Brian Cage, Bandido advance in AEW World title eliminator tournament

Brian Cage and Bandido have advanced in the AEW World title eliminator tournament.

Cage defeated Dante Martin on Friday’s Rampage to advance after hitting Martin with Weapon X. Bandido defeated Rush after John Silver of the Dark Order came out to ringside, distracting Rush long enough for Bandido to score the rollup win.

The winner of Friday’s match between Cage and Martin is set to take on the winner of a match between Lance Archer and Ricky Starks. However, Starks was taken out in an angle that aired on social media, with AEW later announcing the match wouldn’t take place on Friday’s show. It is currently not known when the Starks/Archer match will take place.

Ethan Page was the first to advance in the tournament, defeating Eddie Kingston. He will face Bandido on next week’s Dynamite.

The winner of the tournament, which will be determined at Full Gear on November 19, will receive an AEW World title match at the Winter is Coming Dynamite special, which will air on December 14.
