Rick Ross to mediate Swerve, Keith Lee face-to-face on AEW Dynamite
Rick Ross will mediate the face-to-face meeting between Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland on Wednesday’s Dynamite.
Tony Khan announced Ross’ inclusion on Tuesday afternoon.
“Tomorrow on @TBSNetwork don’t miss Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite: Holiday Bash!,” he wrote. “We’ll be celebrating Wednesday with our annual #HolidayBash just days before Christmas, a great night of AEW stars & great wrestling + @RickRoss will mediate the meeting between Keith Lee and Swerve!”
Though their partnership has always been tenuous, Swerve and Lee have shown even more dissension as a team since Full Gear, when Keith Lee walked out of their match against The Acclaimed, which allowed The Acclaimed to pick up the victory. At ROH Final Battle earlier this month, it was Swerve who walked out on Lee during their match against Shane Taylor and JD Griffey. Despite that, Lee was still able to score the win.
Here’s the updated lineup for Wednesday’s show:
- AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter defends against Hikaru Shida
- FTR vs. Gunn Club
- Death Triangle vs. The Elite in a no DQ match (match 5 in the best of 7 series for the AEW Trios titles)
- Swerve Strickland/Keith Lee face-to-face with Rick Ross mediating
- Bryan Danielson appearance
- Ricky Starks appearance
