AEW’s newest stars are set for a title shot, but it won’t be taking place in Tony Khan’s company.

AEW recently held two shows in Australia, with Grand Slam taking place in Sydney. That show saw MJF successfully retain his AEW Men’s World Title against Brody King. However, MJF’s Revolution challenger was also revealed as Hangman Adam Page defeated Andrade El Idolo in a number one contender’s match.

Wheeler Yuta left the southern hemisphere bald after having his head shaved following a loss to Toni Storm and Orange Cassidy.

AEW held a rare House Rules show in Brisbane, and this ended up being equally newsworthy as it saw the AEW debut of former TNA Knockouts and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay, The IInspiration.

But now The IInspiration are going after gold in Japan.
