On this week’s AEW Dynamite, Andrade El Idolo secured a significant victory over Kenny Omega in a Contenders Series match, setting himself up for a chance at the AEW World Championship. The bout took place on Wednesday night as part of AEW’s build-up toward the Grand Slam event in Australia, determining which two wrestlers would enter the #1 contender’s match. This win places Andrade El Idolo one step closer to challenging for the top title in AEW.
Details of the Intense Match and Interference
The matchup between Kenny Omega and Andrade El Idolo lasted over sixteen minutes and featured several dramatic moments. Don Callis, a known ally of Omega, attempted to aid his fighter by trying to slip a screwdriver to Andrade. However, Swerve Strickland intervened, preventing the interference from taking effect. Amidst the confusion, Omega attempted to execute his finishing move, the One Winged Angel, but Andrade countered by landing a low blow kick that incapacitated Omega. Following this, Andrade used his signature move to pin Omega and claim victory.
Pathway to the Grand Slam Title Match Against Hangman Page
With this triumph, Andrade El Idolo will now face Hangman Page at AEW Grand Slam in Australia for an opportunity to challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship. Hangman Page earned his place in the contenders bout earlier in the show by defeating Mark Davis and delivered a promo promising to return to AEW Revolution and reclaim his title. The Grand Slam event is scheduled for February 14th and will be broadcast in the AEW Collision time slot on TNT and HBO Max, highlighting its importance within the wrestling calendar.
