Jon Moxley had been out of action due to a concussion sustained at AEW Grand Slam, making a highly anticipated return to AEW on Saturday’s episode of Collision.
In the Collision’s main event, Blackpool Combat Club’s Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta took on Ricky Starks and Big Bill, vying for the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
The BCC came perilously close to usurping Starks and Bill. However, their moment of triumph was marred by an untimely intrusion by the House of Black, which turned the tide of the match. This disruption allowed Starks to secure a pin on Yuta, ensuring the retention of their titles.
Post-match, the onslaught persisted, leading Bryan Danielson to emerge in defense of the BCC. Despite his efforts, the numbers were against them when FTR entered the fray.
In a climactic moment, Moxley made his triumphant return, coming to the aid of the BCC as the broadcast concluded.
Subsequently, during Battle of the Belts VIII, Orange Cassidy appeared for his AEW International Title defense, where an unexpected clash with Moxley unfolded.
