Cody and Lance Archer are set to go one-on-one at Double Or Nothing in the finals of the TNT Championship tournament. The victor of that match will know who they’ll be defending their title against next as a battle royal was announced for next week’s Dynamite. The winner of the battle royal will get to challenge for the TNT Championship on June 3rd.
While the competitors in the Casino ladder match at Double Or Nothing were brawling around the ringside area, Rey Fenix went to the top rope for a dive and no one caught Fenix which resulted in a rough landing. Also, a Twitter user caught a clip of Wardlow almost slipping up on the ring apron while walking behind MJF.
