AEW's Friday night programming featured a unique lineup, beginning with a special episode of Collision followed by Rampage. The main event of Collision showcased an eight-man tag match, pitting Bryan Danielson, PAC, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta against the Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada, and Jack Perry, marking the first time all male champions participated in such a match. The event also included qualifying bouts for a four-way title defense at Saturday's All Out, featuring contenders like Orange Cassidy and Mark Briscoe. Rampage aired immediately after, continuing the action although lacking any prior announced matches. Commentary was provided by Nigel McGuinness and Tony Schiavone from Hoffman Estates, Illinois, as they covered the intense matchups, particularly focusing on the exchanges between Okada and his opponents. Fans were left eagerly anticipating the outcomes heading into the All Out event.
