AEW Collision Preview [4/26/25]: Start Time, Match Card, How To Watch & Live Stream

All Elite Wrestling is getting in on the NBA post season action. A special Playoff Palooza edition of AEW Collision will air Saturday night just as soon as Western Conference Playoff coverage concludes on TNT & Max.
FTR have a new attitude and a new agent in Stokely Hathaway. That legal representation may give Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler free rein to inflict as much pain and punishment on anyone them deem worthy. We've seen it with Cope, 2.0, Daniel Garcia and most recently the Rock N' Roll Express.
Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly of the Paragon took issue with the actions of FTR on Dynamite this week and they will face off against Dax and Cash in tonight's main event.
TOMORROW!
