AEW will present a live 3-hour special combining Dynamite and Collision on May 20, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET from the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine, airing on TBS and streaming on HBO Max. The show kicks off AEW Double or Nothing Week and will feature Darby Allin defending the AEW World Title against "Speedball" Mike Bail.
AEW Collision experienced increases in both average overall viewership and key demographic ratings on 5/16/26, following declines in both metrics the previous week.
MJF criticized Mick Foley during an interview with Jon Alba, calling the WWE Hall of Famer "fat and ugly" and blaming him for being "the blueprint of what Darby Allin is now." The comments came amid discussion about AEW's reported interest in bringing Foley into the company, with MJF making it clear he has no interest in working with the hardcore wrestling legend.
WWE's Danhausen reacted after cursing the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks, stating "Danhausen Told You The Curse Was Real." AEW's Swerve Strickland admitted he's a "believer" following the incident.
The Minnesota Twins and All Elite Wrestling have announced "Brawl in the Ballpark," a postgame wrestling event taking place on Friday, July 10 at Target Field. This marks the first-ever collaboration between Major League Baseball and AEW.
AEW star Swerve Strickland has commented on the recent departures of Aleister Black and Zelina Vega from WWE. Both Black and Vega were former champions during their time with WWE.
AEW crossover star Mistico is reportedly injured after appearing on crutches at a CMLL show in Arena Puebla on Monday evening. The lucha libre wrestler's condition became apparent during his appearance at the event.
Jim Ross commented on Kevin Nash's recent support for a wrestlers' union, stating that people should listen to Nash because "he knows what he's talking about." Ross discussed Nash's backing of the union idea during his remarks.
MJF has commented on AEW talents using the promotion to get back to WWE, specifically calling out Aleister Black. MJF expressed his frustration with wrestlers who aren't team players, telling them to "f**k off, go elsewhere" as he doesn't want to deal with such individuals.
MJF publicly criticized former AEW wrestler Malakai Black on The Ariel Helwani Show, calling him "the biggest offender" among wrestlers who allegedly treated AEW as a stepping stone back to WWE rather than fully committing to the company. MJF stated that Black and others came in expecting to quickly reach top positions before returning to WWE, and suggested the AEW locker room atmosphere has improved significantly since those wrestlers were "weeded out."
MJF commented on WWE's TKO-era contract restructuring on The Ariel Helwani Show, stating he understands why wrestlers are rejecting pay cuts and praising talents like The New Day for "knowing their worth." When asked how he would respond to a similar situation, MJF said he would refuse, emphasizing that AEW has never asked talent to take pay cuts during active contracts. MJF attributed WWE's approach to being owned by TKO Group Holdings and their focus on maximizing profits, while suggesting AEW handles business differently.
MJF responded to recent reports claiming WWE sources have questioned AEW's television future, calling the rumors a "smart business tactic" rather than reality during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show. MJF stated that Warner Bros. Discovery is "over the moon" with AEW and compared the situation to competitors trying to undermine each other through media narratives. His comments follow Tony Khan's similar denial of the reports during the ROH Supercard of Honor media scrum, where Khan called claims about AEW struggling for another television deal far from the truth.
