The following are spoilers for this Saturday’s AEW Collision.

Former multi-time TNA X-Division and Tag Team Champion Ace Austin is now #AllElite after making his surprise debut during Thursday’s AEW Collision taping in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The news was confirmed during the taping by AEW head Tony Khan himself. Based on a clip shared on social media seen below, Austin was in action and can be seen diving onto Ricochet and Bishop Kaun.

In May, it was revealed that Austin was leaving TNA after nearly seven years with the company. The 28-year-old was both a three-time tag champion with Chris Bey and three-time X-Division champion. He has been busy on the indies, working for Pro Wrestling Revolver, Maple Leaf Pro, RevPro and others since his TNA deal ended.

A pro since 2015, Austin joins former TNA wrestlers Josh Alexander and “Speedball” Mike Bailey in signing with AEW in 2025.
