ACW Champions Collins, Dalishus Defend Tag Titles in Steel Cage Match as Reckoning Loads 10 Bouts

Saturday’s Reckoning card at Poughkeepsie’s MJN Center will feature ACW tag champions Hale Collins and Vik Dalishus defending against Sent 2 Slaughter in a steel cage match billed as the feud’s final chapter.
An 18-month rivalry across multiple Northeast promotions turned deeply personal, they said, after Danny Maff and Shawn Donovan crashed Dalishus’ wedding and Collins’ Hall of Fame ceremony; the champions also want redemption after losing a previous cage match amid a manager’s betrayal.
10 bouts are scheduled for the show, with Andrade, Flip Gordon, Steph De Lander, Indi Hartwell, Lady Frost, Richard Holliday and Brian Cage among the featured names, plus Hall of Fame inductions for Randy Savage and Mike Bell.
Since launching in January 2025, Collins and Dalishus said ACW has grown by leaning on its MJN Center partnership, upgraded production and YouTube exposure, while still weighing the risks of eventually taking the promotion on the road.
