Chris MuellerSep 27, 2025

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of AEW Collision on September 27.

It's only been a week since All Out took place, but AEW has already begun planning its WrestleDream PPV on October 18.

Here's a look at what AEW advertised for Saturday's show:

Big Bill and Bryan Keith vs. Hook and Eddie Kingston
Julia Hart vs. Jamie Hayter
Swirl vs. The Acclaimed
Death Riders vs. Daddy Magic and Paragon
Kyle Fletcher vs. Komander (TNT Championship)

Let's take a look at everything that happened on this week's show.

Death Riders vs. Paragon and Daddy Magic

1 of 8

Last time in action: Garcia defeated Katsuyori Shibata (All Out), Menard and Angelo Parker lost to FTR (Collision, April 12), Paragon defeated Frat House (Collision, Sept. 20), Death Riders defeated Paragon (Collision, Sept. 11)

The first match of the night was a six-man tag with Daniel Garcia, Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley taking on Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong and Daddy Magic. DG and KOR started for their teams with a nice exchange of basic holds and counters.

O'Reilly used his experience to outwrestle Garcia before tagging in the man everyone wanted to see fight Garcia, Daddy Magic. DG refused to even look at him and tagged in Castagnoli instead.

In a match featuring Paragon and Death Riders, the story everyone cared about was Garcia and Daddy Magic, which speaks to how well their friendship was developed on television over the last couple of years. When they finally made contact, the crowd popped.

This match had a handful of AEW's best strikers and grapplers, so it would have been shocking if this wasn't at least somewhat good. Thankfully, it was a lot of fun. KOR shined as one of the most active competitors in the match, but all eyes were on Garcia and Daddy Magic.

The action was a little all over the place at times, but they did a good job making sure it was clear who was legal, which can sometimes be an issue in multi-man matches in AEW. Garcia ended up winning with a Stomp to Daddy Magic.

Result: Death Riders defeated Daddy Magic and Paragon

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

It took longer than usual for the first match to get going because AEW did a backstage angle with Hologram being attacked.
Daddy Magic is always just on the brink of overselling something, but he never goes over the edge. It's a skill a lot of people overlook.
Garcia going out of the ring just to sit in a chair so KOR could kick him was a weird moment.

Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir Squash

2 of 8

Last time in action: Shafir and Yuta defeated two jobbers (ROH, Sept. 11)

The beginning of this match was incredibly awkward. Nobody seemed to realize the show was back for a few seconds.

Yuta and Shafir won in a couple of minutes after dominating a couple of opponents. Yuta gave a promo directed at Statlander after the match.

Result: Yuta and Shafir won

Grade: Incomplete

Notable Moments and Observations

Kenny Omega was announced to be returning on Wednesday.
Rachael Ellering pops up in AEW randomly but never to get a win.

The Acclaimed vs. Swirl

3 of 8

Last time in action: Swirl defeated The Kingdom (ROH, August 29), The Acclaimed lost to The Hurt Syndicate (Dynamite, January 1)

Lee Johnson and Blake Christian took on the temporarily reunited Max Caster and Anthony Bowens. Neither member of the Acclaimed wanted to team with their former partner, but Jerry Lynn made it happen.

Bowens won the argument for who would start first, but Caster tagged himself in right away. Then Bowens did the same thing. Caster tripped him and pulled him out of the ring so they could argue. Johnson hit a suicide dive to take advantage of their issues.

Christian and Johnson double-teamed Bowens for a bit. Once The Pride of Pro Wrestling gained the upper hand, Caster tagged in and tried to get him to do a double-team move, which Bowens refused to do.

Swirl maintained control through the commercial break and into the next segment. Bowens was looking for a tag but then decided to leave Caster high and dry. Lynn came out and told him to get back in the ring and finish the match.

Bowens got back on the apron and got the tag. Caster ended up saving him from a pin, but when Bowens was about to win, Caster tagged himself in again. Bowens hit Johnson with a Mollywhop and Caster got the pin.

As a match, this was decent, but the story they are trying to tell was what mattered here. Everyone did their job well, but the crowd was left sad when they didn't scissor.

Result: The Acclaimed defeated Swirl

Grade: B-

Notable Moments and Observations

Bowens brought out a plaque to show that he has a real accomplishment, unlike Caster who just applied for a trademark.
The show cut to the break very suddenly. It seemed like the announcers didn't know it was coming.
Bowens screaming at Caster and calling him name was funny.
Nick Wayne called himself The Prodigy in a backstage segment. Roxanne Perez might have an issue with that.

The Outrunners and Dalton Castle Squash

4 of 8

Last time in action: Castle lost to Strong (Collision, July 10, 2024), The Outrunners lost to Sammy Guevara and Rush (ROH Death Before Dishonor)

Dalton Castle returned to an AEW ring for the first time in over a year to team up with The Outrunners. The new trio won in under two minutes.

Result: The Outrunners and Castle won

Grade: Incomplete

Notable Moments and Observations

Obviously, Castle had different Boys since The Tate Twins are no longer in AEW.

Kyle Fletcher vs. Komander

5 of 8

Last time in action: Fletcher lost to Adam Page (All Out), Komander and JetSpeed defeated LFI (Dynamite, June 4)

The TNT title was on the line when Komander challenged Fletcher for the belt. He was also looking to get payback for Hologram, who Fletcher attacked earlier in the show during a backstage segment.

The high-flyer tried to take control early, but one big slam from The Protostar put him down. He slowed the pace down quite a bit, which made it feel like it increased tenfold when Komander started going on a roll.

These two have had a few matches over the past couple of years and always work well together, and this was no different. Fletcher was a great base for Komander's high-risk offense, but The Protostar also looked like a resilient competitor.

Some of the spots they came up with were very creative, but the title was never in danger. Even with Komander hitting all his biggest moves, Fletcher was able to secure the victory with a series of high-impact moves leading to a brainbuster.

Result: Fletcher defeated Komander

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

The way Fletcher propelled Komander into the air looked great.
Fletcher no-selling some chops just to end up getting taken down anyway was a funny moment.
The headscissor takedown Komander used on the apron looked incredible.

Big Bill and Bryan Keith vs. Hook and Eddie Kingston

6 of 8

Last time in action: Keith and Bill lost to Bang Bang Club (Collision, July 26), Hook and Samoa Joe defeated Death Riders (Dynamite, April 9), Kingston defeated Bill (All Out)

Hook and Kingston made their debut as a duo this week, and their first match was against Keith and Kingston's All Out opponent, Big Bill. Hook announced that this would be a Tornado Tag match on the way to the ring.

When they hit the ring, Eddie and Bill went after each other while Hook and The Bad Apple fought. Hook and Kingston double-teamed the big man for a little while, but once Bill tossed Eddie into the steel steps, the tide shifted.

We returned from a break to see Hook still struggling while Kingston tried to recover at ringside.

This match was entertaining, but there wasn't actually much to it. The competitors made it work, but compared to some of the other bouts we got on this show, this one fell short, which is disappointing because it was Hook and Eddie's debut as a team. Hook got the win by making Keith tap out.

Result: Hook and Kingston defeated Big Bill and Keith

Grade: C+

Notable Moments and Observations

Hook still seems a little unsure of himself on the mic sometimes. He needs more consistent TV time to get better.
Nigel McGuinness namedropped Chris Jericho. It might be nothing, but it might also be a seed being planted for his return.

Jamie Hayter vs. Julia Hart

7 of 8

Last time in action: Hart's team lost 8-woman tag match (Collision, Sept. 20), Hayter lost to Kris Statlander (All Out)

The main event on this week's show was the third singles match between Hart and Hayter. These two have had many battles, but only two one-on-one encounters before this. With one win each, this was the rubber match.

Hayter showed off some power by immediately shoving Hart to the mat after their initial lockup. A few minutes into the match, Skye Blue interfered behind the ref's back and hit a superkick.

When we returned from a break, Blue tried again but was suplexed on the floor by Hayter. The former world champion started making a comeback and threw Hart all around the ring.

Hart grew frustrated when she couldn't put Hayter away. After surviving a Tombstone, Hart was unable to kick out of the Hayterade. This was a good performance but would have benefited from less outside interference.

Blue attacked Hayter after the match was over. She and Hart double-teamed her until Queen Aminata made the save.

Result: Hayter defeated Hart

Grade: B-

Notable Moments and Observations

The show would have flowed better if this match and the TNT title bout swapped places.
This match only got about 12 minutes but they packed enough into that time to make it feel like enough.

The Final Word

8 of 8

Saturday's Collision was a pretty by the books episode, which is not a bad thing. It felt like its own show instead of being used to hype up a PPV.

Other than a couple of squash matches, most of what we got on this week's episode was solid, but one match stood above the rest.

Fletcher and Komander stole the show with a hard-hitting and high-flying matchup. AEW didn't even need to spend much time hyping this one up because anyone familiar with those talents knew it would be great.

Ending the show with Hayter announcing the first women's Blood and Guts match was interesting. We should find out more about who will be competing in this bout soon.

Grade: B-
