In a highly anticipated grudge match, “Zodiac” Zak Knight is set to make his AEW in-ring debut as he faces off against Cool Hand Ang on tonight’s episode of Collision.
The announcement of Knight’s debut match was made during AEW’s Control Center video promoting the episode. Knight, who is the brother of AEW star Saraya, has previously competed in ROH but has yet to step into the AEW ring until now. Saraya revealed Knight’s AEW signing during a recent episode of Rampage, highlighting his involvement in her feud against Ruby Soho and Cool Hand Ang.
Viewers got a taste of the intensity between Cool Hand Ang and Knight during a backstage brawl featured on last night’s Rampage. Following the altercation, Cool Hand Ang delivered a passionate post-show promo, setting the stage for their showdown tonight.
Tonight’s Collision will be broadcast live from the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and promises an action-packed lineup. Alongside the clash between Cool Hand Ang and Zak Knight, fans can expect thrilling matchups including Bryan Danielson vs. Katsuyori Shibata, Kyle O’Reilly vs. Bryan Keith, and an Open House match where TBS Champion Julia Hart defends her title against Trish Adora. Additionally, PAC will go head-to-head against Komander, and the AEW Tag Team title tournament will feature a wild card match between House of Black and The Infantry.
As anticipation builds for tonight’s event, fans eagerly await the debut of “Zodiac” Zak Knight in the AEW ring, promising an electrifying addition to the roster.
