AEW Collision emanated from the Covelli Center in Youngstown, Ohio, featuring two championship matches, an Owen Hart Foundation Tournament quarterfinal bout, and several developments ahead of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster.
AEW Collision Results & Review (6/6/26)
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Match
Divine Dominion (c) Defeated TayJay
Collision opened with the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship on the line as Divine Dominion defended against TayJay.
The challengers pushed the champions throughout the contest, but Divine Dominion once again proved why they sit atop the women’s tag team division. With the victory, the champions improved their impressive record to 12-0-1 and continued one of the most dominant runs AEW has seen in recent years.
The dominance of Divine Dominion is beginning to resemble the type of sustained success Jade Cargill once enjoyed in AEW. The question now becomes who can step up and finally end their reign.
Following the match, a backstage segment featured the Don Callis Family confronting Konosuke Takeshita. The group mocked Takeshita for associating with The Conglomeration and also acknowledged the arrival of Kevin Knight into the Don Callis Family.
Shane Taylor Defeated Alan Angels
Before competing later in the evening in trios action, Shane Taylor took care of Alan Angels in a decisive fashion.
The match was largely a showcase for Taylor, who controlled the action from start to finish. Afterward, Taylor delivered a promo declaring Shane Taylor Promotions the most violent group in AEW and drew a line in the sand against The Death Riders.
Jon Moxley wasted little time responding as he and The Death Riders made their way to the ring, escalating tensions between the two factions.
The Death Riders Defeated Shane Taylor Promotions
Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and PAC Defeated Lee Moriarty and The Infantry
The rivalry between The Death Riders and Shane Taylor Promotions continued in trios competition.
For months, criticism has followed The Death Riders for remaining in lengthy feuds with the same opponents. This rivalry, however, feels fresh and immediately engaging. The action delivered throughout, and AEW wasted no time building toward the next chapter.
Following the match, it was announced that PAC will face Mark Briscoe on Wednesday’s Dynamite Summer Blockbuster. If this rivalry continues beyond tonight, there is plenty of reason for fans to remain invested.
Tommaso Ciampa Defeated Beef
Tommaso Ciampa continued his path of destruction with a dominant victory over Beef. The match served primarily as another statement performance for Ciampa, but the real story came afterward. Following the victory, Ciampa attacked Beef and demanded that Tony Schiavone inform the world that Ciampa is better than Chris Jericho. Ciampa then directly called out Jericho, stating that he can no longer run or hide from him.
Clark Connors Defeated Juice Robinson
Clark Connors scored a significant victory over Juice Robinson in one of the night’s more competitive contests.
The action started quickly as Connors immediately went on the attack. The match also highlighted the growing momentum behind the reunited Bang Bang Gang. With Ace Austin now aligned with the group and The Gunns back in action, the faction is nearly back at full strength, with Jay White remaining the lone notable absence.
The emerging rivalry between Connors and The Dogs against the Bang Bang Gang appears to be a natural fit and could become a featured storyline moving forward.
AEW World Trios Championship Match
The Conglomeration (c) Defeated LFI
The Conglomeration successfully retained the AEW World Trios Championship against LFI.
Orange Cassidy secured the deciding fall, allowing the champions to continue their reign. Following the match, focus immediately shifted toward Wednesday’s Dynamite Summer Blockbuster, where Cassidy will face Andrade El Idolo.
Several matches and storylines for Dynamite were advanced throughout the main event and its aftermath, helping establish a loaded card for Cincinnati.
Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Quarterfinal Match
Hazuki Defeated Persephone
The main event featured an international showcase as STARDOM’s Hazuki faced CMLL Women’s World Champion Persephone in an Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Quarterfinal Match.
The bout served as an early taste of Forbidden Door season, with both competitors delivering a strong back-and-forth contest. Hazuki ultimately emerged victorious, advancing to the semifinals of what has become one of AEW’s most anticipated annual tournaments.
After the match, both competitors showed mutual respect. That respect was short-lived, however, as Mercedes Moné interrupted the moment and attacked both women. Moné targeted Hazuki, her next tournament opponent, while also assaulting the woman who defeated her for the CMLL Women’s World Championship.
The attack provided a dramatic conclusion to Collision and further intensified the Owen Hart Tournament picture.
Final Thoughts
This week’s AEW Collision successfully balanced championship matches, storyline progression, and tournament action. Hazuki and Persephone delivered a strong main event, Divine Dominion continued their impressive title reign, and multiple feuds gained momentum heading into Dynamite Summer Blockbuster.
With Forbidden Door just weeks away, AEW continues building several compelling stories across the roster, making Wednesday’s Summer Blockbuster one of the most anticipated television events of the month.
