A big week in Arena Mexico kicks off with tonight’s AEW & ROH vs. CMLL event from the famed Arena Mexico — an appetizer before AEW’s official debut with Wednesday’s Grand Slam Mexico. In the main event, ROH World Champion Bandido will defend against CMLL’s Mascara Dorada in their first ever meeting. It will be Bandido’s second defense of the title he won at April’s Dynasty.

The following are spoilers for the Saturday, April 26 AEW Collision Playoff Palooza episode. Saturday’s show was taped Wednesday night in New Orleans at the Lakefront Arena. Spoilers and commentary are from Suit Williams. ********** Swerve Strickland came out for a promo but the Young Bucks cut him off immediately and moved his scheduled match up…to RIGHT NOW. Swerve got jumped by Johnson, disposed of him, then got jumped by the Bucks. Kenny Omega made the save, and fist bumped with Swerve afterward.

A night after delivering a memorable performance in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, reigning TBS Champion Mercedes Mone will compete in tag team action on tonight’s live AEW Collision. The Boston native returns home for the second consecutive night, this time teaming with Harley Cameron against Kris Statlander and Julia Hart with AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm on commentary. Mone will face the winner of Statlander vs. Hayter in the finals of the women’s Owen tourney next month.
