AEW’s Three‑Hour Dynamite/Collision Go‑Home Show Previews Double‑or‑Nothing

On May 20, 2026 AEW aired a combined three‑hour special of Dynamite and Collision from the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine. The broadcast served as the final “go‑home” episode before the Double or Nothing pay‑per‑view on May 24.

Key matches included Darby Allin defending the AEW World Championship against “Speedball” Mike Bailey, a bout that determines the challenger for MJF at Double or Nothing. The AEW Tag Team titles were contested by champions FTR versus The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong). Jon Moxley faced Kyle O'Reilly in a Continental Championship eliminator that ended in a time‑limit draw, granting O'Reilly a future title shot. Other highlights were an Anything‑Goes match between Mark Briscoe and Tommaso Ciampa, a trios showdown featuring Chris Jericho and The Young Bucks against Ricochet, Andrade El Idolo and Mark Davis, and a five‑minute women’s tag team eliminator with Divine Dominion defending their titles.

Willow Nightingale announced a shoulder injury that forced her to vacate the TBS Championship and withdraw from the Owen Hart Cup. Swerve Strickland made a return to AEW programming. The event built momentum for Double or Nothing in Flushing, New York, setting multiple storylines and title pictures for the upcoming pay‑per‑view.
