Maya World & Hyan to Battle Hikaru Shida & Persephone on 8/8 AEW Collision

Another match has been added to this weekend’s episode of AEW Collision.

Earlier today, AEW GM Tony Khan announced via social media that TBS Champion Maya World will team up with Hyan to take on Hikaru Shida and CMLL World Women’s Champion Persephone in a tag team contest this Saturday night.

Notably, Persephone defeated Kris Statlander, thanks to an assist from Hikaru Shida, at Grand Slam: Mexico. Maya World and Hyan came to Statlander’s rescue during the post-match attack.

Here’s what Tony Khan wrote:

“#AEWCollision 8/7c, THIS SATURDAY, 8/8 @MayaWorldd/ @_thehyan vs Persephone/ @ShidaHikaru. After Persephone scored the win vs @callmekrisstat at Grand Slam Mexico with an assist from Shida, the TBS Champion Maya World & Hyan will collide vs. Persephone & Shida THIS SATURDAY!”
