A highly unusual matchup is on the horizon for AEW Grand Slam Australia, following the events that unfolded during Saturday's episode of AEW Collision.
In a swift and decisive victory, Orange Cassidy and Toni Storm dominated their opponents in a quick squash match. However, the celebration was cut short when Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir, members of the Death Riders, launched an ambush against them, reigniting their ongoing feud. In a dramatic twist, Yuta brandished a pair of scissors, threatening to chop off Cassidy's hair as payback for a remark Cassidy had made earlier in the week. But just in time, Storm intervened to thwart this hair-raising assault. In a bold move, she then extended a challenge for their return to Australia in February. The stakes? A hair vs. hair match where she and Cassidy will battle Yuta and Shafir.
It was later confirmed that in this exciting showdown, only the individual who loses will have their head shaved, rather than both competitors, adding even more drama to the confrontation. Additionally, the match is set to be a tornado tag format, promising chaos and high-energy action.
