Blackpool Combat Club teaming with Katsuyori Shibata on AEW Collision
Two members of the Blackpool Combat Club will team with Katsuyori Shibata in trios action on this Saturday’s AEW Collision.
Shibata will tag up with Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli to take on The Righteous & Lance Archer as part of the action in London, Ontario, Canada.
This comes after the events of the March 16th Collision when Dutch and Vincent attacked Castagnoli during his match with Archer. Shibata, who had faced Danielson earlier in the night, ran out to make the save with a chair.
In another new addition, former AEW Tag Team Champions Big Bill & Ricky Starks will take on Top Flight in the quarterfinals of the AEW Tag Team title tournament. The winners will face the winners of FTR vs. The Infantry which is also taking place Saturday.
Kyle O’Reilly will look to make it 2-0 in his return to action as he faces an opponent that was not named.
The additions join the previously-announced “Cope Open” challenge from new TNT Champion Adam Copeland.
Here’s the current card:
- Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli & Katsuyori Shibata vs. The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) & Lance Archer
- AEW Tag Team title tournament quarterfinal: Top Flight (Darius & Dante Martin) vs. Ricky Starks & Big Bill
- AEW Tag Team title tournament quarterfinal: FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) vs. The Infantry (Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo)
