The AEW Continental Classic Tournament 2023 continued on this week’s episode of Dynamite with multiple matches happening on the show. In the opening match of the edition, Swerve Strickland bounced back from his loss to Moxley, last week, with a win over RUSH. After getting hit with a 450-splash, RUSH kicked out at the count of one and hit him back with a flurry of strikes. Strickland eventually connected with a Swerve Stomp on RUSH to secure the position.
In the next match of the AEW Continental Classic Tournament 2023, Jay Lethal and Mark Briscoe squared off, with both men looking for the first victory of the ongoing league. They can’t now head on to the league finals but Briscoe ultimately prevailed to gain some pride by hitting the J-Driller on Lethal to receive the win. After the match, the two also shook hands to show respect for each other.
