AEW TNT Champion Daniel Garcia appeared on the In the Kliq podcast to discuss several topics, including facing Adam Cole on Collision.
Garcia said, “That match was a shock to me. I came to the back, and Tony was like, ‘Hey, you’re defending your title.’ Because obviously, like, they announced it on TV. I don’t see that. I’m in the ring. Get to the back, and Tony’s like, ‘Hey, you’re defending your title against Adam Cole this weekend.’ Like, I wasn’t ready for that. Come on. I was very surprised.”
On the company being on its best run ever of Collision:
“Adam Cole, me and him, have some built tension over the past couple weeks, I would say over the past four or five weeks. I think we’re on a great run of Collisions. Maybe our best run ever. I think a lot of that has to do with the tension that me and Adam Cole have built up. Whenever he’s in the ring with me, I see the way he looks at me, and those eyes can only mean one or two things. Either he’s got a crush on old DG, or he wants a shot at the TNT title. So, if he wants a shot at the TNT title, that’s what he’s going to get. We’re going to get it poppin’ this Saturday.”
