Hazuki is officially headed to AEW television this weekend.
AEW announced that the Stardom standout will make her AEW debut during this Saturday’s episode of Collision when she takes on rising talent Maya World ahead of the 2026 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament quarterfinals.
Tony Khan confirmed the match on social media while also revealing that Persephone will be sitting in on commentary to scout Hazuki before their upcoming Owen Hart Cup showdown.
“With Persephone on commentary before their upcoming Owen Hart Tournament quarterfinal fight, Hazuki will make her AEW debut when she collides vs rising star Maya World THIS SATURDAY!”
The match adds another spotlight moment to the women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, which began at AEW Double or Nothing. Athena already advanced to the semifinals after defeating Mina Shirakawa during the opening round.
Other remaining first-round matches include Hazuki vs. Persephone, Skye Blue vs. Sareee, and Alex Windsor facing a mystery wildcard entrant. The Owen Hart Foundation Tournament finals are currently scheduled for next month’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view event.
Saturday’s Collision will also mark AEW’s return to its normal standalone format after this week’s special three-hour combined Dynamite and Collision broadcast from Philadelphia. The show takes place in Huntsville, Alabama, where AEW is also expected to honor late Midnight Express legend Dennis Condrey.
Do you think Hazuki could become a major player in AEW’s women’s division after this debut? Let us know in the comments.
