Danielson & Yuta vs. Castagnoli & PAC set for AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday
The Blackpool Combat Club will officially implode on next week’s Title Tuesday edition of AEW Dynamite as AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson will team with Wheeler Yuta against Claudio Castagnoli & PAC.
The challenge was made following the main event of Wednesday’s fifth anniversary episode of Dynamite when Jon Moxley, Castagnoli and PAC attacked Danielson following his successful title defense over Kazuchika Okada.
Yuta came out to fend off the three men with a hammer as they eventually backed away. He then took to the microphone to say if Castagnoli and PAC wanted to get to Danielson, they would have to go through him. Danielson then suggested the match take place this Tuesday.
Danielson will defend his title against Moxley in the main event of this month’s WrestleDream in Tacoma, Washington, while Castagnoli, Yuta and PAC are the reigning AEW Trios Champions. After they jumped Danielson at last month’s All Out, Yuta fell out of favor with the group when he didn’t want to do the same.
It’s the first match announced for the live Tuesday show in Spokane, Washington.
