Full lineup, new battle royal competitors set for AEW Dynamite Holiday Bash
With the holidays coming, AEW now has their lineup stocking full for this Wednesday’s Holiday Bash edition of AEW Dynamite from Manchester, England.
The show will feature three Continental Classic tournament matches with the finals looming two weeks away at Worlds End.
In the Blue league, former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley (three points) will look to rebound from his defeat to Konosuke Takeshita as he faces Roderick Strong (0 points) while Orange Cassidy (three points) will take on Mascara Dorada (three points) in an interesting pairing.
The lone Gold league match will see a physical clash between Kyle Fletcher (six points) vs. PAC (three points).
The three participants in the AEW World title match for Worlds End — World Champion Samoa Joe, Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland — will sign their respective names on the bottom line.
In an eight-woman tag, TBS Champion Mercedes Mone teams with ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, Marina Shafir & Megan Bayne against AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions Babes of Wrath (Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron) and the Timeless Love Bombs (Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa).
Other new additions include some names revealed for the Dynamite Diamond battle royal like Ricochet, Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, Brody King and Shelton Benjamin. The full field has yet to be revealed.
