Top AEW champion shockingly pinned during Collision main event

A top champion suffered an unexpected pinfall loss during this week's episode of AEW Collision. The talent in question is Nicholas Jackson of The Elite.

The September 6, 2024, episode of Collision was main-evented by a star-studded eight-person tag team match which saw The Elite take on Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and PAC. The blockbuster bout followed on the heels of The Young Bucks, Jack Perry, and Kazuchika Okada attacking The Blackpool Combat Club this week on Dynamite.

The eight-man tag match presented back-and-forth, high-flying, and hard-hitting action that continued into Rampage, which followed Collision this week. Towards the end of the bout, AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson chased his All Out 2024 title challenger Jack Perry through the crowd out of the arena. Ultimately, Castagnoli and Yuta secured the win for their team after executing a Giant Swing-dropkick combination on Nicholas Jackson. As a result, the BCC members will walk into the Tony Khan-led promotion's upcoming pay-per-view with momentum on their side when they challenge the EVPs for the AEW World Tag Team Championships tomorrow.

Furthermore, Castagnoli and Yuta's trios partner PAC will take on Will Ospreay at All Out in a bid to capture the International Title.
