Welcome to this edition of AEW Dynamite Ignite for 5/20/20! The show is live and only three days before AEW Double or Nothing. I would expect a wild show. What will we learn about Saturday’s pay-per-view on tonight’s show?
AEW Dynamite Ignite for 5/20/20
Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Arn Anderson (Interview)
Two of the best talkers in professional wrestling will sit down with each other before the TNT Championship Final at Double or Nothing. I would expect some real verbal fireworks. Jake Roberts seems willing to go anywhere to get any advantage for his client Lance Archer.
Will Cody and Lance Archer get involved as well? It seems unlikely they will be able to avoid a fight before Saturday. The feud has simply become too personal. Expect that intensity to rise on Wednesday night.
AEW Women’s World Champion Nyla Rose & Dr. Britt Baker D.D.S vs. Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander
Who will gain the advantage before Saturday? This tag match sets up two matches at Double or Nothing. Can Nyla Rose slow down the hot streak of Hikaru Shida before Saturday Night? Shida has looked unstoppable in recent months and has had many more matches under her belt then Rose. Can Nyla Rose stop this dangerous threat to her title?
Kris Statlander and Britt Baker have a match on Saturday night as well. After Baker’s attacked Statlander on a recent Dynamite, this will be their last face to face before their singles match. With so much bad blood between these four women, anything can happen.
MJF (W/ Wardlow) vs. Marko Stunt
MJF returned from his “devastating” injury last week to win a match in two minutes on AEW Dynamite. After that quick match, he challenged Marko Stunt to a match on this week’s Dynamite. As MJF gets ready for Jungle Boy at Double or Nothing, he is going to take it out on the much smaller Jurassic Express team member.
MJF has clearly stated he sees Marko as only a “warm-up match”. That would be underestimating Marko Stunt and the heroic efforts he has had against much larger opponents in recent weeks. Will MJF overlook Marko Stunt at his own peril?
AEW Dynamite Ignite for 5/20/20
Orange Cassidy vs. Rey Fenix
Orange Cassidy took a vicious kick out of nowhere from Rey Fenix. The brutal attack was a continuation of The Death Triangle vs. Best Friends feud from earlier this year. Because of the pandemic, Rey Fenix is on his own and out for revenge.
These two are looking for some momentum before the Casino Ladder Match on Saturday night. They are two of the nine competitors in that important pay-per-view match. Who can get the upper hand and some revenge before Double or Nothing?
“Broken” Matt Hardy VS. Sammy Guevara
Let us take a moment to remember the memory of Vanguard-1.
Vanguard-1 was a tragic loss as he was destroyed by Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle last week. The wonderful drone has been with Matt Hardy a long time. Hardy might not take it well and Sammy Guevara had better watch out. If he isn’t healthy from the golf cart collision he had two weeks ago, he will be in real trouble. With the upcoming Stadium Stampede Match, I would expect some Elite vs. Inner Circle interference as well.

Main Event
Jon Moxley vs. 10 (w/ Mr. Brodie Lee)
Jon Moxley is mad. He was attacked after his match with Frankie Kazarian two weeks ago by Brodie Lee and the Dark Order. Moxley’s AEW World Championship was stolen as well. It is time for revenge.
Enter the man known as 10. He is formerly Preston Vance and he is undefeated since joining the Dark Order. This will be a true chance for 10 to impress “The Exalted One”. But can he survive a fired up Moxley a few days before Double or Nothing? It will be a fun brawl for sure.
