Hold onto your chairs, folks! AEW is cranking the intensity up to eleven as it gears up for its annual Blood & Guts match. AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland, typically a lone wolf obsessed with his legacy, has announced that he will carry the AEW Title into this ferocious battle against The Elite. Joining him is the indomitable ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe, who was the first to declare his allegiance to Team AEW.
But it wouldn’t be Blood & Guts without some sizzling rivalry! Hot off his loss to Bryan Danielson in the Owen Hart Cup finals, Hangman Page has decided to join his Elite comrades. After having a pow-wow with AEW World Tag Team Champions Nick and Matt Jackson, and AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada, Page declared himself the fifth man. The Elite, always ready for a good brawl, also have TNT Champion Jack Perry on their side.
The plot thickened on this week’s “Dynamite” when Elite associate Brandon Cutler got an unexpected beatdown from Darby Allin, who then threw down the gauntlet to Jack Perry. While Allin’s participation isn’t officially confirmed, his attack hints he might crash the Blood & Guts party in a big way.
The stage is set for a colossal clash on July 24’s “Dynamite.” With alliances drawn and grudges ready to explode, this year’s Blood & Guts promises to be an unforgettable spectacle!
