Posted on by Ethan Renner

An International title bout is one of two matches announced for the June 7 AEW Dynamite. 

As revealed during this week’s episode, Orange Cassidy will defend the AEW International Championship against Swerve Strickland on next week’s Dynamite. 

Cassidy is coming off a successful title defense in a Blackjack Battle Royale at Double or Nothing, plus a tag team victory on this week’s Dynamite. Strickland also picked up a win on Dynamite, defeating Big Bill and Trent Beretta in a triple threat match. 

A grudge match has also been announced for next week’s Dynamite. 

Ricky Starks will face Jay White on the June 7 Dynamite, with the added stipulation of FTR and Juice Robinson being banned from ringside. 

White and Robinson called out FTR during an in-ring promo on this week’s show, then attacked the duo. Starks made the save, continuing the weeks-long feud between Starks, White, and Robinson. 

Next week’s announced lineup: 

AEW Dynamite, Wednesday, June 7 —

AEW ‘leveling up’ All-Atlantic title to International title

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The AEW All-Atlantic Championship has been rebranded.

On Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan mentioned that next week in Winnipeg, Canada the All-Atlantic Championship would be defended on international soil for the fifth and final time when Orange Cassidy defends against Jeff Jarrett. Khan announced that the title has officially been rebranded as the AEW International Championship, mentioning that the title was “leveling up”. Khan also used the announcement to plug Warner Bros. upcoming Shazam: Fury of the Gods movie.

Earlier in the show, Cassidy defeated Jay Lethal to retain the title. After the match, Jarrett attacked Cassidy and used his guitar to smash Cassidy’s knee. Best Friends, who had left the ring area after the match, returned to make the save.

The All-Atlantic Championship was introduced last June, with PAC becoming the first champion at Forbidden Door later that month. Orange Cassidy is the second champion, defeating PAC back on the October 12 edition of Dynamite.
