First-Time Ever Showdown Announced for November 19 AEW Dynamite

AEW is stacking the deck for this Wednesday’s special three-hour Dynamite, and one of the biggest matches announced will see two former WWE stars go head-to-head—Bobby Lashley vs. Ricochet.

The stakes are high in this one. Whoever walks away with the win will secure the first spot in the AEW National Title Casino Gauntlet match at AEW Full Gear, which goes down Saturday, November 22. This marks a major opportunity for both men to reassert their dominance in AEW—and for Lashley, it’s another step in his post-WWE redemption arc.

AEW confirmed that Dynamite on November 19 will run for a full three hours as a lead-in to Full Gear, and the lineup is loaded. In addition to Lashley vs. Ricochet, here’s what else is on tap:

• ROH Women’s TV Title Unification Match: Red Velvet (c) vs. Mercedes Moné (ic)
• AEW Women’s Tag Title Tournament – First Round: Megan Bayne & Marina Shafir vs. TayJay (Tay Melo & Anna Jay)
• AEW Women’s Tag Title Tournament – First Round: Mina Shirakawa & “Timeless” Toni Storm vs. Riho & Alex Windsor
• Non-Title Match: AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page vs. Katsuyori Shibata
• Kenny Omega Returns
• Double Jeopardy Match: Kazuchika Okada vs. Mascara Dorada
• Casino Gauntlet Entry Match: Bobby Lashley vs. Ricochet

The Casino Gauntlet winner at Full Gear is expected to receive a shot at the AEW National Championship. With Lashley bringing power and aggression, and Ricochet known for his unreal aerial offense, this clash is guaranteed to turn heads.
