MMA Fight, Andrade Interview Highlight Next Friday's AEW Dynamite
Plus the first-ever match for a second-generation wrestler
An MMA fight, an interview with Andrade, and the debut of a second generation wrestler, comprise next Friday night's AEW Dynamite card.
As part of the Inner Circle vs. Pinnacle "individual match" challenges, Jake Hager called out Wardlow several weeks ago for an MMA fight. On this week's Dynamite, Wardlow accepted the challenge, and two will square off in an MMA-rules cage fight on the June 18 broadcast.
Also on next week's card, as part of the ongoing feud between The Nightmare Family and The Factory, QT Marshall and Aaron Solow will take on Cody Rhodes and the debuting Brock Anderson, the son of Arn. The younger Anderson has legitimately been training with Rhodes and Marshall, and this will be his first ever match.
In addition, Andrade el Idolo makes his next AEW appearance, via a sitdown interview with Jim Ross.
The full card for next Friday night's AEW Dynamite includes:
* MMA Fight: Jake Hager vs. Wardlow
* Eddie Kingston, Penta El Zero Miedo, and Frankie Kazarian vs. Matt Jackson, Doc Gallows, and Karl Anderson
* Cody Rhodes and Brock Anderson vs. QT Marshall and Aaron Solow
* Handicap match: Darby Allin vs. Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page
