Taz Set for 2300 Arena Hardcore Hall of Fame Induction During AEW Collision

AEW is paying homage to one of ECW’s most iconic figures. This Saturday, during AEW Collision at Philadelphia’s legendary 2300 Arena, Taz will officially be inducted into the venue’s Hardcore Hall of Fame.

The announcement came after this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite went off the air, where the AEW roster surrounded the ring in “Team Taz Dojo” shirts for a surprise tribute. The moment was capped off by AEW President Tony Khan, who praised Taz as one of the building’s all-time greats.

“After a great night here for the first ever AEW show in the 2300 Arena, I can’t think of a more fitting way to end it than to pay respect to the greatest legend in the history of this building,” Khan said, recalling how he wore a Taz shirt as a teenager attending ECW shows.

Taz carved out a legendary career during his six-year run in ECW, capturing the ECW World Heavyweight Championship twice, the Television Title twice, and the Tag Titles three times. He also famously introduced the FTW Championship — a belt later revived in AEW in 2020. That legacy continued through his son, HOOK, who became the final FTW Champion before retiring the title in 2024.

According to Taz, the tribute caught him off guard, with his wife and son helping keep the surprise under wraps. On Saturday, his official Hardcore Hall of Fame banner will be raised inside the arena that defined so much of his career.

For a man once known as “The Human Suplex Machine,” the honor is another suplex-sized stamp on his lasting impact in professional wrestling history.

Isla Dawn Steps Into AEW Ring With Hometown Debut On Collision

AEW fans in Glasgow got a special surprise this week when Isla Dawn made her first appearance for the company on Collision. The Scottish star, who previously held WWE’s Women’s Tag Team Championship, squared off against Megan Bayne in singles action.

Although Dawn came up short in her debut, falling victim to Bayne’s crushing running liger bomb, the moment carried extra weight since it happened in front of a hometown crowd. The Glasgow faithful gave her a warm reception as she stepped into the AEW spotlight for the first time.

This was just Dawn’s second match since her WWE release back in February. Her only other post-WWE outing came earlier this month at the Burning Heart event on August 3. With her AEW debut now behind her, the question becomes whether this was a one-off appearance or the first step toward a more permanent run with the promotion.

Regardless of the result, Dawn’s presence in AEW adds another intriguing name to the women’s division—and doing it on home soil made the moment all the more memorable.

Former TNA Tag Champ Ace Austin Makes AEW Debut On Collision, Now Officially All Elite

AEW has added another big name to its roster. Former TNA standout Ace Austin is now officially All Elite, signing with the company following his in-ring debut against Ricochet on this week’s episode of AEW Collision.

Austin parted ways with TNA back in May after six years with the promotion, as contract talks reportedly broke down without a new deal being reached. During his run, Austin built an impressive résumé, capturing the X-Division Championship three times and holding the TNA World Tag Team Titles. His final appearance for the company came in a loss to Mustafa Ali, putting over the reigning X-Division Champion before hitting the independent circuit.

Fast forward nearly three months later, Austin walked into AEW and was thrown straight into the spotlight against Ricochet. While the newcomer pushed the high-flying veteran to the limit, Ricochet ultimately sealed the win with his Spirit Gun finisher. Post-match, The Gates of Agony hit the ring and joined Ricochet in a beatdown of Austin, setting the tone for what could be the start of a new chapter — and new rivalries — for the former TNA star.

Though not shown on television, reports from the tapings revealed that AEW President Tony Khan made things official right after the match. Khan reportedly asked Austin if he was ready to be “All Elite,” to which Austin replied that while he’s been good for a while, he now feels it’s the right time to become elite.

With his mix of athleticism, charisma, and big-match experience, Ace Austin has all the tools to make an impact in AEW. Now the question is: how soon will he climb the ranks in his new home?
