A number of former WWE Superstars have found success in AEW despite never making it big in their previous promotion. The trend continued on the first episode of Collision when Luchasaurus defeated Wardlaw to win the TNT Championship.
Luchasaurus was part of the NXT roster in 2012 and 2013. He initially signed a developmental contract with WWE and wrestled under the ring name Judas Devlin. He has wrestled against the likes of current AEW superstars PAC and Trent Barreta and current big names in WWE like Baron Corbin.
He was released from the Stamford-based company in 2014. He has been with AEW since 2019 and is a former Tag Team Champion along with Jungle Boy. He challenged Wardlaw for the TNT Championship on Saturday Night with Christian Cage at his side.
It was a tough match between the two powers as Wardlaw tried really hard to fight his annoying opponent and manager. He was knocked out by a slam dunk but fell prey to a massive clothesline from the former Jurassic Express member to lose his title.
The win was Luchasaurus’ first singles win in All Elite Wrestling and won his second title overall. The TNT Championship has changed a lot in recent months, so it remains to be seen how long Luchasaurus will be able to hold onto it.
