Claudio Castagnoli has arrived in AEW.
The Swiss-Superman, as predicted, was Bryan Danielson’s handpicked replacement for tonight’s Forbidden Door matchup against NJPW superstar, Zack Sabre Jr. He will also be competing in this Wednesday’s Blood & Guts matchup against the Jericho Appreciation Society.
The man formerly known as Cesaro looked great, and was able to pick up the victory over ZSJ after hitting a powerbomb. This was his first matchup since February, when he quietly exited WWE after his contract expired. He had no non-compete clause during that time.
