AEW’s in a transitional moment with Will Ospreay freshly crowned champion after taking down Kenny Omega at All In London. Tonight’s Collision pivots to honoring Andy “The Butcher” Williams while the roster recalibrates around a new power structure. Expect something contemplative mixed with the usual Saturday night grind.
The Butcher Tribute
Wrestling’s losing Andy Williams is no small thing, and AEW’s giving this the time and respect it deserves. How the company frames his legacy—whether through matches, promos, or straight eulogy—will set the emotional tone for the whole show.
WAW Pick: This becomes the emotional centerpiece of the evening, possibly featuring testimonials and a moment of silence that reminds everyone why this business matters beyond the booking sheets.
Kenny Omega makes an unexpected appearance to address his Ospreay loss and hint at a new direction—possibly away from the world title picture entirely and toward a reinvention we’re not seeing coming. His podcast tour suggests he’s processing something bigger than just a singles loss.
