Kazuchika Okada has joined All Elite Wrestling as a full-time member of the roster and his first match for the company will air on AEW Collision, this weekend. Okada debuted on Dynamite and aligned himself with The Young Bucks as part of The Elite, and thereby turned heel. Now, their first match as a trio has been announced for the Saturday, March 9 episode of AEW TV taping.

AEW Collision will see Okada teaming with The Bucks with their opponents still unnamed. Over on Dynamite, The Bucks suspended and fired Adam Page and Kenny Omega for no reason. Their promo session was interrupted by Eddie Kingston to start a brawl.
It was then that Kazuchika Okada came out on AEW Dynamite and it seemed that he was trying to save Kingston. But The Rainmaker then started attacking Kingston to turn heel. The Bucks then officially announced Okada to be the new roster member of All Elite Wrestling as well as a member of The Elite. The trio was thereafter announced to be in action on AEW Collision, this week.
