It didn’t take long for AEW to respond to NXT’s opening match announcement for this Wednesday.
Earlier this morning, WWE revealed that Adam Cole and Finn Balor’s NXT Championship match would open this week’s NXT episode and would be commercial free. AEW then announced their opening match for Wednesday, with Kenny Omega & Hangman Page teaming against The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix).
Omega & Page vs. The Lucha Bros will also be commercial-free.
AEW tweeted: “Kicking off #AEW Dynamite this Wednesday, it’s a dream tag team match as #TheLuchaBrothers face Kenny Omega & Hangman Adam Page, and as always – it will be commercial-free! Watch #AEWDynamite on @TNTDrama 8e/7c or get your tickets for Corpus Christi at AEWTIX.com”
Omega & Page have previously teamed together on Dynamite three times. They defeated Kip Sabian & Shawn Spears last week, with Page blind-tagging himself in and pinning Sabian after hitting the Buckshot Lariat.
Wednesday’s Dynamite is taking place at the American Bank Center Arena in Corpus Christi, Texas. Here’s what’s been announced for the show:
AEW World Champion Chris Jericho vs. Jungle Boy in a non-title match with a 10-minute time limit
AEW Tag Team Champions SCU (Scorpio Sky & Frankie Kazarian) defending against The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)
Britt Baker vs. Kris Statlander (winner becomes number one contender to Riho’s AEW Women’s Championship)
