Pinch, punch, first AEW Collision of the month! With a big return (rematch) from last week’s AEWDynamite, Saturday will be a good night for fighting.
Speaking of no returns, Kenny Omega joins the list of big names on the injury list. Rumors of Omega being in poor health sprang up after his last Dynamite appearance. Omega joins Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland on the shelf. Two men stepping up to fill the void collide one-on-one for the first time. Mark Briscoe and Konosuke Takeshita collide. Yet Briscoe cannot look too longingly at Kyle Fletcher’s TNT Championship when he faces the 2025 G1 Climax winner.
Elsewhere, FTR challenged ROH competitor Adam Priest to find a tag partner after Priest got physical with Dax Harwood after a chaotic pull-apart with Christian and Adam Copeland. Last week, Priest teamed with JD Drake. This week, could we see the return of the other Work Horseman? It’s been confirmed that Priest has chosen “Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington. Billington has history with Harwood, so it’s likely this match will be physical.
Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena will get a little bit of action in.
AEW Collision Matches Announced
- FTR vs. Adam Priest and “Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington

Jon Moxley vs. Daniel Garcia
The second-ever one-on-one contest between Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia has lit a fire that we haven’t seen in Daniel Garcia as a babyface for a while. Being truthful, Daniel Garcia has been holding a pattern of booking as a babyface since his return at All In London last year. Glimpses of excellence in the ring and on the microphone have been there.
What felt different last week on Dynamite and Collision was a rawness and drive that seemed dormant in Garcia’s character for a while. Given some fans’ speculation on where this angle is going, comparing this potential series to Moxley vs. Wheeler Yuta before the latter joined the Blackpool Combat Club, now Death Riders, feels appropriate.
This is the bigger story. Is Moxley going to recruit Garcia? If so, how will this impact the slow-burning arc of Wheeler Yuta, Garcia’s mirror rival?
How violent can Garcia get against the former four-time AEW World Champion?
All-Star 8-Woman Tag
Historically, it wasn’t that long ago that women’s tag matches in AEW seemingly existed to put more women into their only match of the night. However, these multi-woman matches have been a weekly joy and highlight. They demonstrate the division’s health, fan investment in their interlaced feuds, and build, hopefully, to the inevitable…
Since Forbidden Door, adding AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa has only increased the possibilities. Storm’s challenge to any woman with a pulse to step up to take her title. Could this match, like the men’s All-Star 8-Man, be more than a party match? Could this match be a Trojan horse set up Storm vs. Thekla?
With everyone banned from ringside, the chaos will initially be restrained to the ringside area. Yet rules are there to be broken. We saw this when Jon Moxley failed to defeat Hangman Adam Page last month for the AEW World Championship. It feels like this is the potential catalyst to set up another outstanding women’s hardcore match… the first women’s Blood and Guts match.
That’s all for the AEW Collision preview for September 6, 2025.
