All Elite Wrestling's AEW Collision episode aired live from Tucson Arena on March 7, 2026, featuring key matches ahead of Revolution. FTR defended their AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Rascalz in the opener, while Konosuke Takeshita defeated Claudio Castagnoli in the main event. Several storylines advanced, including Tommaso Ciampa's betrayal of Mark Briscoe and Toni Storm's challenge to Marina Shafir.
The March 7 episode of AEW Collision took place at Tucson Arena in Tucson, Arizona, broadcasting live on TNT and streaming on HBO Max at 8 p.m. ET. It served as a pivotal stop eight days before AEW Revolution on March 15 in Los Angeles.
Opening the show, AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, with Stokely Hathaway) defended against The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier, with Myron Reed). The challengers, who won an Eliminator Match two weeks prior, pushed FTR with high-flying offense, including a frog splash and swanton bomb combination on Harwood. FTR retained after hitting Wentz with the Shatter Machine at 15:04. Mark Briscoe entered post-match for commentary on the next bout, exchanging words with FTR.
Backstage, HOOK and Katsuyori Shibata recruited for The Opps, with Anthony Bowens expressing interest. Bowens took a camera to follow them as HOOK tested a potential member with REDRUM.
In a battle of former TNT Champions, Daniel Garcia defeated Tommaso Ciampa at 10:14 via jackknife pin after Ciampa collided with Briscoe on the apron. Post-match, Ciampa and Briscoe argued, but FTR confronted Ciampa. Briscoe backed Ciampa, and they left together until Ciampa attacked Briscoe on the ramp with a running knee, earning FTR's applause.
Swerve Strickland defeated Gravity at 3:59 with House Call, showcasing dominance ahead of his Revolution match with Brody King. AEW Women's World Champion Thekla responded to Kris Statlander's two-out-of-three falls challenge, initially refusing but taunting, 'Everything you're afraid of… IS EVERYTHING I AM!'
Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen) won a $200,000 Four-Way Tag against The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum), LFI (RUSH and Dralístico), and The Swirl (Blake Christian and Lee Johnson) at 11:52 via doomsday cutter on Johnson.
JetSpeed (Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey) discussed recent losses, interrupted by Swerve advising Knight to 'become a killer.' Footage showed Megan Bayne and Lena Kross attacking AEW Women's World Tag Team Champions Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron.
Bayne and Kross defeated Timeless Love Bombs (Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa, with Luther) at 12:51 after Marina Shafir interfered, pulling Storm under the ring. Briscoe later challenged Ciampa and FTR to a trios match on Dynamite with the Young Bucks.
The Dogs (David Finlay, Gabe Kidd, and Clark Connors) squashed Cosmo Orion, Gmo Kaminari, and Jaden Monroe at 1:46. Storm challenged Shafir to a Revolution match with no one at ringside, which Shafir accepted.
In the main event, NJPW World TV Champion Konosuke Takeshita of the Don Callis Family defeated CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Claudio Castagnoli of the Death Riders at 14:41 with Raging Fire. With Jon Moxley on commentary, post-match tension led to Hechicero attacking Moxley, sparking a brawl involving all factions as the show ended.
