Following Wednesday night’s three-hour TV special from AEW, it looks like we have a completed version of this year’s WrestleDream pay-per-view lineup.
A total of 12 matchups are set to take place on Saturday night at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri, along with an appearance from TBS Champion Mercedes Moné.
While not currently booked for a match on Saturday’s show, Moné confirmed on Wednesday night that she’ll be at WrestleDream this weekend. The event comes just one day after she will break the record previously held by Jade Cargill for the longest TBS Championship reign of all time.
“Yes, your champion, your CEO will be making her way to WrestleDream,” Moné said during an interview on Wednesday. “But I’ll be coming in with all of my 10 titles and as the longest TBS Champion of all time.”
The appearance will be part of a packed weekend for Moné. On Friday, she’ll face Persephone at Arena Mexico in a title matchup. Then, on Sunday, she’ll head to Winnipeg, meeting Jody Threat at Winnipeg Pro Wrestling’s Rumble in the Burt event, aiming to claim the Canadian indie women’s title.
Two more matchups were also confirmed for the “Saturday Tailgate Brawl,” a one-hour pre-show airing on TNT at 7 p.m. ET.
It was announced that The Conglomeration will take on the Death Riders in a big eight-man tag bout as part of the pre-show.
While Roderick Strong still rejects being part of the faction, he’ll team with The Conglomeration’s Kyle O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy, Tomohiro Ishii to take on Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, PAC & Wheeler Yuta.
The pre-show will also see Eddie Kingston and Hook issue an open challenge to any other tag team on the AEW roster. Kingston noted on Wednesday that he is focused on competing in the tag division after scoring a pair of singles wins over La Faccion Ingobernable members on recent episodes of Collision.
In a slight change, it was also confirmed that a trios bout between The Hurt Syndicate and The Demand will be a tornado tag team match.
