The tapings delivered a stacked card featuring Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, Athena, Kevin Knight, The Young Bucks, and several Forbidden Door storyline escalations. The episode leaned heavily into faction warfare, tournament advancement, and cross‑promotional tension with STARDOM.
Kenny Omega defeated Bad Dude Tito
Collision opened with Kenny Omega defeating Bad Dude Tito via the One-Winged Angel. After the match, Omega cut a promo addressing his upcoming AEW Forbidden Door match with Zack Sabre Jr. He called it his path back to the AEW World Title picture. This promo was consistent with AEW positioning Omega as a man fighting his way back to the top.
Don Callis Family Segment: Fletcher, Okada, Takeshita
Backstage, according to Fightful, Kyle Fletcher blamed Konosuke Takeshita for Mark Davis failing to reach the Owen Hart Tournament finals. Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada vowed to bring the AEW International Championship back to the Don Callis Family. This segment continues the internal tension and long‑term arc of Takeshita’s dominance.
Anthony Bowens and HOOK Tension
