Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet booked for AEW Dynamite next month
Swerve Strickland and Ricochet will lock horns in Georgia on AEW Dynamite next month.
Strickland, the former AEW World Champion, will face Ricochet in singles competition on the Wednesday, February 5 Dynamite in College Park, Georgia.
The bout stems from an attack on the January 1 Dynamite where Ricochet stabbed Strickland with a pair of golden scissors.
The match was officially announced for February 5 during this week’s Maximum Carnage special episode of Dynamite. On this week’s show, Ricochet came to the ring for a promo to explain his attack on Strickland, but was attacked from behind y Strickland’s manager Prince Nana, who laid Ricochet out with a chair.
Strickland then made his way into the arena to finish Ricochet off, but Ricochet bailed.
Ricochet and Strickland have met twice before in singles competition, both times in 2017 — once at a WrestleMania weekend Wrestling Revolver indie show, and the other in an October MLW bout at One-Shot.
