Even with only a short time apart, the influence of “AEW Grand Slam: Mexico City” remains strong. One notable event around this time was “Ring of Honor Global Wars: Mexico,” which was recorded just before and after “Grand Slam,” featuring a notable match between Blue Panther and Limoriaty.
In addition to the rematches from Earth Wars, another heated rivalry is continuing at Supercard events. On Monday afternoon via X, ROH revealed that Nick Wayne will defend his World Television Championship against CMLL luchador Titan. This bout is a rematch from Global Wars: Mexico, where Titan and Wayne battled to a draw in a proving ground match, which earned Titan a future title opportunity.
This marks the third encounter between Wayne and Titan in the past three months. Besides their matches at Super Cards and “Global Wars,” they also clashed during New Japan’s prestigious Best of the Super Juniors Tournament in May. Titan, who recently turned 20, advanced to the tournament finals by eliminating Wayne from Block B, though Wayne did not advance.
Wayne is looking to avenge his past loss, while Titan is eager to claim his first championship in AEW or ROH. Titan, a former member of Los Ingobernables de Japon, first appeared in ROH back in 2018 during the Sinclair era and made a return in March. He has also competed in AEW events, though mostly in losing efforts, including a match against Chris Jericho last year.
Fan Take: This upcoming clash between Nick Wayne and Titan is crucial for AEW fans because it highlights the rising young talent pushing boundaries in both AEW and ROH. The match could signify a changing of the guard and add fresh excitement to the sport with Titan’s quest for his first major title win.
