Swerve Strickland vs. Killswitch announced for AEW Dynamite
The AEW World Champion will be in action on Wednesday.
Swerve Strickland vs. Killswitch in a non-title match has been announced for the show. Strickland is coming off having defeated Killswitch’s mentor and leader of the Patriarchy, Christian Cage, at Double or Nothing on Sunday.
Tony Khan announced the news on Tuesday. The match graphic he posted includes a promotion for HBO’s House of the Dragon season two, which debuts on Max next month.
AEW also promoted the debut of House of the Dragon season one in 2022 as well. On the August 17 edition of Dynamite that year, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat served as guest timekeeper for the show. The main event was also billed as “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson vs. “The Dragon Slayer” Daniel Garcia.
Also announced for Wednesday’s show is Chris Jericho debuting a new interview segment titled, “TV Time with The Learning Tree Chris Jericho.”
Only one other match is confirmed for Wednesday thus far, a Casino Gauntlet match to determine who challenges for the AEW World Championship at Forbidden Door on June 30.
AEW on TNT also posted to social media that we will “get answers” from Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway on the show after they turned on Willow Nightingale at Double or Nothing. ROH Women’s World Champion Athena also seems to be upset with Nightingale.
