TNT Championship match: Darby Allin (c) (w/ Sting) vs. Mike Bennett (w/ Maria Kanellis and Matt Taven) - When Darby Allin first won the TNT Championship from Cody Rhodes in November of 2020, he successfully defended it nine times before dropping it to Miro in the spring of 2021. Now the TNT Champion again after defeating Samoa Joe in his hometown of Seattle on this past Wednesday's Dynamite, Allin intends to be a fighting champion once more and will make the first defence of his second reign against The Kingdom's Mike Bennett. Bennett will be making his AEW singles debut. While an IWGP, ROH and Impact World Tag Team Champion alongside Matt Taven, Bennett's singles credentials shouldn't be overlooked. The cagey veteran is a former TNA X-Division Champion having defeated Eddie Edwards for the title. Bennett also holds wins over the likes of Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly and Shelton Benjamin. He'd like nothing more to capture gold in his AEW solo debut. Allin and Bennett have never shared a ring before. Will Allin start off his second reign on a winning note or will Bennett end it before it even begins?
