Another blockbuster match has just been added to the match card of AEW Dynasty, set to take place on April 21, 2024. This will feature a first-time-ever match between Samoa Joe and Swerve Strickland for the World Championship.
Earlier tonight on AEW Dynamite, Swerve faced Konosuke Takeshita in the main event in a match to decide the number one contender for the world title. Both men had an equal win-loss record, and tonight would be their tie-breaker.
It was a well-matched bout, as both men have had great momentum throughout 2024 so far. After a series of near falls and great spots, the leader of The Mogul Embassy hit a Swerve-stomp and immediately transitioned to his Big Pressure finisher, which would seal the deal and earn him a title shot at AEW Dynasty.
The match was immediately made official, and the graphic for their match at the pay-per-view was flashed on the big screen.
After the match, cameras panned to Samoa Joe for his comments on the two finally facing off in a singles match. He sent a stern warning to his challenger, as he wanted to prove to him that he wasn't the man and that he did not know what he was getting into.
