AEW Dynamite Preview: October 21, 2026
Will Ospreay and Adam Copeland will team up on Wednesday's episode of Dynamite in Coral Gables. They are set to face Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight in a tag team match.
Ilja Dragunov is scheduled to make his AEW in-ring debut on the same show. He will take on Speedball Mike Bailey.
Copeland had difficulty for much of the Clockwork Carnage match on Saturday but managed to tie the score with only seconds remaining. Ospreay then used a hidden blade on him and scored the final pinfall to secure the victory.
Following that match, Ospreay spoke with Copeland backstage. He expressed that having Copeland in the match meant a great deal to him and indicated interest in facing Copeland before his retirement next year.
Dragunov made his AEW debut at WrestleDream where he was introduced to the live crowd. Tony Khan later confirmed his in-ring debut for the upcoming Wednesday episode after Dragunov took part in a media session.
