"Awesome! Can't wait," "OH HELL YES" - Former WWE Superstar's son's upcoming debut in Tony Khan-led AEW has fans excited

Wrestling fans were buzzing with excitement when news broke of Nick Wayne's AEW debut. Son of the late Buddy Wayne, Nick signed with Tony Khan's promotion last February and is set to take on Swerve Strickland on the July 12 edition of Dynamite.

The match has been highly anticipated ever since Strickland called out Wayne following his defeat to him at the April 8 DEFY Wrestling event. The two are 1-1 against each other, making the upcoming match all the more intriguing.

Nick Wayne signed an apprenticeship deal with All Elite Wrestling when he was just 16 years old, showcasing his potential from an early age. He was even front row on a Dynamite episode in Seattle in January to witness Darby Allin winning the TNT Championship.

Fans on Twitter have been vocal about their excitement for the upcoming debut of this young wrestler, with many calling him the future of AEW.

As AEW continues to grow and establish itself as a major player in the wrestling world, it's exciting to see the company invest in younger talent like Nick Wayne.

Fans can't wait to see what this newcomer brings to the ring and how he'll fare against seasoned competitor Swerve Strickland.
