The Summer Blockbuster edition of “AEW Dynamite” concluded with the second semi-final in the boys’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament between Swerve Strickland and Brody King. Strickland got the higher of King back at AEW Revolution 2026 and King hoped to get his win back in Cincinnati, Ohio, but ultimately, Strickland was the person who had his hand raised, and can face Will Ospreay in the ultimate of the tournament at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on June 28.<\/p>\n
Things quickly spilled out to the ground within the early going as King hit a Cannonball off the ramp, but when King went to hit a Crossbody on a prone Strickland, Prince Nana intervened long enough to let Strickland gather his bearings and hit a Drop Toe Hold right into a steel chair. Strickland would keep control of the match throughout the business break, even moving into the face of referee Aubrey Edwards when took advantage of the referee’s five count within the corner.<\/p>\n
Coming out of the break and King got himself back into the match, connecting with numerous strikes within the corner. Nevertheless, Strickland got himself out of trouble with a Back Superplex. Strickland even countered a Powerbomb right into a Swerve Stomp but it surely wasn’t enough to maintain King down, and when the motion went to the skin again, King countered and at last hit the Powerbomb he was on the lookout for, this time on the announce table. Strickland would kick out and the 2 men would exchange moves in an try to gain the upper hand.<\/p>\n
Strickland eventually got the advantage when King went head-first into the exposed turnbuckle which busted him open. Strickland hit two House Calls but King would not go down, and King would fan the flames of with a Death Valley Driver into the corner, a Cannonball, and a Piledriver but only got a near fall. King went for the Gonzo Bomb but Strickland escaped, and after an inexpensive shot from Nana on the skin, Strickland hit King with the Vertebreaker to get the win and advance to the tournament final.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n
