Grizzled Young Veterans vs. The Acclaimed official for AEW Collision

A challenge made Thursday has been accepted and made into an official match for Saturday's AEW Collision.

On Thursday, it was revealed that free agents and former WWE NXT UK Tag Team Champions Grizzled Young Veterans would be making their AEW debut on Saturday's show and offered up a challenge to former AEW Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed.

On Friday, the match was officially announced for Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida.

Zack Gibson and James Drake have worked in various indies like Deadlock Pro, Pro Wrestling Revolver, RevPro, and PROGRESS in addition to TNA Wrestling since gaining their releases from WWE last fall.

On the flip side, Max Caster and Anthony Bowens will look to rebound from their loss to Bullet Club Gold for the unified AEW Trios titles at last Sunday's Dynasty.

The two have not been active in traditional tag team wrestling since focusing on trios matches. Caster and Bowens fell in defeat to The Gunns on last Saturday's Collision which was their first such match since an August 2023 win over the Iron Savages.

Here's the current Collision lineup:

• AEW Unified Trios Champions Bullet Club Gold (Jay White, Austin Gunn & Colten Gunn) defend against Top Flight (Darius & Dante Martin) and Action Andretti
• Toni Storm vs. Anna Jay
• The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster) vs. Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson)
• Swerve Strickland's first interview as AEW World Champion
