A Grand Finale
The Grand Slam Tournament of Champions featured six of AEW’s absolute best in a series of matches to determine who comes away with the vacant AEW World Championship. After a grueling gauntlet of spectacular bouts, two men have secured their spot in the finals of the tourney: Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson. These two were once bitter rivals that forged their now unbreakable bond through combat, and together built the Blackpool Combat Club.
However, for this Wednesday night, Mox and Danielson find themselves not fighting beside one another, but against each other. They have tremendous respect for each other, considering they’ve gone through hell and back together in barbaric battles and wars. Unfortunately, there can be only one to hoist up the most coveted price in all of AEW.
After defeating Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara in their respective semifinal matches, both Moxley and Danielson have only one thing on their mind, and that’s to reach the pinnacle of AEW. It’s Moxley versus Danielson for the vacant AEW World Championship! Who will come out of this finale as AEW’s undisputed king?
At #AEWDynamite GrandSlam THIS Wednesday, September 21 LIVE at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the #AEW World Tag Team titles are on the line when #TheAcclaimed face the champs #SwerveInOurGlory once again! Who wins the rematch? Tune in to TBS at 8/7c to find out! 🎟 https://t.co/UN1cNj1kQq pic.twitter.com/2HgBXIqWO4

Claiming It
No tag team contender is hotter than The Acclaimed right now. After a raucous reception from the Chicago crowd back at All Out, in which Max Caster and Anthony Bowens were mere moments away from walking away as AEW World Tag Team Champions, they now find themselves with one last opportunity to make it a reality. However, the team of Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland, collectively known as Swerve In Our Glory, will not surrender their stranglehold atop the tag team division that easily.
Lee and Swerve are adamant that they’re the rightful holders of the AEW tag team titles, and The Acclaimed will have to bring everything they can muster to dethrone the conquerors of the division. This Wednesday night, on AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, it will be Swerve in Our Glory against The Acclaimed, part two, for the AEW World Championship. Don’t you dare this tag team spectacle, and a lot more, this Wednesday night, only on the “mother base” TBS!
