All Elite Wrestling ran a packed slate of Clockwork Carnage qualifying matches across both Dynamite and Collision on October 14, 2026, live from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The two shows, taped back to back at the same venue, saw Darby Allin face Hechicero on Dynamite before the rivalry continued in a separate qualifying bout on Collision, underscoring how central that pairing was to the night’s build toward Clockwork Carnage.
On Dynamite, Will Ospreay and Andrade joined forces for tag team action, teaming against Tommaso Ciampa and Samoa Joe according to PW Torch’s report on the broadcast. The show, which aired on delay on TBS and HBO Max, was called by commentators Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz, with Justin Roberts on ring announcing duties. WrestleTix reported an attendance of 2,771 for the Dynamite taping. Fightful’s results coverage confirmed that Clockwork Carnage qualifiers headlined the broadcast, with additional segments involving Mercedes Mone and Dani Luna also part of the night’s card.
Collision, airing the following day, carried its own set of Clockwork Carnage qualifying matches recorded at the same Cleveland taping. Ricochet faced Ace Austin in one qualifier, while Darby Allin and Hechicero squared off again in a separate bout, giving that program two chances in front of the Wolstein Center crowd to state their case for a place in the Clockwork Carnage field. PW Torch’s Collision report also detailed a women’s tag matchup pitting Britt Baker and Persephone against Dani Luna and Hyan. Excalibur and Tony Schiavone again handled commentary for Collision, joined by Walker Stewart, with Justin Roberts once more serving as ring announcer. WrestleTix listed the same reported attendance figure of 2,771 for the taping.
The dual appearances of Darby Allin against Hechicero across both Dynamite and Collision, along with the overlapping commentary team and shared Cleveland venue, confirm that AEW used the October 14 taping block to seed multiple spots in the Clockwork Carnage tournament simultaneously. Neither source specifies the full qualifying bracket or how many total spots remain open, so the complete tournament field was not established by this report.
