With the events of AEW WrestleDream and its fallout on AEW
Dynamite still being felt, we were in for another action-
packed night in San Antonio for AEW Collision on TNT and HBO
Max!
AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page began the night with
a strong message to Samoa Joe and The Opps. Meanwhile, we
learned that Joe, HOOK, Bobby Lashley, and Ricochet will
battle on Fright Night Dynamite to determine who faces Page
for the AEW World Title at AEW Full Gear on November 22!
PAC pinned Tomohiro Ishii for the second week in a row to
further the ongoing issues between the Death Riders and The
Conglomeration, JetSpeed and Jurassic Express took home
$400K when they defeated the cash-strapped Young Bucks and
FTR in an all-star 8-man tag, Ace Austin handled his first
business for the Bang Bang Gang with a win over “The Bounty
Hunter” Bryan Keith, Thekla kept her undefeated streak on
Collision alive while taking away Mina Shirakawa’s in an
impressive victory, and much more.
Here's everything that went down on AEW Collision for
October 25, 2025, including your full results and match
recaps.
Hangman Will Handle Samoa Joe on His Terms
We began Collision with the AEW World Champion, “Hangman”
Adam Page, who entered to a rousing ovation after
successfully defending the title last week at WrestleDream
against Samoa Joe. Still, it was the surprise attack by Joe
and The Opps that Page wanted to address in front of the San
Antonio crowd.
“You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see
yourself become the villain. Katsuyori Shibata. Will Hobbs.
Samoa Joe. You fought the Death Riders for nearly a year,
and they may have beaten you. They may have hurt you. But
they never killed you. And when you had the opportunity, you
cleared the way for someone, anyone, to finally take the
World Championship off of Jon Moxley. You did it, Samoa Joe,
and I owed you for that. So I gave you the only thing that I
could. I gave you the only thing that anyone here could ever
want. I gave you a shot at the All Elite Wrestling Men’s
World Championship!”
Page lowered his tone and continued, “And Joe, I looked you
in the eye, man-to-man, and I told you what was going to
happen, Joe. And at WrestleDream, it took everything that I
had, but I knocked you on your big, burly ass and I beat
you! And for the first time in a long time, I think you felt
something other than anger. I think you were embarrassed.
You were embarrassed that big, bad Samoa Joe couldn’t kill
the Hangman. And in your frustration, your anger, your
embarrassment, the three of you stabbed me in the back.”
The crowd booed that statement, but Page had more to say to
The Opps.
“Joe, Shibata, Hobbs, I want you to look deep inside, and I
want you to know you’ve become the very thing that you
fought against for so long. And the three of you, the three
of you should have known better. The three of you should
have known better. Joe, you should have known better than to
think you were going to beat me for this. All three of you!
All three of you should have known better than to jump me
after the match, and all three of you have been in this long
enough that you should have all known better than to make an
enemy out of me!
“Samoa Joe, you said you were hunting me, but let me correct
your dumbass. I am hunting you. Joe, I am the champion of
the entire world! And I am not going to find you when I’m
hurt. And I’m not going to find you when I’m pissed off and
off my game. I am going to find you in the exact moment I
decide to. And Samoa Joe, when I do find you, I want you to
know I’m going to do far worse than embarrass you. I’m gonna
do far worse than just beat you. Samoa Joe, when I find you,
I am going to ruin your entire life.”
PAC Has Words for Ishii
Earlier tonight, PAC stood outside the building alongside
the Death Riders with a message for tonight’s opponent,
Tomohiro Ishii of The Conglomeration. “Discipline maketh the
man, and trust me, we are not about to waver now. This is a
war, not a battle – a marathon, not a sprint. And tonight, I
get my opportunity to play my part once again.
“Tomohirio Ishii. The Stone Pitbull. Well, listen, you mutt.
I don’t care how much wacky-baccy you smoke, tonight I am
going to smoke you in the center of that ring and remind
everybody who dare forget; we are the Death Riders, and we
still dominate this place, whether you like it or not.”
PAC def. Tomohiro Ishii
Ishii entered without the rest of The Conglomeration, while
PAC was out with Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel
Garcia of the Death Riders. The opening minutes of the
contest were a series of reversals, as both men avoided any
damage. Ishii won a challenge of shoulder blocks and
followed with a vertical suplex. PAC bailed to the outside,
so Ishii chased after him, only to be confronted by Garcia.
That distraction allowed PAC to attack Ishii from behind
before returning to the ring, while Garcia went back to work
on Ishii with the referee’s back turned. PAC tried to grind
down Ishii with a cravat, but Ishii fought out of it. PAC
crushed Ishii in the corner and followed that with a
dropkick from the top. PAC controlled the pace with a
methodical plan to pick apart Ishii, including an extended
beating on the outside.
Finally, Ishii woke up with a couple of heavy chops out of
the corner, followed by a big shoulder block. Ishii was
clearly favoring his shoulder, but put PAC on the top
turnbuckle for a stalling superplex, which connected,
although Ishii’s injured arm kept him from an immediate pin
attempt. PAC kicked out at two, as Ishii stayed in control.
Despite the shoulder injury, Ishii was able to powerbomb PAC
and hit a rebound German suplex, only for PAC to come back
with one of his own! Ishii absorbed an enzuigiri to nail PAC
with a lariat before collapsing to the mat in exhaustion.
Ishii won a brief exchange of strikes, but had his leg
pulled by Shafir near the ropes. She spat in his face for
further distraction, and that allowed PAC to drop Ishii with
a tombstone piledriver! He deadlifted Ishii off the mat for
a bridging German suplex, but Ishii kicked out at two!
The crowd chanted “ISHII!” and he responded by dropping PAC
with a running clothesline. PAC got right back up to nail
Ishii with a brainbuster, but again, Ishii was able to kick
out in time. PAC sent Ishii to the outside so that Yuta
could hit a flying knee with the referee distracted. He
threw Ishii back in so PAC could put Ishii down with a full-
speed lariat to get the victory!
Thekla def. Mina Shirakawa
Shirakawa decided to mock Thekla with a toxic-esque dance as
the match got underway before she went right to work on
Thekla all over the ring, eventually putting The Toxic
Spider down with a dropkick. She wasted no motion to put
Thekla in a bow-and-arrow before stomping on her hands.
Thekla ducked a Shirakawa strike with a spider walk and
tripped her up for a pin, so Shirakawa shimmied out from
underneath and danced for the camera. Thekla rose behind
Shirakawa and grabbed her by the hair, tossing her across
the mat. Thekla hit a running boot to the side of the head
for a two-count.
Thekla tried to mock Shirakawa, but that mistake gave
Shirakawa the opening for a DDT. She continued to work on
Thekla’s right knee, as Skye Blue and Julia Hart, the other
two members of Triangle of Madness, made their way to the
ringside. That distraction allowed Thekla to strike
Shirakawa in the back of the head and send her to the
outside. The Toxic Spider remained in complete control for a
considerable amount of time, even getting some help from
Blue and Hart behind the referee’s back.
A slingblade and a running clothesline got Shirakawa back
into the mix, as the crowd cheered her on! With Thekla down,
Shirakawa hit a tornillo from the apron back into the ring.
She captured Thekla in a cloverleaf and dropped down to
wrench the knee. She quickly landed a sliding lariat and
mounted Thekla to rain down strikes, but Thekla turned it
right back around and did the same. Thekla picked up
Shirakawa, but Mina hit a spinning backfist for a two count!
Mina went to the top rope, but Thekla stopped her with a
right hand. The two traded huge shots on the turnbuckle
until Thekla rose back up to spider suplex Shirakawa! After
some theatrics, Thekla spider walked to go for a spear, but
Shirakawa was ready with a running knee! She hit Thekla with
two rolling elbows and a kick to the head before another
spinning backfist, but Thekla stayed alive with a kickout.
Mina nailed a slingblade from the top for a two count, so
she called for the Glamorous Driver! Blue got on the apron
for a distraction, so Shirakawa knocked her to the floor.
Hart did the same, and got the same treatment. By that
point, Thekla had recovered to nail a spear and locked
Shirakawa in the Death Trap for the tap-out victory. That
was Shirakawa’s first loss on Collision, while Thekla
remains undefeated.
TayJay Challenged By A New Duo
Lexy Nair was backstage with Anna Jay and Tay Melo to get
their thoughts on being part of the first AEW Women’s World
Tag Team Championship Tournament. Jay expressed her
excitement that the tournament was finally coming to
fruition after building the division over the last five
years, but before Melo could speak, a new team showed up to
interrupt. It was “The Girl with the Shiniest Wizard” Nixon
Newell and “The Lucha Baddie” Miranda Alize, who said they
are one of the best teams on the independents, so they had
to come to where the best wrestle! Melo said it was rude,
but they like a challenge, so if they want a fight, they got
one. Newell sarcastically said, “Perfect! I’m so scared,” as
she and Alize left the scene.
MxM TV Casting Call: Olympia def. Taya Valkyrie
Mansoor took some unnecessary jabs at the San Antonio crowd.
Then he turned his focus to ring announcer Arkady Aura to
insult her, as he’s been doing before every MxM TV Casting
Call. He finally let her announce who was answering the
call, as we found out it was a singles match with Olympia
from CMLL making her way down the ramp to face Valkyrie!
Valkyrie didn’t look thrilled, as she was well aware of who
Olympia was from her time in Mexico. Last week, Olympia
challenged Mercedes Moné for the CMLL World Women’s Title
after Moné successfully defended it against Persephone in
Arena Mexico. Moné said that the match would happen, but in
America, not Mexico.
With the Casting Call underway, Olympia quickly took down
Valkyrie and stomped her in the corner to set up a stalled
buster across Valkyrie’s chest. Valkyrie escaped to the
outside, so Olympia went to the top for a crossbody that
took out everyone in MxM TV except Valkyrie. Valkyrie
climbed back in the ring, so Olympia snatched her up and did
a few squats before swinging her face-first onto the mat for
the quick victory!
Dynamite Fright Night 4-Way Fight Announced With Huge Stakes
Four men will battle this Wednesday on AEW Dynamite Fright
Night to determine the No. 1 contender for the AEW World
Championship. We’ll see Bobby Lashley, Ricochet, HOOK and
Samoa Joe, the only former AEW World Champion in the group,
fight for the chance to face “Hangman” Adam Page for his AEW
World Championship at AEW Full Gear!
Ace Austin def. Bryan Keith
In his first singles action as a member of the Bang Bang
Gang, Ace Austin made his way to the ring accompanied by
Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn. Keith talked a lot of trash
after the bell rang, but Austin went right back at him and
outmuscled him to the corner. Keith tried to outwrestle
Austin, but Austin gained another quick advantage. Keith
complained he wasn’t ready, as it was clear how frustrated
he was with Austin.
Keith hit a back elbow out of a hammerlock to show his first
sign of offense, but Austin tripped Keith, kicked him in the
back of the head, and rolled him up for a two count. Austin
kept the pressure on with a dropkick and chop before
flattening Keith with a springboard crossbody. Austin got a
one count, so Keith bailed to the outside, but Austin
followed to hit some more chops and sent Keith back in the
ring. Keith went out the other side, so Austin tried to
attack with a springboard but stopped on the apron. Austin
avoided a trip with a handstand and escaped another trip to
crack Bryan across the face with a big kick in a ridiculous
display of athleticism and balance.
Austin hit a couple more big chops on the outside before
sending Keith back in, but when Austin tried to attack
again, Keith pulled the referee in the way. Austin charged
at Keith, who answered by throwing Austin over the top to
the floor! Keith measured Austin for a big boot to the face
and tore at his face, as he continued to deliver lots of
punishment with the guardrails.
The punishment slowed down Austin, but with lots of
encouragement from the crowd, he started to get back in it
by turning an exploder into a sunset flip for a two count.
Austin kicked Keith off him and hit a back elbow to stagger
his opponent. Austin yelled, “Hit me!” But it was Austin
doing all the hitting, including a beautiful
kick/knee/Russian leg sweep combo followed by a leg drop!
Austin showed more of his innovative offense by trapping
Keith between his ankles and slamming him face-first onto
the mat, but Keith escaped at two!
Keith hit a big headbutt on the jaw to cut off Austin and
followed with a high-angle backdrop for a two count. Austin
escaped a powerbomb and missed a kick, so Keith knocked him
into the corner with a forearm. When Keith charged, Austin
avoided, sending Keith into the top turnbuckle. With Keith
staggered, Austin hit a kick to the face. Austin followed
with The Fold to get the win!
The Don Callis Family Summit Happens This Wednesday
Lexy Nair was backstage with Don Callis to ask about the
“elephant in the room” after what happened between Kazuchika
Okada and Konosuke Takeshita at WrestleDream. Callis
dismissed the issues as “high school gossip.” He compared
the issues between Okada and Takeshita to family members
disagreeing, but still coming together as a family.
Callis said that when you have a family of genetically
superior athletes, they want to test each other from time to
time. Callis said Okada and Takeshita take their direction
from him, so they are just fine. And if you don’t believe
all that, he’s announced the Don Callis Family Summit to
take place this Wednesday.
The Outrunners and Dalton Castle Watch Anthony Bowens and
Max Caster Argue
Lexy Nair tried to get a word from The Outrunners and Dalton
Castle about the secret to their success. Turbo Floyd and
Truth Magnum deferred to Castle, but before he could speak,
we heard Max Caster and Anthony Bowens arguing nearby.
Castle and the Outrunners tried to talk to them, but they
just started arguing again until Bowens walked away.
Caster, Floyd and Magnum walked back over to Nair to restart
the interview, but she informed them they were live. The
Outrunners got fired up all over again with Castle telling
Nair, “And that is the secret to our success!”
HOOK def. Griff Garrison
Ahead of his chance to become the No. 1 contender to the AEW
World Championship this Wednesday on Dynamite, HOOK had to
deal with Garrison and the Frat House on Collision. HOOK
controlled Garrison early, but a distraction from the Frat
House gave Garrison the opening to drop HOOK with a big
boot. HOOK came back with a pair of clotheslines and a
double axehandle. He threw Garrison with an exploder suplex
and locked him in REDRUM for the quick submission win!
Olympia Wants Mercedes Moné and the CMLL World Women’s
Title!
After beating Taya Valkyrie earlier tonight, Olympia made
her intentions clear; she wants the CMLL World Women’s
Championship and came to AEW to find Mercedes Moné! She
promised to see Moné next week on Collision “to reclaim what
belongs to the Amazonians!” Those two will battle for the
CMLL World Women’s Championship next week on Collision!
The AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament
Starts Wednesday!
Jamie Hayter and Queen Aminata said they are cut from the
same cloth and have each other’s backs. They are in the AEW
Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament to win it,
and if that means taking someone’s head off, they’ll do it.
The Sisters of Sin, Julia Hart and Skye Blue, will represent
Triangle of Madness and were picked by Hayter and Aminata to
face them in the first round. They said they’ll win the
titles even if it takes laying out the entire women’s
division. Hayter and Aminata said Hart and Blue are stepping
into the ring with two of the hardest hitters, and they will
win the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Titles.
$400K All-Star 8-Man Tag: JetSpeed (“Speedball” Mike Bailey
and “The Jet” Kevin Knight) & Jurassic Express (“Jungle”
Jack Perry and Luchasaurus) def. FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash
Wheeler) & Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson)
Our main event had $400K on the line and plenty of
preexisting animosity between the eight men. FTR and Big
Stoke entered first, although the Young Bucks took the
opportunity to have a semblance of a real entrance when they
trailed behind FTR and took a second to pose on top of the
ramp.
In their first time as a team, JetSpeed and Jurassic Express
got along famously from the jump, with Luchasaurus even
bringing the bag of money he and Perry won from the Bucks at
WrestleDream to show off. Oddly enough, FTR and the Bucks
found some common ground when Matt snatched a beach ball out
of the crowd and Wheeler destroyed it with a chair.
Nick Jackson and Kevin Knight opened things up for their
respective teams, but it was a blind tag that brought Matt
in for an aided dropkick on Knight to gain an early
advantage. That was negated when Speedball made a blind tag,
as he and Knight put Matt down with a double hiptoss/big
boot combo. Jackson escaped long enough to tag Wheeler, but
Speedball lit him up with kicks before he tagged Perry. He
nearly beat Wheeler by rolling through a powerslam to get a
two count, which clearly angered Wheeler.
Cash got right back up and clobbered Perry with a
clothesline before making a tag to Dax. Perry escaped a
suplex and slapped Dax, so he stomped after Perry, who
retreated into a tag for Luchasaurus. Now it was Harwood
backing up to his corner, as the crowd chanted for the new
money dinosaur.
Harwood circled so he could cheap-shot Perry, which
distracted the referee long enough for the Bucks and Wheeler
to beat down Luchasaurus undetected. Harwood quickly
realized he couldn’t do much against Luchasaurus, so Wheeler
came in and tried for a double-team, but Luchasaurus ran
through FTR and then dropped each man with a bodyslam.
The Bucks came in to take Luchasaurus down with a double leg
trip, but they couldn’t do anything with Perry, as he fought
through both of them, taking out Nick. Matt clobbered Perry
from behind, but walked right into a missile dropkick from
Bailey. FTR tried to double suplex Bailey, but he escaped on
the way down, so Knight came off the top with a dropkick to
Wheeler and Harwood!
Speedball, Knight and Perry hit triple moonsaults from the
top rope and aprons onto the Bucks and Wheeler on the floor
in a tremendous display of teamwork. Meanwhile, back in the
ring, Luchasaurus almost won the match with a standing
moonsault on Harwood. Perry tagged back in and tried to keep
the punishment going on the outside, but Harwood reversed a
whip into the steel steps, which put Perry in a world of
hurt.
FTR smelled blood in the water and started to pick apart
Perry in the ring, isolating him from the rest of his team.
When Perry had a brief window, all his teammates were
attacked. Matt hit a kick through the ropes to the outside
and then held the top rope down for Nick, but Wheeler
stopped him and hit a somersault dive of his own onto
Luchasaurus and Knight on the outside!
Bailey tried to take on Matt and Dax, but was dropped by a
DDT. Matt then ran off Dax for a sliced bread on Perry,
which allowed Dax to lock on a sharpshooter. As Perry closed
in on the ropes, Nick hit a springboard facebuster so Dax
could pull Perry back to the middle while Nick hit a
moonsault from the apron to Speedball on the floor!
Luchasaurus ended the sharpshooter with a massive boot to
Dax.
Wheeler tagged in, but Perry escaped and tagged Knight! He
took on the Bucks by himself and brought the crowd alive! A
standing UFO splash on Matt nearly won it, but FTR came in
for the save. They tried to double-team Knight, but Bailey
came in, and they sent FTR to the outside with a pair of
dropkicks. JetSpeed hit stereo planchas onto the Bucks and
FTR, as FTR tried to help the Bucks. In the ring, Knight
launched Matt from the top with a hurricanrana right into a
sitout powerbomb by Speedball, but Matt kicked out!
Speedball ran to his corner, where Knight tagged him, and
then hit a springboard moonsault to FTR on the outside.
Knight went to the top, but with the referee distracted by
the Bucks, Stokely threw powder in Knight’s eyes! Matt hit
Knight with a superkick, but he kicked out at two!
Knight was dominated entirely for the next several minutes
until he avoided a Wheeler charge in the corner and thought
he had a chance to tag out, but Harwood cut him off and then
took a cheap shot at Luchasaurus. Knight came back with a
desperation dropkick and finally made the tag to
Luchasaurus! He punched his way through FTR and the Bucks
and put each team in a corner. Each side got a massive hip
attack and big clotheslines, as Luchasaurus took them all
down!
Perry took the Bucks down on the outside, but when FTR was
in trouble in the ring, Big Stoke faked an injury on the
apron. That gave FTR the chance to connect with Power and
Glory on Luchasaurus followed by an elbow from Matt and a
450 from Nick! Speedball and Perry made the save before the
count. In another wild display of teamwork, FTR and the
Bucks hit stereo Shatter Machines on Speedball and Perry!
They tried a 4-way BTE Trigger on Luchasaurus, but he ducked
and they all struck knees. Luchasaurus chokeslammed Matt
then double chokeslammed FTR and hit Nick with a flipping
chokeslam onto Dax! Luchasaurus lifted Dax for an aided
wheelbarrow cutter by Perry. Luchasaurus ran to his corner,
where Speedball made the tag, as Luchasaurus hit a moonsault
from the apron to the Bucks on the floor!
Speedball hit a hurricane kick on Dax, as Knight took down
Cash. Knight went to the top and hit the UFO Splash, as both
members of JetSpeed pinned both members of FTR for good
measure. JetSpeed and Jurassic Express are $400K richer!
The Bucks were despondent, so Perry gave them a single
hundred-dollar bill and then chased Big Stoke into the front
row!
As Collision came to a close, we found out those four teams
will battle it out on Fright Night Dynamite to determine the
next challengers for the AEW World Tag Team Champions,
Brodido, at AEW Full Gear next
month!
