It was another jam-packed Saturday night in South
Philadelphia, as we were back in the 2300 Arena for AEW
Collision!
Jon Moxley fought off another strong effort from Daniel
Garcia in the opening contest and later addressed Darby
Allin with a challenge and a promise for AEW All Out. TNT
Champion “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher also had his eyes on
All Out with a challenge to AEW World Champion “Hangman”
Adam Page. The AEW Women’s World Champion, “Timeless” Toni
Storm, was on the losing end of an All Star 8-Woman Tag only
to be saved by Jamie Hayter, which set the table for a Storm
challenge at All Out.
In our main event, MJF cost Mark Briscoe his match against
Konosuke Takeshita and then laid out his own challenge to
Briscoe, which Briscoe accepted for All Out. FTR turned back
Adam Priest and Tommy Billington before Big Stoke sent a
message to Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. And Big Bill
called out … Eddie Kingston?!
Check out everything that happened on AEW Collision for
September 6, 2025, including your full results and match
recaps.
Jon Moxley def. Daniel Garcia
We got underway with what Nigel McGuinness accurately called
“the ominous chords of the Death Riders” as Jon Moxley made
his way through the 2300 Arena with Marina Shafir in tow for
our opening contest.
As Daddy Magic cheered for him from the commentary desk, a
determined Daniel Garcia made his way down the aisle to
rousing “DANNY! DANNY! DANNY!” chants from the Philadelphia
crowd.
Garcia outwrestled Moxley in the early going, including an
STF in the middle of the ring, although Moxley changed the
complexion of the match when he delivered a stiff kick to
Garcia, which set off the younger opponent, as he unloaded
on Moxley in the corner. However, that played perfectly into
Moxley’s hands, as he fired back on Garcia with plenty of
shots of his own, outpunching the smaller Garcia.
As the “DANNY!” chants continued to ring out, Garcia battled
through Moxley’s vicious offense to take back control by
targeting Moxley’s left leg both in the ring and with an
excellently executed figure four leglock on the ring post.
With Garcia forced to break the hold, he fell to the ground,
but Shafir walked over to offer a helping hand, which Garcia
rejected.
Referee Stephon Smith tried to get Shafir away from Garcia,
and that slight distraction gave Moxley the opening to blast
Garcia off the apron with a running dropkick. For the next
few minutes, Moxley grinded Garcia down, as it looked like
the former AEW World Champion had the former TNT Champion
right where he wanted him.
The two ended up jockeying back and forth on the apron, but
Garcia showed no hesitation when he put Moxley down with a
brutal piledriver. Somehow Moxley survived, although the
damage was significant and Garcia knew it. Garcia followed
up with a few facewash kicks in the corner, as momentum
continued to build. Did Moxley make a mistake pushing Garcia
into this level of aggression?
A nearfall on an inside cradle saw Moxley kick out at the
last possible moment, but Garcia didn’t wait to follow up
with a superplex from the top turnbuckle. Mox kicked out
again and Garcia immediately snatched him in Moxley’s own
Bulldog Choke. He didn’t stay in it for long and rolled
through to catch Garcia with a Paradigm Shift, but Garcia
kicked out at two!
Much like Garcia did seconds prior, Moxley sensed the
immediacy of the situation and crushed Garcia with a knee to
the face followed by a Bulldog Choke of his own. But Garcia
fought through the pain to break the hold and transition to
a Dragontamer before Moxley got out of it.
With both men covered in sweat and exhausted, they traded
words as they pulled themselves up by the ropes, but it was
Garcia who was the aggressor, as Moxley asked for more! And
the only thing that stopped Garcia was the referee, yet
Garcia pushed through him and got back to Mox. A suplex
attempt sent both men from the ring to the floor, as each
hit the apron on the way down!
As they fought their way back into the ring, Garcia rolled
up Moxley for a two count, only for Moxley to reverse the
momentum just long enough to hold Garcia down for the three!
Moxley didn’t stick around long to celebrate, but Shafir
lingered around Daddy Magic to rub the loss in for a little
longer while Garcia tried to figure out how he lost to
Moxley once again. When Daddy Magic tried to console him,
Garcia pushed his mentor and friend away.
Tony Schiavone tried to get a word with Garcia, but he
wasn’t able to say much before Garcia grabbed the mic and
reminded everyone how every time he was knocked down, he
always got back up. He knew all about the great performances
he’s had over the last five years, yet he dejectedly said
they weren’t enough. A frustrated Garcia left the ringside
area looking for answers.
Big Bill Calls Out Eddie Kingston!
Big Bill recounted the time that his life changed in this
building, and how the fans laughed and mocked him. After
running down the Philadelphia crowd, Bill reminded everyone
of all his accomplishments since that fateful night in the
2300 Arena. He said he was able to do that because he’s from
New York City. And speaking of New York, Bill said he was
calling out someone from New York who hasn’t been seen or
heard from in a very long time. In fact, Bill doesn’t even
know where he is. Big Bill called out … EDDIE KINGSTON!
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) def. “Dynamite Kid” Tommy
Billington & Adam Priest
For the second straight week, Adam Priest took on Dax
Harwood and Cash Wheeler in tag team action, but after
coming up just short with JD Drake, Priest tried again with
“Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington following the challenge from
FTR on AEW Dynamite.
Dax and Cash trash-talked Priest from the jump, questioning
if he knew whom he was in the ring against – the winningest
team in AEW history. Priest showed no quit, as he continued
to fight back, yet other than a brief appearance by
Billington, FTR completely isolated Priest for an extended
period.
But Priest wouldn’t back down! He traded punches with
Harwood and then sent Wheeler into one of the support beams.
That opened the door for Billington to sky from the top rope
with a huge crossbody to FTR on the floor, as Big Stoke
looked on.
Priest dove back outside to take out Wheeler while
Billington captured Harwood in a crossface in the ring.
Harwood managed to escape, so Billington immediately hoisted
him up for a big suplex from the turnbuckles. Dynamite Kid
tried the top rope again, but missed with a diving
headbutt.
Dax tried to set Billington up for Power and Glory, but
Priest knocked Wheeler off the opposite turnbuckle. Instead,
Billington and Priest hit double diving headbutts onto
Harwood! We nearly had a major upset, but Cash pushed
through Priest to break up the pin.
There was nothing pretty about Dax’s punches and short-range
clotheslines to put FTR back in control, as they hit stereo
German suplexes for nearfalls. Another attempt at Power and
Glory was successful, as Priest finally stayed down for the
three count.
FTR tried to continue the attack on Priest, but Billington
got back in to save his partner, as Stokely called off the
dogs.
Big Stoke then addressed Adam Copeland and Christian Cage,
making it clear that the frustration FTR had been feeling
was taken out on Priest and Billington. And in two weeks, at
AEW All Out in Toronto, FTR will end C & C. Top. Guys. Out.
The Outrunners Get Back to Basics…with Dalton Castle?!
Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum found themselves reconnecting
with Brother Nature until they realized they weren’t alone.
Suddenly, various boys appeared before we saw Dalton Castle!
Floyd, Magnum, and Castle forged a partnership, with Castle
suggesting they go break some hearts.
Jon Moxley Makes a Declaration to Darby Allin
Moxley said Daniel Garcia didn’t get what he wanted tonight,
which is everything Moxley has. That’s the same thing Moxley
has been hearing from Darby Allin.
“What do they think I have?” Moxley said it can’t be his
talent, size, daddy’s name, or social skills. What did
Moxley have to begin with?
“[Darby] cost us a couple championships. A couple of belts.
It’s all right, we’ll get ‘em back. We’ll win them back.
We’ll win more. Belts are the basic unit of measure for
small thinking.”
Moxley said the results will speak for themselves. It breaks
his heart that Allin keeps looking for a fight. He thought
climbing Mount Everest would clear his head. It breaks
Moxley’s heart that Allin isn’t standing right by his side.
“At All Out, I’m gonna put you in the ground.”
All Star 8-Woman Tag (Everyone Banned from Ringside): Megan
Bayne & Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Julia Hart and Skye
Blue) def. AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm,
Interim ROH World TV Champion Mina Shirakawa, Kris
Statlander & Harley Cameron
Just before the bell rang, Wheeler Yuta made yet another
appearance to give Kris Statlander some words of advice
before he left through the crowd.
With Toni Storm watching Yuta’s exit, Thekla attacked her to
begin the All Star 8-Woman Tag! Storm recovered enough to
find some offense and tag in Mina Shirakawa
Shirakawa and Thekla went at it until they traded signature
poses in an attempt to play mind games with one another.
Julia Hart tagged in and Shirakawa immediately went to work
on her, keeping the advantage for her team. Megan Bayne made
a blind tag to Hart, leaving Shirakawa wide open for a
second-rope diving clothesline from The Megasus!
Shirakawa remained in the wrong corner for several minutes,
suffering a lot of damage at the hands of Hart and Skye
Blue. Yet the Philadelphia crowd willed Shirakawa back into
the match with “MINA!” chants, as she hit a unique
DDT/Figure Four combo on Hart and Blue.
Storm tagged in and wanted to take on all of her opponents,
which she did with success until she was pulled from the
ring by Bayne. With Bayne and Storm fighting on the outside,
the recently-formed team of Statlander and Harley Cameron
showed off some tandem offense of their own at the expense
of Blue, but Hart made the save on the pin attempt.
Hart walked into a suplex from Storm, but Thekla immediately
took out Storm with a spear only to be wiped out herself by
a Shirakawa back-fist! Mina had no time to do anything else,
as Bayne got back in and scooped her up for a Crucifix Drop.
Statlander dropped Bayne with a clothesline, but Bayne shook
it off and clotheslined Statlander over the top rope,
leaving bodies all over the floor.
That left us with Cameron and Blue fighting it out until
both Statlander and Hart tagged back in with Hart quickly
trapping Statlander in an Octopus. Outside the ring, Bayne
and Cameron battled up the ramp while Statlander escaped the
submission before dropping Hart right on her face.
Statlander caught Hart in a seatbelt pin, much like we’ve
seen from Yuta, to get the win for her team.
Triangle of Madness immediately went on the attack after the
match until Shirakawa saved Statlander for a brief time
until she succumbed to a Thekla spear for the second
straight week. And much like last week, they turned their
attention to Storm, only for Jamie Hayter to make the save
and chase Triangle of Madness from the ring.
Hayter offered a hand of help to Storm despite all their
history surrounding the AEW Women’s World Championship,
although Storm didn’t seem interested. Statlander attempted
to play peacemaker before Storm grabbed a microphone.
“Do you wanna get nuts?!”
“Do you wanna get nuts?!”
“Do you wanna get nuts?!”
And with that Storm put out the challenge to Thekla,
Statlander, and Hayter for a 4-Way AEW Women’s World Title
Match at All Out Toronto on September 20th!
We see a brief package from Ace Austin, who says he has
everything to gain and everything to prove in AEW.
What’s Next for the Bang Bang Gang?
Lexy Nair was backstage with Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn.
Gunn made the tough admission that the Bang Bang Gang hasn’t
had a lot go in their favor after losing both his brother
Colten and Jay White to injury. Robinson looked at CardBlade
and Card Colten and said they had to go, which was a
diversion from the usual fun antics of the group. He said
they knew they were dealt a bad hand, but they have to play
it.
Mercedes Moné Has a Tag Team Challenge for Riho
After Riho returned on AEW Dynamite to save Alex Windsor
from further attack by the TBS Champion, Mercedes Moné, we
heard from Moné in her home gym. While Moné was clearly
unhappy about the disrespect, she reached out to Riho’s
mentor, Emi Sakura, and laid out the challenge for this
Wednesday’s Dynamite for Riho and Windsor to face Moné and
Sakura. So first, they’ll meet in tag action in a few days,
then Riho and Mone battle for the TBS Championship in two
weeks at AEW All Out!
Kyle Fletcher Challenges “Hangman” Adam Page for the AEW
Championship at All Out
Tony Schiavone was tasked with getting some words from the
Don Callis Family, but Callis himself quickly took charge of
the microphone. He praised the efforts of TNT Champion “The
Protostar” Kyle Fletcher and the “Walking Weapon” Josh
Alexander during and after their big All Star 8-Man tag
victory this past week on AEW Dynamite.
Alexander then directly addressed AEW World Champion
“Hangman” Adam Page ahead of their grudge match this
upcoming Wednesday on Dynamite. He brought up his AEW debut,
a loss to Page in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. As
Alexander’s words became angrier and angrier, he promised to
put Page’s “bitch ass” down in their rematch.
With so much seemingly on his plate, Fletcher surveyed the
landscape, including the potential challenge from Mark
Briscoe, if he could get by Konosuke Takeshita later on
Collision. But Fletcher reminded everyone of the Family’s
AEW World Title aspirations and said he could be both TNT
Champion and AEW World Champion.
And then the challenge was made. Fletcher told Page he wants
the AEW World Championship and he wants that shot at AEW All
Out. And Fletcher likes full circle moments, because he
remembers that Page got his first chance at the AEW World
Title at All Out back in 2019, but unlike Page, he won’t
fail in his first attempt.
Fletcher knows Page will accept his offer, although if he
doesn’t, Fletcher will have no problem putting Page on the
injured list, just like he did to Kenny Omega. So when the
championship is vacated, he’ll pry it from Page’s “cold,
dead hands.”
“You will eventually have no choice but to say my full
name!”
CLON?!
Similar to last week, we saw an ominous look at what appears
to be a clone of Hologram although with a more sinister, red
presence. What does it mean?
Kyle O’Reilly Tries to Calm Down Roderick Strong, Tomohiro
Ishii
Lexy Nair tried to get words from Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick
Strong, Hologram, and Tomohiro Ishii about what’s been going
on between the four of them as of late. O’Reilly wondered
aloud about cloning luchadors, but Strong cut in to express
his displeasure with Ishii, including a few choice insults
before storming off.
O’Reilly tried to calm everything down, showing concern for
Ishii’s mental well being, before closing with, “To answer
your question, Lexy, all is great in Conglomalamaland.”
Jerry Lynn Offers Advice to Anthony Bowens
Anthony Bowens spoke with Lexy Nair about all his
appearances that have kept him from in-ring action and said
he was so happy because neither Max Caster or Billy Gunn
were there. Before he could say anything more, AEW Coach and
2300 Arena legend, Jerry Lynn appeared.
Lynn ran down all of Bowens’ accolades but said he’s gone
from “the top of the top to the bottom of the top.” Lynn
told Bowens to take a long, hard look in the mirror to
figure out what’s missing.
Konosuke Takeshita def. Mark Briscoe, MJF Challenges Briscoe
With Don Callis on commentary, Konosuke Takeshita made his
way to the ring for the main event, although he made the
interesting decision to send Josh Alexander to the back.
Since the two were familiar with each other from previous
contests, it wasn’t a total surprise to see neither
Takeshita nor Mark Briscoe get an advantage in the early
going, although that changed when things got outside the
ropes. Briscoe went for the Bang Bang Elbow off the apron,
but Takeshita was ready for it and took Briscoe out at the
shin, sending Briscoe to the floor head first.
Takeshita slowed the pace with a chinlock, yet Philadelphia
rallied Briscoe back to his feet, as they had done
throughout the match. Briscoe muscled Takeshita into a
Fisherman’s Buster for a near fall. As Briscoe took a few
too many moments to gather himself, Takeshita turned a
clothesline attempt into a Blue Thunder Bomb.
With Briscoe on the outside, Takeshita hit a ground-shaking
tope con hilo right in front of the announce desk. After
throwing Briscoe back in the ring, Takeshita ran into a big
boot and was sent through the ropes. Briscoe ran down the
apron and flew off for a blockbuster on the floor before
celebrating with the fans, as he got a second wind.
Briscoe hit a basement lariat for a two count although
Takeshita was able to shake it off to get to his face only
for both men to take each other out with dueling
clotheslines. After finding their way back upright, both men
traded huge shots back and forth until Briscoe put Takeshita
down with a powerbomb. Sensing the end was near, Briscoe
scaled the top rope for a Froggy Bow, only to land on
Takeshita’s waiting knees.
Takeshita chased Briscoe into the corner with a flying
forearm, but Briscoe responded with a forearm of his own in
the opposite corner! Takeshita came right back with a big
boot, yet Briscoe found some fighting spirit to shake off
the pain to hit a head-rocking clothesline.
Briscoe went for the Jay Driller twice, but Takeshita was
ready for it by dropping Briscoe on his neck not once, but
twice with a high-angle, wheelbarrow German suplex, yet
Briscoe kicked out again!
“MAN UP!” “MAN UP!” “MAN UP!” The 2300 Arena was on fire for
Briscoe, and with the two men fighting for position on the
turnbuckles, Briscoe went for a bite, sending Takeshita to
the mat!
Callis came off commentary to distract the referee while
MJF, who got married one day ago, decided to forego his
honeymoon and show up to Philadelphia to shove Briscoe off
the top rope! Takeshita took advantage of MJF’s interference
with a big running knee and Raging Fire for the main event
win, as MJF hid on the ground outside the ring!
MJF then tried to pick the bones of Briscoe, but Takeshita
stopped the beat down, as he didn’t want any help to win the
match, hence why he sent Alexander to the back. Once
Takeshita and Callis left the ring, MJF tried to go back on
the attack, but Briscoe was ready and turned the tables.
After officials separated the two, MJF challenged Briscoe
for any time, any place, any match, any stipulation.
Briscoe agreed to the match at All Out in Toronto on
September 20th, but said MJF would have to wait for the
stipulation…
And that will do it from Philadelphia for AEW Collision!
