The Bang Bang Gang wanted a war, and AEW didn’t make them wait long for an answer. During the AEW Collision episode on September 19, 2026, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin and Jay White challenged The Death Riders and The Dogs to a 10-man Tailgate Brawl — and later in the show, AEW confirmed that the fight is happening.
The challenge initially came with five members of Bang Bang Gang calling out the combined forces of The Death Riders and The Dogs. By the time Collision was over, the talking was done and the 10-man showdown had been added to next week’s AEW Tailgate Brawl.
That means Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin and Jay White will step into what could become complete chaos just before AEW All Out. With ten wrestlers involved and the Tailgate Brawl stipulation attached, nobody should expect this thing to stay clean for very long.
AEW Tailgate Brawl will air September 26 on TNT and HBO Max beginning at 7:00 PM ET in the United States. The special serves as the final stop before All Out takes over later that night from the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
The timing couldn’t be much crazier for The Death Riders either. Jon Moxley already has one of the biggest matches of the night waiting for him when he challenges AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, meaning the faction will be knee-deep in trouble before the pay-per-view even gets rolling.
AEW All Out 2026 currently has the following lineup:
- AEW World Championship: Will Ospreay (c) vs. Jon Moxley
- AEW World Tag Team Championship Three-Way TLC Match: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage (c) vs. FTR vs. The Young Bucks
- AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Chicago Street Fight: The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor) (c) vs. Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne & Lena Kross)
- AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla — winner earns a shot at Mercedes Moné at WrestleDream
- AEW World Trios Championship: Hangman Adam Page, Bandido & Brody King vs. the winner of Swerve Strickland & The New Level vs. The Demand
- AEW World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contender Match: Darby Allin & Steven Borden vs. Kyle Fletcher & Kevin Knight
Bang Bang Gang didn’t just run their mouths and leave fans wondering whether AEW would pull the trigger. The company locked the match in before Collision went off the air, and now ten guys are heading into Tailgate Brawl with permission to tear into each other before All Out even begins.
