AEW Collision opens with Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness welcoming the audience. The broadcast airs a video recapping the MJF-Kenny Omega AEW World Championship match from Dynamite: Beach Break.
Tony Schiavone then heads to the ring to introduce “Hangman” Adam Page. Back in AEW after four months away, Page is greeted with “Welcome back!” chants in his home state of Virginia. He shakes hands with Schiavone before grabbing the microphone.
Hangman starts off by talking about his life on an acre-and-a-half property in Greensboro. Page shares that he’s found gardening to be a therapeutic outlet, planting seeds and watching them grow. The cowboy jokes about the birds that show up around the property and reveals that he got a vasectomy during his time away.
The tone shifts as Page explains that he’s back to plant one more seed, even without knowing what it might grow into. Hangman looks back on his loss to MJF in March, when he agreed to the stipulation that keeps him from ever challenging for the AEW World Championship again.
The crowd breaks into a loud “No!” chant, but Page makes it clear he intends to keep his word. Hangman states that the stipulation doesn’t need to be written into a contract at the company’s offices. As a man of his word, he says he’ll never wrestle for the world title.
Page then addresses Kenny Omega’s win at Beach Break. From there, he brings up Kevin Knight and the TNT Championship. Page also mentions Mark Davis and the National Championship, Jon Moxley and the Continental Championship, along with new International Champion Kyle Fletcher.
Hangman wraps up by saying that everyone will now find out who he is without the AEW World Championship. The crowd rises to give him an ovation as Page shakes Schiavone’s hand once more. He leaves the ring, interacts with fans in the front row, and heads to the back.
Katsuyori Shibata makes his entrance for the night’s first match. ROH World Champion Bandido follows shortly after to kick off the title match.

Fletcher also responds to “Hangman” Adam Page, pointing out that some of the titles the cowboy brought up are already in the family’s hands. The group also sends a message to Darby Allin, claiming he’s afraid of Trent Beretta. Even without Don Callis around, Fletcher wraps things up by making it clear that everything they do is for him, and that the Don Callis Family runs AEW.
Back in the arena, The Conglomeration heads to the ring. Orange Cassidy points out that the group still holds onto its titles, but reveals that one of its members still has her sights set on a championship of her own.
Willow Nightingale’s music hits!
Willow heads to the ring and thanks the crowd for the love. She looks back on the shoulder injury that forced her to vacate the TBS Championship and pull out of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. Nightingale admits she was heartbroken about missing Double or Nothing, but assures everyone she never gave up on her dreams.
During her time away, Willow worked to come back stronger, more motivated, and more focused. All of that effort led her to risk everything in the Casino Gauntlet, where she earned another shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship.
Nightingale then sends a message to Thekla and Mercedes Moné, who attacked her at Beach Break. Willow says they both made a huge mistake, because the worst moment of her career doesn’t have to define her story.
Willow vows to win the AEW Women’s World Championship at Redemption. After that, she plans to arrive at All In as champion to face Mercedes Moné.
