As Khan noted, Yuta pinned Kenny Omega in the Blackpool Combat Club vs. The Elite Anarchy in the Arena match that closed last month’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view in Las Vegas.
The feud between The Elite and The BCC will continue into July, as the two sides are set to square off in a Blood & Guts match on the July 19 Dynamite in Boston.
Three matches are now official for the July 5 Dynamite. The announced lineup:
- Blind Eliminator Tournament quarterfinals: Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland vs. Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin
- Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament quarterfinals: Britt Baker vs. Ruby Soho
- Kenny Omega vs. Wheeler Yuta
