MJF to defend ROH tag titles in handicap match at AEW WrestleDream
The ROH Tag Team title match at WrestleDream is now a handicap match.
After Adam Cole revealed he would need surgery for a broken ankle on Wednesday’s Dynamite, he was about to announce they would have to vacate the ROH Tag Team titles when MJF cut him off. MJF told Cole that if it wasn’t for him, Cole would have never gotten injured and didn’t want to vacate the titles. He then announced he would face the Righteous in a handicap match at WrestleDream this Sunday.
Yuta challenged Starks to a match after confronting Starks on this week’s Dynamite. Yuta told Starks it was wrong of him to put his hands on Starks after the Texas Death match against Bryan Danielson on this past Saturday’s Collision, but told Starks that he was an “entitled prick”. Yuta then issued the challenge for WrestleDream, which was quickly made official by Tony Khan.
Here is the updated card for Sunday:
- Bryan Danielson vs. Zack Sabre Jr.
- Hangman Page vs. Swerve Strickland
- AEW Tag Team Champions FTR defend against Aussie Open
- ROH Tag Team Champion MJF defends against The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch) in a handicap match
