Title Tuesday just got more exciting.
Tony Khan stacked the upcoming AEW special on Collision with numerous matches that have strong potential to be match of the year.
It was already confirmed that Mercedes Mone would hold an open challenge to defend the TBS Championship, and she specifically stated that the challenge would be open to a Florida native.
Now on AEW’s roster, Diamante and Red Velvet are the only women born and raised in Florida. Velvet is currently out with an injury, so it can’t be her. It’s possible that Diamante may be the challenger as she recently made her return to ROH. Of course, it’s also possible that AEW brings in a non-contracted talent like they’ve done in the past. Cody Rhodes' open challenge run as the TBS Champion was infamous for that.
A Street Fight between The Demand and The Hurt Syndicate was also confirmed. Brodido will be in tag team action as they’ll face Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita in a double jeopardy eliminator match. It’s quite possible that this match could change by Tuesday since Bandido said his shoulder popped out of place during his CMLL match against Hechicero. Though Tony Khan has already addressed this and stated that the ROH World Champion was planning to power through his injury on Tuesday.
The other confirmed match was Kyle Fletcher defending his TNT Championship against Kyle O’Reilly. These two had a match on Collision back in June and the live audience had some fun with their chants during this bout.
Also, Tomohiro Ishii returns to AEW as the former NEVER Openweight Champion is scheduled to fight against Jon Moxley.
Below is the updated line-up for Tuesday’s special AEW episode.
