Pro wrestling fans are gearing up for an exciting week in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as the Continental Classic tournament rages on, with the competition heating up en route to WORLDS END. The wrestling world turned its eyes to Garland, TX, where AEW has made the Curtis Culwell Center its stomping ground since 2019. This marks the debut of COLLISION in this venue, and it promises to deliver an action-packed night of clashes.
One of the major headlines coming out of this week’s DYNAMITE was Brody King’s first loss in the tournament at the hands of Andrade El Idolo. Elevating El Idolo’s standing with a total of 9 points, the Blue League has become a battleground of wills and skills.
### Blue League Standings Heated Up
The Blue League action continues with a spectacular slate of matches. Claudio Castagnoli will square off against Andrade in a highly anticipated showdown. ROH World & NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion Eddie Kingston faces an old nemesis in Daniel Garcia, and Bryan Danielson accepts the colossal challenge of going head-to-head with Brody King.
### Eddie Kingston’s Uphill Battle
Kingston, having secured his first win over Claudio Castagnoli, must now face Daniel Garcia, who has yet to claim victory in the league. Despite challenging odds, Kingston remains in the fight with two vital matches ahead of him. In order to keep his hopes alive, he must triumph over Daniel Garcia and subsequently best Andrade El Idolo. Kingston’s journey, regardless of outcome, is a testament to the high-stakes nature of professional wrestling and the true grit of a champion willing to risk it all for greatness.
### Danielson vs. King: A Clash of Titans
Bryan Danielson, no stranger to adversity, continues to display unbending resolve despite a year filled with brutal matches and injuries. With two wins and one loss under his belt in the Classic, Danielson next faces Brody King, who also holds a 6-point standing. This contest promises to be more than just a match; it will be a fight for survival in the league, with the winner seizing a cozier spot – or perhaps just recovering enough to move on to their next demanding bout.
### Castagnoli’s Redemption Quest
Claudio Castagnoli’s road to redemption after a loss at DYNAMITE GRAND SLAM 2023 doesn’t get any easier as he confronts Andrade El Idolo. Andrade, under the new management of CJ Perry, remains undefeated and has shown a willingness to push the boundaries to secure his wins. For Claudio, the math is unforgiving; only by defeating Andrade and fellow BCC member Bryan Danielson in his subsequent match does he stand a chance at securing a spot in the finals.
### Bryan Keith: The AEW International Championship Contender
In a surprising turn of events, “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy’s challenger for the AEW International Championship on COLLISION will be “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith. The rising star made a significant impact during his ROH debut at FINAL BATTLE 2023, and now he’s set to seize an unexpected title opportunity against the champion. With Keith gaining recognition and Cassidy facing his own post-FINAL BATTLE 2023 hurdles, the title match is shrouded in unpredictability.
