AEW Collision Preview (9/27/25) – Eddie Kingston is Back!

This week’s AEW Collision is shaping up to feature throwbacks with matchups revisiting previous rivalries and opponents, while offering new developments. As much as some things remain the same, others have changed.

Case in point, Jamie Hatyer vs. Julia Hart 3. Mirroring their last two contests beyond their contrasting attire and gimmicks from earlier this year, Hatyer is once again rebounding from injury. This is Hayter’s first singles match since Double or Nothing. Their earlier series allowed Hayter to find form and confidence in the ring after a long hiatus.

What’s changed is that Julia Hart now has sisters. The Triangle of Madness could get involved. An eventual singles contest between Hayter and Thekla looms. Differently, compared to January, the AEW’s women’s division is a more intricate, chaotic web of conflict and issues.

Speaking of the division, Kris Statlander got her spotlight on Dynamite. Maybe we’ll hear from the former champion, “Timeless” Toni Storm. Perhaps further news on how the first AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions will be decided.

Speaking of words… Eddie Kingston might have a mouthful.

Well, they’re packed pretty tight in here tonight.

AEW Collision Matches Announced (9/27/25):

• Jamie Hayter vs. Julia Hart
• Hook and Eddie Kingston vs. Big Bill and Bryan Keith
• Max Caster and Anthony Bowens vs. Swirl
• TNT Championship Open Challenge: Kyle Fletcher vs. Komander

The Acclaimed Have Re-Arrived?

It’s interesting how the graphic reads Max Caster and Anthony Bowens rather than The Acclaimed. It reflects that this isn’t a full or happy reunion. The beef between the former AEW World Tag Team and Trios Champions is unresolved. AEW coach Jerry Lynn thinks it can be, and that while they are separate, they will remain incomplete.

Some fans are rushing to conclusions. Some expect a reunion. Others, a double turn where the Best Wrestler Alive and the Pride of Pro Wrestling switch alignments. Yet don’t skip or underestimate the journey. The potential chemistry between Bowen and Caster. Teases either way. Maybe even the classic rap intro returns for one more night.

Likewise, don’t overlook Swirl. Christian Blake and Lee Johnson have been flies in many wrestlers’ ointment for months. The Vanilla Baby and Johnson may be about to claim an upset win.
