Nick Wayne Wins First AEW Collision Match in 364 Days

AEW wrestler Nick Wayne secured his first victory on the Collision program after a year‑long stretch without a win. On the July 25 episode, the 21‑year‑old defeated AR Fox, earning a spot in the six‑man ladder match that will determine the next International Championship contender at the Redemption 2026 pay‑per‑view.

Former TNT Champion Adam Cole reappeared on social media after more than a year of absence, participating in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to support fellow wrestler Rebel, who is battling ALS. Cole had withdrawn from in‑ring competition following health concerns, including multiple concussions, and has not been featured in AEW events since the All In Texas show. His future in wrestling remains uncertain.
