AEW Dynasty card: Swerve Strickland to challenge Samoa Joe for world title

A look at the updated match card for AEW Dynasty 2024.

Revolution was a standout AEW pay-per-view, highlighted by Sting’s retirement match and a thrilling world title bout. It became an unforgettable night of action and arguably the best show that the company ever hosted.

Tony Khan and company now face the challenge of following up on the electrifying show, and it appears they are on track for a promising show.

AEW Dynasty is scheduled for Sunday, April 21 in St. Louis, marking the company’s second pay-per-view of the year. With a card already in progress, this show holds strong potential.

Will Ospreay went to battle with Konosuke Takeshita at Revolution, arguably having the match of the night and one of the best of 2024. They delivered a hard-hitting slugfest that not only showcased Takeshita’s in-ring prowess, but what the Aerial Assassin can do for an American audience that may not have seen him wrestle live.

Ospreay’s next opponent is Bryan Danielson, who issued a challenge after Ospreay’s victory over Kyle Fletcher on Dynamite. Their match, now official for Dynasty, promises a stellar showdown between two top-tier talents, sure to be a wrestling clinic.

Following his victory in a No. 1 contenders match against Konosuke Takeshita, Swerve Strickland will clash with Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship. It’s Strickland’s second attempt at the title following the three-way match at Revolution, and without Hangman Adam Page in the picture, a one-on-one bout improves the odds of the belt going to Swerve’s house.

Plenty of other matches have also been made to try to entice AEW fans into checking out this inaugural event from St. Louis. Here’s what the full card looks like at the moment.
