The final stop for AEW ahead of the Double or Nothing PPV event on Sunday night came in the form of a special Thursday night edition of AEW Collision. The show featured multiple matches with talent that have matches on the Double or Nothing show and various angles that pushed Double or Nothing storylines along.

The show began with a contract signing for the FTR vs. Nigel McGuinness & Daniel Garcia match that is scheduled to take place at Double or Nothing. Both teams signed the contract to make the match official, but Nigel told FTR that no matter what happens -- win, lose, or draw -- FTR cannot touch, talk to, or look at him or Tony Schiavone again.

After the match was over, Bailey and Okada had a brief encounter in the ring. Okada flipped Bailey the bird and Bailey responded with a roundhouse kick. This gave Bailey the upper hand going into the match over the weekend.
