Swerve Strickland proved he was the “Most Dangerous” on AEW Dynamite, laying out Kenny Omega.

Swerve defeated Omega in the main event, pulling referee Aubrey Edwards into a v-trigger to gain the advantage on Omega. He followed up by slingshotting Omega jaw first into the turnbuckle metal and eventually winning with the House Call followed by Big Pressure.

After the match, Swerve continued his attack, hanging Omega with a chain and then putting him through the announce table with a vertebreaker.
