Singles bout added to WrestleDream.
Headlining the most recent episode of AEW Collision was a Texas Death Match between Bryan Danielson and Ricky Starks. Danielson picked up the win and post-match, Big Bill and Wheeler Yuta entered the ring to stand beside their respective allies.
As Starks tried to walk over to Danielson to seemingly shake his hand, Yuta pushed Starks away. On the 9/27 AEW Dynamite, a post-Collision video aired featuring Yuta and Starks. The exchange got personal between the two and it led to Yuta challenging Starks to a match at WrestleDream.
