This week’s AEW Collision featured the fall of a top champion in the Jacksonville-based promotion. The show was taped following this week’s Dynamite in Smart Financial Centre at Sugar Land in Sugar Land, Texas.
It had the semi-finals of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup tournament between Maya World and Athena. World had the immense support of the AEW fans due to her rough patch in her personal life. Meanwhile, Minion Overlord was coming in with an epic winning streak since February. Her last defeat was at the hands of Syuri on February 27 at NJPW The New Beginning USA.
According to spoilers from PWInsider, Maya World defeated Athena to punch her ticket to the finals of the tournament. It marked the first defeat for the former WWE star in the past four months. The Fallen Goddess has been reigning as the ROH Women’s World Champion for more than 1000-days. Therefore, it is a big loss for Athena and an even bigger win for Maya.
With that, Maya World will now face Mercedes Mone at Forbidden Door 2026 in the finals of the tournament. She has a real shot to get an AEW Women’s World Championship match at All In in London this year.
