Allin captured the title this past week on Dynamite, defeating MJF in an upset victory. On the same show, Ciampa defeated Dezmond Xavier and immediately called out the winner for a future title shot.
The former TNT Champion brings momentum into the title match with a 5-0 record in his last five singles matches. This will be Ciampa’s first opportunity to compete for the AEW World Championship.
The title match joins an already stacked card for Wednesday’s show. Will Ospreay faces Mark Davis, while Mina Shirakawa takes on Hikaru Shida.
