AEW Collision May 30: WAW Clash Card

πŸ—“ AEW Β· May 30, 2026 Β· Jacksonville, Florida Β· Daily’s PlaceTIAA Bank Field

AEW Collision rolls into Jacksonville tonight with a card that’s lean but loaded with purpose β€” Konosuke Takeshita’s first International Championship defense sets the tone for a post-Double or Nothing landscape that’s still settling. Meanwhile, Jon Moxley and PAC sharing a ring together is either the most volatile partnership in wrestling or the most inevitable one, and neither option is boring.

1

AEW International Championship β€” Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Daniel Garcia

Takeshita barely had time to wipe the confetti off before Tony Khan threw Garcia at him, which tells you how seriously this reign is being treated out of the gate. Garcia has been one of the most credible challengers on the roster all year β€” this isn’t a gimme, and Takeshita knows it.
WAW Pick: Konosuke Takeshita β€” Too soon to take the belt off, but Garcia makes him work hard enough to establish the new champion as someone who earns it every time out.

2

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley & PAC) vs. The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean)

This is less a match and more a public execution with a referee present β€” the story here is entirely about what Moxley and PAC look like doing it together and whether the chemistry holds when the Death Riders’ internal tension is always simmering just below the surface.
WAW Pick: The Death Riders β€” Moxley and PAC dismantle The Infantry, but watch for a moment of friction that plants a seed.

3

The Gunns (Austin & Colten Gunn) vs. The Dogs (David Finlay & Clark Connors)

Finlay and Connors bring genuine nastiness to this matchup, and The Gunns need a performance that reminds people they’re more than a legacy act β€” this one has the potential to be the sleeper hit of the night if given time.
WAW Pick: The Dogs β€” Finlay’s edge and Connors’ aggression are exactly the kind of thing that exposes The Gunns when they’re not clicking, and tonight they’re not clicking.

🎲 WAW Wildcard

With Takeshita’s first reign being spotlighted and the Death Riders’ alliance under a microscope, PAC turns on Moxley mid-match or immediately after β€” not a full betrayal, but a shove, a cold stare, something that signals PAC is done being a passenger in someone else’s war machine.

6/10

Hype Rating

Hype Rating: 6/10 β€” The Takeshita-Garcia match alone justifies tuning in, but this is a Collision that’s more about momentum and positioning than spectacle.
