The onslaught of AEW Continental Classic tournament matches this weekend will continue on Saturday’s AEW Collision as Kazuchika Okada will take on Kyle Fletcher in Blue league action.

Thus far in the tournament, Okada (seen above) went to a draw with Daniel Garcia and will face former Ring of Honor World Champion Mark Briscoe on Friday’s Rampage (being taped Wednesday). Conversely, Fletcher is coming off last Saturday’s win over The Beast Mortos and Wednesday’s victory over Shelton Benjamin.

It will be their second-ever singles meeting following their first: a September 2024 Dynamite bout where Okada successfully defended the Continental title.

The new addition joins the previously announced Classic bouts that include Garcia vs. Briscoe in the Blue league, and Darby Allin vs. Komander in Gold league action.

Here’s the current lineup for Saturday in Columbus, Ohio:

  • Continental Classic Blue league: Kazuchika Okada vs. Kyle Fletcher
  • Continental Classic Gold league: Komander vs. Darby Allin
  • Continental Classic Blue league: Daniel Garcia vs. Mark Briscoe
  • International Women’s Cup qualifier: Willow Nightingale vs. Serena Deeb
  • Mina Shirakawa vs. Emi Sakura
