Mascara Dorada Secures Final Spot in AEW Unified Threeway at All Out
Mascara Dorada secured the final spot in Saturday's AEW Unified Championship threeway at All Out by defeating The Beast Mortos on Wednesday's September to Remember edition of AEW Dynamite in Toronto, setting up a title match with champion Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita at the Scotiabank Arena on Sept. 20. The result completed the trio after Takeshita and Okada earned their places on last weekend's Collision.
Dorada, a veteran of Mexico's CMLL, scored the pin against Mortos in a fast-paced match that contrasted Dorada's aerial offense with Mortos's power. Reports differed on the decisive move, with some accounts crediting a 450 splash and others describing a shooting star press as the finish. Immediately after the bout, Okada and his ally Don Callis walked to the ring, and Takeshita soon joined them. Dorada then launched a top-rope crossbody to the floor, taking out Okada and leaving the three men in a tense stare-down.
The match completes a booking arc that began with Takeshita defeating Anthony Bowens on Collision to claim one qualifying spot, and Okada retaining the Unified Championship against Michael Oku on the same show to book his place as champion in the threeway....
