AEW’s September 6th edition of Collision delivered a loaded card from the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, offering fans intense singles matches, a high-stakes eight-woman tag team bout, and compelling story progressions as the promotion edges closer to All Out. Headlined by a hard-fought battle between Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia, the night also featured Mark Briscoe clashing with Konosuke Takeshita and a star-packed women’s tag featuring Toni Storm’s team going head-to-head with Triangle of Madness. Here is a detailed breakdown of the evening’s key moments, match outcomes, and backstage insights.

Jon Moxley Edges Past Daniel Garcia in Gritty Main Event

The marquee match saw Jon Moxley take on Daniel Garcia in what was a rematch following their confrontation on last week’s Dynamite. Garcia, who has yet to defeat Moxley but has been narrowing the gap between them over time, came in aggressive and confident. Early in their contest, Moxley targeted Garcia’s hand and fingers with punishing wrenching and relentless corner strikes, displaying his signature physicality.

Despite Garcia’s tenacity and some promising counters, Moxley’s veteran savvy proved decisive. Ultimately, Moxley secured the victory after withstanding Garcia’s offense and methodically dismantling him. Garcia candidly told Tony Schiavone post-match that he acknowledged showing out but admitted it was not enough this time, signaling his hunger for future redemption.

A WWE insider shared on background that while Moxley’s win cements him as a top contender, AEW creative is keen to keep Garcia in the spotlight, indicating a possible long-term program that could elevate Garcia further within the AEW hierarchy.

Mark Briscoe vs. Konosuke Takeshita: A Clash of Styles and Generations

In another highly anticipated singles bout, AEW legend Mark Briscoe faced off against Konosuke Takeshita, a prominent member of the Don Callis Family. This match highlighted the intense contrast between Briscoe’s rugged, hard-hitting brawling style and Takeshita’s technical proficiency and striking.

The bout was physical and fast-paced, with Takeshita often using his agility to offset Briscoe’s power, but Briscoe’s resilience kept the action dynamic and unpredictable. The result served as an important stepping stone for Takeshita and continued to build heat for ongoing faction rivalries revolving around Callis’ influence in AEW.

Notably, post-match, Don Callis and TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher addressed the crowd, adding fuel to the fire after their recent brutal attack on Kenny Omega. Sources close to AEW indicate this segment was designed to escalate tensions ahead of the All Out pay-per-view scheduled later this month.

Eight-Woman Tag: Toni Storm Leads Team Against Triangle of Madness and Megan Bayne

A highlight of the show was the All-Star eight-woman tag team match. This bout featured the AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm teaming with Interim ROH World TV Champion Mina Shirakawa, Kris Statlander, and Harley Cameron against the villainous faction Triangle of Madness Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue plus Megan Bayne.

The match carried extra drama given that a strict ringside ban was imposed, preventing any outside interference, which often plays a big role in AEW’s faction warfare. This ban also sparked speculation among fans and insiders about the potential build toward AEW’s first-ever Women’s Blood & Guts match.

The teams clashed fiercely with Storm’s leadership and her team’s combined strengths tested by the calculated brutality of Triangle of Madness. The presence of Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron, both recent acquisitions with their own personal scores to settle, added an unpredictable edge to the action.

Backstage, multiple AEW insiders have hinted this bout is part of a larger narrative arc set to culminate in a high-profile women’s war game that could redefine the female division’s storytelling landscape.

FTR Overcomes Adam Priest and Tommy Billington in Tag Action

In tag team competition, AEW stalwarts FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) faced off against the returning Tommy Billington and rising star Adam Priest. Billington, making his comeback after a shoulder injury shortly after his AEW signing, teamed with Priest, who has been gaining traction across AEW and ROH programming.

The match showcased solid chemistry with FTR commanding much of the momentum, using their veteran ring generalship to control the pace. Despite Priest and Billington’s spirited offense, FTR cruised to victory with a clean finish a top-rope splash that underscored their continual dominance in the tag division.

In a moment that caught fan attention, Billington delivered a fiery promo mocking the iconic Philadelphia Rocky statue and calling out Eddie Kingston for a fight igniting yet another compelling feud in the city known for its passionate wrestling fanbase.

Backstage Perspectives and AEW’s Path Forward

According to a WWE insider close to the action, AEW is actively using Collision’s residency at the 2300 Arena to test new talent dynamics and intensify rivalries that will pay off at All Out and beyond. “The Philly crowd is a perfect litmus test; AEW brass are gauging reactions carefully to shape future storylines,” the source revealed.

Moreover, the ongoing tension around factions like the Don Callis Family and Triangle of Madness is increasing the stakes for upcoming shows, with promotions looking to maintain audience engagement by blending established stars with emerging talent.
