Summary

AEW has added Mark Briscoe vs. Tommaso Ciampa to the May 20 dual episode of Dynamite and Collision.

The singles match will be Briscoe's first bout since March 11, 2026. That follows Briscoe's return to AEW television earlier this week, when he stepped back into the mix and set his sights on Ciampa.

What Briscoe vs. Ciampa means for AEW on May 20

Putting Mark Briscoe straight into a match with Tommaso Ciampa gives the May 20 special a clear hook tied to something AEW just put back on television. It also turns Briscoe's comeback from a backstage return into an in-ring follow-up right away, which gives the show one more featured matchup as the card continues to take shape.
