To begin tonight’s episode of AEW Collision, it was announced that a former WWE name would not be on the show, with a replacement already stepping up in his stead at the commentary desk.
The Saturday show has been covered mainly by the duo of Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness, as they have provided an interesting dynamic to the fans with their constant banter. It was announced that for tonight’s show, McGuinness wouldnt be around to sit on commentary.
Schiavone revealed that Don Callis would be filling in for him for the full two hours of the show. Coincidentally, members of his faction are opening the show as Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher are clashing with Powerhouse Hobbs and Tomohiro Ishii.
During the times he has been a guest commentator while watching the members of his stable in action, Callis has been the snarky type, countering all of Schiavone’s comments at the desk. This may be the case for the next two hours, with the two of them being paired tonight.
Nigel McGuinness may be back tomorrow night for AEW Dynasty, as he has frequently been covering the promotion’s pay-per-views alongside the rest of the commentary team.
Enzo is a Pro Wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on AEW. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.
Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.
If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
