AEW Collision Preview (9/6/25) – Mark Briscoe vs. Konosuke Takeshita 

Pinch, punch, first AEW Collision of the month! With a big return (rematch) from last week’s AEWDynamite, Saturday will be a good night for fighting.

Speaking of no returns, Kenny Omega joins the list of big names on the injury list. Rumors of Omega being in poor health sprang up after his last Dynamite appearance. Omega joins Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland on the shelf. Two men stepping up to fill the void collide one-on-one for the first time. Mark Briscoe and Konosuke Takeshita collide. Yet Briscoe cannot look too longingly at Kyle Fletcher’s TNT Championship when he faces the 2025 G1 Climax winner.

Elsewhere, FTR challenged ROH competitor Adam Priest to find a tag partner after Priest got physical with Dax Harwood after a chaotic pull-apart with Christian and Adam Copeland. Last week, Priest teamed with JD Drake. This week, could we see the return of the other Work Horseman? It’s been confirmed that Priest has chosen “Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington. Billington has history with Harwood, so it’s likely this match will be physical.

Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena will get a little bit of action in.

Jon Moxley vs. Daniel Garcia

The second-ever one-on-one contest between Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia has lit a fire that we haven’t seen in Daniel Garcia as a babyface for a while. Being truthful, Daniel Garcia has been holding a pattern of booking as a babyface since his return at All In London last year. Glimpses of excellence in the ring and on the microphone have been there.

What felt different last week on Dynamite and Collision was a rawness and drive that seemed dormant in Garcia’s character for a while. Given some fans’ speculation on where this angle is going, comparing this potential series to Moxley vs. Wheeler Yuta before the latter joined the Blackpool Combat Club, now Death Riders, feels appropriate.

This is the bigger story. Is Moxley going to recruit Garcia? If so, how will this impact the slow-burning arc of Wheeler Yuta, Garcia’s mirror rival?

How violent can Garcia get against the former four-time AEW World Champion?
