Jeff Jarrett vs. Eddie Kingston & Andrade El Idolo vs. Bryan Danielson “Dream Match” Announced for Saturday’s AEW Collision Show

Friday’s taped AEW Rampage show in Rosenberg, Texas featured two new matches officially announced for the card for this Saturday’s Collision show in Memphis, Tennessee.

The first new match announced was Memphis Street Fight match of Jeff Jarrett vs. Eddie Kingston.

This match was setup following a backstage segment involving Jay Lethal, Jarrett, and Kingston that was taped at this past Wednesday’s Dynamite show but aired for tonight’s show. Lethal bashed Kingston for being not worthy to hold the ROH World title and claimed that he would never be as good as a champion as he was nor Homicide. This led to ROH Board of Director Stokely Hathaway announcing a Memphis Street Fight match between Jarrett and Kingston for Saturday’s Collision show with the stipulation that if Jarret won, then Lethal would get a shot at Kingston’s ROH World title at this Saturday’s Battle of the Belts VIII event.

TOMORROW NIGHT!@RealJeffJarrett will take on #ROH World & #NJPW Strong Openweight Champion #EddieKingston in a Memphis Street Fight!

If Jarrett wins, @TheLethalJay will get a shot at the #ROH World Title!
