Who’s next for the Hurt Syndicate? We’re just days away from finding out.
A #1 contenders match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships will take place on Saturday’s episode of Collision, determining who will face Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin next.
The duo of Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara will take on Action Andretti and Lio Rush in the #1 contenders match, which was taped on Wednesday evening immediately following a live episode of Dynamite.
Both teams approached the Hurt Syndicate regarding a title fight on this week’s episode of Dynamite shortly after the tag champs beat Top Flight. MVP suggested that the two teams could face off in a #1 contenders bout to determine who would earn a title shot. The matchup was confirmed for Collision later that evening.
Rhodes and Guevara are currently chasing a second pair of tag titles. Billed as “The Sons of Texas,” they have held the ROH World Tag Team Championships since last August.
Andretti and Rush, known as CRU, have yet to claim a title since working together in AEW.
Collision is back to its usual timeslot and channel this week, airing at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday evening on TNT. A special Beach Break edition of the show will feature appearances from Megan Bayne, Mike Bailey, and Kyle Fletcher, and will also include a tribute to the late Steve “Mongo” McMichael.
