Swerve Strickland defeats Jack Perry in AEW Dynamite main event

entertainmentAug 26, 202623225

Swerve Strickland defeated Jack Perry in the main event of AEW Dynamite as the show built toward All In London. The match closed Dynamite on a go-home week for All In London and ended when Swerve hit his House Call finishing move on Jack Perry. Social posts called the bout a strong main event and said it left room for an even better rematch on the bigger All In card. Coverage of the episode tied the result into the ongoing All In narrative, noting Swerve’s recent headline match against Bryan Danielson at All In, which AEW highlighted in promotional material. Several observers described Dynamite as part one of the promotion’s two-show build to All In, with Collision expected to serve as the other go-home show Saturday night.

2 Years Ago Today, Swerve Strickland coming out to the Big Pressure Remix at AEW All In London in Wembley Stadium with Prince Nana, DJ Whoo Kid, Flash Garments, Bun B, & Westside Gunn. Still one of my favorite All In Entrances.

This is a good list & a fun reminder that AEW All In has developed a whole bunch of history in a very short amount of time.

No one has main evented All In more than once, which is crazy to think about. They've maintained such variety and talent in their roster. So many great matches.

On this day in 2024: Bryan Danielson came to the ring, potentially for the final time, as he challenged Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship at All In London. But first, he sent a love letter to professional wrestling—featuring old Indy and ROH footage. (via AEW)
