A new champion will be crowned in the near future, as it was announced Saturday on “Collision” that a Survival of the Fittest match will take place in AEW for the first time.

Typically reserved for Ring of Honor, Survival of the Fittest is a multi-person elimination match where the last remaining competitor will be the winner. Competitors are eliminated when they are immobilized. Ring of Honor’s Supercard of Honor featured a Survival of the Fittest match for the Women’s World Championship. Athena retained the title in that match.
The new champion will be crowned on the July 1 episode of “Dynamite.” There will be six matches to determine the competitors who will then be in the match.

The TBS Championship has been the equivalent of the TNT Championship as one of the top belts for female competitors who are not in the main event title picture, per se.
Nightingale held the title for 140 days after defeating Mercedes Moné for the belt at “Dynamite: New Year’s Smash.” It was her second reign as champion.

Chaos puts an end to ‘Collision’

Konosuke Takeshita defeated Daniel Garcia to retain the AEW International Championship in his first title defense since defeating Kazuchika Okada at Double or Nothing.
But since Takeshita had apparently been expelled from the Don Callis family, the faction made their presence felt late in the match. Rocky Romero, Brian Cage, Lance Archer, Trent Baretta and the returning Jack Doyle were hurting Takeshita after the match.
Meanwhile, Jon Moxley, who was commentating for the match, was attacked by Shane Taylor, Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo. Marina Shafir, a member of Death Riders, also took part in the action.
“Speedball” Mike Bailey, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong ran to the ring to help Takeshita.
The fight continued when “Collision” went off the air.
