As seen during the August 16th 2025 edition of Collision, former TNA Wrestling star Ace Austin made his debut with AEW. Austin lost in his debut match against Ricochet.

Austin issued a statement via Twitter/X…

“Yeah guys; unfortunately I didn’t ‘win’ my @AEW debut match. Which just means I have to try harder & be smarter next week because what I did ‘win’ was a sweet contract that will give me more chances to win matches & make a nice living on a huge stage.

AEW is full of unbelievably skilled talent; I knew it wouldn’t be easy but I am more than up for the challenge. Thank you for the incredible love & support. It means the world to me. Thank you for the hate & whining too. It keeps my name trending 🤗.”
