MJF & Samoa Joe to defend ROH Tag titles at AEW Dynamite New Year’s Smash
The ROH Tag Team titles will be on the line at AEW Dynamite New Year’s Smash on Wednesday, December 27.
MJF & Samoa Joe accepted a challenge from The Devil to defend the ROH Tag titles on next week’s Dynamite following a promo segment on this week’s show.
As MJF & Joe were in the ring, they were interrupted by The Devil’s masked henchmen. After fending the henchmen off, a message from The Devil played on the video wall challenging MJF to put the titles on the line next week. Joe accepted on MJF’s behalf, and will defend the titles with MJF in Adam Cole’s stead. MJF & Cole are the ROH Tag Team Champions, but Cole has been sidelined due to injury.
MJF defended the titles in a handicap match at the WrestleDream pay-per-view in October, and Joe also substituted for Cole in a successful title defense against The Gunns at the Full Gear Zero Hour pre-show in November.
The Continental Classic Gold League finals are also set for next week’s Dynamite, with Jon Moxley, Jay White, and Swerve Strickland squaring off in a three-way. The winner will advance to the Continental Classic finals at Worlds End.
The Continental Classic Blue League finals will also be held on the New Year’s Smash episode of Dynamite.
The Dynamite New Year’s Smash lineup to this point:
- Continental Classic Gold League finals: Jon Moxley vs. Jay White vs. Swerve Strickland
- Continental Classic Blue League finals: TBD vs. TBD
- MJF & Samoa Joe defend the ROH Tag Team Championship
