With the next pay-per-view scheduled more than a month later on the calendar, AEW Summer Blockbuster will be waiting for the fans, next week. This marks another themed Dynamite episode on AEW programming for a second straight week as they ran the annual Fyter Fest edition, last night, where multiple matches have been announced for the June 12 show.

The possible headliner match of AEW Summer Blockbuster will see the former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland taking on Will Ospreay. After expressing differences, last week, Ospreay was talking with Tony Schiavone in the opening slot of Fyter Fest. He said he’s been a longtime friend of Strickland and was making an attempt to make him ally against Jon Moxley’s Death Riders faction.

He took a shot at Moxley and his run as AEW World Champion, mentioning that Death Riders are the biggest threat to Adam Page claiming the world title. Given Strickland’s history with Page, the animosity was also noted by him in the promo before Ospreay called out Strickland for a fight at AEW Summer Blockbuster. It will be a rematch from last year’s Forbidden Door when Strickland successfully defended his AEW World title against Ospreay.

This match was set up, last week after Hart attacked Mina Shirakawa in the ring after the latter’s match, forcing Storm to come out for the save.
