AEW Dynamite Backstage News
Added 2024-07-25 02:18:07 +0000 UTCFightful Select reported on our discord that MJF would open the show, with Blood & Guts taking up most of the last hour.
Originally, Eddie Kingston was supposed to factor into the AEW vs. Elite story prior to his injury.
Dean Malenko narrated the main event video package. He had surgery last year to help with his Parkinson's, and many we've spoken to said he was like "a new man." He's widely adored backstage and known for his sense of humor.
Kamille's return was kept very quiet, and she's been under AEW contract and getting paid since February. She was backstage at AEW Dynamite in January, which led to contract talks, and her being signed shortly after. Graphics and materials for her debut have been ready for quite sometime.
Team AEW had been planned to win this match for quite some time, we're told, and could weigh into future stories. (EDIT: This was corrected from a typo. Team Elite was not planned to win)
AEW ended up outselling their last AEW Dynamite trip to Nashville this time around.

Not surprised that this show did better than the last one in Nashville. Promoting more than just a couple days in advance helps. Anyways, this was my first live AEW show and I had a great time! I honestly never thought that I'd get to see guys like Okada, Suzuki, Ishii, Shibata, and others in person.
