The winner of the match will then move on to Forbidden Door on June 30, where Ospreay will be waiting for whoever walks out of “Dynamite” with the gold. Strong bounced back from his loss at Double or Nothing with a win over Lio Rush on the June 1 edition of “AEW Collision.” Given that Strong has never lost a match to Strickland in the past — with three victories over the AEW World Champion during their time in “WWE NXT” — the champ will have to bring his A-game if he is to overcome the “Messiah of the Backbreaker.”

Elsewhere on the June 5 edition of “AEW Dynamite,” fans in Loveland, Colorado, will hear from MJF after he made his return to AEW at Double or Nothing, as well as a one-on-one bout between Saraya and Mariah May. The latter was set to take place on May 29, but was postponed for unknown reasons.
