The card for this week’s live episode of AEW Collision on Saturday, August 9, is beginning to take shape, and it will feature the first title defense for the brand new TNT Champion, Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher will put his newly won championship on the line against the legendary New Japan Pro-Wrestling star, Tomohiro Ishii. The show will also feature a star-studded six-man tag team main event and a women’s trios match.
Stacked Card Announced for This Saturday’s AEW Collision
Three big matches have been officially announced for this Saturday’s live broadcast of AEW Collision. In what is sure to be a hard-hitting affair, the new TNT Champion, Kyle Fletcher, will make his very first defense of the title against the “Stone Pitbull,” Tomohiro Ishii. The main event of the evening will see the AEW World Champion, “Hangman” Adam Page, team up with the high-flying duo of JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey) to take on three members of the formidable Los Ingobernables de Facción (LFI) faction: Rush, Dralistico, and The Beast Mortos. Also on the card, the women’s division will be showcased in a trios match, as Willow Nightingale will team with Queen Aminata and Tay Melo to battle the dark and mysterious trio known as The Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue, and Thekla).
Fletcher’s First TNT Title Defense
All eyes will be on Kyle Fletcher as he makes his first defense of the TNT Championship just over a week after winning it. Fletcher captured the title from the legendary Dustin Rhodes on last week’s episode of Collision in a bloody and memorable Street Fight. The brutal nature of his victory and the vicious post-match assault he delivered to Rhodes immediately established him as a ruthless and dangerous champion. His first challenger, Tomohiro Ishii, is the perfect opponent to test his mettle. Ishii is a legend of NJPW and is known for his incredibly stiff, strong-style of wrestling. The match between the two is guaranteed to be a physical and intense battle for the “workhorse” championship of AEW.
Main Event Trios Action and Women’s Division Showcase
The six-man tag team main event features several of AEW’s top stars. The AEW World Champion, Hangman Page, will look to continue his momentum after a successful title defense against Jon Moxley on last week’s Dynamite. He will team with the exciting duo of JetSpeed, who have been impressive in the ongoing AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament. Their opponents, LFI, are one of the most dangerous and cohesive factions in all of AEW, and they will be looking to score a major victory over the world champion. The women’s trios match will also be a highlight, as the popular Willow Nightingale teams with Queen Aminata and Tay Melo to take on the recently formed and very mysterious Triangle of Madness, a dark alliance that has been causing chaos in the women’s division.
Announced card for the Saturday, August 9 episode of AEW Collision:
- TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher (c) vs. Tomohiro Ishii
- Hangman Page, Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey vs. Rush, Dralistico & The Beast Mortos
- Willow Nightingale, Queen Aminata & Tay Melo vs. Thekla, Julia Hart & Skye Blue
