With championships, future title opportunities and a cross-section of AEW’s roster all represented, Grand Slam France is set to give the Paris crowd a substantial Collision lineup.
How to watch AEW Collision Grand Slam France

- Start time: 8 p.m. ET

The event places AEW’s Saturday program in one of Europe’s most recognizable cities. Grand Slam presentations have often been built around important matches and a heightened atmosphere, and the Paris stop arrives with several divisions represented on the announced card. The tag team, women’s tag team, National Championship and broader faction landscape will all be in focus during the broadcast.
The Young Bucks defend the AEW Tag Team Championships
Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson, The Young Bucks, will defend the AEW Tag Team Championships against The Dogs, Clark Connors and David Finlay. The title match puts one of AEW’s most prominent tandems opposite a challenging pairing from The Dogs. For Matt and Nick Jackson, the assignment is clear: retain the championships on an international Grand Slam card. Connors and Finlay, meanwhile, enter with the chance to leave Paris as AEW Tag Team Champions.

Tag title bouts naturally demand cohesion as much as individual ability, and both sides come into this contest as established teams. The Young Bucks’ championship status makes them the team carrying the most immediate pressure, while The Dogs have a direct route to changing the landscape of the division in a single match. There is no qualifying process or additional hurdle attached to this opportunity. Connors and Finlay will meet the champions with the titles on the line.
The match also gives Grand Slam France a centerpiece championship attraction. A successful defense would keep the belts with The Young Bucks. A title change would give Connors and Finlay a defining result in Paris and immediately reshape the conversation around AEW’s tag team champions.
Andrade El Idolo puts the National Championship on the line
Andrade El Idolo will defend the AEW National Championship against Michael Oku. This is another direct title match on a card that gives several competitors a chance to make an international statement. Andrade enters as champion, with Oku seeking to take the National Championship away from him before the Paris audience.
The National Championship defense is especially significant because it is not framed as an eliminator or a non-title showcase. The championship itself is at stake. Andrade has the responsibility of protecting his position, while Oku has the opportunity to secure a major singles accolade on one of AEW’s special Collision presentations.
For viewers following the full show, this bout supplies a singles championship contrast to the tag title match between The Young Bucks and The Dogs. It also ensures that the Adidas Arena card will feature title implications across more than one division. Whether Andrade continues his reign or Oku completes an upset, the outcome will be one of the night’s clearest points of consequence.
Clockwork Carnage qualifying spot up for grabs
Mike Bailey faces Lee Moriarty in a Clockwork Carnage Qualifying Match. Unlike the two championship contests, this match is about earning a place in what comes next. Bailey and Moriarty will compete with qualification for Clockwork Carnage at stake, making the result important beyond the immediate Paris event.
Qualifying matches create a different kind of urgency. Neither competitor can afford to treat the contest as simply another singles meeting, because a victory moves one man closer to the Clockwork Carnage field while a loss ends that route. Bailey and Moriarty each have an opportunity to add momentum to their respective paths by prevailing at Grand Slam France.
The stipulation gives Collision an additional forward-looking element. The title matches will establish who leaves Paris holding championships, but Bailey versus Moriarty will determine who advances toward a future marquee match. That makes the bout a pivotal one for both competitors even without a belt being defended in the ring.
Women’s tag team contenders will be decided
A major women’s division match is also scheduled, with Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron, Sisters of Sin’s Julia Hart and Skye Blue, and Divine Dominion’s Lena Kross and Megan Bayne listed for an AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles Number One Contenders Match.
The announced matchup brings together three teams with a direct prize at stake: number one contendership to the AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles. Statlander and Cameron will look to emerge from a competitive field, while Hart and Blue represent Sisters of Sin and Kross and Bayne compete as Divine Dominion. Every team has the same objective, but only one can leave with the championship opportunity.
With six competitors involved, the margin for error will be limited. The match is not about merely gaining attention or claiming a verbal advantage; it is designed to identify the next challengers for the women’s tag team titles. That places a premium on teamwork and awareness, particularly with multiple alliances competing in the same contest.
The result will help clarify the immediate direction of the women’s tag team championship picture. The victorious duo will have earned a position at the front of the line, while the other two teams will be left to regroup after coming up short in a high-stakes setting.
Swerve Strickland meets Carlie Bravo
Swerve Strickland will face Carlie Bravo in another announced singles match. The pairing adds an important individual contest to a card otherwise filled with championship and multi-person action. Strickland and Bravo will have the chance to stand out in Paris in a bout where both men can pursue a decisive result.
In a lineup with several matches involving partners and factions, this contest offers a straightforward one-on-one test. A win at Grand Slam France can provide valuable momentum, particularly on a special event broadcast with an international audience. Both Strickland and Bravo will be looking to make their case through the result rather than through a championship stipulation.
Nick Wayne faces Chris Jericho
Nick Wayne is set to take on Chris Jericho in a featured singles contest. The match brings together Wayne and Jericho on a card that spans multiple generations of AEW talent and several different competitive formats.
For Wayne, a match with Jericho on a Grand Slam card presents a significant opportunity. Jericho, meanwhile, enters another high-profile singles assignment in Paris. The announced bout does not carry a title stipulation, but its placement on this lineup gives both competitors an opportunity to secure a notable victory on Collision.
The one-on-one nature of the match means the focus will remain squarely on Wayne and Jericho from the opening bell. With Paris hosting a card full of consequential bouts, a strong performance or a major result here could become a key talking point coming out of the show.
The Death Riders battle The Conglomeration
The card is rounded out by an eight-person tag team match featuring The Death Riders against The Conglomeration. Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia and Marina Shafir will represent The Death Riders. Across the ring, Willow Nightingale, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly and Orange Cassidy will compete for The Conglomeration.
This contest provides the largest collection of competitors on the announced lineup and combines several of AEW’s most recognizable names in one match. Castagnoli, Yuta, Garcia and Shafir bring The Death Riders’ side together, while Nightingale, Strong, O’Reilly and Cassidy form the opposing unit. As with any eight-person match, partnership, timing and control of the ring will be central to the outcome.
The bout is also positioned to close out a card that features major stakes throughout the night. The teams are evenly represented with four competitors apiece, leaving no numerical advantage before the match begins. The question will be which group can execute better when the bell rings in Paris.
