AEW Collision Recap Tonight for Winter is Coming in Cardiff

Swerve Strickland def. Josh Alexander of the Don Callis Family

With the crowd chanting “Whose House?!” before either man even made their way to the ring, it was Swerve Strickland, accompanied as always by Prince Nana, out through the tunnel first, massive chain draped around his neck. Next out was The Walking Weapon, alongside Don Callis.


Both men took their time at the opening bell before tying up, with Alexander backing Swerve into the corner. As they jockeyed for position, they ended up back in the middle of the ring, exchanging some light slaps before Swerve showed off his agility then caught Alexander in a fireman’s carry, tossed him into the top turnbuckle, and followed that up with a pump kick that floored the Walking Weapon. 


With Alexander back to his feet, Swerve caught a kick, then lifted the Don Callis Family member up for a backbreaker. Swerve dropped a knee across Josh’s face as the crowd continued to serenade him, before picking Alexander up for a reverse neckbreaker, then another, then set Alexander up on the apron for a neckbreaker on the ropes, as Nana taunted Callis at the announce table.


When Swerve lined up to kick Alexander from the apron, The Walking Weapon was ready, catching Swerve and lifting him up into a vertical suplex position before dropping him abdomen-first onto the announce table! Alexander picked Swerve up and sat him on the apron, gave him a chop, got back in the ring, mocked the crowd, then laid out Strickland with a flying crossbody between the bottom and middle ropes as we went to break!


Back from commercial, Swerve struggled to recover, as he and Alexander battled for the advantage. Alexander slammed Swerve’s knee across his leg, then tossed him over for a suplex. But when Alexander went for a powerbomb, Swerve reversed into a big powerslam! Swerve continued to punish Alexander in the corner, lifting him to the top turnbuckle, only for The Walking Weapon to slip away. Alexander scooped Swerve up and dropped him across the apron!


Alexander went to the top rope, but Swerve met him, cutting him off at the pass, and throwing Alexander for a MASSIVE Avalanche overhead suplex! But only a two count! Alexander got back to his feet and swept Swerve’s leg out from under him, trying to lock in a submission, but Swerve escaped, only for Alexander to counter and lock in a single-leg Boston crab on the left leg that Alexander had been targeting all match. Swerve forced a break, but he was limited to sitting in the corner to try to recover.


Alexander lifted Swerve to his feet and slapped him around a bit, as Strickland tried to respond in kind, only for The Walking Weapon to take out Swerve’s knee once more! Alexander climbed to the top rope and tried to drop a double-knee on Swerve, but Strickland rolled out of the way and smashed Alexander into the mat, following up with a House Call – but only for a two count! Swerve wasted no time in picking Alexander up for Big Pressure and the win!


After the victory, Swerve and Nana climbed into the ring, with Strickland grabbing a microphone. Swerve said that the last time he was in this building, he was AEW World Champion. And he didn’t come back to AEW from his injury to face off against the Don Callis Family, or Hobbs and Shibata – he came back for one damn thing: the AEW World Championship. Samoa Joe’s days are numbered. The wolves are circling. Swerve isn’t just anybody coming for Joe. He is the Most Dangerous Man in AEW. And so Swerve is declaring himself the No. 1 contender for Joe’s AEW World Championship. WHOSE HOUSE?!


Following Swerve’s comments, we were treated to a package recapping how we got to the Don Callis Family vs. The Elite in a $1,000,000 Winner Takes All Trios Match at AEW Dynamite Holiday Bash this Wednesday in Manchester!

AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander & Jamie Hayter def. Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart and Skye Blue)

Back from the break, we briefly heard from “Timeless” Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa, who said that The Babes of Wrath couldn’t have a AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship celebration without the Timeless Love Bombs!


With that, it was time for this women’s tag team match! AEW Women’s World Champ Kris Statlander was out first, belt held high, followed by the UK’s own Jamie Hayter. Both women were clearly fired up and ready to take the fight to the Sisters of Sin, who were nowhere to be seen when their music hit, with Thekla instead at the top of the ramp. It was a distraction, as Julia Hart and Skye Blue sneaked in from behind Hayter and Statlander!


The current champ and the former champ fought off the Sisters of Sin, though, with Hayter leveling Blue to start, followed by Statlander slamming her tag partner onto Blue! And Hayter returned the favor, slamming the champ onto Blue next. Hayter and Statlander continued their double-team offense on Blue, but she kicked out at two when Stat attempted a pin.


Statlander slingshotted Blue into the corner, but that allowed the Sister of Sin to tag in Hart, who immediately ate a snap-mare from Stat. The world champ brought Hart into her corner, allowing Hart to take out Hayter and hit her top-rope walk for a hurricanrana on Statlander! Hayter tagged in and went to work on Hart, hitting her with clubbing forearms against the ropes until Hart ducked out of the way. As Hart distracted the referee, Blue ran over and kicked Hayter in the head, setting Hayter up for a standing moonsault from Hart and a two count, as we went to break!


Back from commercial, Blue and Statlander were in the ring, as Stat kicked Hart off of the apron to make sure he was one-on-one with the champ. Statlander kneed Blue in the corner and hefted her up for a Blue Thunder Bomb for a two count. Blue then countered an Irish whip from Statlander into a tilt-a-whirl DDT, giving the Sisters of Sin the temporary advantage. Hart tried for a hurricanrana on Stat, only for the world champ to catch her – but Blue had made the blind tag. When Stat went for a pin after a powerbomb, Blue made the save, hitting Stat with a Canadian destroyer! Hayter made the save on the pin, only for Hart to take her out, as all four women were down!


All four women got to their feet and exchanged huge headbutts and big forearms, until Blue and Hart kicked the opponent directly next to them! Blue went to lift Stat up for an assisted suplex, but Stat kicked Hart off then hit Blue with another Blue Thunder Bomb for a two count! Blue tried to prevent Stat from making the tag, but sent her flying into the corner, as the former champ tagged in! Blue kicked Stat to the outside, as the Sisters of Sin double-teamed Hayter. But when Hart tried to hold Hayter for Blue to hit her, Hayter ducked out of the way, deadlift Blue for a German Suplex. Hayter slammed Hart over her knee with a rib-shattering backbreaker, then hoisted her up for Hayterade and the three count! Statlander and Hayter get the win!


As the current champ and the former champ made their way up the ring, the Toxic Spider stared from the balcony, championship gold clearly on her mind and in her sights. After the commercial, Lexy Nair was with Hayter and Statlander. Nair started to reference Hayter’s comments that she wanted to have a little chat with Stat about the title, but the champ said why talk, when they can just do it? And with that, Hayter issued the challenge: Statlander vs. Hayter for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Worlds End!

Continental Classic Blue League Match: IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Konosuke Takeshita of the Don Callis Family (7 points) vs. Claudio Castagnoli of the Death Riders (7 points) Ends in Time-Limit Draw

Claudio Castagnoli made his entrance first, coming in from the cold outside and walking through fans and the back of the venue in another epic Death Riders entrance. Konosuke Takeshita was out next, as we heard from Renee Paquette about the weight of this matchup, including the fact that Takeshita still has the chance to be the only undefeated competitor in this year’s Continental Classic. And, of course, Don Callis was out with Takeshita, making his way to the announce desk once again.


Collar-and-elbow tie-up to start, then a break, with both men feeling the other out and trying to gain the early advantage. Claudio backed Takeshita into the ropes, and the two stared daggers at each other. Back in the middle of the ring, Takeshita kept trying to fight off repeated holds from Claudio, including a grinding headlock and a top wristlock. Takeshita ran Claudio off the ropes as the two exchanged shoulder blocks, with neither knocking the other down, before Takeshita stunned Castagnoli with a boot to the face, then a flying forearm off the ropes.


Takeshita took Claudio to the corner and mounted him for big punches to the crown, but Castagnoli slipped out and responded with a huge European uppercut – an uppercut that seemingly only awoke Takeshita’s fighting spirit! He pursued Claudio and challenged him to exchange massive forearms in the middle of the ring, until Castagnoli went for Takeshita’s eye then knocked him down with a shoulder tackle off the ropes. 


Claudio dead-lifted Takeshita off the mat and slammed him to the ground, then went for a Neutralizer, but Takeshita reversed, then ducked a clothesline to kick Castagnoli in the face and take him over the ropes with a clothesline of his own! Takeshita went to the apron to take out Claudio when the latter seemed distracted, but Castagnoli turned around and ROCKED Takeshita with a European uppercut! The Death Rider followed that up with a double stomp on Takeshita on the outside, then tried to suplex him on the ramp. But Takeshita reversed, planting Claudio with a DDT on the ramp! Takeshita went for a Power Drive Knee Strike, but Claudio caught him for a backbreaker, as went went to break picture-in-picture!


During the commercials, Castagnoli brought Takeshita back into the ring and maintained his advantage, locking The Alpha into a sleeper hold. Takeshita fought out of the hold and hit a hurricanrana from the top turnbuckle onto Castagnoli! That sent Claudio to the outside, and Takeshita responded with a dive over the top rope! Takeshita seemed to take some damage from the maneuver, but he rolled Claudio back into the ring and, after a bit of struggle, hit Castagnoli with the Blue Thunder Bomb for a two count after a somewhat lackadaisical pin.


Takeshita went for the Power Drive Knee Strike in the ring, but Claudio caught him and turned it into the Giant Swing, followed by a Sharpshooter! When Takeshita reached for the ropes, Claudio caught his wrist and transitioned into a crossface right in the middle of the ring, only for The Alpha to roll back into a pinning predicament that forced Castagnoli to break the hold. Claudio followed with another European uppercut, but once again it was only for a two count. With Takeshita barely moving, Castagnoli kicked at The Alpha’s head over and over, which only got Takeshita’s ire up. With both Takeshita and Castagnoli standing in the middle of the ring, they traded European uppercuts and stiff forearms, respectively. Takeshita gained the upper hand and slammed Castagnoli into the mat with some truly incredible strength, then lifted him up for a German suplex, followed by a Hidden Blade for a two count.


Takeshita stalked Castagnoli from the corner, but when he charged the downed Death Rider, Claudio hit another European uppercut! Castagnoli hefted Takeshita onto his shoulders, but Takeshita rolled through for a two count. Back to their feet, Castagnoli came flying off the ropes to take down Takeshita. Catagnoli went for the Neutralizer for a third time, but The Alpha countered with a back-body drop, only for Claudio to land on his feet, as both men leveled each other!


Takeshita and Castagnoli once again traded stiff shots in the middle of the ring as the crowd chanted, “FIGHT FOREVER!”, with The Alpha taking the advantage. Takeshita took Castagnoli out onto the apron, clubbing him across the face, but Castagnoli fired back. Takeshita crushed Castagnoli with a boot, Claudio responded in kind, and then they kicked each other straight to the floor, where they kept beating the hell out of each other! Takeshita threw Castagnoli into the safety rail but he managed to kick Takeshita right across the chin before both collapsed, as Arkady Aura informed us there was one minute remaining in this match!


Castagnoli barely made it into the ring to beat the 10 count, as Takeshita leveled him for a two count with a Power Drive Knee Strike. Takeshita then went for a Raging Fire, but Claudio countered, finally hitting the Neutralizer! Takeshita kicked out at two, and time ran out! This match ends in a draw! Both men remain atop the Blue League with seven points, each earning a point for the draw. But that wasn’t enough for either Castagnoli or Takeshita, as they continued to battle after the bell, despite there “not being any money in it,” as Callis said from the announce table.

Speedball Bailey and Kevin Knight Are Ready to Fight

Lexy Nair was backstage with JetSpeed, as Kevin Knight said that when the Continental Classic was announced, they both knew this was a possibility. They were looking forward to fighting one another, with each saying that they needed the three points tonight. Speedball told Knight not to pull any punches, and they both agreed. JetSpeed Up!

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Celebration for The Babes of Wrath!

Tony Schiavone was in the ring to introduce Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale, your inaugural AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions! As the crowd clapped along to the music, The Babes of Wrath danced their way into the ring. Harley took the microphone and hit their catch phrase: “Who are we?” “BABES!” “And what do we have?” “WRATH!” “BABES OF WRATH! BABES OF WRATH!”


Willow then pointed out that the last time they were in Cardiff, Nightingale and Cameron were actually opponents! And no matter how hard Willow hit Harley, she just kept getting back up – which has kinda been the story of their journey to this point so far. And yes, there are a lot of teams out there. There are a lot of women out there. And if you’re wondering who their first opponents will be, Cameron said, well, it could be anyone …


Hit the Timeless Love Bombs’ music – and the serenading of “Timeless” Toni Storm by the Cardiff crowd! Mina and Toni had asked The Babes of Wrath for the fight of a lifetime, and that’s exactly what they did, giving the people a fight to remember.


Before Storm or Shirakawa could say anything more, however, Mercedes Moné was on the scene! After all, she pointed out, you can’t have a championship celebration without the greatest champion on the planet, the CEO! Shirakawa told Mercedes to shut up, but Ultimo Moné said that all she saw was a bunch of losers in the ring, since the TBS Champion “led” a team at Blood & Guts that kicked all their asses! When the four women in the ring said that they’d be more than happy to fight again tonight in Cardiff, Moné demurred, saying that Wales isn’t even a country! But she was down for a fight in Manchester, UK, after Cameron, Nightingale, Shirakawa and Storm continued to run her down!

Ricochet (and More) Declare for the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal

Back from commercial, we heard from inaugural AEW National Champion Ricochet backstage. And while Ricochet is proud to be the champion of the greatest nation on Earth, he thinks 2026 is going to be even better, because he’s entering the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale, and he plans to win the battle royale, then win the one-on-one match for the ring and title shot, then claim the AEW World Championship for good measure, because two belts has a nice ring to it.


We were then treated to a Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale package where we heard from Anthony Bowens, Brody King, Max Caster, MVP (on behalf of Shelton Benjamin) and Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family, all talking about their intention to win the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale this Wednesday in Manchester!


Continental Classic Gold League Match: “Speedball” Mike Bailey (6 points) def. “The Jet” Kevin Knight (3 points)

It was time for teammates to collide, with Kevin Knight out first, followed right behind by Speedball Bailey. 


Before they touched, Speedball and Knight kept firing up the crowd, with cries of “LET’S GO JETSPEED!” echoing through Cardiff. A handshake of respect led to the first stunning display of speed, athleticism and technique, with both men countering the other and exchanging a knowing glance. Knight slammed Speedball back-first into the turnbuckles, then took him over with an arm drag and fought to maintain wrist control. Speedball escaped with a back-elbow to the jaw, which Knight seemed to take umbrage with, only for Bailey to follow up with a kick. Both men tried to dive onto the other on the outside, but both kept dodging, until Speedball hit a moonsault off the top rope to take out his JetSpeed teammate on the outside!


During the picture-in-picture break, both men continued to battle on the outside, with Speedball seeming to maintain a slight advantage as he dragged Knight back into the ring and hit him with several kicks from different angles, scoring a couple of one counts, before coming crashing down onto Knight’s sternum for a two count, as we went to break! Back from commercial, Knight sent Speedball hurtling over the top rope with a big clothesline, followed by a giant springboard forearm to the outside to rock Bailey!


Back in the ring, Speedball caught Knight and tossed him skyward, dropping him to the mat, before both men went to the top rope, where Bailey took Knight over with a hurricanrana, although The Jet managed to block enough of the momentum not to get the worst of it, before he was able to land a massive DDT on Speedball for a two count! Knight went to the top rope, perhaps looking for the UFO Splash, but Bailey got to his feet to kick Knight down, then swept the leg to put Knight prone on the apron, where Speedball hit the Ultima Weapon! Bailey climbed the top rope from the outside, and Knight met him, only for Speedball to knock him down with forearms. But Knight recovered, leaped to the top, and took Bailey over with a superplex for a two count! Speedball countered, locking up Knight’s legs, for a two count of his own! Both men struggled to their feet, only for Speedball to catch Knight off the ropes for a flying powerslam and a two count!


Knight rolled through for a pin attempt of his own, followed by Speedball laying in an elbow and running off the ropes, with The Jet countering with a huge dropkick! Knight went for a springboard forearm, but Speedball caught him with a heel kick. Both men went to opposite sides of the ring and came springboarding off the top ropes, crashing into each other and sending both men to the mat! 


Knight recovered first and went to the top for a coast-to-cast on Speedball in the other corner, followed by an attempt at UFO Splash, but Speedball got the knees up and leveled Knight with a spin kick and a two count! When Knight got back to his feet, Speedball hit him with two more huge kicks, including a spin kick in the corner – but Bailey missed on the Ultima Weapon! Both men went for cradled pins, exchanging several two counts! 


Finally, Speedball caught Knight with another heel kick, lifted him to the top turnbuckle, and crushed him with the Rubik’s Cube for the three count and the win! Both men exchanged handshakes and hugs after a hard-fought battle.

Kyle Fletcher and PAC Exchange Continental Classic Pleasantries 

After the match, we heard from Kyle Fletcher, who was now tied at the top of the Gold League at six points with Kazuchika Okada and Speedball Bailey. Fletcher said that he doesn’t really care what people are saying about his epic match with Speedball. He had the all the momentum in the world, alone at the top of the Gold League, but now that’s ruined. But there was no time to wallow, as Fletcher turned his attention to his Continental Classic opponent, PAC. The Death Riders and Don Callis Family have this unspoken agreement to stay out of each other’s way, but this is the Continental Classic. If Fletcher is going to bring it to his own Family members, he HAS to bring it to PAC. So he doesn’t care if PAC has an entire arena of people backing him; Fletcher is ready to get his momentum back.


We then heard from The Bastard, who said he knows Fletcher very well. Bearing witness to the ProtoStar’s meteoric rise has been nothing short of remarkable. PAC is in awe of everything Fletcher has achieved, but let him be very clear. He doesn’t care how brilliant Fletcher’s matches are. He is about to dip his toe in a very different pool. Nothing “brilliant” will be happening in Manchester. PAC is going to grind Fletcher down, because he is a very different breed, forged from decades of doing this at the highest level. Speedball knows. Okada knows. And very soon, Fletcher will know, too.

TNT Championship Match: Mark Briscoe (c) def. Daniel Garcia of the Death Riders

Garcia was out first, accompanied by Marina Shafir, with the champ out next. Both men went right at each other’s throats off the bell. Briscoe gained the initial edge, stomping Garcia down in the corner. The TNT Champion continued to take the fight to the Death Rider, leveling Garcia with a dropkick through the ropes, then asking the fans if they wanted him to “whoop his ass?” which they naturally did! But perhaps the taunting was a bit too much, as Garcia was able to reverse Briscoe’s momentum and send him crashing into the ring barricade. Garcia met Briscoe with a series of stomps on the apron as he rolled back in, then hit a huge chop in the corner. But when Garcia whipped Briscoe into the other corner, the champ went over the top rope and countered Garcia with a stiff punch and a cannonball dive to the outside!


Briscoe was clearly intent on hurting Garcia, as he dragged him into position on the outside and went to the apron to come crashing down on Garcia. But Shafir provided enough of a distraction for Briscoe to recover, allowing Garcia to send Briscoe toppling and trapping him in the ring apron, before driving him into the floor on the outside with a swinging neck-breaker, as we went to commercial picture-in-picture, where Garcia continued to punish Briscoe, much to Shafir’s approval. The challenger pulled the champ into the ring and sent him to the corner, where Garcia climbed the turnbuckle to mount Briscoe for a series of hard shots. Garcia then distracted the ref, allowing Shafir to rake at the eyes and face of the TNT Champion.


As we came back from the break, Briscoe looked to be on the verge of mounting a comeback, but Garcia leveled him once more with a huge back elbow. Briscoe kept trying to show off his no-quit spirit, but Garcia kept grinding him down. That was, until Briscoe was able to find just enough daylight to turn the tables, knocking Garcia to the mat with a twirling crossbody, followed by some redneck kung fu. Briscoe went for a Jay Driller, but Garcia blocked for a belly-to-back suplex. But that merely woke Briscoe up even more, as he dropped Garcia and hit a basement clothesline to rock the young Death Rider. Briscoe climbed the top rope potentially looking for a Froggy Bow, but Shafir racked Briscoe across the top turnbuckle when the ref wasn’t looking, as Garcia climbed to the top and raked at Briscoe’s back. 


The challenger superplexed the champ into the middle of the ring, kicking up for another suplex. But instead of just taking Briscoe over, he brought him back onto the top rope in a different corner, hitting another superplex! Garcia then hit Briscoe with yet another superplex, but Briscoe rolled through on the landing for a vertical suplex of his own, sending both men sprawling across the mat as Shafir yelled, “Get up, Daniel!”


Both men regained their footing, exchanging repeated blows before Briscoe rocked Garcia with two big chops, only for the challenger to respond with a boot to the face when the champ came charging off the ropes. Garcia laid in more punches and chops, but Briscoe fired up to level Garcia as he rebounded off the ropes! Briscoe went for a Jay Driller once again, but Garcia blocked, driving Briscoe toward the rope. Shafir grabbed Briscoe by the leg in plain sight of referee Bryce Remsburg, who tossed Shafir from the ringside area! But as that was happening, Wheeler Yuta sneaked in from behind to kick Briscoe below the belt, allowing Garcia to hit a Jay Driller … but only for a two count!


Garcia wasted no time following up, raining elbows down onto the head of Briscoe. When Garcia went for the Dragon Tamer, though, Briscoe rolled him up for a two count! Garcia went for a clothesline, but Briscoe ducked and kicked Garcia in the midsection, doubling him over and hooking both arms. Briscoe hit the Jay Driller for the three count and the victory! 


Mark Briscoe is still your TNT Champion! Orange Cassidy, Máscara Dorada, Willow Nightingale, Harley Cameron and Roderick Strong came out to the ring to celebrate as the show went off the air. We’ll see you in Manchester!
