AEW Collision Preview: Hangman vs Switchblade in Owen Hart Semifinal

One big thing: MJF to open the show after shocking attack on Daniel Garcia

Maxwell Jacob Friedman is set to kick off AEW Collision tonight, following his brutal assault on Daniel Garcia on Wednesday’s Dynamite.

• MJF cost Garcia his AEW International Championship match against Will Ospreay
• He then viciously attacked Garcia, leaving him bloodied and hospitalized
• This comes after weeks of MJF seemingly turning over a new leaf

Why it matters:

MJF’s actions reveal his true nature, showing he hasn’t changed despite his recent fan-friendly persona. His opening promo will likely attempt to justify his actions, potentially setting up future storylines.
