Tony Khan has made a new match announcement for tonight’s episode of AEW Collision.
Ahead of tonight’s show, Khan announced that Dustin Rhodes vs. Willie Mack has been added to the Collision lineup. Khan called it a match between two fan favorites:
2 fan favorites collide TONIGHT in a hard-hitting fight Mack vs Rhodes on a night featuring some of AEW’s rising stars + biggest stars!
Rhodes was part of an eight-man tag match honoring the late Brodie Lee on Dynamite this Wednesday. Preston Vance, Rhodes, Adam Copeland & Orange Cassidy defeated Lance Archer, Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona.
At AEW’s Worlds End pay-per-view in December, Rhodes lost a singles match against Swerve Strickland. Rhodes was a late replacement for Keith Lee in that match after Lee wasn’t cleared to compete due to injury.
Willie Mack’s most recent match was a loss to ROH Television Champion Kyle Fletcher that aired on ROH TV earlier this month.
