World title eliminator official for AEW Grand Slam Australia
Hangman Page will take on Andrade El Idolo for the first time ever at this month’s AEW Grand Slam Australia to determine who will earn a World title shot at next month’s Revolution.
In two matches that took place on Wednesday’s Dynamite, Page defeated Mark Davis while Andrade bested Kenny Omega to advance to the title eliminator in Sydney.
The Andrade-Omega match wasn’t without controversy as Don Callis threw a screwdriver to Andrade which brought out Swerve Strickland to prevent it. Referee Aubrey Edwards then got distracted by Strickland with the screwdriver which led to Andrade hitting a low blow and his finisher on Omega to get the pin.
Afterward, Omega and Strickland got into a shoving match about how things went down with security needing to separate them.
Page is looking to get into a position to regain the title he lost to Samoa Joe last fall while Andrade is gunning for his first AEW World title shot. The winner will face the AEW World Champion at the Los Angeles-based PPV on March 15.
