AEW Ladies’s World Champion Toni Storm vs. Stardom’s AZM
A number of first going down with this match proper right here; the most important one being this Saturday evening marks the debut of Stardom’s AZM (pronounced Azumi) in All Elite Wrestling! She was a part of the distinctive Stardom Trios match at ROH’s SUPERCARD OF HONOR 2024 occasion final weekend, and now she’s coming to AEW to take a shot at AEW Ladies’s World Champion Toni Storm in an Eliminator bout!
That brings us to the opposite first, this match additionally marks the primary time Toni Storm and AZM have collided in singles competitions! Throughout Storm’s tenure in Stardom, the 2 ladies have been on reverse sides of a pair of Trios matches, with AZM and her Queen’s Quest companions profitable one, and Toni’s group profitable the opposite. The 2 ladies would by no means meet once more throughout Storm’s time in Japan, however now that the 2-Time Excessive Velocity Champion is right here in All Elite Wrestling, she is gunning straight for the highest of the meals chain in hopes of incomes a future championship match! As for somewhat background on AZM, she began her wrestling coaching at simply 9 years previous, made her debut at twelve, and since then the now-21 yr previous prodigy has captured the Stardom Excessive Velocity Championship twice, a title for which she holds the report for many defenses at 12 throughout her second reign, in addition to a former 3-Time Artist of Stardom (Trios) Champion.
This will probably be fairly the take a look at for The Timeless One, as it is going to be AZM, and after what occurred Wednesday evening with Thunder Rosa, Toni Storm higher have eyes behind her head in case “La Mera Mera” comes for some revenge!
Blackpool Fight Membership (Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli) vs.
Don Callis Household (ROH World TV Champion Kyle Fletcher & Powerhouse Hobbs)
With DYNASTY 2024 simply eight days away, The Don Callis Household is trying to soften up “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson forward of his combat with Will Ospreay, in addition to Claudio Castagnoli prematurely of his combat with Ospreay on DYNAMITE in Indianapolis.
With that in thoughts, Don Callis is sending Powerhouse Hobbs and ROH World TV Champion Kyle Fletcher after The Blackpool Fight Membership this Saturday evening! Now Danielson and Fletcher had an amazing singles match again in October, and he is fought bout Claudio and Bryan in tag staff conditions after they had Wheeler Yuta as their associate, however that is the primary time Powerhouse Hobbs has interacted with both Danielson or Castagnoli, and that alone makes this match fairly an intriguing bout.
Now Bryan and Claudio are 3-1 as a staff, the lone blemish on their report coming final yr towards Massive Invoice and Ricky Starks, whereas Hobbs and Fletcher are 1-1 with their final match being a shedding effort within the Wild Card spherical of the AEW World Tag Title Match. These are two pairs comprised of rivals who praise one another splendidly, who steadiness out the skills of the one different, and create two of essentially the most threatening duos in All Elite Wrestling. Will Don Callis’ plan repay this Saturday evening on COLLISION, or will The BCC add one other blemish to this DCF staff’s report?
Lee Moriarty vs. Katsuyori Shibata
As a direct consequence of Chris Jericho pulling HOOK away from their nook simply as Katsuyori Shibata was making an attempt to make a tag, Lee Moriarty was in a position to safe a pinfall victory over “The Wrestler” with somewhat assist from the suitable hand of Shane Taylor.
Now, simply three days faraway from that vast victory, Shane Taylor Promotions has received some critical enterprise forward of them throughout this three hour wrestling extravaganza on TNT, and it begins with #Taigastyle taking over Shibata in a singles bout! The 2 had an amazing ROH Pure Championship bout final Could that was received by Shibata, and Moriarty has been hungry to get again within the ring with “The Wrestler” ever since.
Nicely he is received his alternative on Saturday evening, however he’ll be coping with an indignant man in Shibata, particularly with how soiled STP did him to get their win on DYNAMITE. Moriarty could also be ecstatic proper now that he received a pinfall on Shibata, however after COLLISION is over, he will not be so proud of the prize he received for that victory.
The Home of Black (Brody King, Buddy Matthews, & Malakai Black) vs. Motion Andretti, Dante Martin, & Matt Sydal
FTW CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH…
2-Time FTW Champion HOOK prepared entered into an settlement with Chris Jericho, an settlement to permit Jericho to function a mentor of kinds, however an settlement that was sought out by the unique AEW World Champion not by HOOK. That being stated “The Chilly-Hearted Good-looking Satan” and “Lionheart” have proven promise collectively as a staff, a minimum of they did earlier than this previous Wednesday evening when Jericho purposefully pulled HOOK from Katsuyori Shibata’s tag. That selection by Jericho led to an argument with HOOK whereas the match was nonetheless occurring, distracting each people from being there to avoid wasting Shibata from Shane Taylor and Lee Moriarty.
Nicely this Saturday evening, as a part of BATTLE OF THE BELTS X, HOOK will get to face on his personal phrases when he faces the person up entrance of Shane Taylor Promotions, the heavy handed Shane Taylor! Taylor, having just lately added Olympic medalist Anthony Ogogo to the STP steady, is feeling extremely good proper now, and selecting up that victory on Wednesday solely bolstered that, and now he is hoping to proceed that momentum as properly carry STP its first championship since coming into AEW.
HOOK is combating mad after DYNAMITE, mad at Jericho for a way he value them the match, and made at Shane Taylor Promotions for a way they received the victory, and with regards to HOOK, he is that quiet mad, the type that’s scary to behold when it get unleashed, and Saturday throughout BOTB X, it should get unleashed on Shane Taylor Promotions!
AEW Worldwide Champion Roderick Sturdy(c) vs. Rocky “Azucar” Romero
Roderick Sturdy and Rocky Romero have a protracted historical past collectively, one which dates again twenty years to the early days of Ring of Honor Wrestling. In 2004 it was Rocky and his associate Ricky Reyes, collectively often known as The Havana Pitbulls, reigning as ROH Tag Group Champions whereas Roddy and his associate Jack Evans, each members of the Technology Subsequent steady, tried in useless to dethrone the champs on a number of events, most notably at WEEKEND OF THUNDER: NIGHT 1. However even after The Havana Pitbulls misplaced the titles, it wasn’t the top of the Rocky and Roddy story, not by a protracted shot. The 2 males would interact in some memorable battles in Professional Wrestling Guerrilla, together with the stacked BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES 2006 event, and in 2007 they might really unite in ROH to kind The No Regret Corps. Though the 2 by no means received tag gold collectively, regardless of a number of clashes with The Briscoes over these titles, they have been fairly an excellent duo, and even when the NRC’s run got here to an finish, it wasn’t due to any falling out between Rocky and Roderick.
Quick ahead sixteen years to All Elite Wrestling and what a special panorama it’s now, what a special dynamic there may be between these two males. Roderick now stands as AEW Worldwide Champion and member of The Undisputed Kingdom with Matt Taven, Mike Bennett, Wardlow, and Adam Cole whereas Rocky Romero stood alongside Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta, and Chuck Taylor.

It was solely two months in the past on RAMAPGE that Roderick and firm laid out Rocky after profitable a Trios match over him, Trent, and Orange, and Sturdy delivered an Finish of Heartache to Rocky on a multitude of metallic folding chairs. Rocky hasn’t forgotten, and he goals to get redemption by including that Worldwide Title to his spectacular championship resume, however first should come Eliminator victory this Saturday throughout BATTLE OF THE BELTS X!
ROH WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH…
For 490 days “The Fallen Goddess”Athena has reigned as ROH Ladies’s World Champion, the longest reign ever with that title, and as a matter of reality, in the entire of ROH’s twenty-two yr historical past there are solely 4 champions who’ve held a title longer than her: Nigel McGuinness and RUSH’s second with the ROH World Title, Jay Deadly together with his second World TV Title reign, and Samoa Joe with each of these championships. Other than Jay Deadly, none of them put within the quantity of title defenses of their 490 days as Athena has completed, and it definitely appears like she’s on her option to dwelling as much as the “Ceaselessly Champion” moniker she bestowed upon herself months in the past, particularly after her victory over 3-Time AEW Ladies’s World Champion Hikaru Shida at SUPERCARD OF HONOR 2024.
However this Saturday evening Athena goes to be examined as soon as once more, this time by a lady she’s by no means confronted earlier than in any trend however one who earned her option to this title alternative together with her 5-1 report in Ring of Honor, and her performances within the ROH Ladies’s World TV Title Match. Actually, if it wasn’t for Queen Aminata narrowly beating her within the Semi-Finals, we could also be calling Pink Velvet the champion relatively than Billie Starkz! With that chance having slipped by her fingers, Pink Velvet has a second likelihood to make championship success her personal when she battles Athena this Saturday throughout BATTLE OF THE BELTS X!
