Indie talent backstage at AEW tapings (Patreon)

An indie talent was backstage at tonight's AEW Collision tapings.

Fightful has confirmed that indie wrestler Vinny Pacifico was at tonight's show, though we haven't learned he will be used in any capacity. As of 10:30 ET, he hadn't appeared in any matches or anything of the sort.

Vinny made headlines recently via procuring sponsorships from Bang Energy, and then G Fuel. Pacifico recently wrestled at New Japan Pro Wrestling's Philadelphia show. He worked two sets of AEW shows earlier this year, in addition to one in 2020. He also wrestled an NXT taping in 2021, and five ROH tapings in 2019.
