AEW DYNAMITE PREVIEW 8/24: Major world title unification match leads important night

This week’s AEW Dynamite will be remembered for quite sometime.

The show emanates from Cleveland and features the biggest television match in company history with C.M. Punk vs. Jon Moxley for the Undisputed AEW World Championship. Punk won the world title at Double or Nothing, but has not defended it due to being out of action with a foot injury that required surgery. With Punk out, Moxley won the Interim World Championship in a match against Hiroshi Tanahashi at Forbidden Door. Punk and Moxley traded verbal insults in a promo last week and then brawled with one another before being broken up by security. This is the first AEW match between both men.
