ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli has earned a future shot at the ROH World Tag Team Titles.
Tonight’s AEW Dynamite from Detroit opened up with the Double Jeopardy bout between Castagnoli and ROH World Tag Team Champion Rey Fenix. The winner was to earn a future title at the other man’s title, and after a solid back & forth match, Castagnoli ended up getting the win with the Ricola Bomb.
There’s no word yet on when Castagnoli will challenge The Lucha Brothers for their ROH World Tag Team Titles, or who his partner will be. It’s safe to assume that Castagnoli will pick someone from The Blackpool Combat Club – Wheeler Yuta, Bryan Danielson or Jon Moxley. Dynamite included a backstage segment where Danielson and Yuta watched Castagnoli celebrate the win.
Yuta is the only stablemate Castagnoli has teamed with for ROH TV as they will face Ring of Honor veterans Rhett Titus and Tracy Williams on Thursday’s episode.
Below are several shots from tonight’s ROH Double Jeopardy opener on AEW Dynamite from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit:
