Blackpool Combat Club vs. LIJ six-man tag added to AEW Dynamite
Members of the Blackpool Combat Club and Los Ingobernables de Japon are squaring off on Dynamite.
Tony Khan announced on social media that Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli will face the LIJ team of Shingo Takagi, Hiromu Takahashi, and Titan of CMLL on Dynamite. This comes just days before Moxley is set to defend the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against LIJ member Tetsuya Naito at Forbidden Door. Bryan Danielson, who will face Takagi at Forbidden Door, will be on commentary.
The BCC in recent weeks have been scoring wins as a team, defeating opponents from both NJPW and CMLL. However, Castagnoli came up short against PAC in a Owen Hart Foundation tournament match on Dynamite last week. After the match, he yelled at Danielson at ringside before walking away.
Tony Khan also announced we’ll be hearing from Mercedes Mone on the program:
