MJF, Dante Martin win AEW Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale

MJF and Dante Martin were the final two participants in the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale on tonight’s AEW Dynamite. They will now face off in a singles match at next week’s Winter is Coming Dynamite episode to determine who will hold the Dynamite Diamond ring for the next year. 

MJF and Martin outlasted a field that included Matt Hardy, Jay Lethal, Frankie Kazarian, Lio Rush, Matt Sydal, Wardlow, Lee Moriarty, Lee Johnson, plus Team Taz’s Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs. 

Martin’s alliance with Team Taz appears to be over, as he eliminated Starks from the Battle Royale. The final three in the match were MJF, Martin and Starks. After eliminating Starks, Martin removed his FTW arm band. Starks and Martin then brawled after the match, with MJF and  CM Punk also involved in the melee. 

MJF has won the Dynamite Diamond in both years of its existence, and now has a shot to win it a third time.
