All-Else-Equal Wrestling (AEW) Executive Vice President Tony Khan has announced a major addition to tonight’s AEW Dynamite and Collision special from The Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, expanding the promotion’s live programming ahead of its upcoming AEW Advance TikTok debut.
In a surprise move during the first episode of AEW Advance, Khan revealed four new matches for the three-hour event, including a high-profile Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament quarterfinal between Claudio Castagnoli and Brody King. The match is part of AEW’s ongoing tournament to determine the inaugural Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Champion, a title created to honor the legacy of the late wrestling icon.
The announcement marks Khan’s first major in-ring appearance since the promotion’s shift toward greater live engagement on emerging platforms. Tonight’s Dynamite and Collision special will feature a four-way match under an Open Contract stipulation, a format that allows wrestlers from any promotion to compete without prior negotiation. While Khan did not specify the participants, the match is expected to draw significant attention given AEW’s recent push to attract top talent from rival organizations.
AEW’s decision to stream AEW Advance on TikTok reflects a broader industry trend toward leveraging short-form video platforms for real-time engagement. The promotion has previously experimented with live streaming on YouTube and Twitch, but the TikTok debut represents a strategic shift toward younger, social media-driven audiences.

Tonight’s event at The Liacouras Center—capacity 10,000—is part of AEW’s ongoing Super Station series, which guarantees a minimum of three hours of programming. The addition of the four-way match and the tournament quarterfinal suggests Khan is prioritizing fan appeal and competitive storytelling ahead of the promotion’s summer slate.
For updates on tonight’s full card, including the four-way match participants and additional tournament matchups, AEW will provide live coverage on its official social media channels and streaming platforms.
No further details on the Open Contract four-way match participants or the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament bracket have been confirmed by AEW officials. The promotion has historically kept such matchups under wraps until the final hour to maintain intrigue.
AEW Dynamite and Collision will air live at 8:00 PM ET from The Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, with pre-show programming beginning at 7:00 PM ET.
