Tonight’s jam-packed episode of AEW Dynamite was headlined by Wheeler Yuta defending the ROH pure championship against Daniel Garcia in Garcia’s hometown of Buffalo New York.
Contested under pure rules (limited rope breaks, no closed fist strikes) the match was a competitive technical wrestling clinic, with both men showcasing their athleticism and agility on the ground. Despite Yuta’s incredible fighting spirit it was no match for Garcia, who thanks to a ruckus Buffalo crowd, would win and capture the Pure championship.
