Official participants for Sunday’s Anarchy at Arena Match at AEW Double or Nothing were announced via the graphic for Wednesday’s “AEW Dynamite.” The match became official last week after Swerve Strickland issued a challenge to Death Riders and Young Bucks following interference by NJPW’s Gabe Kidd on behalf of Jon Moxley in a steel-cage AEW World Heavyweight Championship match with Samoa Joe.
The Babyface team at Strickland will feature Joe from AEW World Trios Champions, Powerhouse Hobbs and Katsuyori Shibata, international champions Kenny Omega and Willow Nightingale. The Moxley team consists of Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir. Kidd was significantly absent from the graphics. Last week, AEW gave no reason as to why the NJPW star didn’t take part in the match after Moxley helped him hold his gold. He appears to be closing “Dynamite” again, and he seems likely to be involved in some capacity as he helped Death Rider and the Young Bucks win a go-home brawl on Wednesday night.
Elsewhere in “Dynamite,” Osprey said he intends to sues his case against powers, including AEW President Tony Kahn, that his match with “Hangman” Adam Page should be a double or nothing main event. The pair will decide who will win the 2025 Owen Hart Cup Memorial Tournament, and Victor will take on the AEW World Championship in Texas.
