All Elite Wrestling has announced that next week's show will be a special Maximum Carnage episode of the show.

Most Embarrassing Wrestling Moments Ranked - Watch Here!

#3. Hangman Page to attack MJF

MJF is likely to be involved in the main event for the next edition of Dynamite. While he is set to face Bandido in an AEW World Title match, Maxwell Jacob Friedman is in a rivalry with several big names in the company. Therefore, one of them could attack The Salt of the Earth following his match on Maximum Carnage. Potentially, Hangman Page could attack MJF after this match next week.

The Cowboy might destroy Friedman in the center of the ring, blaming him for stealing his win at Worlds End. Such an angle could set up a potential rivalry between Page and MJF down the line in AEW. Many fans believe that Hangman and Maxwell have a lot of unfinished business in the company right now. Therefore, they deserve a proper singles match to wind up their rivalry in 2026.

#2. Mercedes Mone to deliver a raw promo on AEW Dynamite

Mercedes Mone lost her AEW TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale on last week's episode of Dynamite. It was a heartbreaking loss for The CEO as she was holding that title for more than 500 days in All Elite Wrestling. The former WWE star was visibly shaken after the show, as it marked another title loss for her in professional wrestling.

Therefore, Mone could deliver a raw promo on Dynamite next week to put the fans on notice. She could target the entire AEW women's division, vowing to regain her momentum in the company anyhow. Such an angle could mark the beginning of a much more intense version of Mercedes Mone in All Elite Wrestling, something that has been missing for a while.

#1. Former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley to confront Jon Moxley

Jon Moxley became the Continental Champion at Worlds End last week. It was a monumental victory, and now Moxley needs a credible feud to carry forward the momentum. Former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley might make his return next week at Maximum Carnage to shock the world and challenge the Death Rider for the newly won championship in the company.

Lashley is currently out due to a legitimate injury he sustained during his match at Full Gear in November. Tony Khan might bring back The All Mighty this week to put him against The Purveyor of Violence. A feud between two former WWE stars has the potential to be an all-timer for the company. Such a rivalry has the potential to elevate the prestige of the reintroduced Continental Championship.

Besides, a babyface version of Lashley taking on a babyface version of Moxley could be an entertaining feud for the All Elite fans.
