Swerve Strickland defeats Konosuke Takeshita to earn a shot at Samoa Joe's AEW World Title at Dynasty
Swerve Strickland managed to get Samoa Joe to cave and accept his AEW World Championship challenge, but Don Callis threw a wrench into those plans by putting up Konosuke Takeshita as the real next contender. That put one more hurdle in front of Swerve to attain that shot at the Title and tonight he would look to clear it and move one major step closer to Championship gold.
"I really feel like this changes the perception of AEW," Swerve said."I feel like when you have an Ospreay, someone I've been wrestling since he was 19, Okada, Mercedes, this is the perfect time for the perception and just the momentum shift to happen."
