On the December 16 episode of AEW Collision, Claudio Castagnoli picked up a tainted win over Andrade El Idolo in a Continental Classic Blue League match, as he hit him below the belt. Castagnoli will look to keep rolling when he faces Bryan Danielson, one of his Blackpool Combat Club stablemates, on the December 23 episode.

Following the December 16 episode, AEW shared Castagnoli's post-match comments on Twitter/X.

"Just because I won today doesn’t mean I’m all happy and upbeat. Because I know what’s coming next week. If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same, that’s how you approach life. That’s how you approach love. That’s how you approach wrestling. Bryan Danielson, I could sit here and talk about that man for hours. But first, I wanna give kudos to Andrade. One hell of a competitor. Bryan, we’ve met for decades now. They need somebody to replace you, who do they call? They call me. If you need somebody to have your back, who do you call? You call me. I’m there. I’m always there. I will be there next week. I’ll see you in the ring, my friend," Castagnoli said.

Andrade El Idolo has said that he has unfinished business with Castagnoli. Check out his comments here.
