You can check out the updated lineup for tonight’s episode of AEW Collision below:
* AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Match: Toni Storm vs. AZM
* Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli vs. Powerhouse Hobbs & Kyle Fletcher
* Lee Moriarty vs. Katsuyori Shibata
* House of Black vs. Dante Martin, Action Andretti & Matt Sydal
And finally, AEW Rampage will be airing on Saturday night next week. There are expected to be many preemptions in the coming weeks due to TNT’s coverage of the NBA Playoffs. Next week’s episode of AEW Rampage will air live on Saturday night immediately after Collision.
TNT also has NHL Playoff double-headers set for April 26th, May 3rd, May 10th, and May 17th which means AEW Rampage will likely be bumped to other times for those weeks too.
Riho, the talented professional wrestler, recently took to Twitter to inform her fans that she is currently undergoing the visa renewal process in Japan. As a result, she is uncertain about when she will be able to return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). In her tweet, she expressed her gratitude for the support and urged her fans to stay healthy and enjoy their lives until her return.
Riho’s announcement has left many fans concerned about her well-being and eagerly awaiting her comeback. Her last appearance on AEW Dynamite was on March 13th, and since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating her return to the ring.
The news of Riho’s visa renewal process highlights the challenges that international wrestlers face when working in different countries. Visa renewals can be time-consuming and complicated, often requiring extensive paperwork and documentation. It is not uncommon for wrestlers to take breaks from their careers to handle these administrative matters.
While Riho’s absence may disappoint her fans, it also presents an opportunity for other talented wrestlers to shine in her absence. AEW has a deep roster of talented women wrestlers who can step up and deliver exciting matches in Riho’s absence. This period can be seen as a chance for these wrestlers to showcase their skills and make a name for themselves.
In other AEW news, the lineup for tonight’s episode of AEW Collision has been announced. The show will feature an AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Match between Toni Storm and AZM. Additionally, Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli will team up to face Powerhouse Hobbs and Kyle Fletcher. Lee Moriarty will go head-to-head with Katsuyori Shibata, and House of Black will take on Dante Martin, Action Andretti, and Matt Sydal.
Furthermore, AEW Rampage will be airing on Saturday night next week due to TNT’s coverage of the NBA Playoffs. This scheduling change is expected to continue in the coming weeks, with AEW Rampage likely being preempted on several occasions. TNT has NHL Playoff double-headers set for April 26th, May 3rd, May 10th, and May 17th, which means AEW Rampage will likely be moved to different time slots during those weeks.
In conclusion, Riho’s announcement about her visa renewal process has left fans eagerly awaiting her return to AEW. While her absence may be disappointing, it provides an opportunity for other talented wrestlers to showcase their skills. Additionally, AEW Collision and AEW Rampage continue to offer exciting matchups, despite potential scheduling changes due to the NBA Playoffs and NHL Playoffs. Fans can look forward to thrilling wrestling action in the weeks to come.
