Before facing each other in a singles contest at Forbidden Door, Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay will come face-to-face on AEW Dynamite, this week in one of the headliner segments of the show. The segment has been announced on the card after the two confronted each other by the end of the latest bygone episode of AEW’s flagship show.
After Strickland said Ospreay couldn’t hold both the AEW World and International titles on his shoulders, Ospreay snatched the AEW World Title from Strickland and placed it on his shoulder to pose with both the belts. Strickland took the belt back, telling Ospreay he was still standing in the ring only because they were friends.
AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm has been announced to go through her next title defense at Forbidden Door 2024 against Mina Shirakawa. Now, the two will be signing on the dotted lines on AEW Dynamite to make the match official for the PPV.
