Though 24, Hanako is an accomplished Stardom wrestler that currently holds the Blood Tag Team Titles with Waka Tsukiyama. The rising star may have never held a singles championship, but the Stardom prodigy has quickly become one of the best female athletes on the planet due to in-ring IQ. Will Hanako be able to use her smarts and speed to beat Red Velvet?

Komander and QT Marshall are set for a Proving Ground match. If Marshall can beat the newly crowned ROH TV Champion then he’ll be guaranteed a title shot. Though Marshall has yet to win a singles title in AEW, the veteran has over 20-years of experience in the squared circle. Komander is coming off an impressive performance in the C2 tournament, so the new AEW acquisition is riding high at the moment. Will QT Marshall remind viewers of his elite status by beating one of the top champions in the promotion?

Also, Homicide returns tonight with Rocky Romero as the duo is scheduled to fight Lio Rush and Action Andretti. The former will finally cash in on their number one contendership on this week’s Collision, but before Rush and Andretti meet Private Party, they have to deal with one of the most dangerous and unpredictable tag teams in the early days of ROH. Can Rush and Andretti get one over veterans Homicide and Rocky Romero?
