This January, AEW Collision returns to Arlington, Texas, and the Esports Stadium for the entire month of action. Previously, AEW held a summer\u2019s worth of events at the exact location in 2024. With some potential new feuds set up and others continuing after Worlds End, this week\u2019s edition of Dynamite New Year\u2019s Smash<\/a> can\u2019t contain everything.<\/p>\n

Nothing has been announced for the first new show of this residency, but check back for the latest updates. Instead, let\u2019s speculate on what we might get on this Saturday night in Texas.<\/p>\n

Speculation<\/p>\n

Eddie Kingston has made Collision his primary home since his return. On Zero Hour, we saw Kingston reunited with his friend and former tag partner, Ortiz. Kingston has been battling against The Grizzled Young Vets in singles action, but having an experienced tag partner to finish things might feature on the card.<\/p>\n

Along with the AEW World Tag Team Champions, FTR, Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler, and Big Stoke may be on hand to boil blood with their bragging. We\u2019ll see if they can contend and speak over the chants about Stokely\u2019s lack of hoes. Done with The Bang Bang Gang, switch team is next to step up and face them?<\/p>\n

AEW has several champions and championships. If there\u2019s not time to hear from all of them on Wednesday, there\u2019s plenty of room on Saturday night. Plus, depending on the results of the AEW TBS Championship and AEW National Championship matches, we might hear the first words of one or more new champions.<\/p>\n

Given that the first residency hosted the debut of Hologram, Tony Khan, with his attention to detail, may contrast this residency with the in-ring debut of El Clone. Known in Mexico as Arez, El Clone was a frequent rival and opponent of Aramis, now Hologram. Their series of matches in MLW in 2021 symbolically mirrored those of Rey Mysterio vs. Psicosis in ECW in 1995.<\/p>\n

Unlike their last trip to Arlington, these shows will be weekly rather than taped. It suggests AEW isn\u2019t going to take January easy or book in bulk. Can AEW overdeliver and help fans over the most depressing month of the year with some Saturday night joy? We\u2019ll soon see.<\/p>\n
