We\u2019re going to be treated to AEW\u2019s range this weekend. Styles will clash across the card.<\/p>\n<p>With Lio Rush bringing his Blackheart persona to AEW, it feels like fittingly ironic booking to go against the former Blackheart. Many fans over the weekend discussed Rush\u2019s new profile picture on the AEW roster page. Wait until you see this persona in the ring. Taking on the now heel Tommaso Ciampa, am I the only one wondering if Mark Briscoe could get involved post-match?<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the new AEW Women\u2019s World Tag Team champions will make their TBA opponents bow down.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Slam Dunk Sunday <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWCollision?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AEWCollision<\/a><br \/>11\/10c or Immediately Following the NCAA Tournament on TNT + HBO Max<br \/>COAST-TO-COAST, This Sunday, 3\/22!<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/meganbayne?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@MeganBayne<\/a>\/<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lena_Kross?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Lena_Kross<\/a> in Action<\/p>\n<p>The NEW AEW Women&#39;s World Tag Team Champions, Divine Dominion, will be in action, THIS SUNDAY! <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dtR4VKJXZd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/dtR4VKJXZd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/2034498852284485677?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 19, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>The Start of a Beautiful Friendship?<\/h2>\n<p>We finally have an answer to the question that has long plagued many fans.

An interesting clash of histories and roles.<\/p>\n<p>Lethal and Strong have a long shared history, dating back to their time together in Ring of Honor. Big Shotty Johnson has, along with Christian Blake, been grinding away in ROH. Four individuals and four distinct styles will make this an engaging exhibition.

On their first time teaming with CMLL legend, Mistico, JetSpeed once again has the gold. Even more surprising, Mistico is the latest CMLL dual contract signee.<\/p>\n<p>Yet one week after winning the titles, could there be another upset? Well, given the combination that The Don Callis Family has put into this rematch, maybe. Josh Alexander has been breaking bones and beating up black shirts backstage. Although The Walking Weapon has had some big losses, and the headgear has gone flying, with backup, Alexander is a different animal.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the enigmatic El Clone, as well as one of the family\u2019s top Alphas, Konosuke Takeshita, it\u2019s a difficult test for the new champions. Yes, Bailey, Knight, and Mistico can fly and manoeuvre, but Takeshita can treat them like empty tracksuits.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the new champions are more than high-flyers. Knight is earmarked as a future main eventer, and Speedball Mike Bailey is focused on not being overlooked. Plus, with the veteran dark arts of Mistico, this could be a week-stealer of a match.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Slam Dunk Sunday <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWCollision?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AEWCollision<\/a><br \/>11\/10c \/ Immediately after NCAA Basketball on TNT + HBO Max<br \/>COAST-TO-COAST<br \/>This Sunday!<\/p>\n<p>AEW World Trios Title<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/caristicomx?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@CaristicoMX<\/a>\/<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jet2Flyy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Jet2Flyy<\/a>\/<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpeedballBailey?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@SpeedballBailey<\/a> vs Konosuke Takeshita\/El Clon\/<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Walking_Weapon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Walking_Weapon<\/a><a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDonCallis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@TheDonCallis<\/a> Family want the Trios Titles back! <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P3qDScAVhM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/P3qDScAVhM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/2034496335806972326?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 19, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>AEW Collision Slam Dunk Sunday (3\/22\/26) &#8211; Matches Announced<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Tommaso Ciampa vs. Lio Rush<\/li>\n<li>Divine Dominion in action<\/li>\n<li>Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong vs. Jay Lethal and Lee Johnson<\/li>\n<li>AEW World Trios Championship: Mistico and JetSpeed (c) vs. The Don Callis Family (Josh Alexander, El Clone, and Konosuke Takeshita)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an impactful first AEW Dynamite following AEW Revolution, we get not one but two bite-sized episodes.
