On October 2, 2019, from the Captial One Arena in Washington, D.C., the first episode of AEW Dynamite took place. The show kicked off with Cody Rhodes facing Sammy Guevara, Riho and Nyla Rose met to determine the inaugural Women's Champion, and the main event featured The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho, Santana, and Ortiz.

Five years later to the day, the signature program for All Elite Wrestling is still going strong. To mark the occasion, the five-year anniversary commences from the Peterson Events Center in Pittsburgh, PA with a historic main event as AEW Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson battles AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada in a title vs. title match. But there's catch. Okada's belt will only be on the line for 20 minutes as that's the set time limit for those title defenses.

Danielson and Okada locked horns for the first time in June 2023 at Forbidden Door, with the former winning despite breaking his arm earlier in the bout. The rematch occurred in January at Wrestle Kingdom. This time, Okada won in one of the best matches of 2024. A Danielson loss and he will be forced to retire.

Be sure to check back for updates as more matches are announced leading up to the event.
