Prince Nana swerved to stop Christian Cage’s carjacking attempt

Nearly every segment on the May 22 Dynamite led to a confrontation between wrestlers who will compete against each other on AEW’s Double or Nothing PPV this coming Sunday. But how many featured someone we hadn’t seen in weeks pulling up in an SUV to ruin some heel’s heelish plans?

Okay, there were two. But only one featured the returnee preventing grand theft auto.

Christian Cage’s plan for the night probably just involved a lot of gloating. He’d directed Killswitch to take out AEW World champion Swerve Strickland after Strickland defeated Nick Wayne, but the former dinosaur-man was struck down by a low blow from the champ. Cage decided to hightail it out of Bakersfield, California’s Mechanics Bank Arena, and threw some guy out of his SUV so he could use it to make his mistake.

But Christian — or “Carjack Jones”, as Taz called him — had his exit blocked by another SUV… this one driven by Swerve’s manager/associate Prince Nana.

He wasn’t done, either. Nana also delivered a chair to Strickland so he could give Christian a Con-Chair-To, but the Patriarch scrambled away before he could get a taste of his own medicine.

This was the first we’ve seen of Nana since Cage & The Patriarchy took him out on May 1 Dynamite. Now it looks like he’ll be back in the champ’s corner when Christian challenges Swerve at May 26’s PPV. We’d honestly started to get worried that the Prince might be one of those things Cage says he’s going to take from Strickland… maybe even by turning him against Swerve like he did the rest of Mogul Embassy.

Let us know if you think that’s something we should still be worried about in the comments below. And on your way down there, check out the rest of the highlights from last night’s Dynamite — including more from the Strickland/Wayne match and its aftermath — in the following playlist:
