AEW returned to Glasgow, Scotland for the August 26 edition of Dynamite, the final show before the Wembley Stadium show.
Taking over the OVO Hydro for the second year in a row, Dynamite heavily focused on the final build to All In on August 30. As well as an appearance by Will Ospreay ahead of his match with Kenny Omega on Sunday, the finals of the Continental Challenge Cup were determined. Fans also saw a live appearance from Cope and Cage, and more names were added to the Casino Gauntlet.
The show was pre-taped ahead of time due to the time difference. However, due to media rights agreements, Dynamite did not air until the usual time, which is 1 am in the UK. Additionally, Collision was taped after Dynamite went off the air and will air on August 29.
Excalibur and Tony Schiavone were on commentary for the show.
