Two new matches official for AEW Grand Slam Australia
Next weekend’s AEW Grand Slam Australia continued to form with two new matches announced during Wednesday’s Dynamite.
After a wild brawl between the Death Riders and FTR, New Zealand native Jay White and Cope that started the show, White offered up a challenge for Brisbane where he and Cope face AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli in a “Brisbane Brawl.” Moxley accepted where as he earlier declined Cope’s World title challenge for Revolution.
The other new addition will see Australia native Buddy Matthews challenge reigning Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada. Matthews has been prodding Okada for a match for several weeks, finally irritating him enough to get Okada to accept.
The bout will be a rematch from their November 2021 meeting at NJPW Battle in the Valley.
The show is set for Saturday, February 15th and will air on tape delay that night following the NBA All-Star Weekend slam dunk and three point contest on TNT.
Here’s the current lineup:
- Kenny Omega & Will Ospreay vs. Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher
- AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada defends against Buddy Matthews
- AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May defends against Toni Storm
- Jay White & Cope vs. Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli in a Brisbane Brawl
