AEW Announce HUGE Steel Cage Match For May 10 Dynamite
One of AEW's biggest rivalries is set to be renewed!
Kenny Omega will go to war with Jon Moxley once again on May 10... only this time in a steel cage!
This mouth-watering bout was made official last night as AEW President Tony Khan took to Twitter to confirm that The Elite and Blackpool Combat Club members would collide again at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Dynamite in a few week's time.

The Cleaner had thrown out the challenge on the back of the BCC's battering of The Elite and Konosuke Takeshita on the latest edition of Wednesday Night Dynamite, with the former AEW World Champion cutting a promo after the show went off the air.
“How about you lock these guys in a place where they can’t run and you fight me” - @KennyOmegamanX, after the brutal attack to @Takesoup Wednesday night on #AEWDynamite. How will @JonMoxley and the #BlackpoolCombatClub respond?

Mox then went on to accept the offer to be locked inside of a cage with the current IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion, stating that he was going to make sure his bitter rival walked out of the building with a broken heart and face.

Moxley and Omega last collided in singles action during the infamous main event of Revolution 2021, with that Exploding Barbed Wire Death match being known more for its lacklustre climactic explosion than the gritty battle that came before it.
The pair also clashed previously on Dynamite way back in December 2020, with Omega managing to walk out of Daily's Place with Mox's AEW World Championship at Winter is Coming thanks to some Don Callis assistance.
Things have been heating up between The Elite and the BCC in recent weeks, with both factions routinely attempting to impale the other with screw-drivers and other vicious attacks.
And with Double or Nothing on the horizon, it's looking likely that this can't-miss steel cage encounter will set the stage for even more carnage to come, with a potential Anarchy in the Arena team war between the units at the event being just one of a number of intriguing possibilities as May 28 edges closer.
