Samoa Joe, Wardlow, Swerve Strickland, And More Announced For 5/25 AEW Dynamite

AEW has begun announcing the lineup for the go-home episode of Dynamite before Double or Nothing.

First, after taking his ten lashes this evening, Wardlow will face Shawn Spears in a Steel Cage match where MJF will serve as the special guest referee. Wardlow must defeat Spears before his match against MJF at Double or Nothing becomes official.

Furthermore, the second semi-final in the men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will take place as Samoa Joe faces Kyle O'Reilly. The winner will battle Adam Cole at Double or Nothing in the finals.

There will also be a Three-Way match between Jungle Boy, Swerve Strickland, and Ricky Starks. They will face off later in the week for the Tag Titles at Double or Nothing, but before that happens, Jungle Boy wants to avenge his loss to Starks from last week which he believes was caused by Strickland's interference at ringside.

Finally, CM Punk and Hangman Page will have one last head-to-head confrontation before their World Title main event at Double or Nothing.

The updated card for next Wednesday's show can be seen below.
