Tommaso Ciampa Set to Defend AEW National Title Against Mike Bailey on Combined Dynamite-Collision

Newly crowned AEW National Champion Tommaso Ciampa will make his first title defense on the special combined edition of AEW Dynamite and Collision on Wednesday, November 11.

Ciampa will put the title on the line against “Speedball” Mike Bailey following an in-ring confrontation between the two competitors over the weekend.

First-Time Singles Encounter Following Title Change

Ciampa captured the AEW National Championship from Andrade El Idolo on Saturday’s episode of Collision. Following the match, Bailey entered the ring to check on his United Empire teammate, leading to a face-to-face staredown with the new champion:

  • Singles Debut: While Ciampa and Bailey have shared the ring in tag team and multi-man matches, Wednesday’s broadcast marks their first-ever one-on-one match.
  • Championship Pursuit: The match gives Bailey another shot at his first singles title in AEW. Bailey has come up short in five previous title challenges in 2026 across the AEW World, TNT, International, and National Championships.

Updated Card for Combined Broadcast Ahead of Full Gear

The match joins a stacked lineup for the combined Dynamite and Collision episode as AEW completes its final build toward Saturday’s Full Gear pay-per-view:

  • Title Match Face-Off: Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher will engage in a face-to-face confrontation ahead of their championship match at Full Gear.
  • Tag Team Division: Brodido (Bandido and Brody King) take on New Level (Kofi and Austin Creed).
  • Mixed Tag Team Action: Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir team up to face Jay White and Mercedes Moné.
