Nigel McGuinness & Daniel Garcia vs. FTR Announced for AEW Double or Nothing 2025

Saturday’s taped AEW Collision Beach Break 2025 show featured the first of two new matches announced for the card of AEW Double or Nothing 2025.

This new match announced was a tag team match of Nigel McGuinness & Daniel Garcia vs. FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood).

This new match was setup over recent weeks shows over McGuiness and Garcia’s bad blood issues with FTR and Stokely Hathaway. During this past Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Beach Break 2025 show, McGuiness offered his apology to Garcia for getting involved in his match last week and Garcia told him to keep it and suggested they team up together to take on FTR. This led to Stokely Hathaway coming out and after some banter, FTR attacked McGuinness and Garcia that ended when “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard ran out for the save.

During tonight’s show, McGuinness gave his official response accepting FTR’s challenge for a tag team match at Double or Nothing. Afterwards, it was announced that this match was made official for the show.

Nigel McGuinness accepts FTR’s challenge for a match at #AEWDoN, where he'd team with Daniel Garcia!

Technical Issues Cause AEW’s Collision Show to End 30 Minutes Early for Initial Airing

Saturday’s taped AEW Collision Beach Break 2025 show also featured a technical issue on TNT’s end causing the show to end 30 minutes early.

This issue occurred following the show going into a commercial break after the Steve “Mongo” McMichael tribute segment. When the show came back from its break, a text message displayed on the screen stating “This event has ended.” A ticker then the scrolled on the bottom of the screen that stated “Due to technical difficulties, AEW Collision is not airing tonight. Please check allelitewrestling.com for wrestling updates.”

Following the abrupt show ending, AEW CEO Tony Khan stated on Twitter that the incident was caused by studio transmission issues and that the full show will be available with the West Coast replay on TNT. Khan also stated that the full show will also be available to watch on MAX.

We’re having technical problems with our studio transmission of Saturday #AEWCollision tonight!
