Bandido Wins AEW Dynamite Diamond Ring, Ending MJF’s Seven-Year Run
The win grants Bandido a January 15 title opportunity following MJF’s years-long hold on the prize.
Overview
- Bandido defeated Ricochet on AEW Dynamite on 34th Street to claim the Dynamite Diamond Ring.
- The match was set after both outlasted the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal at Holiday Bash, excluding MJF from the final for the first time since 2019.
- Ricochet gained an edge during a referee distraction as Gates of Agony interfered, landing a low blow before attempting the Spirit Gun.
- Bandido reversed the finisher into a back-slide for the three-count, then endured a post-match attack until Brody King made the save and presented the ring.
- This year’s ring carries a title shot scheduled for AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage on January 15.
