Jay Lethal is #AllElite.
For those who missed it, former ROH World Champion Jay Lethal was announced as the newest addition to the AEW roster in a surprise segment before the main event at Saturday night’s AEW Full Gear 2021 pay-per-view.
Tony Schiavone introduced Lethal to the crowd at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota this weekend. He came out and cut a promo and challenged Sammy Guevara to a TNT Championship match in the latest “Open Challenge” for this coming week’s edition of AEW Dynamite on TNT.
Guevara would come out to accept and the match was later made official for the November 17, 2021 installment of the weekly two-hour AEW on TNT television program.
