For the final hour of Wednesday’s broadcast, AEW Collision aired outside its usual Saturday timeslot, as WrestleDream will take its place on Oct. 17 and AEW still has three hours of television time to fulfill.
The episode marked the final build to WrestleDream, featuring the final two Clockwork Carnage qualifying matches: Ricochet vs. Ace Austin and Darby Allin vs. Hechicero. Who would claim the final two spots in this unique AEW World Championship match?
Additionally, Chris Jericho and Nick Wayne came face to face in the ring, while Britt Baker and Persephone teamed up to face Hyan and Dani Luna.
That, and more, went down on this episode of Collision:
