fighting champion with a pair of challengers in his first defense. 

Tonight, Andrade takes on former AEW National Champion “Jungle” Jack Perry and “The Prodigy” Nick Wayne, both of whom are coming off impressive performances in the 6-Way Ladder Match at Redemption. Perry beat Wayne on Collision two weeks ago, and if he does it again tonight, he’ll be AEW National Champion for a second time. But Wayne has been on a roll this summer and was a standout in the ladder match. Will Andrade begin his reign on a high note or could the National Title change hands for the second time in four days?

We’ll Hear From AEW World Champion Kenny Omega!

Omega retained the AEW World Championship in an incredible Redemption main event against TNT Champion “The Jet” Kevin Knight, but it was the post-match confrontations that left everyone shocked. Omega was attacked by the Death Riders after the match, and when the Young Bucks couldn’t save him, Will Ospreay came out to stop the beatdown. When Ospreay refused to put a bag over Omega’s head, he blasted Jon Moxley in the face and cleared the ring of the rest of the Death Riders, ending his alliance with the dangerous unit. Once Omega recovered, he offered Ospreay a handshake, but sent a final, lasting message to Ospreay: a One-Winged Angel that left even the Bucks surprised. So what will Omega have to say with All In: London 32 days away and Ospreay waiting to face him in the match of his life at Wembley Stadium?

Renee Paquette Sits Down With AEW World Tag Team Champions Cage & Cope and the Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson)

The AEW World Tag Team Championship match at All In: London is official – Cage & Cope defend against the Young Bucks at Wembley Stadium. At Redemption, the Bucks beat AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay, while Cage and Copeland beat Claudio Castagnoli and PAC, which led to the Bucks coming out for a face-off and the announcement of the dream match. 

Cope and the Bucks have been on good terms for a while, but Cage has been quite dismissive of Matt and Nick Jackson in recent meetings. Tonight, all four men sit down together with Renee Paquette, who will certainly peel back the layers of the onion on a match that felt impossible at one point but will now take place on the epic stage of All In: London!

AEW Continental Championship Match: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Komander

Jon Moxley wants a fight for his AEW Continental Title, so Komander has stepped up to the challenge! Moxley had a rough night at Redemption in taking the pin for his team with Will Ospreay against the Young Bucks. And after the main event, Ospreay refused to put a bag on Kenny Omega’s head and then floored Moxley to solidify his defiance and exit from the Death Riders. You can probably guess what kind of mood Moxley is in tonight, but will Komander bear the brunt of it or catch Moxley off his game?

Don Callis Family (AEW International Champion “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage and Jake Doyle) vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Brodido (ROH World Champion Bandido and Brody King)

Fletcher just beat Bandido to retain his title at Redemption, but it didn't take long to set up his next defense. Bailey won a 6-Way Ladder match at Redemption to earn a shot at the AEW International Title and decided to call his shot for Grand Slam Mexico next week! Before that, they'll be on opposite sides of this mega trios match!
