Bandido (c) vs. Mascara Dorada – ROH World Championship

It’s a rematch that fans have been clamoring for since the two tore the house down in Arena México earlier this year.

Bandido, AEW’s double champion and human highlight reel, defends his ROH World Championship against Mascara Dorada, the CMLL aerial artist known for pushing him to his absolute limit in their last encounter.

Since unifying gold across AEW and ROH, Bandido’s momentum has been unmatched — but Dorada’s recent performances in AEW have proven he’s ready to claim his biggest victory yet.

Both men represent the best of their worlds, and tonight could determine which promotion — ROH or CMLL — leaves with bragging rights.

Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Olympia – CMLL World Women’s Championship

She’s got 12 titles, worldwide fame, and a growing list of enemies — but tonight, Mercedes Moné has a very different problem.

Her CMLL World Women’s Championship defense against Olympia is more than a cross-promotional clash — it’s a test of Moné’s ability to stay focused amidst chaos.

After attacking AEW Women’s Champion Kris Statlander alongside Athena on Dynamite, the CEO now has multiple targets on her back. With Statlander, Willow Nightingale, and Harley Cameron all lurking, Mercedes may be walking into a haunted house of her own making.

Olympia, a powerhouse from CMLL, has promised to “bring the storm to AEW,” and if she can capitalize on Moné’s distractions, fans might be witnessing a massive title change in Texas.

Kazuchika Okada & Konosuke Takeshita vs. Max Caster & Anthony Bowens

Can they coexist? Probably not — but that’s exactly what makes it must-watch.

The Don Callis Family’s Alpha and Rainmaker, Takeshita and Okada, are forced to team up just days after their explosive confrontation at the Callis Family Summit. Don Callis insists he can “make the family work,” but egos this large don’t share the spotlight easily.

Their opponents, The Acclaimed’s Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, are also at a crossroads, trying to rekindle their chemistry after weeks of tension and miscommunication.

It’s a tag team powder keg with four combustible personalities — and with Full Gear on the horizon, tonight’s outcome could reshape multiple storylines.

Megan Bayne & Marina Shafir – Tag Team Debut

With Penelope Ford sidelined by injury, Marina Shafir steps in to join Megan Bayne in the AEW Women’s Tag Team Title Tournament. The duo, now being dubbed “The Megasus and The Death Rider” by fans online, will make their debut tonight as an intimidating new force in the division.

Shafir brings raw submission power, while Bayne’s size and strength give them instant credibility — and perhaps the scariest tandem yet in AEW’s growing women’s tag scene.

Trios Showdown: The Conglomeration vs. La Facción Ingobernable

The road to Blood & Guts runs through Collision as Mark Briscoe, Roderick Strong, and Komander take on La Facción Ingobernable’s Beast Mortos, Sammy Guevara, and Dralístico.

Both teams have been circling each other for weeks as AEW builds toward a violent Men’s Blood & Guts encounter with the Death Riders. Expect this one to end in chaos — and likely more bodies flying than candy corn at a Halloween party.

MxM TV Casting Call Returns

Love them or hate them, MxM TV’s Mike Bennett and Matt Taven are back with another “Casting Call” segment, where egos, gimmicks, and absolute absurdity collide. What will the self-proclaimed “Hollywood of Honor” duo have planned for Fright Night? Expect mockery, arrogance, and maybe a surprise appearance or two.

💬 Wrestling.news | Backstage Take

AEW is keeping the Halloween energy alive with a night that perfectly mixes spectacle and substance. Bandido vs. Dorada could be a match-of-the-year candidate if they’re given time, while Mercedes Moné’s defense adds international flavor and high stakes.

The Don Callis Family tension continues to steal headlines, and it’s only a matter of time before Okada or Takeshita snaps. AEW’s strength right now isn’t just in dream matches — it’s in how they’re weaving long-term storytelling across promotions.

Collision’s “Fright Night” card is proof that even when the lights dim, AEW knows how to make the night shine.
