AEW World Title #1 Contenders Match Announced For AEW Grand Slam Australia

The next #1 contender for the AEW World Championship will be determined at AEW Grand Slam Australia. Tony Schiavone announced on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite that a match will be held at the Sydney show to determine the next challenger to MJF’s World Title.

The announcement was made after Omega defeated Rocky Romero. Schiavone revealed that Omega, Andrade El Idolo, Swerve Strickland, and Hangman Page are competing in a Contenders Series to determine the two men who will compete for the #1 contendership.

The winner of the #1 contenders match will face MJF for the title at AEW Revolution in March. MJF has been AEW World Champion since AEW Worlds End on December 27th, when he won the title from Samoa Joe in a four-way match that also included Page and Strickland. He most recently defended the title on AEW TV against Bandido on the January 14th episode of AEW Dynamite.

You can see a clip of the segment below. Omega, Page, and Strickland have all been seeking a match with MJF for the title.

AEW Grand Slam Australia takes place on February 14th from Sydney and airs live on TNT and HBO Max in the place of that week’s AEW Collision.

JUST ANNOUNCED! The winner of @SwerveConfident and @AndradeElIdolo will face @KennyOmegamanX NEXT WEEK and the winner of that match will get one step closer to facing @The_MJF at #AEWRevolution!
