AEW Collision comes to you live this Saturday, July 26, from the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL, at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on TNT and streaming on HBO Max.
This week’s edition features a must-see ROH Women’s World Title match between the “Forever Champ” Athena and international standout Alex Windsor, plus the first TNT Championship defense from “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes as he faces ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty.
Let’s take a look at everything announced for Saturday night’s Collision:
AEW Collision Tonight: Matches, Preview for Chicago
ROH Women’s World Championship Match: Athena vs. Alex Windsor
After making a statement in her AEW Collision debut last week with a victory over Taya Valkyrie, Alex Windsor found her celebration cut short when ROH Women’s World Champion Athena interrupted from the balcony, dismissing Windsor and mocking her, all while keeping her attention squarely on AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm.
On the following AEW Dynamite, Athena and Billie Starkz ambushed Storm after she had defeated Starkz in an AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator match. With Storm vulnerable, Athena appeared poised to execute her Casino Gauntlet contract for a shot at the title, until Windsor stormed the ring to stop the attack and prevent Athena from seizing a shortcut to gold.
Now, with tensions reaching a boiling point, Athena and Windsor will meet in a rematch of their critically acclaimed bout at Global Wars Australia with the ROH Women’s World Title on the line. Can Windsor dethrone the “Forever Champ” in just her second AEW Collision appearance? Or will Athena once again prove why no one escapes The Fallen Goddess?
TNT Championship Match: Dustin Rhodes vs. Lee Moriarty
In a moment of triumph at AEW All In: Texas, Dustin Rhodes captured the TNT Championship, the latest milestone in a career already packed with legacy. Just one night before, at ROH Supercard of Honor, Rhodes and his Sons of Texas tag team partner Sammy Guevara successfully defended the ROH World Tag Team Titles against Shane Taylor Promotions’ The Infantry.
That victory only fanned the flames of animosity between the two factions. STP didn’t take the loss lightly, and led by Shane Taylor, they launched a brutal post-match assault on Rhodes and Guevara. Now, Lee Moriarty, the ROH Pure Champion and technical mastermind of STP, has stepped forward to challenge Rhodes in his first TNT Title defense.
Will Rhodes overcome yet another challenge and prove he’s not just a sentimental champion, but a fighting one? Or will Moriarty bring more gold back to STP?
AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament Quarterfinal: Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn) vs. Big Bill & Bryan Keith
The second quarterfinal match of the tournament to determine which tag team will earn an opportunity at the AEW World Tag Team Title at Forbidden Door takes place tonight, as Juice Robinson steps in for the injured Colten Gunn to tag with Austin Gunn against Big Bill and Bryan Keith. Big Bill and Juice tangled backstage after last week’s $200,000 4-Way Tag Team Match, so the pump is primed for these two teams to duke it out on a Saturday night!
The Triangle of Madness Debuts
The new trio of Julia Hart, Skye Blue, and Thekla said that they’ve come together to infect AEW’s Women’s Division! The Triangle of Madness debuts in trios action tonight on Collision!
