Gabe Kidd made his return to AEW on last night’s episode of AEW Collision, renewing his rivalry with Darby Allin on the show. Saturday night’s episode of Collision saw Allin face off with NJPW star Clark Connors. The two went just under 12 minutes in the match, which ended with Allin getting a victory via the Scorpion Deathlock.

After the match, Allin cut a promo in which he spoke about his wins over the Death Riders and stood atop Mt. Everest in 2025. He noted that in 2026 he plans to stand atop AEW and teased going after MJF. However, he was attacked by Kidd from behind. Connors joined Kidd in attacking Allin, with the two NJPW stars delivering a flapjack to Allin on the steps. They put Allin beneath the steps and Kidd got on the mic to cut a promo about how Allin may be done with the Death Riders, but he is here on his own business and not that group’s. He said he can’t move forward and will follow Allin to every corner of the Earth until he ends his rivals.

Kidd and Allin feuded last year as part of AEW’s feud with the Death Riders, who Kidd was aligned with. The two did battle at AEW Worlds End in December, with Allin picking up the victory.
