AEW pays classy tribute to The Butcher

Saturday night was bittersweet on the live episode of AEW Collision (Sep. 12, 2026). After “The Butcher” Andy Williams sadly died last Sunday, this show was to celebrate and honor his life. AEW crafted a classy tribute with wrestlers sharing fond memories and speaking highly of the man known as The Butcher. The best part was the closing video montage of The Butcher’s career to the tune of “Map Change” from his band Every Time I Die. The Butcher will never, ever be forgotten. We love you, Andy. We miss you. We always will. And we will honor your life and legacy every single day. "The dusk is so much clearer than the dawn had ever been." We love you, Andy. pic.twitter.com/lxdQ8vxAwf — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) September 13, 2026 The evening opened with a ten-bell salute.
