The events in Fantastic Beasts 3 open doors for the duel, which we know will ultimately happen in 1945 and comes before Dumbledore becomes the Hogwarts Headmaster we know and love from Harry Potter as well as the person who earned the right to the Elder Wand. Of course, now the path is set for Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore to engage in what some would eventually call the greatest wizarding duel ever. While Albus couldn't act against Gellert, he could act to protect Aurelius, which nullified the blood pact. The protective spells of both Dumbledore brothers cancel out Grindelwald’s lethal strike, as well as breaks the blood pact between the former couple.
This is not only a repeat of the three-way duel these men had in their youth, it also feels like a callback/setup for how Harry survives Voldemort’s attempt to murder him. When explaining how this magic worked the way it did, Albus states the following:
Both brothers cast spells to protect their own, and for the moment the young man is spared. After being exposed, Grindelwald attempts to kill the already dying Aurelius Dumbledore, but is stopped by his father Aberforth (Richard Coyle) and uncle Albus. In the middle of all of this activity, we see the blood pact that prevented Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald from fighting each other broken. (Image credit: Warner Bros.)
