Andrade El Idolo retained the AEW National Championship against Daniel Garcia on the September 19 episode of AEW Collision, and the win set up a new title defense for AEW All Out. According to Fightful and 411Mania, the match ended in controversial fashion, though the specific finish was not detailed by either outlet.
After the bout, the Death Riders came down to attack Andrade, per Fightful’s report. PAC then confronted the champion and issued a challenge for the AEW National Championship, which will now be defended at AEW All Out on September 26 at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, according to POST Wrestling and TPWW.
The same edition of Collision, held at the Charleston Coliseum in West Virginia, also featured a fresh angle for the September 26 AEW Tailgate Brawl special. The Bang Bang Gang, made up of Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin and Jay White, challenged the Death Riders and the Dogs to a group brawl match, according to Fightful. Fightful’s initial report described the challenge as a 10-man Tailgate Brawl, while TPWW’s account of the same segment characterized it as an 8-man matchup between the Bang Bang Gang and the combined forces of the Dogs and Death Riders. The two sources differ slightly on the total number of participants, and it was not confirmed by press time exactly which competitors from each faction will be involved.
Collision also featured a match between Jungle Jack Perry and Katsuyori Shibata, according to TPWW, though full details of that bout were not included in the supplied reporting.
With Andrade now set to defend against PAC and the Bang Bang Gang’s brawl challenge still being sorted out in terms of format, AEW has multiple storylines converging heading into All Out on September 26.
