This and more as we delve into the top stories emerging from the Jacksonville-based promotion. So without further ado, let's get to it.

#4. Alex Windsor has lost all respect for Mercedes Mone

Mercedes Mone retained her TBS Championship at Forbidden Door 2025 in London, defeating Alex Windsor, Persephone, and Bozilla in a Four-Way contest. The CEO secured the victory with a roll-up pin and appeared on this week's Dynamite to discuss her victory and her ongoing quest to collect more championships across promotions.

During the segment, she acknowledged Alex Windsor for pushing her to her limit in the match at the O2 arena. Still, she escalated tensions by threatening to send Windsor to the hospital right next to her real-life partner, Will Ospreay, who has been dealing with a neck injury.

Alex Windsor broke her silence on Collision following a swift singles victory. In the post-match interview with Tony Schiavone, Windsor stated that she had lost all respect for Mone after her comments regarding Ospreay.

She then challenged the reigning TBS Champion to a singles match, which has been confirmed to take place during AEW's residency in Philadelphia. The rivalry is now positioned as one of the focal storylines of the company's women's division.

#3. Bandido makes a pitch for Buddy Matthews upon AEW return

Buddy Matthews, a former AEW World Trios Champion, has been sidelined since February with an ankle injury sustained during his match against Kazuchika Okada at Grand Slam Australia.

In his absence, Brody King joined forces with Bandido to form a new tag team called Brodido. The duo captured the AEW World Tag Team Championship at Forbidden Door 2025, marking a major shift in the faction's direction without Matthews.

In a recent interview with WrestleZone, Bandido shared a pitch for Matthews' eventual return.

“A lot of people are asking Brody about Buddy [Matthews]. So if Brody and Buddy are already aligned, I can adjust my style to them. I got the two giants [by my side] and ‘The Most Wanted’ Bandido, that would be amazing for me,” Bandido said. [H/T: WrestleZone]

The titantron displayed an algorithm with a coded sequence, followed by the words "Clon Activated." Moments later, a masked figure resembling a darker version of Hologram appeared on screen, accompanied by the word "Soon." The incident left Hologram visibly unsettled.

Meanwhile, Hologram is undefeated in both singles and multi-man matches since his debut, including a recent tag team victory at ROH Death Before Dishonor alongside Tomohiro Ishii.
