AEW Collision Preview (8/16/25): Start Time, Match Card, How To Watch & Live Stream

Hechicero and Zack Sabre Jr had three spectacular matches in 2024 in three countries (United States, Mexico, and England) and three separate promotions (NJPW, CMLL, and RevPro). Their record stands at 2-1, favoring Sabre.

Also scheduled for Collision's stop on the road to Forbidden Door are words from the AEW Women's World Champion "Timeless" Toni Storm. Storm's rivalry with Athena has reached a fever pitch as they head towards their clash in the O2 Arena.

Athena is set to team with a former foe of hers and Storm's, TBS Champion Mercedes Moné, on Wednesday's Dynamite in Scotland to face the Timeless one and her totally platonic friend, Alex Windsor, who also happens to be one of Moné's Forbidden Door opponents.

Anything is possible when Toni Storm has a mic in her hands. What will she have to say?

Tag Team Action

Jon Moxley has been at odds with JetSpeed in recent weeks, wrestling and defeating both "Speedball" Mike Bailey in singles action. Despite coming up short, JetSpeed has remained a thorn in Mox's side. He has hopes of putting them down for good by tagging with Wheeler Yuta to take them on in his own backyard of Cincinatti, OH.

Will JetSpeed finally be able to pull out a win over the former 4-time AEW World Champion and his Death Riders?

Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong have not always seen eye to eye recently as O'Reilly is hoping to rejoin The Conglomeration, ideally with Strong by his side. Roderick Strong would prefer to focus on their current dynamic as a tag team. Will they be able to stay on the same page while they take on Blake Christian and Lee Johnson?

Big Opportunities

Former TNA X-Division Champion Ace Austin will make his AEW debut on Collision tonight against Ricochet. Austin is from Ohio and has been a free agent since parting ways with TNA in May. In a exclusive video released on AEW's social media platforms, Ace Austin talked about visiting friends while AEW was in his own backyard and Ricochet, accompanied by Gates of Agony, laid down the gauntlet.

What should we expect from the "Inevitable" one in AEW?

Speaking of opportunities, Julia Hart, Kris Statlander, Penelope Ford, and Anna Jay will compete in a 4-way match for a chance to win $100,000. The women's division has splintered off into several alliances over the past few weeks. Will any of those alliances (or lack thereof) influence the outcome of the match?
