AEW Dynamite preview: Kevin Knight vs Jericho and Continental Cup first round in Las Vegas on Aug. 12
AEW's August 12, 2026 edition of Dynamite will be held live at the Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring AEW TNT Champion Kevin Knight defending his title against Jericho and a three-way between Nick Wayne, MJF and Speedball Mike Bailey for a Casino Gauntlet spot. The show airs live in the United States at 8/7c on the TBS Network and HBO Max.
Last week's Dynamite was the TV special Grand Slam Mexico 2026, and the August 12 episode returns as part of the promotion's build toward AEW All In. The card announced for Las Vegas includes Continental Cup first-round matches and bouts intended to finalize spots in the All In Casino Gauntlet.
MJF, Nick Wayne and Speedball Mike Bailey are scheduled to compete in a three-way match for the number 2 spot in the Casino Gauntlet match at AEW All In London, with the promotion billing the bout as a guaranteed path to that Gauntlet slot. The match is listed among the high-stakes showdowns advertised for Dynamite on Wednesday.
Two first-round matches in the 2026 Continental Cup tournament are on the card: Jon Moxley versus “Jungle” Jack Perry, and Jay White versus David Finlay. The promotion described the Jay White–David Finlay meeting as the culmination of a years-long feud and classified both contests as opening-round Continental Cup matches.
AEW TNT Champion Kevin Knight is scheduled to put the title on the line against Jericho on the August 12 broadcast. That title defence is one of several matches announced to advance storylines and determine placements on the All In card.
Fans in the United States can watch Wednesday Night AEW Dynamite live on the TBS Network and HBO Max; the promotion noted that telecast details vary for international viewers. The promotion also circulated social updates promoting the Las Vegas show and its role in the run-up to All In.
