AEW is adding a unique twist to its Collision lineup next month with the announcement of a themed special titled “Fairway To Hell.”
The company confirmed that AEW Collision: Fairway To Hell will take place live on Saturday, May 9 from the SoFi Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. The venue itself is a notable choice, described as a high-tech indoor golf facility—hinting that AEW is going all-in on the golf-inspired concept.
According to the official announcement, early access premium seating will be available shortly, with general ticket sales opening on April 13. Fans can also register through AEW’s ticketing site for presale opportunities.
The “Fairway To Hell” branding has actually been in the works for some time. AEW filed to trademark the name back in June 2024, and Tony Khan later spoke about the idea as part of a larger concept. At the time, Khan pitched a charity golf event—potentially titled “Fairway to Heaven”—featuring wrestlers, athletes, and celebrities, followed by a themed episode of Dynamite or Collision under the “Fairway to Hell” banner.
It looks like that vision is now becoming reality. Reports indicate that AEW plans to incorporate golfers and social media influencers into the event, blending wrestling with a crossover sports-entertainment feel.
With Collision continuing to experiment with themed shows, Fairway To Hell could end up being one of the more unique presentations AEW has produced—especially given the unconventional setting. Fans will be watching closely to see how the company mixes in-ring action with the golf-themed atmosphere.
As reported by the @MiamiHerald, AEW is heading to West Palm Beach in Florida for #AEWCollision: Fairway to Hell LIVE from the SoFi Center on Saturday, May 9!

Hikaru Shida is officially back in All Elite Wrestling—and she didn’t waste any time stepping into a high-stakes situation.
On the special Thursday edition of AEW Collision, the former three-time AEW Women’s Champion made her long-awaited return by answering an open challenge issued by reigning TBS Champion Willow Nightingale. With Nightingale calling out the best competition AEW has to offer, Shida emerged as a fitting—and surprising—response after more than a year away from AEW action.
The match itself delivered down the stretch, with Shida nearly reclaiming championship gold in dramatic fashion. After avoiding Nightingale’s top-rope moonsault, Shida connected with a running knee that almost sealed the deal. She followed up with a second knee strike moments later, but Nightingale showed resilience by kicking out again. In a sudden twist, the champion caught Shida off guard with a backslide pin to retain her title.
Tensions teased boiling over after the match. Shida grabbed her signature kendo stick and appeared ready to attack Nightingale from behind, but ultimately thought better of it and dropped the weapon. Nightingale responded with a respectful thumbs-up, signaling mutual respect despite the heated battle.
This marked Shida’s first AEW match since November 2024, when she faced Kris Statlander on Dynamite. Her absence was largely due to visa complications, which were resolved in October 2025. Around that same time, Shida reportedly secured a new contract with AEW, setting the stage for her eventual return.
While away from AEW programming, Shida remained active in Japan, competing for several promotions including WAVE, ZERO1, and OZ Academy. One of her most recent appearances came in November 2025 at OZ Academy’s Sonoko Kato retirement event, where she competed in an eight-woman tag match.
With her return now in the books, the big question is what comes next. Whether this was a one-off appearance or the beginning of a more consistent run remains unclear—but if this performance was any indication, Shida is ready to make an impact once again.
