AEW Wrestledream: Multiple Matches Announced, Updated Match Card And More
The fever pitch of excitement in the world of professional wrestling just took another significant notch higher. All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is pulling out all stops with its upcoming event, ‘WrestleDream’. With a myriad of matches just added to the already star-studded card, this pay-per-view (PPV) event is bound to be a spectacle.
AEW WrestleDream isn’t just another event on the calendar, it’s a tribute. The event commemorates the late Antonio Inoki, a revered figure in professional wrestling, especially in Japan. In the spirit of celebrating his indelible impact on the sport, some of the biggest names and champions from various wrestling promotions are set to lock horns.
One of the most anticipated clashes comes in the form of a duel between Eddie Kingston and Katsuyori Shibata. Kingston, who has been vocal about wanting a match that truly honors Inoki, is gearing up to defend his two titles: the NJPW STRONG and ROH World Championships. Standing opposite him is Katsuyori Shibata, the ROH Pure Champion. Both competitors have their legacy and titles on the line, and the tension is palpable. With Kingston’s gritty fighting style and Shibata’s martial arts background, fans can expect a match filled with intensity and technical prowess.
AEW regulars and viewers of ‘AEW Collision’ received a bombshell announcement last Saturday. In a move that nobody saw coming, Chris Jericho is teaming up with Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi. Their opponents? None other than the formidable Don Callis Family. This development came hot on the heels of a jaw-dropping episode of ‘AEW Rampage’. The episode witnessed Sammy Guevara’s alignment with the Don Callis Family, leading to a tumultuous segment that saw Kenny Omega’s return, ensuring Jericho wasn’t left in the lurch. The trio of Jericho, Omega, and Ibushi, three of the most accomplished and charismatic wrestlers today, taking on the devious combination of Konosuke Takeshita, Sammy Guevara, and Will Ospreay is a bout that promises fireworks.
Elsewhere, the TBS Championship has become a focal point of contention. Julia Hart, with an impeccable record this year, has thrown down the gauntlet to the current champion, Kris Statlander. Statlander, a wrestler known for her athleticism and agility, faces perhaps her most significant challenge to date against the up-and-coming Hart.
While the TBS title scene heats up, the TNT Championship finds itself amidst a storm of its own. Christian Cage, the newly-minted TNT Champion, is slated to defend his gold against Darby Allin. These two have had their differences and confrontations over time. Their solution? A grueling 2 Out Of 3 Falls match. The stipulation ensures that the better man will emerge victorious, with the loser having no excuses.
The tag team division is not to be left behind in this whirlwind of announcements. A tantalizing Four-Way Tag Team match is on the cards. The Young Bucks, known for their high-flying and innovative offense, will face three other teams in what promises to be a chaotic contest. The Lucha Bros, with their Mexican lucha libre style, the unlikely yet intriguing pairing of Hook & Orange Cassidy, and the hard-hitting Gunns, all compete for a chance to challenge the reigning Tag Team Champions at their choosing.
While these are the fresh additions, let’s not forget the previously announced matchups. Bryan Danielson will square off against Zack Sabre Jr., promising a technical wrestling clinic. “Hangman” Adam Page faces Swerve Strickland, each looking to climb the AEW ladder. For the AEW World Tag Team Championship, FTR defends their title against Aussie Open. The ROH World Tag Team Championship will see the dynamic duo of Adam Cole & MJF, under the moniker ‘Better Than You Bay Bay’, defend their titles against The Righteous.
In conclusion, AEW Wrestledream is setting up to be a transcendent event in the wrestling calendar. With a blend of established legends, rising stars, high stakes, and personal vendettas, the event promises something for every wrestling aficionado. As the countdown to Wrestledream continues, the wrestling world waits with bated breath, ready for a night of unparalleled action and drama.
