AEW Collision Preview – Claudio Castagnoli vs. Roderick Strong for CMLL World Heavyweight Title, Nightingale Defends TBS Title, More

AEW Collision is coming your way tonight at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on TNT and streaming on HBO Max, back in Orlando, Florida, on a night full of championship matches and title implications!

One-third of the AEW World Trios Champions, “Hangman” Adam Page, has another fight with The Opps and Katsuyori Shibata, who will be looking for retribution on behalf of the former trios champs. The TBS Title will be on the line when Willow Nightingale takes on the challenge of former TBS Champion Julia Hart of Triangle of Madness, in a rematch nearly two years in the making. And before AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander defends her title against Thekla on Dynamite, she’ll face Isla Dawn in an AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Match!

Plus, we’ll see Claudio Castagnoli defend the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship against the #1 contender for that title, Roderick Strong, as Strong continues his personal crusade against the Death Riders. And the Don Callis Family has plenty of business to handle in three matches. “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher and “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita, Protoshita, are in tag action against Billy and Austin Gunn. Andrade El Ídolo steps into the ring with Magnus. And four days before their shot at FTR and the AEW World Tag Team Championship on Dynamite, Mark Davis and Jake Doyle face the newest AEW tag team, Jordan Oliver and Alec Price, on Collision!

All that and more will go down tonight in Orlando! Here’s your complete AEW Collision preview for January 24, 2026.

AEW Collision Matches, Preview for Saturday, January 24

AEW World Trios Champion “Hangman” Adam Page vs. Katsuyori Shibata of The Opps

“Hangman” Adam Page walked into Collision last week promising to take everything from The Opps, and he, along with “The Jet” Kevin Knight and “Speedball” Mike Bailey of JetSpeed, delivered on that promise by winning the AEW World Trios Championship. Page also decided he wanted a fight tonight in Orlando, so he called out Shibata to throw down one-on-one. “The Wrestler” will be looking for retribution after Page and JetSpeed took the gold from The Opps last week!

AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Match: Kris Statlander (c) vs. Isla Dawn

On Wednesday night in Orlando, a fired-up Statlander accepted Thekla’s challenge to fight for the AEW Women’s World Championship when Dynamite comes to Austin, Texas, next week. However, Statlander wanted some action on Collision back in Orlando and threw out an open challenge for an AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator. Isla Dawn accepted the challenge and said she’d kick Statlander’s teeth down her throat! 

A win for Dawn would earn her an AEW Women’s World Championship match against the winner of Statlander vs. Thekla! Can Statlander keep her focus on a hungry Dawn with Thekla’s toxicity waiting for her in four days? 

TBS Championship Match: TBS Champion and AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champion Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Julia Hart of Triangle of Madness

Triangle of Madness believe they have room for more than one title, so while Thekla hunts AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander, Hart threw out the challenge to Nightingale for the TBS Title. Hart reminded everyone that when Nightingale took the TBS Championship from her almost two years ago at Dynasty 2024, beginning her first reign, Hart never got her rematch. Nightingale was more than happy to accept, so Hart gets her rematch tonight in Orlando in Nightingale’s first defense of her second reign! 

CMLL World Heavyweight Title Match: Claudio Castagnoli (c) of the Death Riders vs. Roderick Strong

For months, Roderick Strong has been focused on the Death Riders, and that rivalry has taken a recent turn into CMLL. Last Friday night in Arena México, Strong beat Hechicero to become the #1 contender for the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship, a title held by Claudio Castagnoli for the last 57 days. And it was only a month ago, at Christmas Collision, when Strong significantly damaged Castagnoli’s Continental Classic hopes with a victory in their final league match. (Castangoli won their only other recent singles match, back in October, although both men have seen plenty of each other lately in various tag matches.)

With so much animosity swirling around this one, who comes out on top in a title fight on Saturday night?

Tag Match: Don Callis Family’s Protoshita (“The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher and “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita) vs. Billy & Austin Gunn

There’s plenty of action for the Don Callis Family all over Collision, which includes the in-ring reunion of Protoshita as a tag team! We last saw Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita come together in July, as since then, both men have been far more focused on singles gold. Last week, Takeshita returned to the Don Callis Family, but he seemed only interested in reuniting with Fletcher. They return to action against Billy and Austin Gunn!

Don Callis Family’s Andrade El Ídolo vs. CMLL National Tag Team Champion Magnus

Last week, we saw Andrade El Ídolo brutalize Angelico en route to a quick and decisive victory in his long-awaited return to the ring. As part of a busy night for the Don Callis Family, Andrade looks to make another strong statement on Saturday night, this time against the co-holder of CMLL’s National Tag Team Titles, Magnus! 

Tag Match: Don Callis Family’s Mark Davis & Jake Doyle vs. Jordan Oliver & Alec Price

In four days on Dynamite in Austin, Texas, the Don Callis Family will send Davis and Doyle into battle for the AEW World Tag Team Championships against FTR. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, along with Big Stoke (be sure to visit helpbigstoke.com!), have shown plenty of respect for Davis and Doyle, though the tag champs sent a strong message with their win over Oliver and Price earlier this week in Orlando. 

While they weren’t victorious, Oliver and Price earned All Elite status and officially became the newest team in the tag division. Can Davis and Doyle thwart this upstart duo ahead of their championship showdown with FTR?
