AEW Collision delivered a stacked two-hour card Saturday night that mixed title defenses, chaotic post-match brawls, and several All Out teases. Andrade El Idolo held onto the National Championship, Darby Allin kept the TNT title, and Jon Moxley looked every bit the Continental Champion in an eliminator match. The Death Riders and Bang Bang Gang continued their collision course while several midcard programs picked up steam heading into All Out.
First Hour
Jon Moxley opened the show with a pointed promo aimed at Will Ospreay. Moxley said he had already given Ospreay everything he had and was certain he would take it all back at All Out. The intensity was vintage Moxley — short, personal, and delivered like a man who believes the match is already decided.
Darby Allin then defended the TNT Championship against Myron Reed with Steven Borden in his corner. Allin retained after a hard-hitting match that played to both men’s strengths: Reed’s explosiveness versus Allin’s reckless offense. After the bell, Allin and Borden grabbed a microphone and declared it was time for them to chase tag team gold. The statement felt like a natural next step after months of them working as a unit.
Backstage, the Don Callis Family cut a focused promo. Kazuchika Okada made it clear that Tommaso Ciampa would receive The Rainmaker at All Out. The segment was brief but effective — Callis’ group continues to position Okada as the closer for big matches.
The Bang Bang Gang then issued a challenge of their own, calling out The Dogs and The Death Riders for a 10-man tag at the All Out Tailgate Brawl. The numbers game has been a theme for weeks, and this felt like the logical blow-off.
THEKLA, accompanied by Julia Hart, defeated Zayda Steel in a solid midcard match. Willow Nightingale provided commentary and added some extra heat to the segment. THEKLA continues to look like a problem in the women’s division.
PAC closed the first hour by defeating Adam Priest. The match was crisp and gave PAC another win on free television while Priest continues to work his way up the card.
Second Hour
The main event of the night saw Andrade El Idolo defend the AEW National Championship against Daniel Garcia, who had Marina Shafir in his corner. Andrade retained in a strong, technical match that showcased both men’s strengths. The celebration was short-lived. The Death Riders hit the ring after the match and laid Andrade out. Francesco Akira tried to even the odds but was quickly taken down. Mike Bailey then ran in with a chair and made the save, setting up the next match.
Bailey immediately faced Wheeler Yuta and picked up the win. After the bell, The Dogs and Death Riders jumped Bailey, only for the Bang Bang Gang to make the save. The two groups are clearly on a collision course heading into All Out.
The Opps appeared next and called out Jack Perry. They made it clear Perry would have to go through Katsuyori Shibata first. The segment was short but effective — Shibata’s presence immediately raises the stakes.
In the women’s tag match, Queen Aminata and Mina Shirakawa defeated Emily Jaye and Georgia South. The winners continue to look like a cohesive unit while the losers remain in the mix for future opportunities.
Nick Wayne then cut a promo saying he did not need any lessons from Chris Jericho. Wayne’s confidence has been growing, and this felt like another step toward a bigger singles program.
The show closed with an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match. Jon Moxley defeated Zachary Wentz to retain his status as champion. Moxley looked sharp and in control, sending another message heading into his All Out match with Ospreay.
What’s Next
Collision did its job: it protected the champions, advanced multiple All Out programs, and kept the Death Riders vs. everyone else story alive. Andrade’s title reign continues, Allin and Borden are officially chasing tag gold, and Moxley remains the most dangerous man on the roster. All Out’s card is filling out quickly, and Saturday’s episode made several of those matches feel more personal.
