AEW Dynamite preview (July 22, 2026): AEW has put Darby Allin in an impossible situation

AEW Dynamite airs tonight (July 22) with a live show emanating from The Pinnacle in Nashville, Tennessee. This is the final episode of Dynamite during the four week build to Redemption, which takes place on Sunday (July 26). AEW has put Darby Allin in an impossible situation Darby Allin is an insane person who has been trying to blow up Kevin Knight ever since the guy turned on him a couple months ago. Darby’s risky stunts were going to continue until he got a shot at Knight’s TNT championship. Those babyface tactics worked, and now Darby is getting his title match tonight on Dynamite. He celebrated the occasion by using a flamethrower to set a car on fire with the words ‘Kevin needs to be humbled.’ That’s where the good news ends for Allin. The bad news is that this is an impossible match to win, because Knight happens to be main eventing the Redemption pay-per-view in a match against AEW World Champion Kenny Omega. It’s booking malpractice for Knight to lose his title on the go home
