AEW presented a loaded episode of Dynamite this week, but one match didn’t happen as many people expected.
A fake graphic was going around for an AEW International Title match between Konosuke Takeshita and Mascara Dorada on the show. Before the show, Luchablog noted they believe Dorada has not yet received a work visa for the United States.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that once AEW heard about the graphic, they now want to book the match in the future.
Meltzer: “I saw on social media this thing that said Takeshita was wrestling Mascara Dorada on Dynamite tonight.
Bryan Alvarez: “It was a fake graphic.”
Meltzer: “It was a fake graphic, but I did not know it was a fake graphic because it looked just like their graphic, and I’m going like, ‘Oh my god, they’re announcing this match at the last minute.’ So I went to the show, didn’t know any better, and then the show’s over, and it didn’t happen, so I figured maybe something happened to Mascara Dorada, I don’t know. So I actually was asked and I go like, ‘What happened to Mascara Dorada?’ And they said, ‘That was a fake graphic, but what a great match. Boy, do we want to put that match on now. So, whoever made up this great match or this fake graphic, he spurred an idea in people’s heads and, in fact, they love the idea of that match. I don’t know if it’s going to happen anytime soon, and Mascara Dorada, as of now, has not been able to work for AEW. I mean, they want him. They would like to have him. I was actually at the show thinking I was going to see that match.”
