TNT Championship match official for AEW Collision

Bryan Danielson is the new number one contender to the TNT Championship and challenging for the title on this week’s AEW Collision. 

Danielson defeated Swerve Strickland at Dynamite Title Tuesday to become the number one contender to Christian Cage’s TNT Championship. It was announced as Title Tuesday kicked off that the title match was set for this Saturday, October 14 on Collision with a special 7 p.m. Eastern start time on TNT.

Both Cage and Danielson were involved in the main event segment on Title Tuesday as well, with Cage attempting to interfere in the main event bout between Adam Copeland and Luchasaurus. Cage’s interference backfired and Copeland hit Luchasaurus with the TNT title belt. That led to a spot where Luchasaurus thought Cage hit him with the belt instead. Copeland then hit a spear for the pin. 

After the bout, Nick Wayne, Mogul Embassy, Swerve Strickland, Hangman Page, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta, and Danielson all ran in for a big brawl. The closing scene of the episode saw Cage tapping out to Danielson’s LeBell Lock submission. 

The TNT title bout remains the only item announced so far for this week’s Collision. For the second consecutive week the show will start at 7 p.m. Eastern time.
