Sting and Darby Allin need to find a partner for a trio match this Sunday (June 25) at the Forbidden Door against Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara and Minoru Suzuki. Darby promised to reveal the name of her mystery partner on tonight’s (June 24) episode of AEW Collision.
Tony Schiavone was in the ring trying to get Sting and Darby out for the official announcement, but Jericho and Suzuki came out instead. Guevara wasn’t there at all. Chris praised his friendship with Minoru before demanding answers from Schiavone.
That’s when Sting and Darby came out to give Chris the answer he was looking for. Her partner is a man who once kicked Jericho’s ass in the Tokyo Dome: Tetsuya Naito
Sting has never lost a match in AEW, so Naito might kick Jericho’s ass one more time in a pro wrestling ring.
Here’s the updated lineup for tomorrow night’s PPV:
• Bryan Danielson versus Kazuchika Okada
• Kenny Omega (c) vs. Will Ospreay for the United States IWGP Championship
• SANADA (c) vs. Jungle Jack Perry for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title
