David Finlay Debuts on AEW Dynamite and Aligns with Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors

Surprise attack after tag match leads to formation of a new alliance

Summary

– The debut ended with Finlay standing alongside Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors

David Finlay has officially arrived in AEW and wasted no time making an impact. The former New Japan Pro-Wrestling standout appeared during the March 4 episode of Dynamite and immediately shifted the momentum of the night.

The moment unfolded after a tag team match featuring Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy against Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors. Allin and Cassidy secured the win after a competitive match that appeared to close the segment.

Celebration inside the ring did not last long. Finlay suddenly stormed the ring and blindsided both Allin and Cassidy, launching a surprise attack that caught the crowd and competitors off guard.

The assault quickly escalated as Kidd and Connors joined the chaos. The trio overwhelmed Allin and Cassidy before standing together in the ring, making it clear that Finlay had aligned himself with the two wrestlers moving forward.

The moment marked the formation of a new faction inside AEW. With Finlay joining forces with Kidd and Connors, the group instantly established itself as a potential threat within the promotion.

Finlay’s arrival comes shortly after his contract with New Japan Pro-Wrestling expired. His future had been the subject of speculation, with both AEW and WWE reportedly linked to the veteran performer.

Reports previously suggested that Finlay and WWE had communicated about a possible opportunity. However, he was not part of the company’s creative plans at the time.

That speculation quickly became irrelevant once Finlay appeared on AEW television. His debut signals the beginning of a new chapter and adds another dangerous group to the promotion’s roster.

The alliance with Kidd and Connors also hints that AEW could be introducing a faction capable of making a strong impact in the weeks ahead.
