Summary

AEW has added three featured items to the April 8 episode of Dynamite. Chris Jericho is scheduled to address his return, Queen Aminata is set for her first match since October 2025 when she challenges Willow Nightingale for the AEW TBS Championship, and Darby Allin, Brody King, and Jack Perry will face Konosuke Takeshita, Mark Davis, and Andrade El Idolo in trios action.

Jericho's appearance follows his return on Dynamite in Winnipeg, where he made his first AEW television appearance in nearly a year and told the crowd, "Winnipeg! AEW! I'm home" before leaving.

Updated lineup for April 8 Dynamite

The current announced lineup for the April 8 show is:

  • Chris Jericho to address his return
  • AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Queen Aminata
  • Darby Allin, Brody King, and Jack Perry vs. Konosuke Takeshita, Mark Davis, and Andrade El Idolo

Queen Aminata and the TBS title picture

Queen Aminata's return immediately drops her back into a meaningful spot, because her first match back is a title shot against Willow Nightingale. That gives the TBS championship scene a fresh challenger right away while also putting a spotlight on Aminata's status after months out with a neck injury.

Jericho being booked to speak one week after his comeback suggests AEW is ready to move past the surprise return itself and start defining what his next on-screen direction will be.
