AEW Collision: Slam Dunk Sunday – March 23, 2025, Omaha, NE – A Night of High Stakes and Intense Rivalries

March 23, 2025, was a night that AEW fans won’t forget anytime soon. As Slam Dunk Sunday hit Omaha, NE, from the Liberty First Credit Union Arena, AEW Collision took centre stage with a powerhouse lineup. Broadcast live on TNT and streaming on MAX, the night was loaded with action-packed matches, intense rivalries, and unexpected twists. Hosted by the dynamic duo Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness, the event had fans on the edge of their seats throughout.

With the stakes high in every contest, Slam Dunk Sunday didn’t just meet expectations; it blew them out of the water. The World Trios Championship match alone had enough drama to fuel a season of wrestling. But it wasn’t just the major title bouts that caught the crowd’s attention; Bandido’s fiery challenge to Chris Jericho, and a surprise twist during a heated women’s match kept the excitement at a fever pitch.

World Trios Championship Match: The Death Riders vs. Top Flight & AR Fox

The opening match of the evening set the tone for the night. The Death Riders—Claudio Castagnoli, “The Bastard” PAC, and Wheeler Yuta—defended their World Trios Championship against the exciting duo Top Flight (Dante and Darius Martin) and the high-flyer AR Fox.

From the moment the bell rang, the match was filled with energy. Yuta and Darius Martin exchanged fierce holds, but it was Claudio Castagnoli’s raw power that gave the Death Riders the edge early on. AR Fox dazzled with his signature aerial moves, but the Death Riders maintained control, showcasing their dominant teamwork.

The high points of the match came when Fox executed a breathtaking flip onto Yuta, and Dante’s aerial assault from the top nearly secured a victory for his team. But in the end, it was the Death Riders’ overwhelming force that proved decisive. With a combination of fast-paced offense and brutal strikes, Wheeler Yuta secured the pin for his team, retaining the titles.

The aftermath of the match was just as intense. The Cru—Action Andretti and Lio Rush—ambushed Top Flight, leaving both Dante and Darius Martin lying in the ring. The tag team division just got even more intense.

Johnny TV vs. Bandido: A Fight for Honor

Next up, it was Johnny TV vs. “The Most Wanted” Bandido in a match that had far-reaching implications. Johnny TV, known for his sneak attacks, caught Bandido off guard at the start, but the high-flying Bandido quickly turned the tables with his explosive offense. Bandido’s athleticism was on full display, from flying forearms to a jaw-dropping press slam.

However, it wasn’t just Johnny TV’s fists that were a problem—it was his eyes. After poking Bandido in the eyes, Johnny TV managed to land a few cheap shots, but Bandido refused to stay down. With a knee strike and a decisive 21-plex, Bandido took the win.

But the drama didn’t stop there. ROH World Champion Chris Jericho appeared, accompanied by Big Bill and Bryan Keith, and taunted Bandido with Gravity’s mask. Jericho’s arrogant speech about teaching Bandido a “Learning Tree lesson” took a dark turn when he wore Gravity’s mask. What followed was pure chaos as Bandido tore the mask off Jericho’s face, sending the fans into a frenzy. This rivalry is far from over, and the story is bound to get even more intense.

Harley Cameron vs. Amina Belmont: Streak on the Line

Harley Cameron has been making waves in AEW, and her match against Amina Belmont was another showcase of her incredible talent. After a quick exchange of moves, Harley’s powerhouse offense, including a pump handle slam and her finishing move, secured a decisive victory. With this win, Harley extended her winning streak, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with in AEW.

Cameron’s personality shone through even in the commentary booth, adding a fun, lighthearted energy to the match. As Harley prepared for her next challenge, it became clear that she’s not just here to compete—she’s here to dominate.

Los Titanes Del Aire vs. LFI: A High-Flying Extravaganza

The excitement hit new heights during the match between Los Titanes Del Aire (Hologram and ROH World TV Champion Komander) and LFI’s Dralistico and Beast Mortos. This match was a spectacular showcase of lucha libre-inspired athleticism, with jaw-dropping moves and quick reversals.

Komander and Dralistico engaged in a fast-paced exchange of chops, high-flying moves, and technical wrestling. The Beast Mortos added his brute strength to the mix, making this a clash of styles and a true test of endurance. The audience was treated to an avalanche poison rana from Komander and a stunning tope suicida from Hologram.

But the real twist came when Harley Cameron reappeared, joining the commentary team before rushing to the ring to support her fellow wrestlers. Her timing was impeccable, as she helped turn the tide in favor of Los Titanes Del Aire. The match ended in thrilling fashion, with Komander’s top-rope splash securing the victory.
