Jon Moxley vs. Katsuyori Shibata
Before the match, Mox talks about his title defense against Swerve Strickland at AEW Dynasty 2025. He also brings up the return of The Young Bucks duo of Nicholas and Matthew Jackson. He tells them to be careful before with the decisions they make now that they’re back.
Inside the building, the theme for Mox plays and out comes The Death Riders leader accompanied by Marina Shafir. He settles inside the squared circle for his advertised non-title tilt against The Opps’ own Katsuyori Shibata.
The Japanese star makes his way out next and the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Mox slaps a side headlock on Shibata. Shibata struggles but ends up getting Mox down and controlling him with a head-scissors. They work their way back up and lock up again.
Mox takes Shibata down, but Shibata hits a switch and takes top position over the AEW champ. Shibata with a big slap across the chest and Moxley with a chop to the chest of his own and both men exchange chops.

Winner: Jon Moxley
The Young Bucks Call Out Jon Moxley, Get Kenny Omega Instead
Out come Matthew and Nicholas Jackson to the ring after the match. They are face to face with Marina but Moxley waves her away and they both leave the ring to the fans booing. The Young Bucks begin by telling the fans to congratulate Jon Moxley and to show love to the AEW Founding Fathers, the EVP’s. The fans boo and they tell them to “shut the f up”.
They say that they have a few reasons as to why they did what they did to Swerve. The first is that they did it for their good friend, Hangman Adam Page. They talk about how Page never wanted Swerve to be world champion and they love him.
The fans chant “Who’s house, Swerve’s house”. The EVP’s say that what they did was a peace offering to Moxley. They have no problem with him and hope that he has no problem with them. And while they were away, they realized they have things in common with him.
They want the guys in the back to step up, just like them. They want to change the world, just like them. And they are impressed because Moxley did what they couldn’t do. He succeeded in taking over AEW and even has the World title, they couldn’t do that. They talk about The Death Riders working with The Elite.
Jon Moxley, the World champion and the AEW founding fathers together. They ask Moxley to come back out with his boys to discuss business. Instead of Mox, however, the familiar sounds of Kenny Omega’s theme hits the house speakers. Out comes “The Cleaner.”
He talks about knowing The Bucks and mentions how maybe he’ll just come in the ring and kick their asses. As he goes to do exactly that, he is stopped when the familiar sounds of Kazuchika Okada’s entrance tune hits. Out comes “The Rainmaker,” but before he can do anything, Swerve Strickland’s music plays.
Swerve Strickland vs. PAC
Swerve hits the ring from behind and runs off the Bucks and Okada. He glares at them with a weapon in-hand as the commentators remind everyone that the Bucks cost Swerve his AEW World Championship match against champion Jon Moxley this past Sunday night in the main event of AEW Dynasty 2025.
Prince Nana leads fans in a loud “Who’s house?” / “Swerve’s House!” chant. Swerve and Omega lock eyes and Omega heads off to the back, leaving the ring to Strickland. He gets on the mic. Swerve pronounces tonight the start of Buck-hunting season. He’s ready to blast the EVPs.
As he continues talking, he is attacked from behind by “The Bastard” PAC. A referee runs in behind him. As order is restored, the show heads to a commercial break, with the scheduled Swerve vs. PAC match waiting on the other side when we return.
When the show returns, the match is ongoing in progress. Swerve takes over after the strong ambush-start from PAC. PAC ends up injuring his leg. He is on the floor outside of the ring being checked on by the doctor for several moments as Swerve paces back-and-forth in the ring. Eventually, PAC gets in the ring and eats a kick and Swerve Stomp from Strickland for the quick finish.
Winner: Swerve Strickland
Hangman Page, Prince Nana Have Words
Backstage, Renee Paquette is with “Hangman” Adam Page. He tells her he doesn’t know who he is facing but he has to do something. He enters Swerve’s locker room and asks Prince Nana where Swerve is at. He says at AEW Dynasty, he was not trying to help Swerve.
He says next week, if Swerve thinks of getting in the ring, he will pick up with him where he left off. Nana tells him that there is something he has been wanting to tell him for the last year.
He says Swerve knows nothing of this, and begins to mention feeling regret over something, only for Page to abruptly cut him off. He tells him not to say another word and walks off in a huff.
Backstage, Ricochet is with his teammates The Beast Mortos, Action Andretti and Lio Rush. He declares himself the captain of the team ahead of their eight-man $400,000 match, which is coming up next.
We then shoot to the opposing team of Mark Briscoe, Kevin Knight, Will Ospreay and “Speedball” Mike Bailey, who talk about what they’re going to spend their $100,000 each on if they win. We then head into another commercial break.
As the show returns, we learn that Jamie Hayter vs. Billie Starkz and Harley Cameron vs. Athena will take place in a pair of Owen Hart Cup women’s tournament matches on this week’s episode of AEW Collision.
The winner of the Cameron-Athena bout will advance to face Mercedes Mone in the next round of the Owen Hart Cup in a tourney tilt on the AEW Dynamite: Spring Break-Thru special themed event next week.

We Hear From The Hurt Syndicate
MVP hands Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin a bottle each and proposes a toast for another successful defense of the AEW World Tag Team Championship, but MJF’s music hits and he makes his way out.
MJF stands next to Benjamin, acting like part of The Hurt Syndicate as Lashley glares at him. He says this couldn’t have come at a better time considering Tony Khan wanted MJF to participate in the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament. He says he gets to cut the line now that he’s part of The Hurt Syndicate in order to get the AEW World Championship back, and now that he helped The Hurt Syndicate retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship, they get to help him.
Lashley tells MJF to shut up and says everyone saw what he did last weekend when he was the one to cut Big Bill in half and get the job done. Lashley and MJF begin to argue, but MVP and Benjamin break things up. MVP says if MJF wants to join The Hurt Syndicate, then he needs to get three thumbs up. MVP gives his thumbs up, but Benjamin puts his thumbs down.

He then goes on to announce that The Don Callis Family is accepting new members. He tells anyone interested to send in their applications and bank information. The brief backstage segment wraps up on that note.
TV Time With ‘The Learning Tree’ Chris Jericho
After a quick backstage promo from new TNT Champion Adam Cole and his fellow Undisputed Kingdom members Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong. He vows big things are coming for all three of them now that Cole is the new face of TNT.
Inside the arena, we hear the familiar sounds of Chris Jericho’s theme music. Out comes “The Learning Tree” for his advertised installment of his “TV Time” in-ring talk show segment. He points out the obvious, which is that he no longer holds the ROH World Championship.
Big Bill and Bryan Keith are called out by Jericho. Bill tells Jericho he joined The Learning Tree to learn from Jericho. He says he didn’t join to be blamed by Jericho every time something goes wrong. He says if he’s got advice, he wants to hear it, but if he’s out here to blame them, he doesn’t want to hear it. He says Keith doesn’t either.
Jericho goes on to talk about how he lost the ROH World Championship at AEW Dynasty 2025 this past Sunday, and Bill and Keith weren’t there. He says some could say he lost the title because of them. He goes on to say he’s not mad, he’s just disappointed.
He repeats “I’m disappointed” as he goes on a rage, smashing his TV Time set with Floyd the baseball bat. He even lets out an F-bomb as he yells “I’m dis-a-f**kin’-pointed!” The commentators apologize for his language. He storms off by himself.
MJF Asks MVP Why He’s Being Treated Like A B*tch
Backstage, we see The Hurt Syndicate being interviewed, when in walks MJF. He tells the interviewer to take a hike. He asks MVP if he looks like a female dog. MVP asks him what his point is. MJF says he keeps being treated like a b*tch but he is MJF.
MVP tells him that’s the problem, they know who he is. And this is business and in business, you find your consumer, you find out what they want and you give it to them. He suggests MJF try that if he wants different results.
We shoot to the parking lot, where we see Chris Jericho walking by himself with Floyd the baseball bat still in his hands. He stops and smashes some stuff laying on a production crate before hopping into his ride and angrily driving off into the night.
Samoa Joe & HOOK vs. Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta
Back inside the arena, the commentators switch focus to our scheduled main event, which is a tag-team tilt pitting The Opps duo of Samoa Joe and HOOK against The Death Riders team of Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta. After each team makes their respective entrances, the bell sounds and off we go.
Yuta and Joe kick things off for their respective teams coming out of the gate. Yuta rolls to the outside of the ring, gets back in and tags Claudio into the match. Claudio with an uppercut but Joe with a chop to the chest followed by jabs. He throws Claudio into the corner and HOOK is tagged in.

Right hands by HOOK and Yuta is thrown onto the ring apron. Yuta to the outside and he grabs HOOK by the legs but HOOK kicks him away. On that note, the show heads into the final mid-match commercial break of the evening. When the show returns, we see The Death Riders take over.
Yuta rakes the eyes to keep his offensive lead. AEW World Champion and fellow member of The Death Riders, Jon Moxley, is standing guard at ringside with a steel chair in-hand. Out of nowhere, Katsuyori Shibata of The Opps attacks him from behind and chokes him out. As he does, HOOK chokes out Yuta in the ring for the win.
Winners: Samoa Joe & HOOK
Once the match wraps up, the camera keeps cutting back to show Mox being choked still by Shibata. Marina Shafir hits the ring with a steel chair and leads Castagnoli and Yuta in a post-match attack on HOOK. They hit a spiked piledriver to HOOK on a chair. Joe eventually hits the ring with a chair of his own to run them off.
Joe glares at The Death Riders as they flee through the crowd. Joe gets on the microphone. He calls The Death Riders a bunch of b*tches. He says The Opps came to fight and takes another shot at The Death Riders that has to be bleeped off the air due to vulgar language.
Joe issues a challenge from The Opps to The Death Riders, and makes it clear that they’ve got their sights set on the AEW Trios Championships. Fans chant “Joe! Joe! Joe!” as he helps HOOK back up. Joe, HOOK and Shibata stand tall in the ring as Excalibur does a speed-read through the lineup for Saturday’s AEW Collision. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!

4/9 AEW Dynamite Preview
Tonight’s episode promises high-stakes tournament action, fallout from AEW Dynasty, and the return of some major names to in-ring competition.
Women’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament Continues
The Women’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament rolls on as former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa faces Kris Statlander in a quarterfinal bout. Current AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm will be on commentary to scout the action closely. Mercedes Moné, the reigning TBS Champion, already punched her ticket to the semifinals at AEW Dynasty by defeating Julia Hart in a non-title quarterfinal match.
PAC Returns to Singles Action
For the first time since AEW Dynasty, PAC returns to singles competition tonight when he goes head-to-head with Swerve Strickland. The rivalry between Death Riders and The Opps has escalated rapidly, and tonight could be another explosive chapter.
Tag Team Collision: Death Riders vs. The Opps
In tag team action, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli will represent the Death Riders as they take on Samoa Joe and HOOK of The Opps. The teams clashed at Dynasty, where PAC, Castagnoli, and Yuta successfully defended the AEW World Trios Championships against Cope and FTR. The match ended in chaos, with Samoa Joe, HOOK, and Katsuyori Shibata intervening to support “Hangman” Adam Page after the Death Riders ambushed him during the AEW World Championship main event.
That title match saw Swerve Strickland fail to reclaim the AEW World Championship from Jon Moxley. The Young Bucks made a surprise appearance during the final moments of the contest, playing a key role in Moxley’s successful defense.
