After the match, a mad crowd began pelting Cardona with bottles after his victory. This is Cardona’s first title with the promotion agger leaving WWE in April 2021.
Cardona and Gage began having issues on social media before Cardona jumped Gage at a GCW show in June dressed as a masked Jon Moxley.
Gage is set to face Chris Jericho on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
