At AEW Dynamite in Las Vegas, Brody King surprised the audience by defeating the reigning AEW World Champion MJF in an eliminator match, securing a title shot at next weekend’s AEW Grand Slam event in Australia. During the match, “Hangman” Adam Page, who is set to face Andrade El Idro to determine the next number one contender, played a critical distraction by having his entrance music sound right after the bell. Taking advantage of MJF’s momentary lapse, King strangled him and then threw him to the floor.
King then dragged MJF back into the ring, positioned him in the corner, and landed a devastating cannonball. He followed up with his signature move, the Gonzo Bomb, to claim the victory. After the match, Andrade attacked King with a back elbow, subsequently turning his attention to MJF. Andrade delivered a buckshot lariat from Page, who also tried to take down MJF. Ultimately, King managed to hit a second Gonzo Bomb on MJF and stood victorious as the match concluded, holding the AEW World Championship.
Fan Take: This upset victory by Brody King shakes up the AEW world title scene just ahead of a major event, promising fresh rivalry and unpredictability. AEW fans should brace for an intense buildup and innovative storytelling that could elevate the sport and spotlight King as a formidable contender.
