AEW always works hard to make Dynamite exciting, and the April 2 episode is no different. With a solid lineup and epic matches, fans can expect an action-packed night from start to finish, especially since it’s the go-home edition of the show before AEW Dynasty.

Toni Storm vs. Penelope Ford (w/ Megan Bayne)

The AEW Women’s World Champion is set to square off against Penelope Ford in singles competition this week on Dynamite, with Megan Bayne in Ford’s corner. We’ll have to see how Storm fares against Ford, as Storm will try to stay in one piece ahead of her AEW Women’s Title match against Megan Bayne at AEW Dynasty.

The Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Brackets Reveal

AEW will finally reveal the brackets for both the men’s and women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments on Dynamite this week. On the women’s side, Mercedes Moné, Jamie Hayter, and Billie Starkz are confirmed, while Will Ospreay and Adam Page are set for the men’s tournament.

Will Ospreay Returns

Will Ospreay is set to make his AEW return this week, but his opponent has not been confirmed. Since Ospreay has already confirmed his spot in the Owen Hart Cup tournament and the brackets will be revealed this week, fans are excited to see who he will face first.
