According to local news outlet WWLP Channel 22, this event is expected to generate around $220,000 in economic impact for the area.
AEW continues to focus on key markets as part of its business growth strategy. Below are the Collision results:

– Jeff Jarrett challenged “Hangman” Adam Page to a Lumberjack Strap Match for next week. Jarrett explained the rules that every Lumberjack outside the ring will be armed with a Strap and can whip a competitor every time they leave the ring.
– Sammy Guevera challenged AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada to a match next week.
– Roderick Strong, Rush, The Grizzled Young Veterans & The Beast Mortos def. FTR, Hook & The Outrunners
– Serena Deeb issued a challenge to Britt Baker for the 5th anniversary episode of Dynamite.
– Nigel McGuinness said “The American Coward” Bryan Danielson has failed to answer his challenge and called him a pathetic clam digger hiding behind a fake injury, and said that Bryan fears him. Tony Schiavone interrupted and said that Nigel’s claims are ridiculous and that if Danielson was cleared to wrestle, he will wrestle him. Schiavone said Danielson is not afraid of Nigel and that Danielson is the best pro-wrestler he has ever seen in his 5-decade career.
Nigel got upset and told Schiavone to go back to the commentary table and shut his mouth. Nigel said that ever since he was forced to retire, he has told anyone who would listen that he was as good as Danielson, but nobody listened or believed him, and the only person who knows the truth is Bryan which is why Byran refuses to accept his challenge. Nigel declared that even if Danielson does not show up at AEW Grand Slam, he will be vindicated and if there is a God in heaven it will happen, but if there is not then may the Devil hear his prayer.
