Seattle wrestling fans are in for a treat as AEW delivers another explosive evening at the accesso ShoWare Center. Thursday’s Collision promises championship drama, family dynamics, and heated rivalries coming to a head on TNT and Max at 8 p.m. ET.
TNT Championship Drama: Cole Faces Alexander’s Challenge
The main event spotlight belongs to Adam Cole, who finds himself defending the TNT Championship against Josh Alexander in what promises to be a technical masterpiece. Cole’s frustration with The Don Callis Family has reached a boiling point, describing them as a persistent “thorn in his side” over recent weeks.
Alexander, known as “The Walking Weapon,” represents everything dangerous about answering an open challenge. His technical prowess and championship experience make him a legitimate threat to Cole’s title reign. The champion knows full well that tangling with any Callis Family member often means dealing with the entire stable’s interference.
Father and Son Unite: Patriarchy’s New Dynamic
Christian Cage’s declaration last week marked a pivotal moment for The Patriarchy. “The Patriarch” announced it was time for ROH World Television Champion Nick Wayne to stand beside him as an equal rather than follow behind as a student.
Their first test as partners comes against the formidable duo of Big Bill and Bryan Keith. This matchup represents more than just a tag team contest – it’s about establishing The Patriarchy’s new hierarchy and proving their family bond translates to in-ring success.
Tag Division Implications
Both teams harbor serious ambitions within AEW’s competitive tag team landscape. The outcome could significantly impact future championship opportunities and divisional positioning.
Kyle vs. Kyle: Paragon Seeks Redemption
The ongoing war between Paragon and The Don Callis Family takes center stage when Kyle O’Reilly squares off against Kyle Fletcher. Recent setbacks, including ProtoShita’s controversial victory over his own Paragon teammates, have left the stable needing momentum.
O’Reilly carries the weight of restoring his group’s credibility against “The Protostar” Fletcher. This technical showcase could determine which faction gains the upper hand in their escalating conflict.
Women’s Division Spotlight: Aminata vs. Blue
Queen Aminata enters Thursday’s action seeking redemption after last week’s disappointing All Star 8-Woman Tag Match result. Red Velvet’s interference in favor of ROH Women’s World Champion Athena left Aminata’s team frustrated and hungry for payback.
Skye Blue presents a tough challenge for the determined Aminata. This singles competition offers both women an opportunity to build momentum in AEW’s increasingly competitive women’s division.
International Flavor: Tag Team Collision
The success of AEW Grand Slam Mexico continues to pay dividends as Templario and Brody King reunite for another partnership. Their chemistry impressed fans south of the border, and Thursday’s contest against Rocky Romero and Hechicero promises similar excitement.
Expect a fascinating contrast of styles as Templario’s high-flying approach combines with King’s devastating power game against The Don Callis Family representatives.
FTR’s Mysterious Invitation
Wednesday’s Dynamite saw FTR extend an intriguing invitation to The Outrunners for a Collision meeting. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler promised to clarify their intentions and reveal their strategic plans moving forward.
The wrestling world watches closely as these respected veterans prepare to address their future. With multiple tag teams vying for championship opportunities, FTR’s next move could reshape the entire division landscape.
Seattle’s Thursday night wrestling experience promises championship excellence, family drama, and bitter rivalries reaching their breaking points. Which storylines will advance, and what surprises await the passionate AEW faithful?
