As we all know, if AEW hits on a hot angle or books a must-see match, those ticket sales will likely be a lot higher than what Meltzer is predicting. That then leads to the big question of what match will main event the show? Now that he’s back in action, all signs point to Will Ospreay not only being in the main event, but also challenging for the AEW Men’s World Championship. As for who Ospreay could face, two names are currently leading the race.

MJF will defend the AEW Men’s World Championship against Kenny Omega at Dynasty on April 12, with the winner of that match looking to be the man who will main event Wembley Stadium. Picking between MJF and Omega is interesting for Meltzer because they both have pros and cons. Meltzer mentioned that a lot of the core AEW fanbase are leaning more towards Ospreay facing Omega, with the two men already having two matches under their belt in recent years, and a trilogy match taking place on AEW’s biggest stage makes a lot of sense. Plus, the matches at Wrestle Kingdom and Forbidden Door 2023 are considered to be two of the best matches of the 21st century by those fans.

On the other hand, Meltzer feels like AEW’s business is improving so much that it almost feels too early to take the title away from MJF at this point, and perhaps shifting the title away from MJF in the summer might create more excitement if that’s the direction AEW want to go in. Ospreay and MJF did face each other at Wembley Stadium in 2024, albeit with MJF’s AEW American/International Championship on the line, so the idea of running it back for the top prize in the company is one that could make more sense business wise.

Overall, Meltzer understands that AEW will go with whatever the company believes will shift more tickets and tell a better story. Omega has not wrestled a major singles match at Wembley while MJF has main evented the show before, and with Omega’s life-threatening battle with diverticulitis still not fully explored, all eyes will be on the main event of Dynasty to see what happens next.

Oba Femi is currently preparing to face Brock Lesnar in a highly-anticipated bout at WWE WrestleMania 42, so the wrestler has been doing plenty of press to promote the match. During a recent interview with SHAK Wrestling, Femi took aim at an old NXT rival when asked who he’d like to face in a dumpster match.

“Trick Williams,” Femi answered. “I think I owe Trick one, after everything we’ve been through in NXT. We never really got that one-on-one, ‘Let’s settle this beef,’ kind of match. So I think Trick Williams is the one I’m most willing to throw inside a trash can dumpster.”

Femi also pointed to Dominik Mysterio as someone who likely deserves the dumpster, though the two of them have yet to have any substantial onscreen interaction. It seems that Mysterio just has that effect on people, even from afar.

As for the rivalry between Femi and Williams, it dates back to early last year, when Femi won the NXT Championship in a Triple Threat involving Eddy Thorpe and Williams, who had been champion heading into the bout. Their last singles match took place in September, with Femi’s NXT title and Williams’ TNA World Championship on the line. However, it ended with a No Contest ruling after members of the TNA roster got involved in the match, leaving the issues between Femi and Williams unresolved.

Both are now on WWE’s main roster, making another clash between the two not only possible but likely. Right now, Williams is firmly on the “WWE SmackDown” roster, while Femi has made appearances on both “SmackDown” and “WWE Raw” in the lead-up to his match against Lesnar next month.

Edge made WWE history when he won the first-ever Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania 21, then cemented his spot at the top when he cashed in the contract on WWE Champion John Cena at New Year’s Revolution in January 2006. The “Rated R Superstar” called his shot after Cena successfully defended his title in an Elimination Chamber match against Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Kane, Carlito, and Chris Masters. Masters, who had his first run in WWE from 2005 to 2007, recalled on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” how no one knew that Edge would cash-in after their match.

“Honestly, none of us knew about Edge coming out after. None of us knew. I mean, Shawn probably knew, I guess,” he explained. “I just remember that day, Carlito just being kind of like, just thinking the finish was odd, because it just would have been a roll-up. Cena just rolls up Carlito, that’s it. He just kept saying, ‘Something’s not right…’ Then we’re out there, and Vince [McMahon] comes out, and then Edge. I didn’t suspect anything. I don’t even know if I thought about it, but Carli knew something was off.”

Masters said that he thinks the less people who know, the better, especially nowadays. He said it’s not about being secretive or disrespectful, but rather, the less people knowing is good, because everything gets reported now, especially with the rise of social media.

Current ROH Men’s World Champion Bandido has not been seen in AEW since his loss to Andrade El Idolo at AEW Revolution on March 15, and the question of when fans might see him at any sort of event is a bit more complicated than originally thought.

Bandido has recently had to cancel a number of independent appearances across the United States, and according to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, that is down to a visa issue that has yet to be taken care of. However, it’s currently unknown how long that issue will take to be remedied due to President Donald Trump’s recent ruling where visas for athletes competing in the United States from countries that aren’t usually issued visas now being allowed, something that was introduced to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. All major sport leagues in the United States fall all under this ruling, including AEW, WWE, and UFC, and while this ruling doesn’t seem to apply to those coming from Mexico, Bandido’s future in the United States is currently unknown as the visa process has become a lot more complicated than what it used to be.

With all that said, there is a chance that AEW fans could see Bandido in the coming weeks thanks to the fact that all of the company’s shows in the first half of April take place in Canada, somewhere Bandido would be allowed to perform even without a visa. This does mean that Bandido would in theory be able to perform at the upcoming Dynasty pay-per-view on April 12 in Vancouver, but outside of the brief window in April, AEW’s next show outside of the United States that has been officially announced is All In London at Wembley Stadium on August 30. It’s unlikely AEW would want to wait that long to bring Bandido back into the fold, but as previously mentioned, it’s unknown when this visa issue will be sorted out.
