Card change set for tonight’s AEW Dynamite
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A 14-man tag-team match set for tonight’s broadcast of AEW Dynamite is facing a slight revision.
The match, featuring all seven members of the Inner Circle against three tag teams and Brandon Cutler, would receive a revision around 3:36 p.m. Eastern time.
Due to a family matter, Inner Circle member Wardlow was unable to travel to Jacksonville. However, the other six members will still be able to participate. Those members are Chris Jericho, MJF, Santana, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara, and Jake Hager.
As a result, Best Friends, Top Flight, and Varsity Blondes will still participate in this match. However, Brandon Cutler has been cut from the match.
