Swerve Strickland defeats Roderick Strong to retain his Title, and will face Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door

MJF took some shots at the AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland in his Dynamite return, and while Strickland did promise to answer his jabs, he had more pressing things on his mind. Strickland was set to defend his AEW World Championship against Roderick Strong in the Dynamite main event, and when you get two wrestlers as skilled as those two in the ring, you're going to get quite the match.

— All Elite Wrestling June 6, 2024 Strickland rolled out of the ring to regroup, and Strong followed with a dropkick and a chop, only to find himself launched into the ring post. Eventually, both men got back in the ring, where Strong took command for a while. Strickland managed to escape and go on the offensive, soaring from the top rope into Strong's back before hitting a Flatliner. Swerve hit a brain buster right after and went for a cover, but Strong kicked out.

In the ring, Strong went for the pin, but Strickland was able to kick out. Strickland and Strong exchanged chops and strikes, and Strong countered a Flatliner attempt before clocking Strickland with numerous elbow strikes and a slam. Strong then hit another power slam and went for the cover, but the Champ kicked out. Another huge kick followed from Strong, who went for the pin again, but Strickland somehow kicked out one more time.
