It November 7 episode of “AEW Collision”. saw the stars of All Elite Wrestling take to the sea as the show aired live to Chris Jericho’s “Rock N Wrestling Rager at Sea” and the night ended with Tommaso Ciampa winning the AEW National Championship for the first time.
Ciampa faced Andrade El Idolo in the night’s main event, with “The Soul Killer” looking to avenge his loss to “The Real Latin American” at AEW WrestleDream 2026. The match was back-and-forth that saw both men win in multiple periods, but he won the champ. DM took down Ciampa. However, referee Aubrey Edwards was inadvertently knocked down, meaning he was unable to count.
With Edwards back to his feet, Andrade was unable to keep Ciampa down as the match entered the final stages. Ciampa attempted a series of spins as he hit Andrade’s spinning back elbow the first time, but couldn’t land the second time. However, just as Andrade went for the second DM, Ciampa powered the champion down and went down to get the three count. After the game, Ciampa took to the front row to celebrate with his daughter Willow as the show went off the air.

The win marks Ciampa’s second stint as AEW Champion winning the AEW TNT Championship in his in-ring debut for the company back in January against Mark Briscoe, but since that reign only lasted 11 days, he’ll be hoping to hold onto the AEW National Championship a little longer. As for Andrade, he still has his thing guaranteed shot at the AEW World Championship in his back pocket, but has yet to give any indication of when he might cash in on his shot.
