Adam Cole might just be days away from capturing his first AEW singles gold.
Cole will meet TNT Champion Daniel Garcia on Saturday’s live episode of AEW Collision from the Oakland Arena in Oakland, California.
The title bout was booked after Cole scored a clean pinfall win over Garcia on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite, beating him as part of a six-man tag match.
Garcia has held the TNT title since November when he scored an 18-minute win over Jack Perry at Full Gear. Title bouts from Garcia have become a frequent part of Collision since then, as he defended his belt three times on the program last month. Past victories include wins over Katsuyori Shibata and Mark Briscoe.
Cole has yet to pick up a singles championship since crossing over to AEW. His sole title reign since joining the promotion was a ROH World Tag Team Championships run alongside MJF, briefly forming a duo known as “Better Than You Bay Bay.”
It was also announced on Wednesday that FTR vs. Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong will take place on Collision. In a promo segment, Kenny Omega will speak ahead of his Revolution match against Konosuke Takeshita.
Here’s the lineup for this weekend’s show currently:
- Daniel Garcia vs. Adam Cole (TNT Championship)
- FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) vs. Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong
- We’ll hear from Kenny Omega
