Interesting Names Backstage At AEW Collision This Week

AEW is getting a lot of focus because they fired CM Punk, but the company still has a show tonight. AEW Collision is coming from Chicago, as they gear up for All Out this Sunday. It turns out that a couple interesting names are backstage at Collision.

The Elite hadn’t traveled to Collision much, because it was CM Punk’s show. Now that he is no longer with the company, that is no longer a worry at all.

AEW is gearing up for tonight’s go-home edition of Collision, a crucial buildup to Sunday’s All Out pay-per-view event. Notably, the show’s focus has shifted away from CM Punk, who has been released by the promotion following the altercation with Jack Perry at All In.

AEW has already unveiled an exciting lineup, featuring Ricky Starks’ challenge to Ricky Steamboat in a strap match at All Out, a bout between Dax Harwood and Jay White, and a special appearance by NBA legend Dennis Rodman.

According to PW Insider, backstage reports reveal the presence of Bryan Danielson and The Young Bucks. Danielson, who has been recovering from a broken arm since June, received an update on Friday indicating a potential return to action in October, possibly in time for the October 1st WrestleDream PPV.

We will have to see if Bryan Danielson makes his return to AEW television. He might not be 100% healed, but they could certainly use his star power. If anything, Bryan Danielson helps Tony Khan out tremendously behind the scenes.

You can check out the complete AEW Collision lineup below. Only time will tell how it all turns out, but it could be an interesting show in Chicago. Also, leave your comments in the space below!
