First time ever match added to AEW Collision Winter is Coming
A first time ever clash between the former AEW World Champion and the former TNA World Champion is set for AEW’s return to Cardiff, Wales.
Made during Saturday’s Collision, Swerve Strickland will take on Josh Alexander as part of next Saturday’s Collision version of Winter is Coming.
Alexander confronted Strickland Saturday, saying he was the one who deserved a World title shot and not Strickland. He said during Strickland’s injury absence, it’s not longer Strickland’s house but Don Callis’ house. Strickland issued a challenge for Cardiff which was later accepted.
It will be Strickland’s first singles match since a loss to Kazuchika Okada at August’s Forbidden Door and the first for Alexander since an October countout win over Kota Ibushi.
Strickland will first return to action this Wednesday, teaming with Hangman Page against Katsuyori Shibata and Powerhouse Hobbs.
The show will take place at a special start time of 4:30 PM Eastern.
