AEW Collision Preview (7/5/25) – Collision 100

We got big singles, tag, and trios action. Story time (bay bay). Willow Nightingale. Mistico.

Plus, someone is going to try to survive the best wrestler alive. Can anyone beat Max Caster? I mean, can anyone? Surely, Caster, whose singles record is 0-12, must get a win back at some time?

There’s also the chance for some big appearances after Dynamite. Given what MJF did to Mistico at MLW’s Summer of Beasts, will The Hurt Syndicate or the Mexican legend strike? Potentially, with Dynamite concluding with the reunion of The Golden Lovers, Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi, could the pair kick off the show?

Roll on Collision. *Humming Elton John: Saturday, Saturday…Saturday.

FTR vs. The Outrunners

If you are going to celebrate 100 episodes of Collision, you can’t do so without the tag team who helped establish the show’s work-rate centric ethos. From day one, FTR has purposefully and continually made itself a reason to tune in. With classic tag team bouts, some kick-a-- singles contests, and their increasingly over-the-top heel classic antics, this match has been brewing for a while.

There was a time when many fans thought the eventual heel turn would come at the expense of The Youngest Men Alive. Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum, The Outrunners, might be similar in their ’80s aesthetic and appreciation of historic tag wrestling. However, they are opposite ends of the spectrum, despite being so similar.

The contrast between the classic southern style wrasslin’ style of FTR vs. the entertainment-centric, almost old-school WWE bombast of The Outrunners promises an exciting, throwback contest. For a while, both teams were close friends, but now tactics and disrespect stand between them. With so many fun possibilities, opportunities for individual and paired character development, this could be pure entertainment and a show-stealer.

Daniel Garcia vs. Kyle Fletcher

Almost acting as an unofficial number one contendership contest for the TNT Championship, two of AEW’s youngest and potential future headliners clash again. A victory for either might cement their opportunity for All In Texas. Revisiting a mini feud the pair began during last year’s Continental Classic, we’ll see if and how fortunes for each have changed.

Since Christmas, Garcia has lost his way. First, being humbled by Adam Cole and losing his TNT Championship. Subsequently, Garcia lost friends/mentors in FTR, before tasting defeat at Double or Nothing.

Fletcher has also had his fair share of losses. It seems like the Protostar was going to take the pinfall against Cole. That was until the Don Callis Family attacked.

Each young man has something to prove. Both want to finish 2025 with victory and gold. If this contest is anything like their Christmas Day match, it will be a gift for us as fans. The kind of match that makes you question where and what both men will be doing not just in six months, but six years.
