Wrestling Inc. brings you the AEW Collision event from January 3, 2025, live from Esports Stadium Arlington in Arlington, Texas. Shelton Benjamin is set to face Dante Martin before a showdown with Jon Moxley in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator match scheduled for “Dynamite.” Tony Khan revealed that Benjamin was initially supposed to go up against Scorpio Sky, who is yet to be cleared to compete. In a live announcement on X (formerly Twitter), Khan confirmed matches including Hexero vs. The Commander, with the victor earning a TNT title shot next week, as well as JetSpeed vs. Brian Keith and Big Bill. Darby Allin is aiming for a match against Death Riders’ PAC, but Yuta Wheeler insists Allin must get past him first. Following two straight losses, Timeless Love Bombs look to regroup against AEW newcomers Maya World and HYAN, with Megan Bain and Marina Shafir also making appearances. El Cron, a recent AEW addition linked to Don Callis’ group, who previously challenged Orange Cassidy for the TNT Championship, is making his in-ring debut in the same venue where his rival Hologram debuted against Angelico.
In the match between El Cron and Angelico, Angelico began with a leg sweep attempt that Cron blocked. The battle saw Angelico working Cron’s arm before Cron retaliated with his own aggressive moves, including a springboard DDT and a spinning blue thunder bomb, eventually securing the victory. Post-match, Cron attacked Serpentico but was saved by The Commander, to whom Cron then saluted before pointing directly.
Timeless Love Bombs, accompanied by Luther, faced Maya World and HYAN. The match featured swift back-and-forth action with strong teamwork, multiple suplexes, and signature moves from both teams. Despite the challengers’ efforts, Timeless Love Bombs secured the win after Toni delivered a decisive Storm Zero. As the victors exited, the ominous Death Riders’ theme played, prompting Toni to scan for Marina Shafir.
Fan Take: This show has set the stage for some exciting rivalries and showcases promising talent like El Cron making his debut, which will be thrilling for AEW fans eager for fresh storylines. The mix of intense matchups and escalating personal conflicts hints at growing depth in AEW’s roster and storytelling that could elevate the wrestling scene further.
