Vignette On AEW Dynamite & Collision Teases New Arrival

AEW teased the arrival of a new face in a mysterious vignette on this week’s AEW Dynamite and Collision. The vignette aired toward the end of Wednesday night’s show, featuring shots of a man in a suit seemingly conducting the music of the video while a metronome clicked. The video was intercut with footage from the knees down of the same person running the ropes in the ring.

You can see the AEW Dynamite and Collision clip below. The most rampant speculation online is that the person is Ilja Dragunov, who exited WWE in late August. However, that is not yet confirmed.

There’s no word on when the new face may show up on AEW TV. The company presents AEW WrestleDream this weekend on PPV.
