Bandido is getting an AEW title shot.
This week\'s Dynamite on 34th Street special was taped in advance from New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom and featured names such as MJF, Swerve Strickland, Kenny Omega, and more.
The match with the biggest stake was the bout between the two Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal finalists, Bandido and Ricochet.
The ending of this fight saw Gates of Agony running interference in favor of the former WWE star, allowing Ricochet to low blow his opponent. As the One and Only went for the pin, however, Bandido was able to turn it into a crucifix pin, winning the whole thing.

With this victory, the masked star has become the first person to win the Dynamite Diamond Ring other than MJF, who had won the accolade six times in a row before.
The win not only earns Bandido the ring but also a shot at the AEW World Heavyweight Championship at the Dynamite Maximum Carnage special on January 14, 2026.
Though the current ROH Champion will have to wait a few days to find out who he will be facing, as Samoa Joe is set to defend his title in a fatal four-way against MJF, Swerve Strickland, and Hangman Page at the Worlds End PPV this Saturday.
