AEW Grand Slam Australia Collision 2/15/25

During the Zero Hour ahead of AEW All In, All Elite Wrestling announced that AEW Grand Slam Australia will be held at Suncorp Stadium on February 15, 2025. This will mark AEW’s debut in Australia. Given the date, Grand Slam is seemingly set to be a pay-per-view for the first time, as February 15, 2025, will be a Saturday.

Grand Slam Australia will be the fifth annual Grand Slam event in AEW’s history. This event marks a significant departure from tradition as it will be the first Grand Slam to take place outside of Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City, where the previous four editions were held from 2021 to 2024. AEW’s first event “down under” will spotlight the promotion’s Australian talents, including Kyle Fletcher and Buddy Matthews, performing in their home country. The show was originally scheduled for the larger Suncorp Stadium but was relocated to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre due to slow ticket sales. This decision was made due to the time difference between Australia and the United States, making a live broadcast impractical for the American audience.

Ospreay went for the Hidden Blade, but Callis interfered, grabbing his leg. The chemistry between Omega and Takeshita in the ring was electric. Omega nailed a brutal V-Trigger on Takeshita, but Fletcher and Takeshita fought back with double tombstone piledrivers. Despite the big moves, Ospreay and Omega kicked out, leading to the crowd chanting “Fight forever!” Takeshita managed to escape a One-Winged Angel, but Fletcher took advantage and attacked him. Omega sent Fletcher crashing to the floor with a rebound off the ropes. Ospreay then hit an insane dive over the buckles to the floor, taking out Fletcher. Back in the ring, Takeshita was taken down with a brutal One-Winged Angel/Ospreay Blade counter, and he was pinned for the win.

There was a big reaction when Harley was announced from Australia, with the crowd cheering loudly. Mercedes, on the other hand, received resounding boos as she made her entrance. It was clear who the crowd favorite was. The match was a back-and-forth battle. Harley went under the ring and pulled out the puppet, which clearly enraged Mone. The crowd erupted, chanting “Feel the Wrath” as Cameron took control. She hit a flying bodypress followed by a Destroyer, securing a near fall. Mone came back strong with a powerbomb and followed up with a Meteora off the ropes. When Cameron kicked out, the crowd let out a big roar. Cameron responded with a 619-style kick and climbed to the top rope, but she missed a swanton after Mone rolled out of the way. Mone quickly hit the Money Maker, securing the win to retain her title.
