A special episode of AEW Collision will air on Thursday, May 8, 2025, emanating out of the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, Michigan.
Scheduled for that show will be Willow Nightingale vs. Kris Statlander, after the two had a backstage segment with Statlander trying to get them back on the same friendly page again and Nightingale suggesting they work it out in the ring.

It was also announced that “Speedball” Mike Bailey will face Dralistico, Anthony Bowens will be up against Lee Johnson, and Daniel Garcia is set to battle one of the two members of FTR (either Dax Harwood or Cash Wheeler).
Another match was announced for next week’s AEW Beach Break as well (Dynamite and Collision both taping on Wednesday, May 14th at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois).
At the start of this episode, “Hangman” Adam Page and Will Ospreay had an in-ring promo together that was interrupted by The Don Callis Family. Ospreay took it upon himself to volunteer Page to join him in a tag team match against two members of that faction, which will apparently be Konosuke Takeshita and Josh Alexander, even though Page didn’t seem to be particularly thrilled with the idea.
Later on, Don Callis also put out a challenge for The Outrunners to get two teammates to face Kyle Fletcher, Lance Archer, Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero, but they didn’t specifically confirm when that match will go down.
The Don Callis Family continues to cause mayhem as they send a message to The Outrunners!

Next week, we’ll also hear from The Hurt Syndicate about whether or not MJF will join the group. Or, at least, that’s what seems like will happen, but their legal council Harrison Landau interrupted and basically told them not to say anything.
"When he speaks, we listen"
The answers from the Hurt Syndicate will have to wait until next week!
