AEW Collision on January 3 2026 delivered a packed night of action that balanced fresh faces, hard hitting competition and storyline momentum as the promotion kicked off the new year with confidence. The show aired from Esports Stadium Arlington and featured a mix of debuts, contender defining bouts and a compelling main event that left a strong impression on fans.
The night opened with El Clon making his AEW in ring debut against Angélico. The match served as a solid introduction, with El Clon showcasing agility and control to secure a clean victory. It was a straightforward win but one that clearly positioned him as a name to watch in the weeks ahead, especially with Serpentico accompanying him at ringside.
The women’s division was well represented with multiple matches. Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa continued to build chemistry as the Timeless Love Bombs, defeating Hyan and Maya World in an entertaining tag team contest. Storm’s larger than life persona combined smoothly with Shirakawa’s intensity, giving the team growing credibility. Marina Shafir and Megan Bayne also picked up a dominant win over Rache Chanel and Londyn Dior, reinforcing their physical edge and no nonsense approach.
One of the most important matches of the night saw Hechicero face Komander with TNT Championship implications on the line. The bout was fast paced and technically impressive, blending high flying offense with mat based counters. Hechicero emerged victorious, earning the status of number one contender for the TNT Title. The result firmly elevated him and set the stage for a high stakes championship clash in the near future.
Tag team action continued with JetSpeed, Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight, taking on Bryan Keith and Big Bill. The contrast in styles made for an engaging match, with JetSpeed’s speed and precision eventually overcoming the size and power of their opponents. The win added momentum to a tag division that continues to deepen.
Shelton Benjamin returned to singles action against Dante Martin after a late change saw Martin step in for an unfit Scorpio Sky. Despite Martin’s athletic bursts, Benjamin’s experience and strength proved decisive. The match highlighted Benjamin’s veteran presence and suggested that he still has plenty to offer in meaningful singles programs.
The main event featured Darby Allin going one on one with Wheeler Yuta in a match that embodied AEW’s identity. Both men brought intensity and resilience, with Yuta targeting Allin aggressively while Allin relied on heart and risk taking offense. In the end, Darby Allin secured the win, closing the show with momentum and reaffirming his status as one of AEW’s most compelling stars.
