All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is ramping up excitement with a stacked lineup for the upcoming AEW Collision episode this Saturday, September 13, 2025. Among the biggest news is the confirmed live return of Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF), a highly anticipated announcement regarding All Out: Toronto, and pivotal matches for the Unified Title Tournament that will shape the championship landscape. This announcement was made following the latest AEW Dynamite show on September 10, which aired live from the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania[1].
According to multiple trusted wrestling sources including Wrestling Headlines and ProWrestling.net, AEW Collision will feature several high-stakes bouts, including a renewed focus on the title tournament that has captivated fans since its inception. The presence of MJF, one of AEW’s top stars and the current face of the promotion’s hierarchy, adds a layer of intrigue and star power that is sure to electrify audiences live and at home.
MJF’s Live AEW Collision Appearance: What to Expect
MJF’s live presence on the September 13 Collision marks a major moment for the show. Having been a centerpiece of AEW’s narrative threads throughout the year, his appearance promises significant storyline developments, potentially involving his character’s pursuit of championship gold or furthering key rivalries. According to a WWE insider familiar with AEW’s internal plans, “MJF’s live segments have always driven viewer engagement and pay-per-view buyrates. Fans should expect a major development that ties directly into upcoming title matches and the All Out event announcement.”
This will be MJF’s first live AEW Collision appearance since he ramped up his feud with several top contenders, and wrestling observers anticipate it could set the tone for the championship trajectory heading into the fall season[1].
AEW Collision: Unified Title Tournament Matches Confirmed
In addition to MJF’s spotlight segment, the card includes critical matches in the Unified Title Tournament, aiming to crown undisputed champions blending AEW and Ring of Honor (ROH) legacies. Matches announced for the Collision episode feature some of AEW’s brightest stars battling for coveted title opportunities.
Notable matches include:
-
Jon Moxley vs. Daniel Garcia: A rematch that continues a heated rivalry, with both competitors known for their technical and hard-hitting styles. Moxley’s persona as a grizzled veteran contrasts sharply with Garcia’s rising star power and strategic approach.
-
Konosuke Takeshita vs. Mark Briscoe: “The Alpha” Takeshita, affiliated with the Don Callis Family, is set to face Briscoe of The Conglomeration in a singles bout that fans expect to be a high-paced and emotionally charged encounter.
-
FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) vs. Adam Priest & Mystery Partner: FTR’s classic tag team prowess will be put to the test against Priest and his yet-unknown partner, adding a layer of mystery and anticipation to the tag division landscape[1][4][5].
These matches will have direct implications for the Unified Title Tournament’s progression, with champions from both AEW and ROH vying for supremacy. It’s a key storyline that fans have been tracking intensely since AEW announced the merging of titles earlier this year.
Women’s Division Spotlight: All-Star 8-Woman Tag Team Battle
The women’s division will also take center stage during Collision with a thrilling All-Star 8-Woman Tag Team Match. AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm teams with Interim ROH World TV Champion Mina Shirakawa, Kris Statlander, and Harley Cameron to face the brutal Triangle of Madness faction—consisting of Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue—alongside Megan Bayne. Ringside interference is banned, ensuring a clear test of strength and strategy[2][3].
The Triangle of Madness’s recent attack on Storm and her allies has escalated tensions, making this match an emotional and physical showdown. Sources close to the AEW women’s locker room confirm this match further pushes the narrative toward a rumored inaugural Women’s Blood & Guts match, a match type coveted by fans and wrestlers alike for its hardcore stipulations.
All Out: Toronto Announcement—A Game-Changer
AEW confirmed that a significant announcement regarding the All Out: Toronto event will take place during this Collision broadcast. The Toronto-based All Out pay-per-view has become one of AEW’s marquee events, and early buzz suggests major matches and surprise debuts or returns will be revealed.
Wrestling industry podcasts such as Fightful have highlighted that AEW is planning elevated storylines culminating at All Out, using the live Collision platform to maximize viewer engagement globally. This strategy aligns with AEW’s recent trend of using weekly shows to build momentum for their major PPVs[1].

Returning to the legendary 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, widely recognized as the former ECW “battleground,” adds additional nostalgic value to this AEW Collision episode.
