International title defense signed for AEW Collision
AEW International Champion Kazuchika Okada will put his title on the line against Kevin Knight as part of this Saturday’s AEW Collision.
It will be the third time the two have squared off and the first since Knight upset Okada in last year’s Continental Classic. The two also went one-on-one earlier last year in a Continental title eliminator that Okada won.
Knight, Mike Bailey and Mistico defeated Okada, Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher for the AEW Trios titles at this month’s Revolution pay-per-view.
Since losing to Jon Moxley in the Continental Classic finals at December’s Worlds End, Okada is 3-0 with two successful title defenses (Adam Priest, AR Fox). Knight is 4-2 in his last six and is coming off a recent win over El Clon.
