AEW Collision 7/30/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/aew-collision-7252026.html

Alex says they are hone in more ways than one and says they are All Elite. 

Thoughts: Them signing with AEW was kind of expected, though I figured they would wait until All In. They'll fit right in. Will they draw any new viewers or sell tickets? Not really. Will they have some good matches? Absolutely.

Thoughts: I'm fine with this. At least there isn't a new title coming out of it. It might give us some different matches. It's stupid though that in theory, Mox has to win this tournament to keep his title then has to win The Continental Classic in 2 months to keep the title again when he could just be TNT champ and defend it whenever.

Thoughts: Will did a lot of flying here. They kept this moving and Will got the win as expected. There wasn't a great story or anything and I don't get why The Death Riders didn't go after Will for turning on him, but the wrestler was okay. Mox spent this whole match putting Will over like he's still best friends with him. Did they just forget this week happened or something?

He says no one is coming to save him. Will then grabs the chair and scares the heels out.

Will gets on the mic after. Will says if Mark wanted to bring weapons into the situation, all he had to do was ask. He says he needs to show everyone there is no hesitation left. He says they should make their match a Mexico City Street Fight. Will says it's do or die.

Overall thoughts: It was a good night of in-ring action. We had a lot of fast paced and exciting matches here and they hit the mark on just about everything minus the squashes. We also had The Motor City Machine Guns debut, Rhino/ICP appear and the announcement of The Continental Cup. The matches were a bit random but at least they were good. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 overall as this was much better than the usual Collision. I liked the women's trios match best here. It was a good show.
