The reason for McGuinness’ absence likely was due to AEW recently cancelling this week’s live show and moving it to being taped this past Wednesday due to severe winter weather issues affecting the Arlington, Texas area.

Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter Forms New Tag Team

Saturday’s taped AEW Collision show also featured Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter forming a new tag team in AEW Women’s Tag Team division.

During the show, Windsor was seen backstage talking to a mystery person about forming a new tag team and going after some AEW Women’s Tag Team gold. This mystery person was revealed to be Hayter who agreed to join forces with Windsor to win some gold together in AEW

.@HailWindsor and @jmehytr look to carve their own legacy with #AEW gold in their sights!
