Big match to open tonight’s AEW Dynamite

All Elite Wrestling has loaded up the card for tonight’s episode of Dynamite on TNT.

The biggest match to be announced for the show is Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet vs. Shaq and Jade Cargill in a mixed-tag team match. Many fans thought this would be the main event as a way to help boost ratings. However, Rhodes confirmed in an appearance on Tuesday’s edition of the NBA on TNT that this match would be opening the show. AEW later confirmed the news.
