AEW Collision Recap 9/6/2025: Jon Moxley Battles Daniel Garcia, Briscoe Faces Takeshita, and a Star-Studded Eight-Woman Tag Match

AEW Collision returned on September 6, 2025, live from the historic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, delivering a packed card highlighted by Jon Moxley versus Daniel Garcia, Mark Briscoe versus Konosuke Takeshita, and a high-profile eight-woman tag team bout featuring AEW’s top female stars. Fans at the venue and viewers on TNT & Max witnessed intense action and storyline progression as AEW continues building momentum toward the upcoming All Out pay-per-view.

Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia Renew Their Rivalry

The main event saw Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia face off in a rematch from their previous AEW Dynamite encounter. Despite coming closer with each outing, Garcia has yet to secure his first victory over the former AEW World Champion. In this highly physical contest, Moxley once again asserted his dominance, successfully outlasting Garcia in a match that underscored both wrestlers’ resilience and technical prowess. Sources close to AEW insiders suggest that Garcia’s near victories signal AEW’s intent to position him as a major future star, with this losing streak building anticipation for a breakthrough moment down the line[1][4].

Mark Briscoe Battles Konosuke Takeshita in a Don Callis Family Showdown

Another standout matchup featured Mark Briscoe taking on Don Callis Family member Konosuke Takeshita. With tensions high following recent attacks and storyline developments, Takeshita and Briscoe delivered a technically sound and hard-hitting bout that continued to weave the ongoing narrative surrounding Don Callis and his faction. The contest not only enhanced Briscoe’s veteran status but also elevated Takeshita’s role within AEW’s expanding roster of international talent. Following the match, Don Callis appeared alongside TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher, further teasing upcoming angles involving the Callis Family and promising explosive moments heading into All Out[1][4].

All-Star Eight-Woman Tag Match: Women’s Division Showdown

AEW’s women’s division was in the spotlight with an “all-star” eight-woman tag match featuring AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm, Interim ROH World TV Champion Mina Shirakawa, Kris Statlander, and Harley Cameron facing the formidable Triangle of Madness—Thekla, Julia Hart, and Skye Blue—plus Megan Bayne. Notably, a ringside ban on supporters created an intense, no-interference environment amplifying the stakes of this confrontation.

This match served as a violent escalation of the burgeoning women’s division war. Triangle of Madness delivered a brutal message last week by attacking Storm and her allies. Tonight, the champ and her teammates sought redemption and control of the factional clashes. The showing of Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron was particularly marked, as both have past conflicts with Bayne and Penelope Ford, adding a layered dynamic to the team match.

According to AEW sources, this bout is part of a larger storyline build toward what some insiders are calling the first-ever women’s Blood & Guts match—an AEW signature brutal war-style match type—hinting at historic implications for the women’s division[2][4].

FTR vs. Adam Priest & Tommy Billington: Road to All Out Intensifies

In tag team action, AEW veterans FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) faced off against the newly forged duo of Adam Priest and Tommy Billington. This match further built upon the animosity between FTR and upcoming AEW stars, especially with pay-per-view implications on the horizon. The respect between opponents was noted, notwithstanding the heated rivalry with Priest and Billington looking to carve their path to prominence. There’s clear momentum behind this feud as AEW prepares for the September 20th All Out event in Toronto[1][4].

Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis Address the Audience

Adding a layer of intrigue, Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis took the mic in a segment that reignited tensions following last Wednesday’s attack on Kenny Omega. Callis’s presence alongside Fletcher, the TNT Champion, was interpreted as a strategic alliance meant to disrupt AEW’s balance of power. According to Fightful’s post-show podcast, this segment closed the show on a provocative note, hinting at major storylines unfolding in upcoming weeks[1].
