Two title matches and the return of NJPW star Gabe Kidd highlight this Saturday’s AEW Collision lineup, being taped Wednesday in Phoenix, Arizona.
After Bandido began targeting Ring of Honor World Champion Chris Jericho (seen above) at last December’s ROH Final Battle, the former ROH World Champion will get his shot at regaining the title he hasn’t held since late-2021.
It will be a rematch from a September 2022 Dynamite where Jericho successfully defended the title in his first title reign.
The AEW Trios titles will be on the line as the Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, PAC & Wheeler Yuta) will put the gold on the line against TNT Champion Daniel Garcia, Matt Menard & Angelo Parker. The champions recently defended against the Undisputed Kingdom’s Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong.
NJPW men’s Strong Champion Gabe Kidd will make his return to AEW for the first time since last June’s Forbidden Door against an opponent to be named. Kidd’s last AEW TV appearance came just before that PPV in a tag team match on Rampage.
Max Caster will held another open challenge in hopes of scoring his first AEW singles win since a June 2023 house show.
The Murder Machines (Brian Cage & Lance Archer) have called out AEW Tag Team Champions The Hurt Syndicate in hopes of scoring a future title shot.
In a rematch from last October’s WrestleDream where they competed in a best-of-three falls match, Hologram will take on The Beast Mortos. Hologram picked up the win that night, but missed the better part of five months due to an injury and welcoming a new child into his family.
