The AEW universe was left in shock and awe this Wednesday night on “AEW Dynamite” as Christian Cage, the Canadian enigma, stormed the ring—not to say “sorry” but to declare war on the new champ, Swerve Strickland! Cage’s dramatic return wasn’t just a surprise; it was a full-blown spectacle orchestrated by the Young Bucks. These masterminds weren’t bringing back Kenny Omega this time; oh no, they were unleashing a different beast from the north.
As Cage strutted down to the ring with his squad—Killswitch, Nick Wayne, and the fearsome Mother Wayne—it was clear he wasn’t there for a friendly chat. Before Strickland could even spit out a word, Cage was throwing punches like it was Black Friday at a boxing glove store.
The chaos escalated quickly as Strickland knocked down Wayne and Killswitch but then made the bold move of getting in Mother Wayne’s face. Bad move, Swerve. Killswitch rebounded and knocked down both the champ and Prince Nana. Cage then delivered a brutal Killswitch on Strickland right on the championship belt—talk about a statement!
Cage grabbed the mic, seething with revenge. He reminded Strickland of their shared past and a bloody betrayal involving Cage’s “son,” Wayne. Their last team-up at All In at Wembley ended in humiliation for Cage thanks to Strickland, and it seems Cage has been simmering on this grudge like a pot roast. His fiery promo ended with a promise to end Strickland’s reign before it even kicks off, claiming that he’ll be the father figure Strickland’s daughter can be proud of—ouch, that’s colder than a Canadian winter!
As Cage’s crew exited, leaving Strickland and fans in disbelief, one thing was clear: the stage is set for a showdown of epic proportions at Double Or Nothing in Las Vegas. Will Cage’s cold dish of revenge be served, or will Strickland swerve his way to retain his title? Las Vegas might be betting on fun, but at Double Or Nothing, the only safe bet is chaos!
