CHARLESTON, W.Va. — AEW delivered a title-heavy edition of Collision from the Charleston Coliseum, with Andrade El Ídolo defending the AEW National Championship, Darby Allin putting the TNT Championship on the line, and Thekla continuing her road toward All Out. The show came just one week before AEW All Out in Chicago.
Darby Allin Retains the TNT Championship
Darby Allin def. Myron Reed
Allin successfully defended the TNT Championship against Myron Reed of The Rascalz in a fast-paced opener.
Reed pushed the champion with his explosive offense, but Allin survived the challenge and eventually connected with the Coffin Drop for the decisive pinfall.
Reed had attempted to use a chair at ringside, but Allin moved out of the way, sending Reed crashing into it.
Afterward, Allin turned his attention toward All Out and his upcoming tag-team partnership with Steven Borden. The two will challenge for an AEW World Tag Team Championship opportunity at All Out.
Thekla Makes Her Presence Felt
Thekla def. Zayda Steel
Thekla picked up another victory as she prepares for her All Out showdown with Willow Nightingale.
Nightingale watched from commentary, adding another layer to the developing rivalry.
Thekla and Nightingale will meet at All Out, with the winner earning a future opportunity against AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné.
National Championship Main Event
Andrade El Ídolo vs. Daniel Garcia
The night’s major attraction was AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo defending against Daniel Garcia.
Garcia entered the match with considerable momentum after winning the Butcher Battle Royale the previous week, while Andrade was looking to continue his championship reign.
The match also continued their singles rivalry, with Andrade having previously defeated Garcia twice.
What’s Next
With All Out just one week away, Collision set up several important developments:
Darby Allin & Steven Borden head toward their tag-team championship opportunity.
Thekla vs. Willow Nightingale remains a key women’s division matchup.
The National Championship picture received another major chapter through Andrade’s defense against Garcia.
The fallout from the Death Riders and their ongoing issues with Andrade remains a major storyline heading toward Chicago.
Collision served as an effective final build toward All Out, combining championship defenses with storylines that will carry directly into next weekend’s major event.
Allin’s TNT title defense and the Andrade-Garcia National Championship confrontation were the central competitive highlights of the night.
