Will Ospreay is officially ready to challenge Swerve Strickland for his AEW World Championship.
During Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Ospreay defeated Mistico, Jay White, PAC, Shota Umino, Lio Rush, Orange Cassidy, and Hechicero in a Casino Gauntlet match for the right to become the next #1 Contender for the belt.
He came away with the win after hitting Cassidy with an Os Cutter for the pin and win, and will now face off against Strickland at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
After the match, Ospreay was quickly met by Strickland, who came right down to the ring to meet his future opponent. The two stared down each other as the show went off the air, setting the stage for what promises to be a big title fight on June 30, 2024.
