Outrunners and FTR Exchange Heated Words to Open AEW Collision
AEW Collision began with a tense confrontation between the Outrunners (Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum) and former allies FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), accompanied by their agent Big Stoke. Stoke addressed the friction directly, expressing shock at the Outrunners' recent behavior, saying he was "flabbergasted" at how quickly their camaraderie soured.
Cash Wheeler echoed Stoke's disbelief, emphasizing the mentorship FTR had provided, "mentoring you two, taking you to heights you never even came close to before FTR." With that, Wheeler tossed to a heartwarming video package recapping the two tag teams’ time together, mostly training and doing big, muscly handshakes.
Wheeler passionately defended their recent actions, asserting that their self-preservation seemed to trigger issues with their peers, notably pointing out grievances from Cope and Daniel Garcia as well.
Dax Harwood then took the mic, accusing the Outrunners of jealousy and failing to seize their opportunity. He sharply criticized their previous title match failure: "Your one opportunity at immortality to become the AEW World Tag Team Champions, and you embarrassed yourself." Harwood bluntly declared that fans now view the Outrunners as "a joke" and "a meme," adding, "These people aren't laughing with you. They're laughing right in your face."
Truth Magnum acknowledged their setbacks. “Maybe we came up short against the Syndicate," he said, but he passionately defended the Outrunners' connection with the fans, asserting, "I'll be damned if these people ever stop believing in the Outrunners." Turbo Floyd turned the accusation of betrayal back onto FTR, stating, "The biggest mistake here was that we believed in you... that you would be our mentors."
The segment concluded with Floyd and Magnum challenging FTR to a fight, prompting Big Stoke to interject, noting FTR's policy: "They don't fight for free, especially not in Washington." However, Stoke accepted the challenge for next week, setting up a showdown in Ontario, California, firmly declaring, "See you there, boys. Top guys out."
Christian Cage & Nick Wayne vs. Big Bill & Bryan Keith
Christian Cage and Nick Wayne teamed up as a "father and son" duo for the first time, taking on the formidable pair of Big Bill and Bryan Keith, whom the Patriarchy had interrupted after the duo brawled with the Workhorsemen last week.
The match began with a technical exchange as Bryan Keith showcased his skill by reversing a maneuver into a hammerlock, with Nigel McGuinness praising Keith as "a great technician." Nick Wayne responded with agility, landing a precise kick to Keith's jaw.
Christian Cage entered the match with intensity, displaying his strategic, veteran control. McGuinness noted Cage's poise, stating, "What poise this man has," particularly after Cage landed a powerful drop on Keith for a near-fall.
The match intensified when Big Bill tagged in, utilizing his size and strength advantage to dominate briefly. A highlight moment saw Big Bill leap over a charging Christian to avoid a Spear, with Schiavone marveling, "What agility for a seven-footer. Incredible."
In the match's dramatic conclusion, Cage made a pivotal intervention, sacrificing himself and enabling Nick Wayne to capitalize. Wayne executed a swift, decisive kick to Keith's jaw, securing the pinfall victory. Tony Schiavone described the finish vividly: "Taking a bite out of the bad apple and scoring the first win for the father and son duo of the patriarchy."
Walking Weapon Warns Adam Cole
In a backstage segment on AEW Collision, Josh Alexander of the Don Callis Family delivered pointed comments ahead of his scheduled match against AEW TNT Champion Adam Cole. Responding directly to Cole’s open challenge issued on Wednesday's Dynamite, Alexander confidently stated, "Tonight's the night where I get to free you of the burden of being a fighting champion."
Highlighting their history, Alexander emphasized their familiarity, noting, "Paragon and Don Callis Family—we're no strangers to each other. Me and you, Adam, we're no strangers to each other." He targeted Cole’s vulnerability, explicitly mentioning Cole’s injury: "The only thing that is undisputed about this is that I know you have a bad ankle."
Alexander closed his intense message with a stark warning, boldly predicting a definitive outcome: "You're not walking out with that TNT championship, and hell, when I'm done, you're not walking out at all."
MVP Says Hello to The Patriarchy
A tense backstage exchange was next as MVP of the Hurt Syndicate confronted Christian Cage and Nick Wayne of the Patriarchy. MVP acknowledged Cage and Wayne's ambition to become the first father-son AEW Tag Team Champions. He praised Christian Cage’s legendary status as "one of the greatest tag team champions in history," but voiced skepticism about Nick Wayne's readiness: "As talented as you are... you're still just a kid."
Christian Cage swiftly rebuffed MVP’s remarks with cutting criticism, challenging MVP’s credibility: "I've always lived by the rule: Never trust a criminal. You weren't even a good criminal at that because you got caught." Cage intensified his rebuke by further diminishing MVP’s managerial skills: "You were actually a better criminal than you are a manager."
Cage ended the confrontation by asserting his dominance within AEW: "I am the patriarch. I run AEW, and if I want those AEW tag team championships, they're as good as ours." MVP responded cryptically yet confidently, offering Cage and Wayne a cautious farewell: "Good luck. Because you’re going to need it."
Brody King & Templario vs. Rocky Romero & Hechicero
AEW Collision featured an explosive tag team matchup as the imposing duo of Brody King and CMLL World Middleweight Champion Templario faced Rocky Romero and Hechicero.
Early in the contest, Templario showcased impressive strength and agility against Romero, utilizing his remarkable speed and power to quickly establish control. Brody King then asserted his dominance, leveraging his size to counter Romero's experienced offense. Announcer Tony Schiavone emphasized Romero's credentials, noting his extensive championship history: "Rocky has held his championships—World Historic Welterweight Champion, IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion."
The pace intensified with Rocky Romero and Hechicero executing tandem maneuvers, including Romero's sharp dropkick that staggered King, sending him momentarily reeling against the ropes. Nigel McGuinness praised Romero's timely offense, remarking, "Great move by Rocky Romero in that dropkick, it set it up perfectly."
However, King and Templario quickly regained the advantage with devastating strikes. Brody King delivered his signature cannonball senton into the corner on Hechicero, leading Schiavone to describe it vividly: "A locomotive coming in, cannonball pinned against the bottom!"
In the final moments of the matchup, the high-flying Templario stunned the crowd with a dynamic Springboard Shotgun Dropkick, followed immediately by a breathtaking Handspring Moonsault to the outside, wiping out his opponents at ringside.
Back in the ring, Brody King decisively sealed the victory by catching Rocky Romero off guard and planting him firmly with the Gonzo Bomb, securing a commanding pinfall win. Schiavone celebrated the decisive finish, enthusiastically stating, "Sensational win for the first-time-ever team of Brody King and Templario!"
Mercedes Moné and Toni Storm Exchange Words, Storm Makes a Promise
In a dramatic sequence on AEW Collision, Mercedes Moné first delivered a fiery rebuke to AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm, surrounded by symbolic imagery of roses, a movie projector, movie reels with labels referencing the champ, and Moné’s championship belts.
Moné confidently dismissed Storm, mocking her presentation: "Toni, you parade around AEW with your chest up, tits out, your cheap little slippers, and your stupid, silly little accent." She sharply emphasized her superiority, declaring, "I'm a true star, darling. I'm Six-Belts Moné—a global champion, soon to be Seven-Belts Moné."
Moné highlighted the stakes of their upcoming encounter at AEW All In, labeling Storm a mere supporting character in her own grand narrative: "If it's a death sentence you want, then this is gonna be a beautiful murder that you wrote." Adding insult to injury, Moné revealed a photo of Storm on the bottom of her boots, tauntingly promising, "Now I'm gonna be walking all over your face at All In."
Additionally addressing her upcoming opponent Mina, Moné offered a chilling preview for their TBS title match at Dynamite 300: "Next week for our TBS title match on Dynamite 300, it's gonna be match 1000 for me... I'll even buy you a nice steak dinner to see if you can even stomach the preview of the beating that I'm gonna give you at All In Texas."
Concluding her pointed remarks, Moné summed up her strategic dominance succinctly: "Because while the two of you are playing checkers, I am playing chess."
In a separate backstage segment on AEW Collision, Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa directly addressed Mercedes Moné, highlighting the tension leading up to their upcoming matches. Storm delivered an intense and colorful warning, stating, "Mercedes, these are the kinds of games that you want to play. I was born on a roulette table, baby. I'll play snooker with your snatch. I'll play tic tac toe with your tits."
Shirakawa intervened, acknowledging Storm’s anger but firmly requesting that she refrain from interference during Shirakawa's upcoming match against Moné for the TBS Title on Dynamite 300. Shirakawa made her request clear: "No matter what happens, do not get involved. Promise."
Storm, acknowledging Shirakawa’s concerns, agreed reluctantly, making a pointed request: "I promise. Just keep her alive, will you? Because I wanna finish the job."
Megan Bayne vs. VertVixen
Megan Bayne, accompanied by Penelope Ford, showcased her dominance in a one-sided singles match against VertVixen. Bayne entered the match with an impressive undefeated record on Collision, standing at 8-0.
Bayne wasted no time asserting her strength, executing a powerful Double Underhook Suplex early in the match. Nigel McGuinness underscored Bayne's dominance, remarking, "Bayne has just proved, time and time again, too powerful for anybody who stands across from her."
McGuinness observed that VertVixen was "no tomato can," highlighting her credibility as a competitor. Despite a spirited effort by VertVixen, who briefly stunned Bayne with a sharp kick that momentarily had Bayne taking a knee, the offense was short-lived.
Bayne quickly rebounded, delivering a devastating Running Lariat, described vividly by McGuinness as Vixen having been, "run right over and decapitated from Bayne." Bayne swiftly followed this brutal strike with the decisive move, the Fate’s Descent.
Anthony Bowens Calls His Shot
In a backstage segment on AEW Collision, Anthony Bowens confidently announced his intention to compete on Dynamite 300 in the upcoming Casino Gauntlet Qualifying Match for the No. 2 spot in the Gauntlet at All In. Emphasizing his determination to recover from recent setbacks, Bowens stated, "Two weeks ago, things didn't really go my way, and I told Billy that we need to get our stuff together quick."
Bowens explained his decision to reassess his strategy by having Billy stay home: "I told him to stay home to rethink that strategy, and next week you're gonna see that strategy come into play." Highlighting the importance of his potential qualification, he asserted, "When I win this match, I get to enter that gauntlet at number two."
Bowens concluded his declaration with a signature catchphrase, underscoring his resolve: "You cannot have the biggest pay-per-view, the biggest show of the year, All In, without your pride. Don't believe me? Well, I got five tools and one rule—that's prove them wrong."
AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Adam Cole vs. Josh Alexander
Josh Alexander answered AEW TNT Champion Adam Cole’s open challenge, resulting in a thrilling and closely contested championship match. Alexander quickly targeted Cole's known ankle injury, employing strategic groundwork and aggressive submission attempts early on. Nigel McGuinness noted Alexander's tactical approach, stating, "Certainly a good strategy for Alexander to focus on an injured body part."
Cole showcased resilience and technical skill, countering Alexander's attempts with impactful moves, including a sharp Cutter and a Backstabber. A pivotal moment occurred when Cole executed a Panama Sunrise, leading Tony Schiavone to exclaim, "He got him! Panama Sunrise!" Despite this high-impact maneuver, Alexander remarkably kicked out, prolonging the intense contest.
In the dramatic climax, Adam Cole finally secured victory with his signature finishing move, the Boom, delivering a decisive knee strike to the back of Alexander's neck for the win. Schiavone highlighted the hard-fought nature of Cole's victory: "He earned every bit of that."

UK women's wrestling standout Alex Windsor reintroduced herself emphatically to the AEW audience. Windsor boldly declared, "When you talk about the best women's wrestlers in the UK, the only name that should spring to mind is Alex Windsor."
She emphasized her determination and ambition, promising, "And when I said that I could hang with the best, and when I said I belong where the best wrestle, I didn't just come to talk about it. I am here to prove it. I am here to break backs, to win championship gold, and I'll stop at nothing until everyone knows the name, Alex Windsor." Windsor’s assertive message set clear expectations for her future in AEW.
Skye Blue vs. Queen Aminata
Skye Blue, accompanied by Julia Hart, faced off against Queen Aminata in a fierce singles match. Early distractions from Julia Hart set the stage, allowing Blue to land an impactful rising knee strike and a twisting suplex onto the ring apron.
The momentum shifted as Queen Aminata retaliated with her signature moves, including "Chocolate Kisses," powerful strikes that commentator Nigel McGuinness highlighted as "not as sweet as they look." The decisive moment arrived when Aminata executed her finisher, "Off With Her Head," a devastating kick which secured the pinfall victory.
However, the action didn’t end with the bell. Julia Hart distracted Aminata, setting the stage for Thekla's ominous appearance. Utilizing the distraction, Skye Blue ambushed Aminata from behind. Thekla then joined the assault, intensifying the attack until Tay Melo and Anna Jay (TayJay) rushed in to make the save, weapons in hand.
The chaotic scene underscored the growing tensions within the women's division, as all of these women could be in the Casino Gauntlet Match at All In, as noted by the announce team.
Rocky Romero Has a Message for Danny Garcia on Behalf of the Family
Lexy Nair began interviewing Danny Garcia about his recent alliance with Adam Cole due to mutual conflicts with the Don Callis Family. Rocky Romero swiftly interrupted, challenging the narrative set by Nair, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's a little harsh—problems?"
Romero addressed Garcia directly, reminding him of Don Callis’s prior invitation to join their group: "A couple weeks ago, my boss Don Callis gave you a golden opportunity to join the family." Romero questioned Garcia’s alliance with Adam Cole, suggesting ulterior motives: "Do you think that if the shoe was on the other foot and you were still the TNT champion, you think Adam Cole would be your friend?"
Daddy Magic reacted defensively to Romero's insinuations about friendship, angrily confronting him, "Hey, piece of garbage. What's that supposed to mean?"
Romero, unbothered by the outburst, concluded with a pointed invitation: "OK, OK, OK. Look, when you want some real friends, or, scratch that, a real family, you know where to find us."
Kyle Fletcher vs. Kyle O’Reilly: BATTLE OF THE KYLES
Kyle Fletcher of the Don Callis Family faced Paragon’s Kyle O'Reilly in a gripping singles match that had the crowd chanting various Kyle-themed chants such as "This is Kyle!" and "Kyle Forever!" from start to finish.
The match featured a world-class display of striking and grappling, with Fletcher utilizing his size and power effectively early on. Commentator Nigel McGuinness highlighted Fletcher's physical prowess, describing him as "prodigious, potent, and high caliber." O'Reilly countered effectively with his renowned kicking techniques and technical submissions, including a tight Triangle Choke and an Ankle Lock, demonstrating his grappling mastery.
A pivotal moment occurred when Fletcher landed a vicious running boot, but O'Reilly retaliated with a sequence of kicks culminating in a devastating Guillotine submission attempt.

Following the match, Archer and Fletcher continued their assault on O'Reilly, prompting Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, and Daniel Garcia to rush the ring, making the timely save, with Fletcher staring down Cole and mouthing that his TNT Championship belonged to Fletcher.
