Cope’s return to singles action part of AEW Collision lineup

A non-title match featuring AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May, a bout between two former AEW titleholders, and a first time ever clash have been announced for this Saturday’s Collision.

After they squared off as part of a trios bout last Saturday, Cope (the former Adam Copeland) will take on Big Bill for the first time ever. It will be Cope’s first singles match since he fractured his tibia in a barbed wire cage match with Malakai Black at last May’s Double or Nothing.

In another match coming out of that encounter, former AEW World Champion and current ROH World Champion Chris Jericho will take on former AEW Tag Team Champion Dax Harwood in a non-title bout. It will be their second-ever singles match and the first since an April 2021 match that featured Mike Tyson as special enforcer.

Reigning Women’s Champion Mariah May will take on Harley Cameron after Cameron challenged her in her own unique way on Wednesday’s Dynamite.

Here’s a look at the current announced lineup from Athens, Georgia:

  • AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May vs. Harley Cameron in a non-title match
  • ROH World Champion Chris Jericho vs. Dax Harwood in a non-title match
  • Cope vs. Big Bill
