Kenny Omega returning to action as part of announced AEW Collision lineup
Ahead of his match with Zack Sabre Jr. at Forbidden Door, former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega will return to the ring on this Saturday’s AEW Collision.
Omega will face Sabre Jr.’s TMDK factionmate Bad Dude Tito in his first match since Stadium Stampede at May’s Double or Nothing. This will be their first-ever meeting.
The show will also feature former AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks against The Dogs who are on the hunt for their own title shot.
In a street fight born out of Dynamite, the Jon Moxley-led Death Riders will take on Shane Taylor Promotions in a ten-person street fight.
The announced card is rounded out by a TBS title Survival of the Fittest qualifier between CMLL Women’s Champion Persephone and Julia Hart.
The show will be taped Thursday in Cincinatti, Ohio.
