Swerve Strickland kicked off tonight’s AEW Dynamite and said he felt the fans were really behind him for the first time ever at Revolution and promised that he will not let them down. Swerve promised to become AEW World Champion and put Samoa Joe on notice.
Joe then came out and Swerve challenged him to a World Title match right now. This led to Undisputed Kingdom coming out.
Adam Cole said no one will care about Swerve in 6 months and Joe is only champion because they let them. Cole said #1 contender Wardlow will become the next AEW World Champion and will then hand the title to its rightful owner – him.
Cole issued a challenge for next week – ROH Tag Team Champions Mike Bennett & Matt Taven vs. AEW World Champion Samoa Joe vs. Swerve Strickland.
Swerve said let’s do this match right now. Cole said Swerve doesn’t make the rules. Tony Schiavone interrupted and said he has received a message from Tony Khan, which is that this match is going to happen right now.
Swerve picked up the win for his team in this match. Wardlow came out after the match and Swerve started looking at him. This led to Joe locking in the Coquina Clutch on Swerve from behind and choked him out. Joe then posed with the AEW World Title.
All Elite Wrestling then announced Samoa Joe vs. Wardlow for the AEW World Championship on next week’s Big Business edition of AEW Dynamite.
AEW debuted a new set on tonight’s Dynamite:
During an interview with Sports Illustrated, Khan said the following about the new set:
“Tonight is the perfect time, especially coming off an amazing AEW Revolution. In many ways, it was the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.
Sting ended his phenomenal three-year run in AEW and the most iconic career in wrestling, going out on the highest of notes as an undefeated AEW Tag Team Champion.
So tonight is the start of a new era, and people are going to be very excited when they see this new set on Dynamite.”
