AEW Collision Preview: April 2, 2026 – 8-Man Tornado Tag Match, TBS Title Open Challenge, Moxley vs. Bowens, More

What’s better than a night of All Elite Wrestling? How about two nights in a row of where the best wrestle?! We’re back tonight with a special Thursday broadcast of AEW Collision, airing at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on TNT.

Thursday offers a veritable smorgasbord of champions in action. AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley will take on Anthony Bowens. TBS Champion Willow Nightingale will face off with an opponent still to be determined in an open challenge for her title. And both the AEW World Tag Team Champions, FTR, and the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions, Divine Dominion, will be in action. 

Plus, the Don Callis Family is out for revenge on The Rascalz for injuring Kyle Fletcher, Juice Robinson and Tommaso Ciampa will square off after a staredown on last week’s Collision, and we’ll have an 8-Man Tornado Tag Team Match that promises to be an absolute barnburner, featuring Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and two-thirds of the AEW World Trios Champions (Místico and “The Jet” Kevin Knight) taking on the Death Riders’ Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta along with The Dogs’ Clark Connors and David Finlay.

We’ll have all that and so much more coming your way from Winnipeg! Here’s your complete AEW Collision preview for April 2, 2026.

AEW Collision Matches, Preview for Winnipeg

8-Man Tornado Tag Team Match: Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong of The Conglomeration & AEW World Trios Champions Místico and “The Jet” Kevin Knight vs. Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta of The Death Riders & Clark Connors and David Finlay of The Dogs

OC and Strong have history with both the Death Riders and The Dogs, having faced the latter in a tag team match last week on Dynamite in which Connors and Finlay emerged victorious.

Multiple rivalries intertwine in this incredible 8-Man Tornado Tag Team Match that should be all gas and no brakes right from the very start.

AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Anthony Bowens

While at least some of Moxley’s attention is likely on his match against Will Ospreay coming up at AEW Dynasty on April 12, Bowens is looking to show his killer instinct against one of AEW’s toughest champions amid his efforts to join HOOK and Katsuyori Shibata in The Opps. This match will be contested under Continental rules, with a 20-minute time limit and no outside interference.

Will Bowens have what it takes against Mox? Can the Continental Champion keep his attention on the task at hand with Ospreay having shown he’ll attack Mox whenever he gets the chance? Mox and Bowens collide tonight.

TBS Champion Willow Nightingale’s Open Challenge

On Wednesday’s Dynamite, Willow Nightingale put out an open call to face the very best on a special Thursday Night Collision – with her title on the line. Who will step up to the challenge tonight?

AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR in Action

Less than two weeks ahead of their AEW World Tag Team Championship defense against Adam Copeland and Christian Cage at Dynasty, champions Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler will be in action tonight. But will they have to keep their heads on swivels after Cope and Cage were hunting for FTR with steel chairs in hand on last night’s Dynamite?

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Divine Dominion in Action

After retaining their titles on last week’s Collision, AEW Women's World Tag Team Champions “Megasus” Megan Bayne and “Colossal” Lena Kross will be in action tonight.

Don Callis Family’s Andrade El Ídolo and Mark Davis vs. The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier)

The Don Callis Family wants revenge on The Rascalz for injuring their fellow family member, TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher, so Andrade and Davis will take on Wentz and Xavier in what should be an epic tag team match tonight.

Juice Robinson vs. Tommaso Ciampa

After their tense stand-off last week following Ciampa’s victory over Ace Austin, "The Psycho Killer" will collide with the Bang Bang Gang's Robinson tonight.
