Bandido Defeats Katsuyori Shibata to Retain ROH World Championship on Tonight’s AEW Collision

Bandido continues to reign as ROH World Champion.

Tonight’s episode of AEW Collision saw the masked wrestler defend the ROH World Title against The Opps’ Katsuyori Shibata in the opening contest.

The match saw both wrestlers trade near falls, with Shibata nailing a Butterfly Suplex and Bandido hitting the X-knee and following it up with the 21-Plex, a Shooting Star Press, and more.

In the end, Shibata tried to lowblow Bandido, but the defending champion caught his hand and turned it into a pinning combination to retain his gold.

Bandido’s reign as ROH World Champion currently stands at 462 days. He defeated Chris Jericho in a Title vs. Mask match to capture the prestigious championship at AEW Dynasty 2025.
