TBS title match, Bobby Lashley vs. Swerve Strickland announced for AEW Full Gear
Two new matches are now set for Full Gear.
Bobby Lashley will meet Swerve Strickland on November 23 following a confrontation that took place between Strickland and The Hurt Syndicate on this week’s Dynamite. MVP cut a promo saying that if you accept a Hurt Syndicate card it will change your life but if you reject it, this is what happens. MVP proceeded to show a video of Lashley’s debut and attack on Strickland last week. Strickland and Prince Nana came out as they were held back by officials. Swerve issued the challenge, with MVP accepting.
On social media, it was confirmed that Mercedes Mone will defend the TBS Championship against Kris Statlander. The two have been feuding since WrestleDream, with things picking up after Statlander defeated Mone’s associate Kamille. On Wednesday, Statlander was accidentally hit by a car that was being driven by Kamille. As Mone angrily told Kamille to check what happened, Statlander quickly recovered and dragged Mone out of the car as the two brawled.
Here’s the current card for Saturday, November 23rd in Newark, New Jersey:
- AEW World Champion Jon Moxley defends against Orange Cassidy
- TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone defends against Kris Statlander
- Jay White vs. Hangman Page
- Bobby Lashley vs. Swerve Strickland
