By [Watch Wrestling], Elite Wrestling Insider
The air is electric, the stakes are sky-high, and the wrestling world is buzzing with anticipation—AEW Collision returns with another explosive episode on May 8, 2025, and if the rumors are true, this could be one of the most unforgettable nights in All Elite Wrestling history.
From championship showdowns to bitter rivalries reaching their boiling point, AEW Collision Live (5/8/25) promises to deliver the hard-hitting, high-flying, and emotionally charged action that fans have come to expect. Whether you’re tuning in live from the arena or streaming online, this is one event you cannot afford to miss.
In this exclusive 2000+ word preview, we’ll break down every major match, storyline development, surprise appearances, and potential swerves that could define the road to AEW’s next mega-event. Buckle up—this is going to be a wild ride.
Main Event Madness: The World Title Picture Heats Up
AEW World Championship – “The Revolutionary” Jon Moxley (c) vs. “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson
The main event of AEW Collision is a dream match years in the making—Jon Moxley defends the AEW World Championship against Bryan Danielson in what could be an instant classic.
Moxley, the battle-hardened brawler with an unbreakable will, has been on a warpath since reclaiming the title earlier this year. His brutal, no-holds-barred style has left a trail of destruction, but Danielson presents a different challenge entirely. “The American Dragon” is a technical mastermind, capable of dismantling opponents with surgical precision.
Key Storylines:
- Danielson earned this shot after a grueling #1 Contender’s Tournament, defeating the likes of Claudio Castagnoli and PAC.
- Moxley has vowed to “rip Danielson apart”, while Bryan has promised to “expose Moxley’s weaknesses” in a pure wrestling contest.
- Rumors suggest outside interference could play a factor—will The Blackpool Combat Club get involved? Or will another faction crash the party?
Prediction: This one could go either way, but expect a 25+ minute masterpiece with near-falls that’ll leave fans breathless. Will Moxley retain through sheer brutality, or will Danielson outwrestle him to become a 2-time AEW World Champion?
Grudge Match of the Year: CM Punk vs. MJF – The Final Chapter?
“The Second City Saint” CM Punk vs. “The Devil” MJF – No Disqualification
If there’s one rivalry that defines AEW’s most personal, venomous feuds, it’s CM Punk vs. MJF. Their war has spanned years, filled with betrayals, shoot promos, and brutal matches—and now, on Collision, they meet one last time under No Disqualification rules.
Why This Matters:
- Punk cost MJF the AEW World Title at Double or Nothing 2024, leading to MJF’s vow to end Punk’s career.
- MJF has psychologically tormented Punk, bringing up his past failures and even faking retirement to manipulate him.
- With no rules, expect weapons, blood, and an all-out brawl that spills throughout the arena.
Wildcard Factor: Will Wardlow return to side with MJF? Or could FTR make a shocking appearance to back Punk?
Prediction: This feud needs a definitive ending, and MJF has to go over—but not before both men leave everything in the ring.
Tag Team Turmoil: The Young Bucks vs. FTR – Who’s the REAL Best in the World?
AEW World Tag Team Championship – The Young Bucks (c) vs. FTR
The greatest tag team rivalry of the modern era adds another chapter as The Young Bucks and FTR clash once again for the AEW World Tag Team Titles.
History Lesson:
- These teams have stolen the show everywhere from All Out to WrestleKingdom.
- FTR’s old-school, smashmouth style contrasts perfectly with The Bucks’ high-flying, rule-breaking antics.
- The Bucks have cheated to win before—will they do it again, or will FTR finally regain the gold?
X-Factor: Could Cash Wheeler’s recent injury play a role? Or will a surprise debut (maybe former Bullet Club members?) shift the balance?
Prediction: The Bucks retain via shenanigans, setting up a blowoff match at AEW’s next PPV.
Women’s Division Showdown: Thunder Rosa’s Redemption
Thunder Rosa vs. Dr. Britt Baker DMD – Steel Cage Match
The longstanding blood feud between Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker reaches its most violent conclusion yet—inside a Steel Cage.
Why You Should Care:
- Their Lights Out Match in 2021 is still considered one of AEW’s best women’s matches ever.
- Baker has manipulated officials to avoid facing Rosa, but now, there’s no escape.
- The loser must leave AEW for 6 months—massive stakes.
Prediction: Thunder Rosa escapes the cage, finally conquering her nemesis and reigniting her title aspirations.
Surprise Returns & Debuts: Who Shows Up?
AEW Collision is known for its shocking moments, and May 8 could deliver another. Here’s who might appear:
- Adam Cole – After months of recovery, is he finally back?
- Kenny Omega – The Cleaner’s return would shake the entire roster.
- Jay White – “Switchblade” has been teasing a major move—could he align with someone?
- AEW’s Next Big Signing – Tony Khan loves surprises. Who’s next?
