Blood & Guts Participants To Be Revealed
On July 19, The Elite & Blackpool Combat Club will clash in the most violent setting available in AEW, Blood & Guts. However, injuries and more have led to both of these factions meeting one more partner before stepping inside of the double-ring steel cage at the TD Garden in Boston Massachusetts. Fans will be waiting with bated breath to see who will round out both teams and these members will be revealed on July 12, just in time to give fans one week to ponder all of the possibilities for the upcoming clash in what will be a match beyond normal limits.
Nick Wayne Debuts Against A Very Ready Swerve Strickland
18-year-old wrestling prodigy Nick Wayne makes his AEW debut against Swerve Strickland. While some in the audience may not be familiar with Wayne’s meteoric rise in wrestling, Swerve is very familiar with Wayne and what he can do between the ropes. You only get a one shot at a first impression and Nick Wayne is looking to completely blow the AEW fans away. Strickland, however, is looking to rebound after a major loss last week in the Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament and has no problems about taking his anger out on the young Wayne.
Who will stand tall and just what is next for Nick Wayne? AEW Dynamite on July 12 will provide answers to these questions and more.
Chris Jericho Clashes With Komander

Jericho is at a crossroads in his career with the Chris Jericho Appreciation Society’s future uncertain and a spot to join Don Callis’ family, Jericho will tap into a staple of his time in WCW and compete against a thriving luchador to gain momentum. The next chapter in the book of Jericho will be written on July 12.
