AEW Collision is LIVE TONIGHT with a special Thursday edition! Once again, AEW comes to you from the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, on TNT and HBO Max at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT. If Dynamite was any indication, the tension is high and only rising with AEW All In: London at Wembley Stadium just 31 days away. And tonight includes a match that directly stems from what went down at the beginning of Dynamite.

The Death Riders confronted Will Ospreay as he arrived last night, so he delivered a Hidden Blade to Daniel Garcia and made it clear he’s done with the group. Garcia didn’t take long to call Ospreay out, and tonight, the former training partners will battle. Bang Bang Gang weren’t happy with how things went down for them at Redemption, so they want to pick up that fight tonight against the Death Riders in eight-man tag action. And ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, Billie Starkz and Diamanté take on the Brawling Birds and Hazuki in a loaded trios match.

Our back-to-back nights in the Motor City continue this evening with Collision! Check out everything you need to know below.

Will Ospreay is out of the Death Riders, as they officially learned when they confronted him at the beginning of Dynamite, as Ospreay laid out Garcia and gave Jon Moxley his Death Riders patch back. Tonight on Collision, the former Death Rider faces Garcia, who put out the challenge on Dynamite and warned Ospreay that when it comes to the Death Riders, “It’s hard to get in and it’s hard to get out.” 

Ospreay's departure from the Death Riders leaves him all alone heading into the match of his life with AEW World Champion Kenny Omega at All In: London, but that doesn’t mean the Death Riders plan on giving Ospreay any space. Will Garcia make Ospreay pay for his actions, or is Ospreay operating at a completely different level these days?

The violence of a double chain match wasn’t quite enough to settle things between Bang Bang Gang and The Dogs, as thanks to some help from the Death Riders, The Dogs were victorious. Bang Bang Gang wants revenge for the Death Riders once again getting physically involved in their business, so they issued a challenge for an eight-man tag, which the Death Riders accepted. Two sides that do not like each other at all, with different philosophies and plenty to settle, should make for a chaotically violent eight-man tag tonight in Detroit.

ROH Women's World Champion Athena and her MIT, Billie Starkz and Diamanté, find themselves opposite the Brawling Birds, Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor, and HAZUKI in a trios match. The Brawling Birds and Athena had a moment between their matches two weeks ago, and last week on Collision, Athena called them out for a fight. While the Birds have their sights set on AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Divine Dominion, they must keep their focus on Athena and her MIT tonight. And having Hayter’s STARDOM Oedo Tai stablemate, HAZUKI, by their side makes this quite the formidable trio.

The Demand’s quest for gold finally came to fruition last night when they defeated The Conglomeration to win the AEW World Trios Championship, albeit with some help from The Lethal Twist. After winning, Liona called for more bodies and told the rest of the trios division, “If you want to flirt with death, I demand you step up!”

The Rascalz did just that and will challenge The Demand for the AEW World Trios Titles tonight! And as Reed pointed out, The Rascalz have a victory over The Demand in Mile High Madness earlier this year. If they win again tonight, The Rascalz will have their first AEW titles. Considering what The Demand is willing to do to keep the gold, it’s going to take a big effort to knock them off the mountain so quickly.

Statlander returned last night on Dynamite and helped Maya World retain her TBS Championship by stopping CMLL World Women’s Champion Persephone from using a kendo stick that was supplied to her by Hikaru Shida. It was appropriate revenge after Persephone cost Statlander the TBS Title in Survival of the Fittest. For the first time since that crushing loss, Statlander is in action tonight in Detroit!

Last week on Collision, The Lethal Twist earned a big win over SkyFlight and tonight, Jay Lethal will meet “The Komander of the Skies” in singles action. Last night on Dynamite, Komander threw everything he could at AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley in a fantastic effort that had the Detroit crowd in a frenzy. Can he recreate that atmosphere tonight against the veteran cunning of Lethal?
