Tommaso Ciampa's whirlwind week continued on Collision when he made his AEW in-ring debut and won the TNT Championship, mere days after his WWE contract expired.

The Psycho Killer's history with Mark Briscoe dates back to their shared time in ROH. Their last match was over 12 years ago, and AEW shared clips from the encounter throughout the day on social media.

As for their 2026 clash, the crowd in the Esports Stadium in Arlington, TX was invested in the match from beginning to end. The meeting was a gritty, hard-hitting affairs that included several jaw-dropping spots, including Briscoe jumping off the top turnbuckle to hit Ciampa with a Froggy Bow through a table on the outside of the ring.

At times, it seemed like the match would end in a draw. The clock got down to the wire as the 20-minute time limit approached. Ciampa and Briscoe were so well-matched as opponents and wrestled as if no time had passed at all, refusing to give the other man the upper hand.

A little after the 18-minute mark, before time elapsed, Ciampa found an opening to hit the running knee he had been looking for throughout the match and pinned Briscoe to become TNT Champion.

With the win, Ciampa joined Mercedes Moné as the only people to win championships in their AEW in-ring debuts. After the match, Kyle Fletcher walked out on the ramp to ensure that Ciampa is aware that he's still interested in regaining the TNT Championship. Clearly overcome with emotion, Ciampa was joined by his wife and daughter backstage to celebrate his win and thank AEW fans for accepting him so warmly.

Darby Allin defeated Clark Connors. The action began before the bell rang when Connors attacked Darby during his entrance. From there, the violence continued to spin out of control as Clark Connors used his power advantage to put Allin through extreme duress. Nevertheless, Allin's relentless spirit endured, and he forced Connors to tap out to the Scorpion Deathlock.

After the match, Darby Allin addressed the crowd and said he won the war against the Death Riders and stood on top of Mount Everest in 2025, and plans to stand on top of AEW in 2026. Before he could formally share his intentions to add his name to the list of men eager to win the AEW World Championship. Before he had the opportunity, he was attacked by Gabe Kidd, wearing a black hoodie.

Kidd said he was on personal business rather than Death Riders' business, seeking revenge for his Worlds End loss to Allin. Kidd and Connors, his Unbound Company factionmate in NJPW, proceeded to keep attacking Allin relentlessly on the steel steps outside the ring.

JetSpeed (and Jetset Rodeo) are taking on all comers. AEW World Trios Champions Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey spoke in a promo backstage about being ready to take on all challengers as a tag team, especially from the Don Callis Family. They also reiterated that they have "Hangman" Adam Page's back, and as a trio, they'll now be referred to as "Jetset Rodeo".

The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz) defeated CRU. Accompanied by Myron Reed, Xavier and Wentz made their in-ring AEW debut against CRU, who had promised to give them an unforgettable welcome to AEW. The match was an exhibition of two of the tag division's most athletic and explosive teams to watch. Lio Rush and Action Andretti gave The Rascalz a strong fight, but Wentz pinned Andretti after nailing him with their finisher, the Hot Fire Flame.

Later in the night, Lexy Nair caught up with The Rascalz backstage while they celebrated their win. Eddie Kingston interrupted to announce that The Rascalz would be joining him and Ortiz next week for an 8-man Parking Lot Brawl versus Grizzled Young Veterans, Big Bill, and Bryan Keith.

In his first AEW match of 2026, Okada decided that his opponent wasn't worthy of looking at the International Championship, opting to hide the title in a black AEW-branded bag.
