Death Riders Continue Their Warpath
Trios Match: Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Daniel Garcia vs. Jay Lethal, Adam Priest & Tommy Billington
The Death Riders are on a mission of destruction. After brutalizing Darby Allin on Dynamite, Jon Moxley, Claudio, and Garcia are back in trios action. Their opponents—ROH veteran Jay Lethal and the hungry tandem of Priest and Billington—are entering dangerous waters in their first outing together.
Moxley may have his eyes on Allin ahead of their “I Quit” showdown at WrestleDream, but tonight the Riders will look to stay unbeaten while sending another violent message.
Kris Statlander and Toni Storm Go Face-to-Face
AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander vs. “Timeless” Toni Storm (Confrontation)
Since returning to Dynamite, Toni Storm has shifted her sights directly on the AEW Women’s World Champion. After their brief but heated encounter on Wednesday, Storm and Kris Statlander will meet face-to-face tonight.
This is more than a war of words—these two have never faced each other one-on-one, and with the AEW Women’s World Championship on the line at WrestleDream, Collision is the stage for tensions to boil over.
Cassidy & Paragon vs. Don Callis Family
Trios Match: Orange Cassidy & Paragon (Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) vs. Hechicero, Rocky Romero & Lance Archer
The Don Callis Family keeps growing, adding El Clon and even Andrade El Idolo to its arsenal. Tonight, Hechicero, Romero, and Archer step into trios action against the oddball pairing of Orange Cassidy with Paragon’s Strong and O’Reilly.
Callis has made it clear his Family intends to dominate every division. Can Cassidy and Paragon push back, or will the Family once again prove their numbers game is too much?
Eddie Kingston vs. Dralístico
Eddie Kingston has been spoiling for a fight since his return, and tonight he gets it against Dralístico of LFI. With Sammy Guevara running his mouth earlier this week, Kingston warned Dralístico not to let his partner speak for him—because Kingston’s fists will do the talking. Expect a hard-hitting brawl that could reignite LFI’s momentum or continue Kingston’s wave of defiance.
Kevin Knight Challenges FTR
Kevin Knight vs. ? (Dax Harwood or Cash Wheeler)
“The Jet” Kevin Knight issued the challenge, but FTR aren’t saying which one of them will answer it. After JetSpeed’s battles with FTR this summer, Knight is eager to get one back for his team. Singles action against one-half of the former tag champions could prove Knight’s breakout moment.
Guevara & RUSH in Tag Action
The ROH World Tag Team Champions look to continue their momentum as Sammy Guevara and RUSH hit Collision. Since joining forces in LFI, they’ve brought renewed intensity—and tonight, they’ll aim to send another message to the tag division.
Anna Jay vs. Jamie Hayter
Four years since their last singles clash, Anna Jay and Jamie Hayter finally meet again. Both women are out to prove themselves as contenders in AEW’s women’s division, and this bout could be a sleeper hit of the night.
MxM TV’s Casting Call
For the first time, MxM TV takes over Collision with a “Casting Call” open challenge. Any three members of the AEW roster could answer, making this one of the most unpredictable segments of the evening.
🗣️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
This Collision feels like a table-setter and a powder keg at the same time. The Death Riders are showing no mercy on their road to WrestleDream, and Statlander vs. Storm has the potential to become AEW’s top women’s feud heading into October. Meanwhile, the Callis Family angle continues to sprawl into every corner of AEW, proving just how much influence Don Callis wields. Add in Kingston vs. Dralístico, Knight’s chance against FTR, and the wild-card chaos of MxM TV’s “Casting Call,” and Collision has that unpredictable vibe AEW thrives on. This is can’t-miss TV for fans who love both storytelling and violence in equal measure.
