Fresh off of a win at "Forbidden Door", AEW Women's Champion "Timeless" Toni Storm faces off against The Infantry's Trish Adora. Storm's opponent last week on "Collision", Lady Frost will test her skills against AEW's first Women's Champion, RIHO.

On this week's "Dynamite", Hangman Adam Page returned as the Wild Card to face Jeff Jarrett in the quarterfinals of the Owen Hart Cup tournament. Page advanced in his first match since "REVOLUTION". He looks to defeat "Switchblade" Jay White in the semifinals. White is 4-0 in their previous matchups. The winner faces Bryan Danielson next Wednesday.
