The second AEW clash between former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland and Ricochet will have big stakes on the line.
Made during a Strickland in-ring promo during Wednesday’s Dynamite, the two will go heads-up at next month’s Revolution pay-per-view from Los Angeles, California, with the winner earning a future AEW World title shot.
Ricochet interrupted Strickland and had no interest in facing him again as he said he’s pursuing gold. Prince Nana then said he talked to Tony Khan and the men agreed a rematch is needed with the winner becoming the number one contender to the title. Ricochet eventually agreed but wanted to do it in “a real California city” — that being Los Angeles.
After bloodying him with a pair of scissors in January, Ricochet defeated Strickland in early-February and subsequently stole Nana’s prize robe.
Here’s the current lineup for Sunday, March 9th:
- AEW World Champion Jon Moxley defends against Cope
