Skye Blue vs. Mina Shirakawa added to AEW Collision lineup
Four new matches have been added to this week’s AEW Collision lineup, including a Mina Shirakawa vs. Skye Blue women’s division battle.
The new matches for Saturday’s Collision were made official during Wednesday’s Dynamite. Shirakawa, coming off an unsuccessful Women’s World title challenge at Double or Nothing, will face Blue in the latter’s first one-on-one contest since last July. Blue was sidelined for much of the past year due to injury.
In another new bout for Saturday’s episode, The Don Callis Family’s Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, and Konosuke Takeshita will face Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Tomohiro Ishii in a trios matchup.
AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada will face Anthony Bowens in a title eliminator bout on the card. Also added is a trios bout with Rush, Dralistico, and The Beast Mortos taking on Top Flight and AR Fox.
Already set for the show are a pair of International title match qualifiers, with Claudio Castagnoli vs. Komander, and Hechicero vs. Mascara Dorada. The winners will advance to next Wednesday’s title match at Fyter Fest to face International title holder Kenny Omega and Brody King for the belt.
Saturday’s Collision will air at 8 p.m. Eastern time or shortly after the conclusion of TNT’s NBA Playoffs coverage. The show will also stream on Max. Saturday’s episode is being taped Wednesday night in El Paso.
