AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage Brings Huge Return, Title Match & Faction Warfare

AEW Dynamite is gearing up for a massive edition on January 14, titled “Maximum Carnage,” and the lineup is already stacked with big returns, major matches, and high-stakes faction showdowns.

After weeks away, Kenny Omega is set to make his return to AEW programming. His comeback has been kept under wraps, and fans are eager to see what his next move will be,

The storyline tension between Kris Statlander and Julia Hart’s faction continues to escalate. Statlander is teaming up with Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron—collectively for a six-woman tag match against the Triangle of Madness: Julia Hart, Skye Blue, and Thekla.

The men’s division is also set for another brutal collision. Darby Allin will face PAC in a rematch that nearly didn’t happen. PAC initially refused the challenge, but Allin’s backstage threat to injure himself forced PAC’s hand. This is a personal grudge match fueled by ego, pride, and pain.

MJF will defend the AEW World Championship against Bandido. The match was previously announced, and now with Bandido building momentum and MJF showing more vulnerability in recent weeks, this could be a sleeper threat to the champ’s reign.

AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage airs live January 14, and all eyes will be on these key developments. As a reminder, Ringside News will have live covearage of the event.
