More mitosis than meiosis, as the quality of each hour remained high, we\u2019re treated to two hours of wrestling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>After another strong Dynamite, Saturday\u2019s going to provide more developments heading into Dynasty. Some contests may prove foundational in setting up the PPV card.<\/p>\n<p>For example, could Athena return to AEW after Mercedes Mone dispatched Minion 4,237 and 3\/4s last week? Might Top Flight upset the Learning Tree and, like The Outrunners before them, challenge The Hurt Syndicate at Dynasty?<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, that\u2019s without considering the chance of noise and fireworks (AKA bangers) in-ring as Jamie Hayter returns. Plus, Jay White takes on NJPW\u2019s Kevin Knight, who has stated his desire to breathe with the switchblade online.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s wrestling, and someone\u2019s about to get as oiled as a diesel train.<\/p>\n<h2>AEW Collision Matches Announced:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Top Flight vs. Bryan Keith and Big Bill<\/li>\n<li>Wheeler Yuta vs. Dax Harwood<\/li>\n<li>Mercedes Mone in action<\/li>\n<li>Jamie Hayter vs. Queen Aminata<\/li>\n<li>Jay White vs. Kevin Knight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Jamie Hayter Returns for Stiff Competition<\/h2>\n<p>After renewing her visa, Jamie Hayter returns to AEW to face Queen Aminata in a match where heads and necks will be left sore, and teeth may be loose on Sunday morning. Already this year, Queen Aminata\u2019s run of form suggests she\u2019ll soon <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/01\/06\/breakout-aew-2025\/\" target=\"_self\">break out of her rookie status<\/a> with a significant win.<\/p>\n<p>Her trilogy with Julia Hart reminded fans of Aminata\u2019s deadly capabilities. The execution of her strikes and lethal feet in Aminata\u2019s second match with Hart appeared to knock the former princess loopy.<\/p>\n<p>Could an upset happen? Considering Serena Deeb\u2019s attempts to aid the Guinean, it could impact the match if Aminata accepts the game plan.<\/p>\n<p>For Hayter, Saturday\u2019s a chance to get back in title contention after a brief absence. Since Hayter\u2019s return, her only loss was a tainted pinfall to Julia Hart, who came out victorious last week against Aminata.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, could that third match happen? Or, if Hayter picks up the win, will she perhaps step up to challenge Mercedes Mone?<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of possibilities. I\u2019ve suggested when looking at Toni Storm vs. Megan Bayne an interesting direction for Jamie Hayter that you can read about <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/03\/21\/megan-bayne-toni-storm-aew-womens-world-championship\/\" target=\"_self\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Wheeler Yuta vs. Dax Harwood<\/h2>\n<p>With the AEW World Trios Championship match set for Dynasty, this one-on-one taster match provides both men with a big opportunity. For Wheeler Yuta specifically, there is a chance to continue his own individual character progression.<\/p>\n<p>Facing Cope recently delivered a strong match. It also temporarily put a question mark over the Death Rider runt\u2019s loyalty.<\/p>\n<p>Harwood has a history in the gatekeeper role, where he\u2019s helped elevate younger wrestlers. Think January 2021 when Jungle Boy defeated Harwood. It was a physical encounter that helped put both tag team men on the radar as singles competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Not all Harwood singles matches are standouts (see January\u2019s match against Chris Jericho). However, with the added drama of a potential heel turn and Yuta\u2019s uncertain loyalties, there\u2019s potential for character development and emotional investment.<\/p>\n<p>If Harwood commits to a more vicious and heel-like style, giving Yuta more sympathy and a bigger uphill challenge, this match may build higher expectations for their Dynasty trios match and for Yuta.<\/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> for more on AEW Collision preview and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
