After months of hype and speculation, AEW: Collision will finally premiere. How will two more hours of wrestling impact the company’s storylines with a full summer of pay-per-views? Fans will find the answers ahead.
Collision is being built around CM Punk‘s return to the ring after dealing with injuries and the aftermath of the infamous brawl at All Out in 2022. Promising Punk a microphone in his hand, AEW will give him the chance to speak in his hometown of Chicago at the United Center. One can only imagine what he will say after so much time off, and who his first program will be with, especially with Forbidden Door near.
Punk will also wrestle on Collision, as he and FTR will team up to face Samoa Joe, Juice Robinson and Jay White in a star-studded main event.
Miro and Andrade El Idolo will also make their returns to the ring at AEW’s Collision premiere after extended absences due to injury and other factors. Fans did not see much of either wrestler in 2022, as Miro only wrestled four times and El Idolo last competed at All Out in September.
Wardlow and Luchasaurus will compete for the TNT Championship in the lone title match of the night (at least so far), and Skye Blue and Willow Nightingale will team up to face Toni Storm and Ruby Soho, continuing the events of Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite.
AEW: Collision premieres on Saturday, June 17. The show starts at 8:00 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on TNT. Here are all the matches on the card to date, which we’ll update as necessary until showtime:
