AEW Collision: Maximum Carnage rolls into Phoenix tonight, bringing with it a stacked card filled with championship stakes, personal rivalries, and long-awaited returns. With the AEW World Trios Titles on the line, a returning Andrade El Idolo, and Penelope Ford’s in-ring comeback, this edition promises non-stop action as AEW kicks off 2026 in high gear.
Hangman and JetSpeed challenge The Opps for Trios Gold
The main event features AEW World Trios Champions The Opps—Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, and Powerhouse Hobbs—defending their titles against “Hangman” Adam Page and JetSpeed (Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey).
Hangman’s rivalry with The Opps dates back to WrestleDream, and tonight he’s teaming with JetSpeed in hopes of finally ending their reign. JetSpeed has backed Hangman in the past, but now they’ll need to click fast as a team to overcome the dominant champions. With rumors swirling that Hobbs may be on his way out of AEW, the stakes are even higher.
Add in the wildcard presence of Swerve Strickland, who’s taken a recent interest in JetSpeed, and this title match could spiral into chaos.
Andrade El Idolo returns to AEW ring
After over a year away from AEW competition, Andrade El Idolo returns to action against Angelico. Andrade reappeared earlier this month and is now looking to reestablish himself—possibly with the Don Callis Family in his sights.
Fans are eager to see what Andrade’s goals for 2026 might be. Tonight’s match will offer a glimpse into how AEW plans to use one of its most talented performers moving forward.
Kyle Fletcher, Callis Family face Skyflight in trios clash
Kyle Fletcher, returning from a tough loss in the Continental Classic semifinals, teams up with fellow Don Callis Family members Josh Alexander and El Clon to take on Skyflight in six-man tag action.
Don Callis reportedly wants Fletcher to regain the TNT Championship, but for now, he’s focused on getting back to winning ways. This match is the first big step in that journey—and a test of Callis’ vision for his powerful new faction.
AEW Women’s Division: Penelope Ford returns
Penelope Ford is finally cleared for action after being sidelined by injury for months. She’ll reunite with her powerhouse tag partner Megan Bayne tonight. With the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Titles in their sights, the duo is looking to build momentum early in the year.
Meanwhile, Zayda Steel, the newest addition to Skyflight, steps into the ring with Marina Shafir. Steel was attacked last week after calling Shafir out, and now she’s ready to back up her words. But facing someone as dangerous as Shafir won’t be easy.
Kingston and Ortiz reunite to face GYV
After Ortiz’s surprise return to help Eddie Kingston fend off the Grizzled Young Veterans, the two former allies are back together as a tag team. They’ll face GYV tonight in a battle that’s become personal. Will Kingston and Ortiz make GYV regret poking the bear?
Who will challenge for the AEW National Championship?
“Jungle” Jack Perry takes on Anthony Bowens with a shot at Ricochet’s AEW National Championship on the line. Both men are best known as tag specialists, but tonight, only one will take a big step forward in their singles career.
FTR to respond after new contenders emerge
After Mark Davis and Jake Doyle became the No. 1 contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Titles on Dynamite, we’ll hear from the champions, FTR, tonight. Expect them to respond with intensity as they prepare for yet another test in AEW’s deep tag team division.
