Ricky Starks will defend the FTW Championship on the July 20 episode of AEW Dynamite.
On the “Fyter Fest Week 2” edition of the show, Cole Karter will challenge for the gold. Karter is formerly known as “Two Dimes” Troy Donovan, who was a member of Tony D’Angelo’s family in WWE NXT 2.0. WWE released Donovan in June due to a policy violation. He competed on the AEW Dark tapings on July 16.
