Tony Khan officially announces former WWE champion’s “first time ever” match in AEW

AEW President Tony Khan has just announced a blockbuster match taking place less than two weeks from now featuring a former WWE Superstar. This will be another first-time matchup between the two athletes as part of this year’s Continental Classic.

The tournament has started on a high note this week, with several incredible matches taking place across Dynamite and Collision. With the tournament set to go on for the rest of the month, several other blockbuster clashes are coming the fans’ way.

Tony Khan has just announced that at Winter is Coming on December 11, former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ricochet will be facing off against Brody King in a Gold League match. This will be each star’s second match in the tournament. Brody currently has three points after defeating Darby Allin, and the high-flyer stands at the bottom of the table after a tough loss to Claudio Castagnoli.
