After <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/07\/16\/aew-dynamite-results-all-in-fallout\/\" target=\"_self\">AEW Dynamite<\/a>, we\u2019ve had a glimpse of new directions.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s card offers more of the AEW traditions and variety we love. From another aerial offensive between Ricochet and AR Fox, to eight-man party action featuring The Don Callis Family. In women\u2019s division action, Tay Melo finally gets her one-on-one match with Megan Bayne after weeks of sparring. Elsewhere, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2022\/06\/19\/alex-windsor-eve-she-1\/\" target=\"_self\">Alex Windsor<\/a> makes her AEW TV debut against Taya Valkyrie.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, in what could be an interesting, chop-heavy and brutal encounter between Rush and Katsuyori Shibata. Might be the sicko in me, but if Rush gets those cables\u2026 A couple of the sounds that I really like!

As a storytelling device, they have become Tony Khan\u2019s latest booking obsession. Plenty of us would gladly take these matches over <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2024\/06\/14\/aews-polarising-present-the-limitations-of-where-the-best-wrestle\/\" target=\"_self\">repetitive tropes that long-term emptied the well and impacted storyline consistency<\/a>. These matches don\u2019t always fade into the annals. Someone on commentary will bring up AR Fox\u2019s $300,000\u00a03-Kings Christmas Casino Trios win. Let\u2019s also ignore that it\u2019s another four-way.<\/p>\n<p>Part of which is to tell multiple stories at once, just as Wednesday night\u2019s women\u2019s $1,000 version did. Given Ricochet&#8217;s recent alliance with Gates of Agony, is this going to play into his obsession\/failure losing these big-money matches? Given the teased issues with the Bang Bang Gang, again, another direction! CRU also has issues with Ricochet. Then there\u2019s Big Bill and Bryan Keith in their quest to rack up wins and crush skulls.<\/p>\n<p>Four distinct styles and teams, this is the type of dynamic match the tag division needs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dustin Rhodes speaks <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s something inevitable about Dustin Rhodes\u2019 TNT Championship run. Already, it feels like this reign is on borrowed time, that the championship was Kyle Fletcher\u2019s to win last Saturday. However, with Adam Cole\u2019s uncertain future, only one man could replace that immense sadness with hometown joy.<\/p>\n<p>Dustin Rhodes in AEW has been iconic. Moment after moment. Pulling off surprise and stand-out performances with grace and style that refuses to age. \u00a0On the microphone, especially, the Rhodes legacy and cowboy spirit burn bright.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone can subvert expectations, make this title reign meaningful in a way we could imagine, it\u2019s Rhodes.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s this week&#8217;s AEW Collision preview all wrapped up.
