With both a regular episode of Collision and their eighth Battle of the Belts special on tap for Oct. 21, this Saturday night is a big one for AEW. There were only a few things announced for the show(s) in Memphis heading into tonight, but they used Dynamite to add several more.
BotB8 already had a Trios title bout, and now it will has TBS and International championship matches too. Kris Statlander will put her belt on the line against Willow Nightingale. Orange Cassidy will defend his against the winner of a John Silver/Kip Sabian/Brother Zay Triple Threat that will take place on Rampage.
