Michael Oku makes AEW in-ring debut in Dynamite dark match
Amid rumors that he is going to sign a contract with AEW, reigning RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion Michael Oku made his promotional in-ring debut Wednesday in a dark match.
Oku, accompanied by girlfriend and manager Amira Blair, defeated Serpentico prior to the Dynamite/Collision doubleheader taping happening in Cardiff, Wales, ahead of Sunday’s All In: London from Wembley Stadium.
Oku is a friend and former opponent of AEW roster member Will Ospreay who takes on American/International Champion MJF this Sunday at the pay-per-view. Earlier this month, Oku was defeated by MJF at a RevPro event and Ospreay made a surprise appearance to run MJF off after he threatened to deliver a Tiger Driver 91 to Blair after laying out Oku.
Asked recently about the aforementioned rumors, Oku said nothing is confirmed between the two sides but he would be open to debuting at Wembley Stadium. He said it was cool that the rumors exist and that people believe it could happen, and that he would like to work for AEW.
