AEW will once again hold an unsanctioned lights out match, this time as a first-ever main event on Dynamite and for the first time, it will feature women.
On next week s St. Patrick s Day Slam edition of Dynamite, Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker will go to battle to continue a rivalry that has been raging for months. On Wednesday s show, Baker once again left Rosa unconscious with her Lockjaw submission and will look go to 2-0 in singles action against the former NWA Women s Champion.
This will be the third such match in company history as Kenny Omega has been involved in two (Joey Janela on the second-ever Dark, Jon Moxley at Full Gear 2020).

According to Dave Meltzer in this week s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Impact Wrestling s first pay-per-view of 2021 Hard to Kill brought in the company s second-highest PPV buys since the company lost their Spike TV deal in 2014.
Meltzer didn t report the actual number, but said last July s Slammiversary, which was built around the surprise appearances of former WWE wrestlers on the show, has the number one spot.
The January 16th show featured the in-ring debut of AEW World Champion Kenny Omega as part of an AEW/Impact angle that began in December after Omega won the title with Don Callis help. Omega teamed with Impact Tag Team Champions the Good Brothers against Impact World Champion Rich Swann, Moose and Chris Sabin, picking up the win.

Impact on AXS TV kicked off with highlights of last week s episode.
Ace Austin vs. Black Taurus vs. Chris Bey to earn an X-Division Championship Match.
Ace and Bey attacked Taurus at the bell, double teaming him. They took turns using their boots to try and wear him down in the corner. They whip Taurus into the corner but Taurus turned the tide, powerslamming Bey into Austin in the corner. Bey and Austin cut him off and nailed a double dropkick to the head. Taurus went to the floor but they nailed a stereo tope suicida on him. They agreed to face off and entered the ring, squaring off.
