AEW Collision airs tonight as the final episode before Sunday’s Dynasty pay-per-view, with a loaded card featuring two championship matches, a Casino Gauntlet qualifier, and the return of The Hurt Syndicate. The show was taped at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and airs on TNT and HBO Max domestically and HBO Max internationally.
The headline match sees Kazuchika Okada defending the AEW International Championship against Myron Reed in what should be a compelling title match heading into Dynasty weekend. Okada is fresh off the announcement that he will team with Konosuke Takeshita against The Young Bucks at Dynasty on Sunday, with the added stipulation that Takeshita will earn an International Championship shot at Double or Nothing on May 24 if the team succeeds.
The AEW World Trios Championships are also on the line as Mistico and JetSpeed — Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight — defend against The Dogs — David Finlay, Gabe Kidd, and Clark Connors. The Trios Championships have been one of AEW‘s most hotly contested titles in recent months, and The Dogs represent a physically imposing challenge for the reigning champions heading into the biggest pay-per-view weekend of the spring.

RUSH faces Anthony Bowens in the Casino Gauntlet qualifier with the number two spot in the Dynasty Casino Gauntlet match on the line — a significant opportunity given the stipulations surrounding that match on Sunday. The Young Bucks take on Don Callis Family members El Clon and Hechicero in tag team action ahead of their Dynasty main card appearance against Okada and Takeshita, giving the Bucks one final opportunity to build momentum heading into one of Sunday’s most anticipated bouts.
Thekla and Marina Shafir face The Brawling Birds — Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor — in a match that carries direct Dynasty implications given Thekla’s Women’s World Championship defense against Hayter on Sunday. The go-home confrontation gives both teams a chance to build heat heading into what figures to be one of Dynasty’s most personal championship bouts. The Hurt Syndicate also return to in-ring action against a to-be-announced opponent following MVP’s recent promise that Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin would be back competing soon.
The full card is as follows: AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Myron Reed. AEW World Trios Championships: Mistico and JetSpeed (c) vs. The Dogs. Casino Gauntlet Qualifier for the Number Two Spot: RUSH vs. Anthony Bowens. Young Bucks vs. El Clon and Hechicero. Thekla and Marina Shafir vs. The Brawling Birds. Hurt Syndicate vs. TBA. Collision airs tonight on TNT and HBO Max with Dynasty taking place Sunday April 12 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia.
