Dynamite Diamond Ring finals official for AEW Dynamite on 34th Street
The Dynamite Diamond Ring finals are set following Wednesday’s Holiday Bash edition of Dynamite and Collision.
Decided in a 12-man battle royal, ROH World Champion Bandido and reigning AEW National Champion Ricochet were the final two competitors and will now square off on next Wednesday’s Dynamite on 34th Street to determine who earns the ring and a future title shot in January.
Ricochet benefited from having both Gates of Agony members in the match. The bout came down to those three men, Brody King and Bandido. King eliminated himself and Toa Liona on a clothesline while Bandido eliminated Bishop Kaun with a reverse frankensteiner to cement the final match.
It will be the first time in the ring’s six-year history that it will have a different holder other than MJF. It will also be the first ever singles meeting between Bandido and Ricochet.
The match also featured Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, Mark Davis, Ace Austin, Shelton Benjamin, Josh Alexander, and Luchasaurus.
