Daniel Garcia Declares for AEW Continental Classic – During the Full Gear post show press conference, newly crowned TNT Champion Daniel Garcia announced that he would declare for the Continental Classic, which begins on this week’s Dynamite.
This would be the second year in a row that Garcia has competed in the tournament. During last year’s Continental Classic, Garcia lost most of his matches but did end up winning his final bout against Brody King. Eddie Kingston went on to win the tournament to unify the AEW Continental, ROH World, and NJPW Strong titles. Kazuchika Okada eventually defeated Kingston to win the Continental title and will be entering the tournament this year as champion.
Garcia’s momentum has been climbing over the last month. After returning in October, he set his sights on Jack Perry’s TNT Championship. At Full Gear, Garcia defeated Perry to win his first championship in AEW.
Tony Schiavone announced during Full Gear that participants for this year’s tournament would be revealed on a ‘Selection Sunday’ broadcast. No further details have been announced.
