There are nine bouts on the card at the moment. AEW could add a few more fighters by having the House of Black defend the AEW World Trios Championship against the Acclaimed & Billy Gunn, Swerve Strickland v Keith Lee, and Ricky Starks v “Switchblade” Jay White rematch. Watch out for Hook replacing Kassidy after that brutal attack on Brother Zay.
Assessing the title fights, it appears there won’t be any new champions on this card. That’s not to say it’s a bad outcome necessarily, but some paying viewers may find it lacking. Most likely MJF will stay champion and no one is expecting a new world champion to emerge; that would be an unexpected twist in AEW history. It looks like Jamie Hayter should keep her belt against Toni Storm if she isn’t concealing an injury, though the real money match could be between Hayter and Saraya at All In in Wembley Stadium on August 27.
