An Elite-tresting Week
It was an exciting week for AEW. On Dynamite, AEW President & CEO Tony Khan presented a gift to Sting in the form of the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, following the Icon’s announcement that he will bid farewell to pro wrestling at Revolution 2024. This past Saturday on Collision saw an amazing main event between AEW World Champion MJF defend his title against Kenny Omega who had the longest reign in the crown’s history. Ultimately, The Devil outlasted the Best Bout Machine to retain the gold, guaranteeing a broken record, and respect for each other was gained between the men.
