Tonight's AEW Dynamite is set to be a key episode as the company prepares to go to the UK for next week's All In go-home shows, and the second annual All In pay-per-view from Wembley Stadium. Bully Ray has just offered the company some important advice ahead of tonight's show.
Swerve Strickland is set to be in non-title action on tonight's Dynamite, less than two weeks before he heads to All In to defend the AEW World Championship against Bryan Danielson in a Career vs. Title match. He will face Wheeler Yuta, who is set to have The American Dragon in his corner. The company released a poster for tonight's show, but Bubba Ray Dudley has some issues with the presentation.
Bully took to X today to critique the Dynamite promotional poster, suggesting they feature Strickland more prominently so that he stands out. The WWE Hall of Famer stressed the importance of perception, adding that he's just trying to help. It should be noted that AEW has never used "Heavyweight" in its championship billings:
"Hi #AEW Pls position your WHC more prominently. Its looks like he's just another wrestler in just another match on this poster. Also, WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION should be in a larger, bold font. PERCEPTION!! As always, just trying to help," Bully Ray wrote.
Bully has never worked with All Elite Wrestling and has not appeared for ROH since Tony Khan bought the company. However, the ECW Original often shares thoughts and advice on the All Elite product and recently made a pitch with Khan.
Bryan Danielson confirmed for AEW Dynamite role
Bryan Danielson has been confirmed to be at ringside during tonight's non-title match between Wheeler Yuta and Swerve Strickland on AEW Dynamite.
The American Dragon had been rumored to be in Yuta's corner or on commentary, but now it's been announced that he will be at ringside. There will also be a special tribute for Danielson. Below is the updated lineup for tonight's Dynamite:
- We will hear from Hook
