Both men are coming off impressive outings at AEW\u2019s Revolution PPV last weekend. Allin, blew off his long-standing feud with Team Tazz, by teaming with Sting to beat Brian Cage &amp; Ricky Starks in a cinematic match that was the best I\u2019ve seen in the genre.<\/p>\n<p>Scorpio Sky on the other hand has mounted up an impressive record as a singles competitor in AEW. He was a feel good choice to win the Face of the Revolution Ladder match last weekend. Sky has had a long career as a singles wrestler on the independent scene and most notably as a member of the SCU tag team unit with Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian in ROH and AEW.<\/p>\n<p>Sky has always been a good in-ring performer dating back to when I would watch him in PWG in the mid 2000s. In AEW, he\u2019s gotten a chance to flourish. He\u2019s shown some personality doing guest commentary stints and he\u2019s won more than he\u2019s lost. The problem is he hasn\u2019t gotten over the hump yet and won the big one as a singles competitor.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Darby Allin nor Scorpio Sky can afford to lose on Dynamite. It\u2019s going to be interesting to see how AEW president and booker Tony Khan handles what I see to be a tough booking spot. Khan plans a lot of angles and storylines out well in advance, but I\u2019m interested to see what he does here.<\/p>\n<p>On the Revolution post-PPV media scrum, Allin was asked about facing Sky on Dynamite tonight and he took the opportunity to remind everyone that he\u2019s the TNT Champion and he wanted to get back to defending the title now that he had settled his feud with Team Tazz.<\/p>\n<p>Sky has gained momentum and had his momentum stalled during his AEW sting. Khan built him up as a challenger to the AEW Championship when Jericho held the title. Sky fell short, but since then he\u2019s been in the background quietly waiting for another chance, which came in the ladder match last weekend where he grabbed a symbolic brass ring to win the match.<\/p>\n<p>Something has to give tonight. I suspect Allin is going to defeat Sky given that he\u2019s coming off working a major program with String and Tazz, but where does that leave Sky going forward? He might not be a top tier singles wrestler, but clearly he\u2019s earned the trust of Khan to be put in big spots because he has delivered in the past. I just hope the match is designed to end in a way where both men have momentum going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Allin has a ton of momentum behind him right now, so losing the TNT Championship tonight doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense, but stalling Sky\u2019s momentum again with a loss to Allin doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense either. I\u2019ll be keeping a close eye on Allin vs. Sky tonight given the high stakes and I\u2019m excited to see where both men go from here.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2546024902\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>What do you see happening on Dynamite tonight?
