AEW Dynamite will air live tonight on TBS, from the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, MO.
Matt Jackson will reportedly be remaining on AEW television in some capacity moving forward, according to Fightful Select, despite the recent news that he suffered a partially torn bicep. The Elite member will obviously not be able to compete in matches for the foreseeable future due to his injury, but there are still plenty of ways the company could use him. Jackson is currently involved in a major storyline poised to reunite “Hangman” Adam Page with himself, his brother, and Kenny Omega, and he could end up appearing to continue that angle during his time on the shelf.
The injury took place during the AEW World Trios Championship match between the Young Bucks, the Jericho Appreciation Society, and the House of Black on March 15, which he worked through despite being hurt. Last week AEW ran an injury angle for The Young Bucks which saw them leave the arena in ambulances due to a backstage ambush, believed to be by the Blackpool Combat Club. Therefore, the company has a storyline reason to keep Jackson out of the ring that would allow him to turn up on television with his arm in a sling or brace.
It is also believed that Jackson is hoping to avoid surgery, which would mean a faster recovery time to get back into the ring, and is another reason why AEW might be keen to keep him on television. However, it remains to be seen how things will be handled regarding the overarching storyline between The Elite and Blackpool Combat Club, and when a match between the factions will be possible.

In recent weeks, it’s been reported that AEW is close to finalizing a new weekly television show that will air on Saturday nights.
It’s been strongly hinted by F4W’s Andrew Zarian that the show could air in the 6:05 pm EST timeslot, a welcomed timeslot for old-school WCW/NWA fans.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the Saturday show should be up and running by July:
“The schedule in June hasn’t been announced yet other than the Canadian shows so we don’t know if this (7/14 in Regina, Saskatchewan) is the first Saturday taping or the Saturday show will begin before this date. But the Saturday show is right now planned and unless something major changes it will be debuting at least by July if not earlier,” Meltzer wrote.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that White is in talks with AEW and WWE.
“Regarding Jay White, we are told that White has been talking to WWE but has not signed. He is also talking to AEW. From someone familiar with the situation they described it as 50/50 which side he would go with,” Meltzer wrote.

A triple champion across three promotions, Taya Valkyrie made her debut for AEW on Wednesday night’s episode of Dynamite, confronting reigning AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill.
Wednesday’s show saw Cargill successfully defend the TBS Championship against Nicole Matthews in a Canadian Open Challenge.
Following the match, Cargill asked if that was all Canada could offer, and this led to Valkyrie coming out to the ring.
Valkyrie got right in Cargill’s face, but the undefeated TBS Champion Cargill backed off. Leila Grey made an attempt to attack Valkyrie but got decimated by the decorated Canadian athlete. Cargill tried to brawl but was held back by Mark Sterling and the referees.
Following the segment, AEW President Tony Khan announced that Valkyrie has signed with the company.
Valkyrie currently holds the Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship, and the MLW Women’s Featherweight Championship.
