South Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena hosted the final night of AEW’s residency, and the show was loaded with high-stakes matches, wild stipulation announcements, and a shocking shift in alliances. From Kazuchika Okada’s title defense to Daniel Garcia’s full alignment with Jon Moxley, Collision delivered chaos and clarity heading into All Out.
Mark Briscoe Drops a Bombshell on MJF
MJF strutted into Philly with his trademark arrogance, running down Ian Riccaboni and the fans before mocking Mark Briscoe’s “blue-collar hero” reputation. Briscoe fired back with fire of his own, announcing that their All Out showdown in Toronto will now be a TNT Match — Tables & Thumbtacks, No DQ.
The crowd erupted as Briscoe revealed a bag of tacks and nearly spiked MJF with a Jay Driller before the former champ narrowly escaped.
AEW Unified Championship Tournament
- Konosuke Takeshita def. Anthony Bowens
Bowens fought valiantly, mixing technical precision with big offense like a draping neckbreaker and jumping Fame-Asser, but Takeshita’s resilience and devastating Raging Fire knee strike sealed the victory. Takeshita now advances to the 3-Way Finals at All Out. - Kazuchika Okada (c) def. Michael Oku
Oku started hot with dives and crisp counters, but Okada’s brutal offense zeroed in on his neck. A Tombstone followed by the Rainmaker lariat ensured the champion advanced to face Takeshita and a third opponent in Toronto. Post-match, Takeshita confronted Okada — tensions clearly brewing within Don Callis’ Family.

Death Riders Victorious in Main Event
Jon Moxley & Daniel Garcia (Death Riders) def. Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong (Paragon)
Garcia debuted new darker gear and a ruthless edge, dominating stretches of the match under Moxley’s approving eye.
