A peculiar stop. As due to the conflict with the NFL, <em>Full Gear<\/em> is set to take place on Saturday. However, this year saw the introduction of <em><strong>AEW Collision<\/strong><\/em> every Saturday. Due to all this, <strong>AEW<\/strong> has opted to hold this week&#8217;s episode of Collision on Friday instead of Saturday. Leading to the show going head-to-head with <em><strong>SmackDown<\/strong><\/em>. And unlike the battle between <em><strong>AEW Dynamite<\/strong><\/em> vs. <em><strong>NXT<\/strong><\/em> a month ago, it&#8217;s just business as usual for both promotions.<\/p>\n<p>As such, we have a doubleheader tonight from the Kia Forum in Inglewood\/Los Angeles, California. A venue not really noted for wrestling. As besides AEW&#8217;s debut in the venue last year, the only documented wrestling event held here, back then known as the Great Western Forum, was a <strong>WCW<\/strong> house show on January 22, 1991.<\/p>\n<p>This show had a hell of a line-up from the time period, including matches like<strong> The Steiner Brothers<\/strong> defeating <strong>The Fabulous Freebirds<\/strong> to retain the US Tag Team titles. <strong>Doom<\/strong> defeating<strong> Arn Anderson<\/strong> and <strong>Barry Windham<\/strong> in a Street Fight to retain the World Tag Team titles. <strong>Lex Luger<\/strong> battled <strong>Sid Vicious<\/strong> for the US title, and the headlining match is none other than <strong>Ric Flair<\/strong> retaining the WCW World Championship against<strong> Sting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Tomorrow is a special Episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWCollision?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AEWCollision<\/a>. It\u2019s on Friday. Our theme song is \u201cSaturday Night\u2019s Alright\u201d. What a dilemma!<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t matter what night it is, tomorrow, this will be a mf fight. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/W2qWcpfx3Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/W2qWcpfx3Y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Uncle Dax FTR (@DaxFTR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaxFTR\/status\/1725240478164013094?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 16, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong>With that in mind, let&#8217;s preview part one of AEW&#8217;s doubleheader for tonight. AEW Collision.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Miro&#8217;s Not Impressed By Garcia&#8217;s Dance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last week on <em>AEW Collision<\/em>, <strong>Andrade El Idolo<\/strong> came out with<strong> CJ Perry<\/strong>. Taking up her offer to be his manager. Their first match together saw Andrade facing off with <strong>Daniel Garcia<\/strong>. Fresh off challenging <strong>MJF<\/strong> for the AEW World Championship days before on <em>Dynamite<\/em>. Despite the former <strong>ROH<\/strong> Pure Champion&#8217;s best, Andrade was able to triumph.<\/p>\n<p>However, Daniel Garcia did something of note during the match: He danced in front of CJ Perry. And <strong>Miro<\/strong> was not impressed. Not exactly violating CJ&#8217;s one demand of not attacking her clients, Miro is still targeting people who do interact with her outside of being managed by her officially. Can Garcia groove his way to victory, or will Miro stomp him into a Game Over?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Champions Tune-Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We get a surprisingly rare instance of the AEW Women&#8217;s World Champion and the TBS Champion teaming up. As respective Champions, <strong>Hikaru Shida<\/strong> and <strong>Kris Statlander<\/strong> team up to take on <strong>The Outcasts<\/strong>, <strong>Saraya<\/strong> and <strong>Ruby Soho<\/strong>. This match comes just one day before both Champions defend their titles on <em>Full Gear<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Hikaru Shida has her third outing with Toni Storm for her title, while Kris Statlander defends against her two previous challengers at once, <strong>Skye Blue<\/strong> and <strong>Julia Hart<\/strong>. Can the Champions prevail, or will The Outcasts do what they do best and derail the babyfaces?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Your Friday Lucha Match, But On Another Show<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As stated many times in these previews, AEW always has one noted lucha libre-styled match every Friday. But this week, it&#8217;s still the same night. But on another show. One of the biggest stars of the 2010&#8217;s in Arena Mexico, <strong>Rush<\/strong>, takes on a man with a rather understated resume of great one-on-one matches in <strong>Dax Harwood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It will be a very interesting match, as while Dax is no stranger to wrestling luchadores and having fantastic matches, Rush is a totally different cat in the ring. Far more focused on his intense offense and showmanship than the kind of high-flying action you&#8217;d expect. Let us see how these two clash.<\/p>\n<p>All that and more as <em>Full Gear<\/em> looms tomorrow on tonight&#8217;s Friday edition of <em>AEW Collision<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-50\">\n<p><em>Header photo \u2013 AEW \u2013 Stay tun<\/em><em>ed to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
