The first man has advanced in the AEW Eliminator tournament.
During the November 9 episode of AEW Dynamite, Ethan Page beat Eddie Kingston in the opening match of the AEW World Championship Eliminator tournament. Stokely Hathaway was at ringside to provide the distraction as Page initially tapped out to Kingston. Ortiz ran down to corner, but it was too later. Page managed to hit Kingston with an avalanche Ego’s Edge from the top rope for the victory.
With the Avalanche EGO's Edge, @OfficialEGO is the first man to advance in the #AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament!
