Title matches, a street fight and more are set for AEW Grand Slam: Mexico on August 5, marking the promotion’s return to the country.
The special is set to air live from Arena Mexico in the nation’s capital. With this being a Grand Slam special, All Elite Wrestling has loaded up the card with big matches set to take place throughout the night.
At Redemption, Mike Bailey won a ladder match to be next in line for the International Championship. Bailey will challenge Kyle Fletcher for the title at Grand Slam. The other title match will see The Demand put the Trios Championships on the line in what will be their first defence.
Prior to his match at All In, Will Ospreay will face off against former friend Mark Davis. On the last episode of Collision, it was also announced that the match would be a street fight. There will be no outside interference in the match.
Also at All In, Mercedes Mone will challenge Willow Nightingale for the AEW Women’s Championship. Mone interrupted Nightingale’s celebration on the July 29 AEW Dynamite, leading to a beatdown on Nightingale from Mone and Divine Dominion. The Brawling Birds made the save for the champion, leading to a six-woman tag match being announced for next week’s show.
