Jeff Jarrett is looking forward to the AEW Continental Title match happening at AEW Grand Slam: Australia.
AEW is presenting its first major show in Australia on February 15. AEW Grand Slam: Australia will feature Adam Copeland teaming up with Jay White to go against Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley. Toni Storm will also return to Australia as she tries to capture the AEW Women's World Title for a record-setting fourth time from her former protege, Mariah May.
AEW star and legendary professional wrestler Jeff Jarrett has commented on the upcoming event during his recent My World podcast. While he's looking forward to all of the matches on the show, he is personally most excited for the AEW Continental Title match between Kazuchika Okada and Australia's own Buddy Matthews.
"Well, and this may or may not surprise you, I want to see Buddy and Okada," said Jeff. "So, you have Toni. You have Jay White, I know he's New Zealand, but you've got New Zealand/Australia. You've got Buddy. you've got Harley [Cameron]. So, a lot of home country flavor, if you will. Toni specifically, I think she's up around Gold Coast. But seeing folks go back home in Australia, that's a 17-hour flight from San Francisco. I mean, it's a long way over there. These folks, they don't get the opportunity to perform on a big stage, and they're going to get to do it in a big kind of way. So I'm happy for all the folks that are getting to go back home, but my gut, it tells me Buddy and Okada are the sleeper of the show. I'm really looking forward to that."
"Look, Buddy has been in some good singles in the last year or two at AEW. I just think in this setting, it's really going to be to another level, because they are in Australia," he added. "If in-ring workrate is your cup of tea. This will be the best show of the year for you. No doubt, in my opinion, no doubt it. There is not a 'stinker' on it at all."
