This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite took place from Saskatoon, and it featured the debut of 18 year old Nick Wayne who faced off against Swerve Strickland. Prior to the match All Elite Wrestling aired a video package recapping Nick Wayne’s history which detailed how he started training with his late father Buddy at a young age.
Unfortunately for Nick Wayne he was defeated by Swerve Strickland in his AEW debut, but it was far from a bad night for him as Tony Khan announced via Twitter that Nick Wayne is now All Elite.
Congratulations! What a great debut tonight on Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite, and now it's official: @thenickwayne is All Elite! pic.twitter.com/3NJPBtqCPR
