Adam Cole vs. Konosuke Takeshita set for next AEW Dynamite

Adam Cole has to win one more match on next week’s Dynamite.

Thanks to a payoff from MJF, Don Callis will send Konosuke Takeshita to face Cole on next week’s Dynamite in Bridgeport, Connecticut. If Cole wins the match, he will have met MJF’s stipulations to face him at Full Gear on November 23.

After Adam Cole defeated Malakai Black, Cole addressed MJF, saying that he had talked to Tony Khan and had arranged that if both he and Roderick Strong win the three matches needed, they both will face MJF in a three-way match on November 23.

What happens if Adam Cole AND Roderick Strong win all three of their matches ahead of #AEWFullGear?

Angry over the news, MJF sent a man over to Don Callis backstage who handed Callis the Dynamite Diamond Ring and an envelope of money. In a voice message, MJF told Callis that there was more money where that came from and to not scruff up his ring.

The card for next week’s Dynamite:

• Konosuke Takeshita vs. Adam Cole – if Cole wins, he earns match against MJF at Full Gear
• Mina Shirakawa returns
