This bout is the third tag team match that has been announced for the card; the updated lineup is as follows:
- Toni Storm and Ruby Soho vs. Jamie Hayter and Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.
- Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, Christian Cage, Darby Allin, and Matt Hardy vs. The Young Bucks, reDRagon, and Hikuleo
- Jon Moxley vs. Daniel Garcia
- CM Punk and FTR vs. Max Caster and the Gunn Club
WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs.
Update: AEW also announced that fans will hear from MJF on the show. “The Salt of the Earth” no-showed the AEW Double or Nothing Fan Fest, and controversy has surrounded him ever since. Wardlow defeated him in their scheduled match at AEW Double or Nothing, and the Dynamite Diamond Ring was reportedly set to meet with Khan on Tuesday.
In recent months, the wrestling world has been buzzing about his reported frustration with his contract, and MJF has teased that he could sign with WWE when he becomes a free agent in 2024. It’s safe to say he’ll have plenty to say on Wednesday.
