2/28 AEW COLLISION REPORT

By Cory Strode on 2026-02-28 22:13:00

AEW Collision was recorded on Wednesday after Dynamite from the Mission Ballroom in Denver, CO. The commentary team is Tony Schiavone, Nigel McGuinness, and Excalibur.

We start with MJF coming to the ring and he doesn’t want his music played. He says that Collision doesn’t start until Revolution gets rectified. He says death matches are for indy bums and he demands Tony Khan come to the ring and change the title match. Instead, we get Kevin Knight who says he has been stacking wins and saw how MJF tried to weasel out of the Texas Death Match. He says people are tired of hearing about how much better and richer he is than everyone else. Knight puts himself over and says he is the here and now.

MJF calls him a child and says he shouldn't be telling MJF how to do his job. He then tells Knight to jet his ass to Dynamite for a match for the world title and when he is done with Knight he won’t be the future or the now, he’ll be history.

We get a video of Mark Briscoe wanting to get another match with Tommaso Ciampa and hype for Jay Lethal vs. Ciampa later tonight.
