On the October 16 episode of AEW Dynamite, Shelton Benjamin made his AEW in-ring debut. He faced Lio Rush and showcased his impressive athleticism throughout the bout. In the end, Benjamin scored the win with a T-Bone Suplex.
MVP left his business card on top of Rush and gave him credit for a good try. He then told Swerve Strickland to reconsider his position, as he said they should finish their conversation. MVP closed his message by hinting at a match between Strickland and Benjamin.
Strickland was later asked for a response, and he accepted the challenge to a match against Benjamin. The match was subsequently confirmed for the “Fright Night Dynamite” episode on October 30.
