After reappearing and disappearing last fall, Andrade El Idolo will finally make his in-ring return on this Saturday’s Maximum Carnage edition of Collision.
Andrade will take on Angelico in his return bout after making his surprise on-screen return last week. Following his WWE release, he appeared on AEW TV and attacked Kenny Omega but soon disappeared as his non-compete clause was still in place.
The AEW Trios titles will be on the line as The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs & Katsuyori Shibata) will defend against Hangman Page.
Prior to Wednesday’s Dynamite on social media, Joe said he was putting a bounty out on Page and that they would also put the titles up on the line Saturday with Page later finding two partners — JetSpeed — later on during the show. The three men teamed last August on Collision, defeating LFI.
In his first match since last December’s Worlds End, former TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher will team with El Clon and Josh Alexander against Skyflight after the Martins and Scorpio Sky issued their own challenge.
New Skyflight member Zayda Steel will make her AEW in-ring debut against Marina Shafir following their confrontation on last week’s Collision.
A rivalry will cross over from Ring of Honor and recent AEW TV as Eddie Kingston & Ortiz will battle the Grizzled Young Veterans.
Penelope Ford has been cleared from her recent injury and will team with Megan Bayne on Saturday against opponents to be named.
The show is rounded out by a National title eliminator between Jack Perry and Anthony Bowens with the winner facing Ricochet at a later date.
Saturday’s show will be taped after Wednesday’s Dynamite. We’ll have spoilers on our site as soon as we get them.
