AEW Collision Preview (8/16/25) – Technical 4-Way; Winner Faces Zack Sabre Jr.

A third match, pitching JetSpeed partners Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight against Jon Moxley, will likely be a banger. Add apprentice Wheeler Yuta into the mix and the potential for another angle featuring Darby Allin and the returning Will Ospreay…

Let your imagination go wild. Both for what could happen between bells and in the subsequent fallout. The Lights Out Cage match in London is one more weekend away. What else could be added to strengthen this Molotov cocktail of a contest?

Plenty more matches will be announced last minute. Saturday nights are a good night for graps.

AEW Collision Matches Announced:

• $100K Four Way Fight: Julia Hart vs. Kris Statlander vs. Anna Jay vs. Penelope Ford
• JetSpeed (Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight) vs. The Deathriders (Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta)
• Winner faces Zack Sabre Jr at Forbidden Door: Daniel Garcia vs. Nigel McGuinness vs. Lee Moriarty vs. Hechicero

$100 Four Way Fight

While the women’s division on Dynamite is still crammed into one match on the card, the ladies are killing it week in and out. With several separate overlapping women’s feuds in this match, something is bubbling.

Previously, Julia Hart helped Thekla, her Triangle of Madness teammate, claim the big money prize. Will the favour be returned with help from The Toxic Spider or Skye Blue?

A mask possessed Harley Cameron could hinder or add further interference. The Aussie wears her desire for revenge on her face. Megan Bayne could return to support Penelope Ford and ensure that money becomes an offering for her.

That’s without even considering Kris Statlander!

Something is bubbling. The pieces are coming together. AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships? Eventually. Or, as Corey Michaels suggests, the first female Blood and Guts match.

A Technical Masterclass of a Four-way

An incredible graphic with three of the best technical wrestlers in the world today and one legend teases a masterclass. Expect a match featuring mini seminars on joint manipulation, chain, and submission wrestling.

Bodies might be bent into positions that seem unnatural, and bones might be to the point of breaking, as these four men battle for the chance to take on New Japan Pro Wrestling’s former world champion.

McGuinness has a history with two of his competitors. First, Lee Moriarty, who beat McGuinness and defended his ROH Pure Championship. Since then, in commentary, McGuinness has been unwavering in his support for the master of Taiga Style. In McGuinness’s last match, he teamed with Daniel Garcia. However, mutual respect will be shoved aside when the bell goes. Reputations and history mean nothing.

I’m not going to hide my biases as a Brit and someone who cried when Nigel McGuinness came out during last year’s Casino Gauntlet Match at All In London. I saw McGuinness, back when he had spiky blonde hair and an iron with a Union Jack on it, compete at the first indy wrestling event I saw as a child. If it’s not McGuinness vs. Sabre at Forbidden Door, despite how incredible all the other combinations would be, well…
