According to a new report from PWInsider, WWE Hall of Famer John “Bradshaw” Layfield will make his return to WWE programming during this Saturday’s highly anticipated Worlds Collide event. While his role isn’t known yet, the former WWE Champion also appeared at the May 31st AAA event, where El Hijo del Vikingo defeated Alberto Del Rio to win the AAA Mega Championship.
Worlds Collide Match Card Features WWE, NXT, & AAA Stars
The WWE Worlds Collide special is set to feature a rare blend of WWE, NXT, and AAA talent, showcasing inter-promotional dream matches and unique encounters fans won’t see anywhere else.
Among the most anticipated matchups is the AAA Mega Championship bout, where El Hijo del Vikingo will defend the title against WWE RAW Superstar Chad Gable. Gable, known for his exceptional technical ability, is stepping into unfamiliar territory against the high-flying AAA Champion in a main event match that could steal the show.
Gable will pull double duty this Saturday. After the Worlds Collide event, Gable will also compete in the Men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match later in the night, competing under a mask as El Grande Americano.
Another title bout sees the NXT North American Championship on the line in a high-octane four-way match. Ethan Page will defend against Rey Fénix, Laredo Kid, and Je’Von Evans. With three luchadores in the mix, this promises to be a fast-paced and chaotic contest.
Worlds Collide Brings Women’s Wrestling to the Forefront
Women’s wrestling also takes center stage at Worlds Collide. Stephanie Vaquer & Lola Vice will team up to take on Chik Tormenta & Dalys in a tag team bout featuring top-tier talent from both WWE and AAA’s women’s divisions.
More International Flair at Worlds Collide
Other matches include Legado Del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Angel, and Berto) going up against El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Pagano, and Psycho Clown, as well as a six-man tag match with Lince Dorado and LWO’s Dragon Lee & Cruz Del Toro taking on Mr. Iguana, Aero Star & Octagón Jr.
With its blend of styles, stars, and surprises—including the return of JBL—Worlds Collide is shaping up to be one of the most unique WWE events of the year.
