Two title showdowns have been confirmed for the next week of AEW TV.

Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision, which is being taped on Thursday night from Boston, Massachusetts, will see Hikaru Shida defend her TBS Championship against the hard-hitting Queen Aminata.

Aminata made the save for Harley Cameron on last week’s episode of Collision, putting an end to a post-match attack being unleashed by the champ. Now, she’ll soon have the chance to get her hands on Shida and possibly take her belt.

Along with the title match, it’s been confirmed for Satruday that the recently re-signed Jack Perry will meet Nick Wayne, and Tommaso Ciampa will be in action.

Next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, live from The Pinnacle in Nashville, Tennessee, will see Darby Allin attempt to take the TNT Championship off Kevin Knight. A loss would be a huge blow to Knight, who is looking to gain momentum before he challenges Kenny Omega at Redemption for the world title later this month.

It’s also been confirmed that next week’s Dynamite will see All In opponents Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay team alongside Jon Moxley to face a trio of Don Callis Family wrestlers. The match will be Hechicero’s first time appearing on an AEW show since April, as visa issues have kept the luchador in Mexico for months.

Here’s how the next seven days look for AEW currently:

AEW Collision 7/18/26

  • Tommaso Ciampa in action
  • Jack Perry vs. Nick Wayne
  • Hikaru Shida vs. Queen Aminata (TBS Championship)

AEW Dynamite 7/22/26

  • Kevin Knight vs. Darby Allin (TNT Championship)
  • Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay & Jon Moxley vs. Jake Doyle, Hechicero & Brian Cage
