Kevin Kelly is joining AEW in a weekly commentary role.

In advance of the show debuting this Saturday, AEW has revealed the announce team for Collision. Kelly and Nigel McGuinness will be doing commentary for the show, and they'll be joined by "expert analysis" from Jim Ross.

Tony Khan tweeted: "#AEWCollision debuts TOMORROW NIGHT on @TNTdrama at 8pm ET/7pm CT at the @UnitedCenter in Chicago! We're going to have a great announce team on Saturday Nights with your new weekly commentary team @realkevinkelly + @McGuinnessNigel, joined by expert analysis from legend @JRsBBQ!"

Kelly is familiar with both of his Collision broadcast partners. He's previously worked with McGuinness in ROH and Ross in WWF/WWE.

"Set your DVR's or better yet, just watch LIVE! I'm thrilled to be working with my mate Nigel again and my old boss JR," Kelly wrote on Twitter.

Kelly confirmed that he'll still be doing commentary for NJPW despite his new AEW role. He's been an English-language commentator for NJPW since 2015.

AEW announced the signing of McGuinness this April.

Collision will air live on TNT from 8-10 p.m. Eastern time on Saturdays. Here are the matches that have been announced for the premiere episode:

  • CM Punk & FTR vs. Samoa Joe, Jay White & Juice Robinson
  • TNT Champion Wardlow defends against Luchasaurus
  • Miro in action
  • Willow Nightingale & Skye Blue vs. Toni Storm & Ruby Soho
  • Andrade vs. Buddy Matthews
