Samoa Joe vs. Swerve Strickland World title match official for AEW Dynasty

The AEW World Championship match for Dynasty is now set.

Swerve Strickland defeated Konosuke Takeshita to determine the new number one contender for Samoa Joe’s AEW World Championship on Wednesday's Dynamite. It was confirmed right after his victory that their title match will take place at AEW Dynasty on April 21 in New Orleans.

Strickland has been looking to get another championship match after the events of Revolution, which saw Joe retain the title against Hangman Page and Strickland in a three-way bout after Joe submitted Page. Following the number one contender's match on Wednesday, an upset Joe backstage told Renee Paquette that after Strickland signs the dotted line next week, he will make Strickland realize just what he’s asking for.

Willow Nightingale won a four-way match on Dynamite to become the new number one contender for the TBS Championship, defeating Skye Blue, Anna Jay, and Kris Statlander. New AEW signee Mercedes Mone was at ringside. After the match, TBS Champion Julia Hart attacked Nightingale and had a staredown with Mone.

Here is the updated lineup for Dynasty:

• AEW World Championship: Samoa Joe defends against Swerve Strickland
• TBS Championship: Julia Hart defends against Willow Nightingale
• Will Ospreay vs. Bryan Danielson
• Tournament final to determine new AEW World Tag Team Champions
