A busy seven-match edition of AEW Collision is set to air on Thursday night.

While Collision is usually shown on Saturday nights, the show will instead take place tomorrow night this week, at its typical start time of 8 p.m. ET. The lineup for Thursday’s card, which is being taped tonight from the CanadaLife Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has seven segments confirmed for it thus far.

The sole title match announced for the show will see Willow Nightingale issue an open challenge for her TBS title. Nightingale, who has carried the belt since New Year’s Eve, when she ended the reign of Mercedes Moné, called for one of the best to face her on Collision. We’ll find out tomorrow who answers that challenge.

Another titleholder will appear on the show when Continental Champion Jon Moxley takes on Anthony Bowens in an eliminator. The match will be Moxley’s seventh time appearing in an eliminator match since capturing his belt in late 2025.

Hectic tornado tag action is expected when storylines collide in an eight-man bout. Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Kevin Knight and Mistico will be in action against Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, David Finlay and Clark Connors.

Other bouts on the card include The Don Callis Family’s Andrade El Idolo and Mark Davis meeting Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier of The Rascalz, as well as Tommaso Ciampa battling with the recently-returned Juice Robinson, a match made due to fallout from a Blackjack Battle Royal at Revolution last month.

We’ll also see FTR, who are being hunted by Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, in action. AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions the Divine Dominion are expected to appear as well.

Here’s a quick look at the full lineup thus far:

  • FTR in action
  • Divine Dominion in action
  • Juice Robinson vs. Tommaso Ciampa
  • Andrade El Idolo & Mark Davis vs. Zachary Wentz & Dezmond Xavier
  • Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Kevin Knight & Mistico vs. Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, David Finlay & Clark Connors (Tornado)
