The world of professional wrestling is abuzz with excitement as All Elite Wrestling (AEW) prepares to welcome a new talent to its roster. Tommy Billington, the nephew of the late WWE legend Thomas Billington, aka the original Dynamite Kid, is all set to make his debut on AEW Collision this week.
The 24-year-old pro wrestling sensation has been making waves in the Canadian independent circuits since 2018 and has also gained experience under the MLW banner in 2022 and 2023 as part of the tag team Billington Bulldogs alongside his brother Mark.
AEW CEO and President Tony Khan took to social media to announce the exciting news, revealing that Billington will lock horns with Dax Harwood of the FTR on his debut outing.
This encounter is expected to be a thrilling one, especially given the current online feud between Harwood and WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff. The war of words between the two has been making headlines, with Bischoff consistently taking jibes at AEW and Tony Khan, prompting Harwood to fire back with some strong accusations.
The rivalry between Harwood and Bischoff began when the FTR member took umbrage with the WWE Hall of Famer’s negative comments about AEW. The situation escalated when Harwood accused Bischoff of being a “stalker” and taking money from WWE to defame AEW. Bischoff, not one to back down, has been responding in kind, leading to a heated exchange between the two. These developments have only added fuel to the fire, making this upcoming match between Billington and Harwood all the more intriguing.
As Billington prepares to take on Harwood, the stakes are high, especially given the high-profile feud that’s been unfolding on social media. Will Billington be able to capitalise on his debut outing, or will Harwood’s distraction prove too great to overcome? One thing is for certain – the world of professional wrestling will be watching with bated breath as these two talents clash in what promises to be an unforgettable encounter.
