Former Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide star Arez made an appearance on the latest episode of Collision. His ring name in the Jacksonville-based company is El Clon, and he is playing the character of AEW star Hologram's evil clone. He has reportedly signed with the Tony Khan-led company. Interestingly, El Clon and Hologram have a storied history. Furthermore, reports suggest that WWE tried to sign the former Arez, but Khan won this bidding war.
