Tonight’s AEW Dynamite from Washington D.C. opened up with Adam Cole taking on AEW World Champion MJF in an eliminator match, meaning if Cole won he would earn a future world title opportunity.
The two men preceded to have an epic back-and-forth contest that had the live crowd on the edge of their seats. This included a ref bump, a low-blow, a title shot, and multiple last second kick outs. Referee Bryce Remsburg stopped MJF from using the Dynamite Diamond Ring, which allowed Cole to hit a superkick and the Last Shot. Unfortunately for Cole, Remsburg was only able to count to two before the bell rang due to the time limit being up. Cole demanded MJF give him five more minutes, but the Devil left with his world title.
This means Cole does not get a future world title opportunity…yet. Highlights from the matchup can be found below.
