Claudio Castagnoli has sealed the final spot in the semifinal stage of the ongoing AEW Continental Challenge Cup.

Tonight’s episode of AEW Collision featured the fourth quarterfinal of the inaugural tournament between Death Riders members Claudio Castagnoli and Daniel Garcia.

The final stretch of the match saw Castagnoli respond to a slap from Garcia with a European Uppercut, a double Stomp, a deadlift Powerbomb, and finally a Sharpshooter to secure the victory via submission.

Castagnoli joins Death Riders’ stablemate Jon Moxley, Nigel McGuinness, and Kyle O’Reilly in the semifinals. O’Reilly defeated Orange Cassidy earlier in the show to book his spot.

Claudio was originally scheduled to take on Eddie Kingston in the quarterfinals. However, Kingston was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. Danile Garcia defeated Adam Priest at ROH Death Before Dishonor to secure his spot.
