Blind Eliminator Tournament to begin on next AEW Dynamite

The Blind Eliminator Tournament kicks off on next week’s AEW Dynamite. 

Two more random pairings for the tournament were announced during this week’s episode, with former partners and former AEW World Tag Team Champions Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland set to team in the tournament opener next week against Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin. 

MJF & Adam Cole were the first team announced for the tournament during last week’s Dynamite. Lee & Strickland, and Cassidy & Allin are the second and third teams set for the eight-team tournament. 

Also announced for next week, the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament quarterfinals will continue with Britt Baker facing Ruby Soho in a rematch of last year’s Owen finals. 

Baker vs. Soho was originally set for this week’s Dynamite, but Baker was a late scratch from the card due to illness. Soho instead face Alexia Nicole in a non-tournament bout on Wednesday’s episode. 

Next week’s announced Dynamite lineup to this point: 

AEW Dynamite, Wednesday, July 5 —

  • Blind Eliminator Tournament quarterfinals: Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland vs. Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin
  • Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament quarterfinals: Britt Baker vs. Ruby Soho
