AEW honored Andy “The Butcher” Williams with a solemn 10‑bell salute during tonight’s Collision broadcast.
The September 12, 2026 edition of AEW Collision began with Tony Schiavone inviting the audience to rise for the tribute. Williams’ portrait, accompanied by his guitar, was positioned in the ring while a montage of his most memorable moments played on the screen.

As reported, Andy “The Butcher” Williams died last Saturday after collapsing at an independent show; he was only 48 years old. This evening’s Collision episode celebrates his life and legacy, featuring the “Butcher Battle Royale” as the main event—a nod to his record for the most Battle Royale eliminations in AEW history. The victor will receive $100,000 to donate to a charity of their choice in Williams’ name.
