Split into two one-hour segments over the weekend, each episode will perhaps look to borrow from Rampage\u2019s mantra as the fastest hour in wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>Each show benefits, like Grand Slam Australia, from another big sports-related lead-in. Slam Dunk Sunday offers four interesting contests. Across both nights, we are getting range. Sunday features a follow-up from Dynamite with a title contest, a tag team grudge match, one of AEW\u2019s most over women\u2019s stars in action, and a spot-fest.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny TV vs. Bandido could be a surprise contest. With hints of lucha action, potential comedy from the contrasting personalities, and some follow-up to Chris Jericho\u2019s brutal beating of Bandido\u2019s brother, Gravity, this card could be all killer.<\/p>\n<p>Also, expect fans to be loud for Harley Cameron. Unconnected, the mysterious Harleygram might make her presence felt at ringside during the tag contest. Fans are already shipping and writing fanfiction for Harleygram and The Beast Mortos!<\/p>\n<p>Nope, it\u2019s not <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/03\/21\/preview-aew-collision-3-22-25\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Saturday<\/a>, but Sunday night is alright for fightin\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Matches Announced for AEW Collision: Slam Dunk Sunday:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Johnny TV vs. Bandido<\/li>\n<li>Harley Cameron in action<\/li>\n<li>Hologram and Kommander vs. The Beast Mortos and Dralistico<\/li>\n<li>AEW World Trios Championship: The Death Riders vs. Top Flight and AR Fox<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Lucha Tag Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Since his return, Hologram\u2019s feud with The Beast Mortos has enveloped Los Ingobernables. It\u2019s resulted in some fun singles and tags outings between Hologram, Mortos, and Dralistico.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of ROH TV Champion, Kommander, brings a more consistent Mexican flavor to this match. Previously, Hologram\u2019s tag partners and opponents have been more varied. In an entirely lucha-centric tag encounter, Hologram might be able to take things to another gear.<\/p>\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2024\/12\/28\/overlooked-wrestlers-2024\/\" target=\"_self\">Hologram deserved his flowers in 2024<\/a>, that doesn\u2019t diminish the gains made by his partner and opponents. You can\u2019t deny the increasing overness and uniqueness of The Beast Mortos. Each outing the man-beast thrives. Likewise, Kommander\u2019s ROH championship run and last-minute place in the Continental Classic have seen the 26-year-old evolve as a performer.<\/p>\n<p>Mix them, and we have the potential for what the kids these days call a banger. Can Hologram maintain his winning streak? If LFI loses, Rush will not be happy. Will Rush remain on suspension for much longer? It\u2019s only a matter of time before the bull returns.

Or could the challengers show a gradual weakening of the trios&#8217; champs?<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few weeks, Death Riders Collision defenses have restored some life in the division. This encounter, against a tag team that is currently in losing form and a partner who lost to Will Ospreay Wednesday, demonstrates Death Rider\u2019s original mission statement. To make those wrestlers who have grown stagnant make a change. Could this be a story beat perhaps?<\/p>\n<p>Or will this be a public execution? A message to the locker room following Cope\u2019s attempt to cave in the heads of The Death Riders. Or, potentially, will it offer a follow-up for Dynamite with Jon Moxley (hopefully patched up) setting the groundwork for his Dynasty match with Swerve Strickland?<\/p>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\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 AEW Dynamite and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
