AEW Dynamite IGNITE for 08/21/24 (Okada vs. Castagnoli)

It is AEW All In week as we preview AEW Dynamite IGNITE for 08/21/24! It will undoubtedly be a special moment seeing over 50,000 fans fill Wembley Stadium on Sunday for the biggest All Elite Wrestling show of the year.

This week’s AEW Dynamite will feature a special go-home show, which will be broadcast live in Cardiff, Wales, for the first time.

This week’s show will feature a final face-to-face between MJF and Ospreay, a match for “The Learning Tree,” and two massive title matches. Let us find out more about this amazing card in Cardiff in the latest edition of AEW Ignite.

MJF & Will Ospreay Face-To-Face

To say the rivalry between MJF and Will Ospreay has been personal would be an understatement. It has involved attacks, blood, and many wars of the world. MJF has even attacked Ospreay’s friend, Kyle Fletcher in recent weeks. 

What will happen when they face off before their AEW American Championship match at AEW All In? Can they keep it together on Dynamite before Sunday night? The outlook is certainly not looking good.

(AEW Women’s World Championship)
“The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho vs. “Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington

“The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho is getting ready for his FTW Championship match against Hook at AEW All-In this Sunday.

Jericho recently described himself as a “Modern Day Stu Hart” and plans to teach Tommy Billington a lesson on this week’s show. It should be quite the match just a few days before the pay-per-view.

Billington is the nephew of the original “Dynamite Kid”, a British pro wrestling legend. The younger Billington has been impressive in the previous two matches in All Elite Wrestling.

And will he get the support of the Welsh crowd on Wednesday night? Indeed, it could be a stern test for Jericho on AEW Dynamite.

(AEW Women’s World Championship)
“Timeless” Toni Storm (c) vs. Saraya

On last week’s AEW Rampage, Harley Cameron and Saraya came out to celebrate Saraya’s birthday. Saraya wasn’t really in a celebratory mood, however.

She was reminiscing about last year’s AEW All-In and the fact that she won the AEW Women’s World Championship at Wembley. Saraya was upset where she was in the Women’s Division just one year later. Would she even be at this year’s show?

Enter Toni Storm. Even though Storm has to prepare for Mariah May on Sunday night, she hasn’t forgotten her former alliance with Saraya.

“Timeless” Toni Storm shockingly offered an AEW Women’s World Championship match on Wednesday night, too. Can Saraya take the title just four days before Wembley?

It is certainly a huge risk for Toni Storm. In recent weeks, she has focused so much attention on her former friend Mariah May. Will she overlook Saraya?

The motivated former champion will definitely have home-field advantage. Can she pull off the upset? We know Mariah May will be waiting and watching.

(AEW Continental Championship)
Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Claudio Castagnoli

It is hard to believe this match occurs on AEW Dynamite on Wednesday night. On a recent episode of AEW Collision, Claudio Castagnoli won the right to challenge for the AEW Continental Championship.

In a surprising move, Claudio will challenge Kazuchika Okada for the title on Wednesday night instead of at Wembley. Two of the greatest wrestlers in the world will battle on Wednesday night in Cardiff.

This will only be Okada’s third-ever Continental Championship title defense and the first since May 15th. He has been focused on his work with the rest of The Elite.

Can he focus on singles action yet again? If he does, we could just have the best match of the entire weekend.

What To Expect:

  • How loud will the crowd be in Wales on Wednesday night? 
  • Will Bryan Danielson have anything to say in possibly his last Dynamite? 
  • Will we learn any more matches for AEW All-In?
