All Elite Wrestling is coming to Springfield, MA and the MassMutual Center for an all-new edition of COLLISION tonight on TNT!

All that and more is coming your way tonight when COLLISION drops beginning at 8pm ET/7pm CT on TNT!

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP BUNKHOUSE BRAWL..

“The Natural” Dustin Rhodes & “The Spanish God” Sammy Guevara(c) 

vs.

Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett)


It was just 35 days ago that Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara came into Arlington, TX as the unlikeliest of allies to face Matt Taven and Mike Bennett, but left as the 69th ROH World Tag Team Champions. Dustin and Sammy found a way to put their ugly past behind them and put their respective talents together for a collective good. That meant dethroning Undisputed Kingdom as ROH World Tag Champions, that has since meant uniting with Hologram for trios victories over Premier Athletes and Dark Order, not to forget the multi-man chaos during the ALL IN: LONDON 2024 ZERO HOUR that also included Katsuyori Shibata and Dustin's ROH World Six-Man Championship partners Ross and Marshall Von Erich. Despite their history, Rhodes and Guevara have meshed quite well as a team and when they bring others into the mix, but tonight it's just about their duo on this first defense of their championship run.


Together Matt Taven and Mike Bennett have carried the ROH World Tag Titles three times, ending the reigns of The Addiction, LFI, and (technically) MJF/Adam Cole to begin theirs, collectively spending 352 days as champions with a total of eight defenses. Should Undisputed Kingdom enter into Dustin's Bunkhouse world and walk out with the belts, they will be just the second team to hold them on four occasions, with only the 13-Time Briscoes ahead of their personal record. Jimmy Jacobs has held them more, but he's got three different partners to go along with his five reigns while Christopher Daniels has three partners for four reigns. Undisputed Kingdom will join rarefied air if they can defeat Sammy and Dustin, but as mentioned, they are entering Rhodes' world and match stipulation he's experienced more than a dozen times. It's been nearly four years since Dustin's last Bunkhouse bout, a tag team victory over The Butcher and The Blade with QT Marshall as his partner, but it's not something either UK member has ever experienced in their career. Neither has Sammy Guevara for that matter, but at least he has the experience and guidance of “The Natural” on his side, Undisputed Kingdom just has their willingness to do anything it takes to try and get those titles back around their waist.


Will tonight mark the dawn of another Undisputed reign over the tag division, or will the Texas duo assert their dominance over the division with a second victory over Taven and Bennett?


MULTI-MAN MADNESS...

FTW Champion HOOK, FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood), & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd)

vs.

Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson), Roderick Strong, RUSH, & The Beast Mortos



This is quite the intriguing, and utterly mad, 10-Man tag that All Elite Wrestling is becoming increasingly adept at presenting to the fans around the world! Take the cornucopia of talented in-ring athletes occupying the AEW locker room, smash them all together, and see what wild bouts come as a result of the multitude of issues between our fierce competitors.


In this contest tonight on COLLISION, we've got a preview of GRAND SLAM 2024's FTW Title match between champion HOOK and challenger Roderick Strong, and we've got another meeting between FTR and GYV after the 2-Time AEW World Tag Champions defeated Drake and Gibson last week on COLLISION, not to mention the inclusion of The Outrunners who helped run off GYV when they elected to assault FTR after the match. Then there is “El Toro Blanco” RUSH returning to AEW after a month away looking to fight anything that moves, and last, certainly not least, is The Beast Mortos, the man who pushed Ricochet to his limits in their DYNAMITE match, then just last night teamed up with Roderick Strong for an utterly dominant tag team victory. 


There is no question this bout will be chaotic, hard not to have that take place with so many individuals involved and so many issues building up between them, but there is also no doubt it will be an example of how All Elite Wrestling is stacked with the best professional wrestlers on the planet. Singles wrestlers, tag team wrestlers, multi-man bouts like this, AEW always gives fans the most exciting action, and this one is no doubt going to have an impact on the face of GRAND SLAM 2024 in just a few days time!


ONE-ON-ONE...

Dark Order's Evil Uno vs. Darby Allin


Five years, five months, and twenty-nine days; that's how long it has been since the last time Darby Allin and Evil Uno shared a ring. Months before AEW had its premiere event, nestled in a venue in Montreal, QC, Canada, Uno defeated Darby in that lone singles match, and they've never occupied the same ring since. Not as friends, foes, or even in a battle royale, but that changes tonight on COLLISION when they go one-on-one once again!


Darby is on a crash course with Jon Moxley this coming Wednesday at Arthur Ashe, a situation where Darby will put the title shot he earned via Royal Rampage on the line, and yet still wants a fight tonight to make sure he's ready for the violence that is sure to come. Singles competition in All Elite Wrestling is a rarity for Evil Uno, he's 1-1 in 2024, and it has been four months since his last singles matches where he lost to Brandon Cutler in a non-televised bout. Don't take that as an indicator of Uno's abilities though, or that he's more suited to multi-man competition with Dark Order, he's won five of his last six, he's gotten in there and mixed it up with Moxley, Bryan Danielson, as well as Adam Cole, just to name a few, and has a vicious streak that has really emerged in his Ring of Honor competition as of late.


Evil Uno could prove a disruptor to Darby's aims for GRAND SLAM 2024, putting him in a rough spot for that Arthur Ashe bout with the 3-Time AEW World Champion, but Darby clearly has no fear of that, nor of his opponent after what we witnessed on Wednesday night. Will Allin use Evil Uno to send a message for Jon Moxley, or will the Dark Order member shake up the situation?


SINGLES MATCH...

AEW Women's World Champion Mariah May vs. Lady Frost


Mariah May will defend her AEW Women's World Championship against Yuka Sakazaki at GRAND SLAM 2024 next week, but before we get there, the Women's Champion will step back into the ring with one of her first AEW opponents, the ever-dangerous Lady Frost! Frost comes into this after taking ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet to her limits in a Proving Ground match during HONOR CLUB 80 and is looking to even the score with Mariah for that defeat back in January! 


Lady Frost has all the talent in the world to take down the Women's World Champion, but “The Glamour” is on a roll like no other woman in All Elite Wrestling and Frost is going to have her work cut out for her trying to stop that momentum ahead of GRAND SLAM 2024!


Springfield, MA is going to be rocking tonight when COLLISION comes to town! Starting at 8pm ET/7pm CT on TNT, we've got a Bunkhouse Brawl for the ROH World Tag Titles on tap pitting Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara against Undisputed Kingdom of Matt Taven and Mike Bennett! Plus, there's a 10-Man All-Star tag set to pop off when FTW Champion HOOK unites with FTR and The Outrunners to face The Beast Mortos, Roderick Strong, RUSH, and Grizzled Young Veterans! And we've got Darby Allin versus Evil Uno, Lady Frost facing Mariah May, and much, much more! So before the night gets underway drop by the official AEW YouTube channel to catch-up on highlights from this week's DYNAMITE and RAMPAGE, as well as previous editions of COLLISION, HEY! (EW), the Nigel McGuinness & Athena Time Lines, Close Up with FTR, and more! 


Then journey with All Elite Wrestling to Arthur Ashe Stadium for the stacked GRAND SLAM 2024 event featuring Darby Allin putting his AEW World Title shot up against Jon Moxley, FTW Champion HOOK defending against Roderick Strong, AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks facing the challenge of Kyle Fletcher and AEW International Champion Will Ospreay, and pending doctor's clearance, AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson facing Nigel McGuinness for the first-time since September 25, 2009!
