The main event of AEW Dynamite tonight had huge implications for the World Championship picture of the promotion. MJF currently has three former World Champions sniffing around his title.

All of Hangman Page, Swerve Strickland, and Kenny Omega are looking to get back to their days of glory, while the newest member of the Don Callis Family, Andrade El Idolo, looks to cement himself in the promotion by becoming the top champion.

The main event of AEW Dynamite saw Andrade El Idolo took on Swerve Strickland, with the winner earning a clash against Kenny Omega next week. On a night where the Don Callis Family struggled, Andrade looked to be the shinning light.

Andrade picks up a huge win on AEW Dynamite

Both these men put on an amazing show for the fans in Austin, Texas, as both men competed in a hard-hitting clash, as they left no stone unturned to pick up the win.

Andrade managed to sneak another picture with a fan between the match, just like he did during Collision, before going on to dominate the fight. Swerve tried to hit Andrade with a piledriver on the barricade, but El Idolo reversed the move, lost his footing while doing so, and ended up injuring himself as well.

Swerve seemed to have won the match following that after he hit a House Call on Andrade, but El Idolo kicked out just in time. It was Swerve who then kicked out just in time after being hit by running knees in the corner and the Hammerlock DDT. ‘

Andrade distracted the referee as Swerve was going for the Big Pressure and hit a low blow on Swerve behind the referee’s back. He followed that up with the elevated twisting neckbreaker to pick up the win for himself.
