The winner will move on to face Jon Moxley this Wednesday on Dynamite in a semi-final match. Both Allin and Guevara qualified for the tournament to crown a new AEW World Champion by virtue of being for champions themselves. Allin defeated Cody Rhodes for the TNT Championship at Full Gear 2020 and held the title for 186 days, while Guevara is a three-time TNT Champion, having held the title for a combined 140 days. Neither man has captured AEW's top prize just yet. To get the opportunity to challenge for it, Allin and Guevara will have to get through each other first. Friday night's match will be the latest in a rivalry that started all the way back in 2017 before AEW's existence. Allin and Guevara met in promotions like AAA, Black Label Pro and Major League Wrestling before their first AEW match in 2019. Friday's match marks the 20th time the two have shared a ring.

In AEW, the edge is decidedly in Guevara's favour with a 5-2 record against Allin. They last
