Eddie Kingston’s first Continental Crown defense set for AEW Collision
Eddie Kingston will defend the Continental Crown for the first time on this week’s AEW Collision.
Trent Beretta won a four-way title eliminator match on Wednesday’s Dynamite to earn the right to challenge Kingston on Saturday’s Collision episode.
El Hijo del Vikingo, Brian Cage, and Bryan Keith were the other three participants in the title eliminator bout.
Kingston won the Continental Classic to become the first-ever AEW Continental Champion, defeating Jon Moxley at last week’s Worlds End pay-per-view in the tournament finals. The Continental Championship was unified with the NJPW Strong Openweight & ROH World Championships in the Continental Classic tournament, and AEW commentary has taken to calling the new title the Continental Crown.
A tag team contest between FTR & House of Black has already been announced for Saturday’s Collision, as Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler team against Malakai Black & Buddy Matthews.
Saturday’s announced Collision lineup:
- Continental Crown Champion Eddie Kingston defends against Trent Beretta
- FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) vs. House of Black (Malakai Black & Buddy Matthews)
