Wrestling fans were buzzing with excitement when news broke of Nick Wayne's AEW debut. Son of the late Buddy Wayne, Nick signed with Tony Khan's promotion last February and is set to take on Swerve Strickland on the July 12 edition of Dynamite.
The match has been highly anticipated ever since Strickland called out Wayne following his defeat to him at the April 8 DEFY Wrestling event. The two are 1-1 against each other, making the upcoming match all the more intriguing.
Nick Wayne signed an apprenticeship deal with All Elite Wrestling when he was just 16 years old, showcasing his potential from an early age. He was even front row on a Dynamite episode in Seattle in January to witness Darby Allin winning the TNT Championship.

Saraya says Tony Khan's recent signing is gonna be the next big thing in AEW

Saraya spoke about the AEW women's division in a recent interview with Josh Martinez on his Superstar Crossover podcast. She said that the Chicago-born wrestler Skye Blue was the 'next big thing' and praised her boundless energy.
I feel like Skye Blue is gonna be the next big thing, too. She's growing and evolving, although we have to calm her down with wanting to take so many bumps where me and Ruby are just like, 'chill sister,'" Saraya said.
