The next challenger for TNT Champion Miro has been revealed.
During AEW Dark: Elevation Monday, the champion came out after Lee Johnson’s victory over Luther and gave him the news that he will get his shot at Homecoming on August 4th.
This will be Johnson’s first title opportunity in AEW. The win Monday got him back on the winning track after he lost to Jungle Boy recently, which snapped a six-match singles winning streak.
Since debuting in AEW in September, Miro is undefeated in singles action. Since defeating Darby Allin for the title in March, he is 4-0 in title defenses.
The only other match announced for the company’s return to Jacksonville, Florida, will see Malakai Black make his AEW in-ring debut against Cody Rhodes.
