AEW Collision Tonight in Highland Heights
AEW Continental Title Eliminator Match: Jon Moxley (c) of the Death Riders vs. Jake Doyle of the Don Callis Family
After the Death Riders battled the Don Callis Family in a hard-fought Dynamite main event during our Tribute to PAC on Wednesday, AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley collides with Jake Doyle tonight!
Moxley got a first-hand look at Doyle while on commentary this past Wednesday, so he is well aware of the large task at hand. If Doyle can beat Moxley or wrestle to the 20-minute time limit, he’ll lock up a future AEW Continental Championship opportunity. These two have never met in singles competition and have only shared the ring once, as part of a trios match on Dynamite at the end of July. Does Doyle force his way into the title picture with his brand of brutality, or does Moxley prove that he knows exactly how to bounce back as he continues his longest championship reign in AEW with 280 days as Continental Champion?
Non-Title Match: AEW World Trios Champion Kofi of The New Level vs. ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty of Shane Taylor Promotions
This one should be a treat! Kofi makes his AEW singles debut tonight against ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty in a first-time matchup. With The New Level coming off a successful AEW World Trios Championship defense against “Hangman” Adam Page and Brodido at All Out, can Kofi carry that momentum into tonight? The dangerous and innovative Taiga Style of Moriarty has him closing in on 800 days as ROH Pure Champion and riding an unbeaten streak in singles matches that stretches back to September 2025, when he unsuccessfully challenged Page for the AEW World Championship. Kofi knows all about being a world champion, so how will he look to fend off Moriarty in this first-time matchup of clashing styles?
Artist of STARDOM Champion Julia Hart of Triangle of Madness vs. Queen Aminata
After Sisters of Sin beat Aminata and Mina Shirakawa at the Tailgate Brawl last week, Julia Hart and Aminata will try to settle things one-on-one tonight. Two weeks ago on Collision, Aminata beat Skye Blue to continue a hot streak that has been rolling since her last singles loss back in mid-July. As one-third of the Artist of STARDOM Champions, Hart has been busy in both AEW and Japan, and she knows plenty about Aminata. The two have been part of 14 matches in AEW, with Hart holding a 2-1 advantage in singles matches, all of which took place over a span of a month at the beginning of 2025. Hart won the last singles match between the two at last year’s Slam Dunk Saturday Collision, but who comes away with the victory when they meet again tonight?
