AEW Collision Notes: Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk Confirmed for All In, Miro vs. Powerhouse Hobbs Announced for All Out

“Real” AEW World Title Match Announced for AEW All In, Updated Card

Saturday’s AEW Collision show in Lexington, Kentucky featured one new match officially announced for the card of AEW’s All In event at Wembley Stadium in London, England.

This new match announced is a “Real AEW World Championship match of Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk (c).

This match was initially setup over the past two week’s of Collision shows involving Joe calling out Punk for another match between the two at AEW’s All In event. During last week’s Collision show, Joe called out Punk again and said if he did not get an answer, he would make Punk pay for the disrespect given to him. This led to Joe coming out during the main event Trios match between CMFTR and Bullet Club Gold and choked out Punk in the crowd while the referee was distracted.

During tonight’s Collision show, Joe came out for his scheduled match against a mysterious wrestler named the Golden Vampire. Before Joe was able to get into the ring, Golden Vampire attacked Joe and laid him out with a Go To Sleep. The Golden Vampire then grabbed a mic and unmasked himself revealing himself to be CM Punk. Punk stated that he accepted Joe’s challenge for a match at All In and walked off.

It’s official!#ROH World TV Champion @SamoaJoe vs @CMPunk for the #RealWorldChampionship at #AEWAllIn!

LIVE on PPV Sunday, August 27, from @wembleystadium in London!

Miro vs. Powerhouse Hobbs Announced for All Out 2023

Saturday’s Collision show in Lexington also featured one new match officially announced for AEW’s All Out 2023 event on September 3rd at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

This is a singles match of Miro vs. Powerhouse Hobbs.

This match was initially setup during last week’s Collision show after Hobbs stated that he was bringing back his Book of Hobbs beatings and issued a challenge to Miro for a match at All Out 2023, which Miro did not respond to.

Following Hobbs’ victory over Kevin Hu on tonight’s Collision show, Hobbs launched a post-match attack and gave a Camel Clutch to Hu as a message to Miro. Miro then appeared on the giant video screen and spoke about how they are both similar but unlike Hobbs, he no longer follows a book and instead walks alone now. After some more words, Miro stated that redemption would be coming to Hobbs at All Out 2023 and claimed that he would piss on his cold, dead body afterwards.

"I am godless, but I know you are not because you pray to me now!"

Miro has sent a haunting message to Powerhouse Hobbs!
