AEW Collision To Air Live From Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager At Sea Cruise

AEW is taking Collision to the high seas later this year.

Chris Jericho announced during an appearance on TMZ’s Inside the Ring that AEW will present a live episode of Collision from his Rock ’N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise on November 7. The broadcast will take place aboard the Norwegian Jewel and marks the first time AEW has aired a live television event from the annual cruise.

The ship will be docked in Miami during the live broadcast before departing for Bimini in the Bahamas. This year’s cruise runs from November 7 through November 11.

AEW previously taped an episode of Dynamite during the cruise in 2020, but Jericho noted that producing a live broadcast from the ship is a much bigger undertaking.

According to Jericho, the wrestlers scheduled to appear on that week’s edition of Collision will already be aboard the vessel, giving AEW the opportunity to present what he described as one of the strongest lineups ever assembled for the cruise.

“We are for the first time ever doing a live episode of AEW Collision from the boat itself. Saturday, November 7th, Collision will be live from Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea.”

Jericho added that fans on board will not only get a live AEW television event but also access to a large portion of the company’s roster before some talent depart following the broadcast.

Cruise Features Wrestling Legends, Live Entertainment, And More

The currently announced cruise lineup includes Kofi, Austin Creed, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Ted DiBiase, Carlito, Shotzi Blackheart, and Harley Cameron.

Beyond wrestling, the event will feature performances from Fozzy, comedian Brad Williams, live podcasts, paranormal experiences, MicroMania events, and the annual men’s and women’s Oceanic Championship tournaments.

PAC To Be Honored During The Cruise

Jericho also revealed that this year’s cruise will be dedicated to PAC, whose real name was Benjamin Satterley.

The former AEW star passed away on September 27 at the age of 40. His official cause of death has not yet been determined, with additional testing still pending.

PAC previously appeared on one of Jericho’s cruises and competed against Jon Moxley during the event. Jericho said the cruise will include a tribute to honor his memory.

“We’re gonna dedicate this cruise to PAC and to Ben Satterley. You’ve got to pay tribute to the fallen brothers and sisters, especially the ones that came on the cruise. We’ll figure out something just to make sure that everybody remembers the man that was PAC.”

The special edition of AEW Collision will air live on November 7 from the Norwegian Jewel as part of the seventh annual Rock ’N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea.

Matt Hardy Teases TNA’s Syx Faction Could Expand Beyond Current Members

TNA Wrestling’s mysterious Syx faction may not be finished growing.

While the group currently consists of Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw, recent comments from Matt Hardy suggest that additional members could eventually be added as the storyline continues to unfold.

Speaking on a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Hardy discussed the arrival of Sawyer and Shaw in TNA following their time in WWE. He praised both performers for bringing name recognition and credibility to the promotion while also carrying forward elements of the supernatural presentation that made Bray Wyatt’s creative projects so memorable.

Hardy was particularly complimentary of Sawyer, describing him as a versatile performer capable of excelling in multiple wrestling styles.

The conversation eventually shifted to speculation about whether Bo Dallas could join the faction in the future. While Hardy did not confirm any plans involving Dallas, he hinted that the group’s name itself may provide a clue about where the angle is heading.

Hardy pointed out that the faction is called “Syx,” questioning why TNA would choose that name if the intention was only to feature two members rather than six.

The comment has fueled speculation that TNA could be planning to expand the group in the months ahead. Whether that includes Dallas or other former members associated with WWE’s Wyatt Sicks remains unclear, as Hardy stopped short of naming any potential additions.

For now, Syx remains one of TNA’s most intriguing developing storylines. However, Hardy’s remarks suggest the current lineup may only be the beginning, with more members potentially waiting in the wings as the faction evolves.

Bryan Danielson Came Out Of Retirement To Honor PAC On AEW Dynamite: A Tribute to PAC

One of the most memorable and emotional moments in AEW history took place on this week’s special edition of AEW Dynamite: A Tribute to PAC, as Bryan Danielson made a surprise return to honor the late Benjamin Satterley, known to wrestling fans around the world as PAC.

The night opened with Jon Moxley successfully defending the AEW Continental Championship against Orange Cassidy. Following the match, the arena paused for a ten-bell salute in remembrance of PAC, creating an emotional atmosphere throughout the building.

As fans reflected on the tribute, the mood shifted even further when Danielson’s music hit and the former AEW World Champion made his way to the ring. Clearly overcome with emotion, Danielson walked to the ring in tears before sharing a heartfelt embrace with Moxley at center ring.

The moment marked a significant reunion between the two longtime allies and served as a powerful show of respect for PAC’s legacy and impact on the wrestling industry.

Danielson’s appearance was particularly noteworthy because it represented a temporary return from retirement. After stepping away from full-time competition following WrestleDream 2024, “The American Dragon” had not competed on AEW television in nearly two years.

In the main event, 8-Man Tag Match: Death Riders vs. Don Callis Family. Wardlow makes his return to action alongside Mark Davis, Lance Archer, Josh Alexander and Jake Doyle. The Death Riders represented by Daniel Garcia, Gabe Kidd, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli. The group gathers around the chair set up in honor of PAC before making its way through the crowd and toward the ring. Jon Moxley joins the commentary team as the Death Riders initially enter the match with only four competitors.

The Death Riders’ entrance music hits again, revealing Bryan Danielson as the fifth member of the team for the main event.

The Death Riders won the match.

Following the match, the Death Riders come together and embrace in the ring as the broadcast reflects on the life and career of Benjamin Satterley, known to wrestling fans as PAC.

A video package celebrating PAC’s life and career airs before the broadcast returns for one final shot of the chair and towel set up in his honor.

For many viewers, Danielson’s return and his emotional interaction with Moxley became one of the defining moments of the tribute show, highlighting the respect and admiration that PAC earned from his peers throughout his career.

While Danielson’s long-term in-ring future remains unclear, his return on this special night provided a fitting tribute to one of AEW’s most respected performers.

Tony Schiavone Offers Encouraging Update On Steven Borden Following AEW All Out Injury

Steven Borden appears to be making positive progress following the frightening injury he suffered during his AEW pay-per-view debut at All Out.

The son of wrestling legend Sting was involved in a scary accident during the event when an attempted Coast-to-Coast dive resulted in a collision with Kevin Knight. The impact caused Borden to land awkwardly on his back before his head struck the mat, bringing the match to an abrupt end.

Officials stopped the contest after determining Borden could not safely continue, awarding the victory to Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher. He was immediately taken to a local hospital for evaluation, with updates throughout the night indicating that his condition was stable.

AEW President Tony Khan later addressed the situation during the post-show media scrum, noting that medical testing produced encouraging results and that Borden was expected to return home the following day.

Now, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone has shared another promising update.

Speaking on a recent episode of the What Happened When? podcast, Schiavone revealed that he recently spoke with Borden and came away feeling optimistic about his condition. According to Schiavone, Borden reported that he has not experienced headaches or dizziness since the incident.

While Schiavone stressed that any official medical diagnosis or clearance would need to come from AEW’s doctors, he said Borden personally told him that he feels fine.

The veteran commentator also shared that Borden reflected on his football career at the University of Kentucky, noting that he had never previously dealt with a concussion or a similar situation. Schiavone added that Borden was concerned the incident may have negatively impacted the pay-per-view, but he reassured him that fans were primarily relieved to hear that he was okay.

As for a return to the ring, no timetable has been announced. Schiavone acknowledged that Borden will likely need to undergo additional medical evaluations before being cleared for competition and described the incident as a very frightening moment for everyone involved.

For now, the latest reports suggest that Borden’s recovery is moving in the right direction, although AEW has yet to provide an official update regarding his wrestling future.

Report: WWE Preparing For Naomi’s Return Following Jaida Parker Joining 946

Naomi’s WWE return may finally be drawing closer.

The former Women’s World Champion has been away from WWE television for more than a year following her pregnancy and the birth of her first child with Jimmy Uso. While fans have continued to speculate about when she might return, a new report suggests WWE is actively preparing for her comeback.

According to False Finish, WWE is currently making plans for Naomi to return to television in the near future. No timetable or creative plans were revealed, but the report indicates that her lengthy absence could soon be coming to an end.

“WWE is currently preparing for a Naomi return in the near future.”

While nothing has been confirmed regarding where Naomi would fit into current storylines, one possibility could be WWE’s ongoing feud involving The Bloodline and 946.

Jaida Parker Joins 946 On WWE RAW

The latest development in that storyline came during Monday night’s episode of WWE RAW, which featured a surprise appearance by Jaida Parker.

Early in the show, cameras showed a vehicle arriving backstage. Believing members of 946 had arrived at the arena, Jacob Fatu and The Usos rushed to intercept them.

Instead, Jaida Parker stepped out of the vehicle and claimed she was simply there to meet with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce before walking away.

That explanation turned out to be misleading.

During the closing moments of RAW, Parker was revealed as the person driving the vehicle that struck Fatu in the arena parking garage. After initially suggesting the incident was an accident, she made her allegiance clear by repeating 946’s signature phrase:

“Ain’t nobody safe!”

Parker previously aligned with Bronco Nima and Lucien Price as part of the Out The Mud faction in NXT before quietly moving away from the group in late 2024.

Naomi’s potential involvement at this time is just speculation, but would make sense given her long-standing connection to The Bloodline. She is married to Jimmy Uso in real life and has frequently been associated with the Anoa’i wrestling family throughout her WWE career. While she has rarely been directly involved in Bloodline storylines, her ties to Jimmy, Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa, and other members of the family could make her a natural fit if WWE decides to incorporate her into the ongoing rivalry between The Bloodline and 946.

New Details Emerge Following Death Of AEW Star PAC

Additional information has surfaced regarding the death of AEW star PAC (Benjamin Satterley), who passed away on September 27 at the age of 40.

News of Satterley’s death became public later that evening when AEW announced his passing on social media. The announcement came less than 24 hours after PAC competed at AEW All Out 2026, where he wrestled Andrade El Idolo for the AEW National Championship and later appeared during the show’s main event.

The sudden loss of the former AEW champion and ex-WWE star sent shockwaves through the wrestling industry, with fans and fellow wrestlers mourning one of the most respected performers of his generation. While many questions remain unanswered, new reports have shed some light on the circumstances surrounding his passing.

According to TMZ, Satterley was found unresponsive inside a vehicle outside a CAVA restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois. The report, which cited emergency dispatch audio first obtained by the New York Post, stated that restaurant patrons called 911 after noticing someone who appeared to be unconscious inside the car.

Witnesses reportedly searched for medical equipment inside the restaurant in an effort to help before emergency responders arrived at the scene.

A spokesperson for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office told the New York Post that Satterley was pronounced dead at 4:08 p.m. local time. TMZ further reported that an autopsy has been completed, but additional testing is required before an official cause and manner of death can be determined. The process could take several weeks.

Russell Lissau of the Daily Herald also reported that a spokesperson for the Medical Examiner’s Office said there were “no indications of foul play or trauma” and that the death did not appear suspicious.

PAC May Have Been Traveling To Andy Williams Memorial

During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discussed the possibility that PAC may have been traveling to a public memorial service for Andy Williams, the Every Time I Die guitarist who passed away earlier this year.

Alvarez noted that news of PAC’s death began spreading while the memorial service was taking place.

“The point is when the word got out that he had passed away, it was during Andy Williams memorial. So the people were finding about, they were finding out about it at the memorial service for Andy Williams,” Alvarez said.

Meltzer emphasized that he could not confirm PAC’s destination but said people who knew him believed he may have been on his way to the event.

“Yeah, I don’t know this, but there were people who knew him that thought that that’s what he was doing,” Meltzer said.

He added that PAC had already attended a previous memorial service for Williams and was known to be very close with him.

“He was very close with Andy Williams. And as you could tell from the Andy Williams tribute show, PAC, there were a lot of very moving tributes and his was one of them. They were very, very close.”

PAC Wrestled At AEW All Out One Day Earlier

PAC’s final match took place at AEW All Out 2026, where he challenged Andrade El Idolo for the AEW National Championship. He later appeared during the AEW World Championship main event involving Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay.

At this time, no official cause of death has been announced. Further information is expected once the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office completes its investigation.

WrestlingNewsBlog.com extends its continued condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Benjamin Satterley.
