AEW fans in Columbia, South Carolina are in for a treat tonight. Tony Khan has announced two huge matchups for this week’s episode of Dynamite. CM Punk and Jon Moxley will both be in singles action on the show.
Khan first announced that Moxley will take on Jay Lethal on the show. The AEW boss emphasized that the bout is between two former world champions. This will be among Lethal’s most high-profile matches since signing with the company.
The other announced matchup will pit CM Punk against “Platinum” Max Caster. Max has become famous for his searing entrance raps. CM Punk is no stranger to a microphone, either.

Dynamite airs on TBS at 8 PM eastern. This looks to be another excellent card. A new arrival and the start of the Owen Hart tournament should add some intrigue to the show, as well.
