Fightful has shared some backstage news and notes from last week’s AEW shows.
AEW International Champion Will Ospreay, who is also the #1 contender for the AEW World Title, is taking a week off after an intense schedule involving AEW Double or Nothing 2024, Dynamite, and the Collision TV tapings.
Ospreay is expected to return next week. He is slated to challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Title at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 later this month.
Dr. Britt Baker was present in Los Angeles last week, coinciding with the AEW Dynamite TV tapings at the KIA Forum. However, it is unclear whether she was backstage at Dynamite.
Moreover, Lio Rush made a surprise appearance in the Casino Gauntlet Match during the post-Double or Nothing edition of AEW Dynamite. While AEW is open to utilizing Rush in the future, there are no definitive plans regarding his next appearance.
