Tonight’s the last stop before Redemption, and the card screams go-home desperation. Kevin Knight’s got a TNT Championship defense against Darby Allin mere days before challenging Kenny Omega for the World title in Montreal β so either Knight’s walking in bulletproof or Dynamite blows the whole angle wide open. The six-man with Omega and Ospreay against the Don Callis Family is there to remind everyone why these teams matter when it counts.
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight (c) vs. Darby Allin
Knight’s supposed to be prepping for the biggest match of his career, but Darby’s not here to be a tune-up. This is the classic go-home setup where either Knight looks untouchable heading into Sunday or eats a shocking loss that tanks the World title program. Allin’s nothing if not capable of destroying a narrative.
WAW Pick: Knight retains, but not cleanly β Omega or someone from his camp gets involved to protect the narrative.
Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay & Jon Moxley vs. Don Callis Family (Brian Cage, Hechicero & Jake Doyle)
This is the pre-PPV flex match. Ospreay’s a surgical striker, Moxley brings the crunch, and Omega’s the glue. The Callis Family’s job is to make them sweat enough that Sunday feels dangerous without anyone actually taking a fall.
WAW Pick: Omega’s crew wins in under 12 minutes with a clean finish to build momentum into Redemption.
