PLAY BY PLAY

Mercedes Mone is here!

The CEO does her dance as she struts out with just her AEW TBS Championship despite being #SixBeltsMone. She goes right to the ring where red carpet and directors chairs are waiting. Mone puts her belt aside with the others before she grabs a mic. “Texaaaas~! Say hello to your C E O! Now, Toni darling, I think we got off on the wrong foot, but I just want this face to face to be a civil conversation. So darling, let’s get to it. C’mon.” Mone waits but Toni Storm is on the tron. “Ah, and so we meet again here in Texas. Only two things come from Texas, and I am at least one of them.” The fans cheer that innuendo.

Toni hears the fans cheer her on, but Mone says she is sick of these games. But Mone is the master of games! Toni is hiding behind a screen, but on Saturday, there will be nowhere to hide. So why not come out here and face her face to face, “you mark?” And Mone promises not to hurt Toni too badly. Toni says, “Who said I was hiding? Hit my music!” Toin makes her entrance, Luther following behind. Toni goes right to the ring, Mone sees the champagne and says how nice of Toni. Let’s make a toast, shall we? Mone has a glass, then hands Toni a glass. A toast to… MONE! Your future AEW Women’s World Champion, #SevenBeltsMone!

They sip, but Mone says this is gross. It must’ve been frozen at some point. Toni says save the performative BS for your entrance, Mone. Toni thought she knew who Mone was, but clearly she was wrong. Toni warned Mone that she’s not like the others. But week after week, Mone has treated Toni like the underdog. Mone speaks in catchphrases, has the authenticity of a spray tan in a rainstorm. Mone has the emotional depth of a kiddy pool, and is also a s*it faced fraud! But in this belt, Toni found herself. But all these belts Mone wears are just masks for her to hide behind. So tell us, Mone, what the hell are you so afraid of?

The fans cheer Toni while Mone has a seat. Mone says she and Toni have walked very similar paths. But truth be told, they are nothing alike. Because Mone has and always will be better. The fans boo that, but Mone says she will always outshine Toni in success and class, and she is not afraid of any one or any thing. She is not afraid to leave it all on the table. She has been through hell and back and made the devil her b*tch. The more that the people hate her, the more Mone wins! And trust her, no one, and she means no one, is going to stop this Money Train! Not even Toni! This all here is her legacy, this is her destiny!

And Mone knows exactly who she is: The One Woman Revolution! The Alpha & Omega, and everything in between! The fans boo more but Toni says, “Legacies don’t exist, Mercedes! One day, we will all turn to dust and be forgotten. We’re all gonna die, Mercedes! Don’t you get it? All that matters is one moment. The moment where you step into this ring, look me in the eye, and you realize… that you fear an ordinary life, but I only fear an ordinary death! Now, I sincerely believe that you deserve all the titles in the world. But not this one!” The fans cheer that! Toni tells Mone that she will go down as the woman that just couldn’t win the big one!

Mone seethes behind her smile, and she says she wanted this to be civil, but she was wrong. This Saturday, may the best woman win! The two raise their glasses, they toast, and they drink. Toni says, “Eat s*it, b*tch!” Mone takes a swing on Toni but Toni slips around to Gory Especial! Mone slips free and runs away! The CEO won’t let Toni steal her signature move, but will Mone fail to steal the spotlight? Or will she make sure AEW is only “timeless” for a few more days?

Jon Moxley speaks.

“I know what you’re thinking, Hangman. With this Texas Death, you’re thinking we’ve been here before and things went your way. But that was one battle. And that was a long time ago. I’ve been beaten before. Been outmaneuvered, outsmarted, outmuscled, but I have never, ever in my life lost a war of attrition. And that’s exactly what this is. You think you can survive longer than me? Will you hold the line under the pressure of attack? Will you hold the line under the pressure of expectations? Will you hold the line under the pressure of everybody who’s counting on you?

“I think you’re a victim. I think you’re a waste. I think you’re absolutely pathetic. You have one chance to prove me wrong, so on July 12th, you better walk that aisle like it’s the last time you ever will. Because make no mistake about it, in Texas Death… You are all in, this time. Whether you like it or not, you are all the way in.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, but there will also be tonight’s All Star 8 Man in the main event! Will either man survive Garland to then fight in Global Life Field?

The Young Bucks arrive.

The Founding Fathers edition limousine pulls into the parking lot, and Nicholas & Matthew exit the back. They salute themselves, then enter the building. Will they be ready for the main event ahead of their own All In match? Or do they expect Moxley and Claudio to do the heavy lifting?

Bandido & Brody King VS Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis Family!

A truly busy week for these men here in Texas. Friday night is Supercard of Honor, and that will see The Most Wanted defend his ROH World Championship against The Alpha! Then for All In, the Casino Gauntlet might last long enough to see Bandido, Konosuke and the King of Death enter into the fray while the Aussie Arrow will be aiming for Adam Cole’s TNT Championship. Which side will look their sharpest after tonight?

AEW reaches another major milestone!

Dynamite hit 300, but Collision hits 100, and just in time for All In: Texas! But will FTR prove they’re still the Top Guys in AEW?

PLAY BY PLAY

Adam Cole is here!

Ontario, California fires up for the Panama City Playboy, and he brings his AEW TNT Championship to the ring. The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Story Time with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Now, the reason he has a giant smile is because this is the 100th episode of Collision! The strides that Collision has made in such a short time is impressive. Cole wants to thank the fans. AEW has the best wrestlers on the planet delivering some of the best matches we’ve ever seen, and dammit, these are the best fans he has ever been in front of!

“AEW is built on the future, and I’m excited about the future. Because right now, I am your TNT Champion, and this title is going nowhere. I am proud of where Collision has been, and I’m proud of where it is going. I am proud to represent TNT as your TNT Champion. I am proud about our future. In 2025 and beyond, I will hold onto this championship, because dammit, I’m Adam Cole, Baybay. And that is undisputed.” The fans cheer, but here comes Kyle Fletcher! The fans are torn as the Protostar has a mic to say, “Pardon the interruption, Adam, but I just wanted to personally congratulate everybody, and especially you, on such a huge milestone. 100 episodes of Collision, that’s huge!

“And you’ve had a fantastic run as the Face of TNT. But the next 100 episodes of Collision and the entire future of this company belong to ME.” The fans are torn on that, too, but Kyle says Cole loves to do story time. How about story time with the Protostar? Now, does Cole remember All In 2023? Of course he does! He main-evented the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time for the AEW World Championship. But earlier that night, he faced a young ‘n’ hungry Kyle Fletcher for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. And while that was the greatest night of Cole’s life, that was the WORST night of Kyle’s!

Cole took away the biggest accomplishment of Kyle’s life, purely to stroke his own ego. But now, Kyle stands here a totally different man. Kyle KILLED that version of Kyle to stand here the most perfect pro-wrestler in the world! Again, the fans are torn, but Kyle says he wants nothing more than to make Cole feel exactly how he did two years ago. So at All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, Kyle wants his shot at HIS TNT Champions! The fans like where this is going! Kyle says everyone int he world knows no one is more deserving of that shot! But wait! Daniel Garcia makes his way out here! The fans cheer as Daniel Garcia joins Kyle on stage.

Garcia asks, “What’s good, Ontario?” And he hears all this talk about the past of Collision, the future of Collision, the future of AEW, the TNT title, but when you talk about those things, you better bring up one name: Daniel Garcia. Now, Fletcher, their match is the main event. Garcia isn’t looking past Kyle, but he would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little distracted. Because when Garcia looks in the ring, he sees the man who beat him for the TNT Championship and that belt over his shoulder. Garcia can only think one thing to himself: “I need that.” Cole says he has all the respect for Garcia, and any time, any place that Garcia wants his shot, he’s got it.

But do not forget, Cole beat him before and he’ll beat him again. As for Kyle, the person living in Lala Land is just lying to himself. Last time, Cole had Kyle beat, and the Don Callis Family had to get involved because they knew it, and Kyle knows it. Cole had his number then and has his number now. So here’s a great idea: Let’s just go All In! Kyle wants his shot at the TNT title, Garcia wants his shot at the TNT title, and Cole is a fighting champion. At All In, he’ll face them both! Kyle says no no no, that’s not gonna happen. Kyle was screwed out of the title once, he won’t do it again. Kyle beat Garcia when he was TNT Champion, and he never got his shot!

Kyle says in a perfect and just world, HE would be here as TNT Champion! Garcia says oh c’mon, Kyle thinks he deserves to be a champion just cuz he beat Garcia? Congrats, who hasn’t beat Garcia? Garcia has been losing for his entire career, for his entire life, but every time he loses, he gets back up. The fans applaud that! Garcia says every time he fails, he gets back up! So Cole, Kyle, he isn’t asking for his shot because he “deserves” one, he wants to earn it. So here’s another idea: Garcia and Kyle are already in a big main event match, but let’s put it all on the line! Garcia VS Kyle, winner goes on to have the biggest match of their lives against Adam Cole for the TNT Championship!

The fans cheer, Kyle is annoyed, but Cole says if that’s how they wanna play it, that’s how they’ll do it. May the best man win. Garcia raised the stakes of tonight’s main event, but will he be ready to go All In? Or will the Aussie Arrow be the one flying to Texas?

Toni Storm speaks.

“This is a message for that the little girl watching from home. The one who begged her parents to buy All In so that she could sit in front of the television to watch the greatest women’s match of all time. It won’t be. It will be a lesson, and the lesson is this: Someone can only hurt you as much as you let them, and when they can’t hurt you anymore, if they hurt the people you love, you have absolutely every right to rip their bloody tits off. Some things in life are not worth fighting for. But if you’re lucky, one thing in your whole life will be worth every last drop of blood. Fortunately for me, that thing happens to be the big shiny gold belt that I wear around my waist.

“What you’re about to witness will change you in foul ways. Probably our mother, too. It won’t be nice, it won’t be pretty, but you will remember it forever. Hopefully, it will discourage you from becoming a wrestler yourself, because there are only two kinds of people in this world: Ruthless, greedy, power-hungry megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to have it all, and the people who end them. Good night, darling. See you next week.”

Triple Threat: Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!

Montel Vontavious Porter has practically begged for teams to step up to the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and he got what he wanted! #JetSpeed wants their shot, but so does The Patriarchy! This won’t automatically make a title match, but it could go a long way to putting one together. Will The Jet be 2Fly2Stop? Will The Prodigy make Christian Cage proud? Or will neither of them measure up to the Standard of Excellence?

Knight CHOPS! And CHOPS! Shelton CHOPS in return! Knight staggers away to the corner, but Shelton puts him in the ring. Shelton then goes back to Nick, wraps on a SLEEPER, but Nick JAWBREAKERS free! Nick hurries into the ring, brings Knight up, and snapmares for a chinlock. Knight endures as Nick squeezes tight, and Collision 100 returns to single picture. Bailey coaches Knight, Kip Sabian & Mother Shayna coach Nick, and Knight rises up. Knight fires body shots, the fans rally, but Nick cravats for a neck wrench. Knight fires more shots, fires forearms, and he ROCKS Nick! Knight runs, Shelton is back, FLAPJACK!

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite 300.

A reporter caught up with the Death Riders, wanting a word, but Moxley just pushed past the cameras. The reporter still asked, so Claudio decided to talk. “Opps. I’m not gonna yell, I’m not gonna scream, but I’m sick of you sticking your nose into our business. You wanna be heroes? I give you the opportunity to prove that you are heroes.” Claudio vents in German, but he translates that the Trios Championships are his! Yuta adds, “And mine, too!” All In: Texas, there is a score to settle! But wait, the Death Riders are down a man. Who will join the Swiss Cyborg & Decoder on facing Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Hobbs?

Winners: Mark Briscoe, Hologram y Mistico, by submission

The fans sing along with Me Muero for the winners! Will this momentum help Briscoe, Hologram and Mistico have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet? Oh, wait, speaking of, MJF & MVP interrupt via the tron. MJF asks if MVP saw that amazing finish. This is so exciting! Hologram, go teleport your ass back to the hotel, MJF doesn’t care about you. MJF is here to talk to Mistico and Briscoe, aka Jabroni y El Jabroni. MVP likes that, that’s clever. MJF says he knows Spanish. But MVP says we don’t “talky talk,” that is for poor, uneducated chicken farmers. MVP says men like him and MJF converse. They speak the language of violence.

So let’s converse right now. MJF says Briscoe wants to talk to him one-on-one, but MJF isn’t so sure. Nowadays, he rolls with his clique. When you’re in the Syndicate, you ride together, you die together, they hurt people. But MJF will still consider it. But as for Mistico, MJF knows he’s all excited to be in the gauntlet. IS HE? Because last time MJF checked, he’s gonna beat Briscoe within an inch of his life and pin him before anybody gets a chance to make an entrance. So now, they can go back to do what poor people do. MJF doesn’t know what that is, maybe count food stamps or something. MVP, talk us out.

MVP says he appreciates all the enthusiasm, but they’re way out of their league. MVP tells Mistico, in Spanish, that he is the biggest idiot in Mexico! MJF says it ain’t personal, it’s just business. MJF & MVP head out, but will Briscoe, Mistico, and just about everyone else in the gauntlet line-up make sure MJF does not win it?

BREAKING NEWS for All In!

While Kevin Knight got the big win in the Triple Threat, it will still be a Triple Threat for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The Patriarchy is still in this mix, will they ruin the plans of both Hurt Syndicate and JetSpeed?

Best Wrester Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???

Once again, Platinum Max thinks this is a good idea. And he tells Ontario, California, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans are a bit torn, but Caster says he knows that your lives here in the “empire” are very, very boring and very horrible. However, you people are about to have the best moment of your lives when you get to chant his name! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans do try, but he says no, no, stop. “You think this is a joke? “YES!” “You think I’m funny?!” “YES!” “This is my life’s work. Okay, y’know what? I have a chant we can all do, from me to you here.

“This Crowd Sucks! This Crowd Sucks!” The fans actually join in?! Caster says okay, they don’t get it. Let’s just get to business, because this is his open challenge! So let’s put five minutes on the clock! DUN DUN, we have our five minutes. Let’s see who can survive five with the Best Wrestler Alive! The lights go out, and SCORPIO SKY is on the tron! The Closer says he has been working for this. SoCal is where he started, it is where he fell, and it is where he is getting back up. Christopher Daniels adds that this isn’t just a fight camp, this is the #SkyFlight team. SoCal built him, SoCal fuels him.

Sky was tag team champion, he was TNT Champion, and now he shares that knowledge with his new team. Darius & Dante martin train with Sky. The grind never left. The crowd and the chaos, Sky has been wanting to get it back. He remembers those chants, “S C U! S C U!” And now, he’s back! The fans fire up as Scorpio Sky makes his return to AEW, accompanied by The Fallen Angel, Leila Grey & Top Flight! Caster is freaking out, will he just be the first step in Sky’s comeback story?

The bell rings and Caster runs up to throw hands! The fans boo as Caster CLUBS away on Sky! Caster says HE’s the best, then he whips. Sky reverses, SOBATS, and runs to KNEE LIFT! Then LARIAT! The fans fire up with Sky and they chant “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” Sky turns around, dodges Caster, then hits an atomic drop! Emphasis on the drop! Then the fireman’s carry for the T K O!! Cover, Sky wins!

Winner: Scorpio Sky, by pinfall

Four minutes and five seconds to spare! Sky & Daniels secret handshake, is this only the beginning of Scorpio rising?

Backstage interview with Ricochet.

Lexy Nair is with The One & Only and brings up how the Gates of Agony absolutely decimated AR Fox for him. Ricochet spoke with them in private, does he care to share that with us? Um, no. HAHA! Because what the Gates and Ricochet talked about is none of anyone’s business. But what they will see are his actions. Actions speak louder than words. So come with him, cameraman. Ricochet leaves Lexy behind as he goes into the hall, then shows that the Gates of Agony already took out Blake Christian & Lee Johnson! If you want Ricochet’s respect, you earn it. That is a command. Oh, and, uh… AHA~!

Ricochet & The Gates leave, will the Vanilla Babyface & Big Shotty even be able to stand, let alone earn Ricochet’s respect?

Willow Nightingale VS Vipress!

The Babe with the Power is ready for a Collision, but she also wants to build momentum this close to the Women’s Casino Gauntlet at All In. Will Willow fight her way to a top spot? Or will she feel snakebit after facing the Vipress?

The bell rings and the fans rally. Willow offers a handshake but Vipress slaps it away! The fans boo but Willow says okay, whatever. The two tie up, Willow waistlocks and SLAMS Vipress down! The fans cheer and Willow runs in at the corner to back body block! Then she LARIATS again and again! The fans cheer, the ref reprimands, but Willow snapmares and BOOTS her down! Willow brings Vipress up, whips her to ropes, then hits a SPINEBUSTER! Willow rolls Vipress, gut wrenches, but Vipress fights free! Willow says alright, and she storms up, but Vipress YANKS her into buckles! Vipress soaks up heat, but we see Kris Statlander watching!

Kris isn’t quite as amused as the fans, but then Wheeler Yuta taps her on the shoulder. Kris tells him she doesn’t need the Death Riders, then she storms off. Vipress pie faces Willow, talks trash, but Willow CHOPS her down! Vipress staggers, Willow eggs her on, and Vipress puts her hair up! The fans fire up for this, and Vipress SLAPS Willow! Vipress runs, but Willow POUNCES! PERIOD! The fans fire up and Willow brings down the straps! Willow hauls Vipress up, gut wrench, BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

Willow puts that one away quick, but will it be so easy to do that in the Casino Gauntlet? Or will the former NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, former AEW TBS Champion, former CMLL Women’s World Champion, and former Women’s Owen Hart Cup winner soon add a Women’s Casino Gauntlet to her list of achievements?

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite 300.

Renee Paquette found Anthony Bowens after the Men’s Casino Gauntlet #2 spot Fatal 4, and asked him how he felt after his defeat. He talked about his strategy going into the match, so- Bowens stops her there. There’s no room for negativity as the Pride of Pro-Wrestling. Billy Gunn then walks in, and he helps Bowens stand up. Bowens thanks Billy for the help now. Sorry, Billy thought the strategy was for him to not be ringside. Billy says he doesn’t know what Bowens is doing with all this. Bowens asks since when was that part of the strategy. He never said he didn’t want Billy out there. Well, that’s what Billy heard him say. He was back here watching the whole time.

Maybe Bowens doesn’t get this, but just because he’s a singles guy now doesn’t mean he’ll be world champion overnight. There will be bumps in the road, but they need to figure this out together. They can make it all work out. Bowens says Billy has been promising that for weeks but results need to happen now. All In is next week, Bowens has to win the gauntlet! He lost the chance at being #2 so now what? Trust Billy. Bowens & Billy scissor, but can Daddy Ass help the 5 Tool Player find the path to the top?

FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway VS The Outrunners!

Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood could not understand why Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd chose pretty much everyone else over them, but that’s because they’re not seeing things the right way.

8 Woman Tag: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay VS Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Julia Hart!

Given how the last time we had an All-Star 8 Woman Tag, Red Velvet snuck a little something-something in there, we’re obviously going to run it back. La Mera Mera once again teams with the One True African Queen, the Blackbelt Brazilian and the Star of the Show, but Team Fallen Goddesses made a substitution: They tagged out the Superbad Girl for the Princess of the Black Throne. However, Penelope Ford & Skye Blue will still be here ringside, will the villainous villainesses get another win before All In? Or will justice prevail this close to Supercard of Honor?

Thekla stands Rosa up but Rosa CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Rosa CHOPS Thekla into the corner, then winds up to CHOP again! Rosa whips corner to corner, Thekla reverses, and Thekla runs up to ELBOW!

Thekla keeps moving, winds up, but Rosa dodges the return! Rosa runs up, but Thekla BOOTS her! Thekla goes up, HANGING HEADSCISSORS! The ref counts, Thekla lets go and hangs from the ropes.

Julia has Rosa, she hits a SPIDER SUPERPLEX of her own! The fans cheer as the creepy girls both look to each other and smile. The Toxic Spider leaves the ring while Julia adjusts up top. HARTSAULT into BOOTS! Rosa and Julia are both down, the fans rally up, and the teams coach them up. Hot tags to Tay and Thekla! Tay rallies on Thekla, Thekla gets around, but Tay powers up to lift Thekla, SWINGING SIDE SLAM! The fans fire up with Tay and she goes corner to corner! BOOT! Tay goes side to side for another BOOT! Then she goes the other way, a THIRD BOOT! The fans fire up and Tay SAYANAGIS, to then KNEE Thekla down! Cover, TWO!

Thekla survives but Tay keeps on her. Tay drags Thekla up, tags Anna, and TayJay hook Thekla up! GORY BOMB KNEE COMBO! Cover, Athena breaks it! Rosa step sin and Athena runs away!

While the Fallen Goddess was running from her challenger, the Megasus dominated for her team. Will this be exactly what Megan does once she’s in the Casino Gauntlet? As for Athena, will the Forever Champion end up losing the title she’s held for TWO YEARS to Thunder Rosa? Or will Supercard of Honor not be her final battle?

Alex Windsor speaks.

“For eight long years, I wrestled on the UK independent scene, and when I was finally hitting my stride, I had my leg taken out from under me and I tore my ACL. There was a point where I didn’t think I’d ever be able to wrestle again. But there was just something that would not let me quit, because I knew the only thing that could make me feel human again, the only thing that could bring me back from the edge, was being inside a wrestling ring. And although I am All Elite now, the mission doesn’t stop until there is gold around my waist. I want to prove to my son what his mum has had to endure to become one of the best in the world.

“I am Iron Will, I am Alex Windsor!” Will Alex prove she is unbreakable when she finally gets back in that AEW ring?

AEW TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Daniel Garcia VS Kyle Fletcher!

Adam Cole joins commentary for this one, but so has Don Callis, because this one is all about who Cole faces at All In. The Red Death held the title previously, but he admittedly did lose to the Protostar during the Continental Classic. Will Kyle correct the oversight of not getting a title match? Or will the Dragonslayer go from one redemption to another?

The bell rings, the fans rally, and the two circle. They tie up, Kyle puts Garcia in a corner, the ref counts, and Callis praises Kyle’s physical strength. Kyle backs off with a roll, then he puts up his dukes to mock Garcia’s dance. Garcia says that’s not even close, but he and Kyle reset. They tie up, Kyle powers Garcia to another corner, but Garcia turns things around. The ref counts, Garcia lets off with a roll, and he shows Kyle how it’s done! The fans cheer, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks for the takeover, fights off a headscissor, but Garcia cravats from below. Garcia moves around, rises up, and the fans rally.

Garcia powers up and out, but Kyle runs him over! Things keep moving, Kyle runs Garcia over again! Kyle drops onto Garcia for a headlock, but Garcia fights his way up again. Garcia powers up and out, Kyle RAMS Garcia, but Garcia ducks ‘n’ dodges. Garcia CLOBBERS Kyle on the return and the fans fire up! Garcia has Kyle in the corner, climbs up, and he flips Callis off! The fans cheer and Garcia rains down fists! The fans count, but Kyle stops Garcia at 6 to BOOT him down! The fans still cheer that, and Kyle grins while Cole admits Kyle has power and speed. Kyle scoops to SLAM Garcia, and Garcia goes to the corner.

Kyle aims at the corner, runs in, but Garcia ducks! The gamangiri crashes ‘n’ burns and Kyle falls to the apron! Garcia runs to DROPKICK Kyle, then he does his dance with some extra stank! Garcia goes out after Kyle, runs up, but Kyle BOOTS him again! The fans are torn but Callis hugs it out with his guy. The fans definitely boo that, and Cole stares down with Kyle. Garcia BOOTS Kyle, Cole fist bumps with him, and Callis claims there’s a bias. But Kyle BOOTS right back! Then scoops to LAWN DART Garcia into barriers! Garcia falls in a heap and Kyle mockingly says check on him. Kyle hangs out with his fans at ringside while the others boo.

Kyle taunts the fans booing him, and we see Garcia is busted open! Kyle rains down fists, then shows off the bloody forehead. APRON BACK SUPLEX! Kyle grins while Garcia has a glazed look in his eyes, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Garcia flounders to ropes while Kyle soaks up cheers ‘n’ jeers. Kyle paces, then he storms over to Garcia for a JUMP STOMP! The ref reprimands but Garcia flounders away to the other side. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Garcia again! Kyle drags Garcia from the ropes, paces around him again, then stands him up. Garcia fires a flurry of forearms! Garcia backs Kyle down, but Kyle DECKS Garcia! Garcia shows off the blood on his wrist tape while he paces around.

Kyle stands on the corner, and he licks the blood! The fans surely tell Kyle he’s sick, but Collision goes to break.

Collision 100 returns once again and Garcia rains down fists in the corner! He goes to nine, then winds up for TEN! The fans fire up while Kyle flounders. Garcia runs up, Kyle puts him on the apron and GAMANGIRIS! Garcia wobbles, but he reels Kyle in for a GUILLOTINE in the ropes! Callis protests, the ref counts, but Kyle goes to the apron! Kyle powers up but Garcia fights free! Garcia ducks a lariat to APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Cole and Callis are both worried while the fans all fire up! Garcia stumbles back, Kyle goes the other direction, Garcia runs up and DROPKICKS Kyle into barriers!

The fans fire up as Garcia goes to the other side, runs back in, DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Garcia keeps moving, DROPKICK! Cole says Garcia is cooking here! Garcia puts Kyle on the apron, then slides into the ring. Garcia climbs up the corner, drags Kyle up to the top rope, and the fans fire up for the SUPER DUPER PLEX! Roll through, cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Callis is relieved. A standing count begins, Kyle and Garcia stir, and Garcia grabs the legs. Kyle BOOTS Garcia away, Garcia rebounds, but into Kyle’s cradle!

Kyle grins as he looks at Cole, and he reels Garcia in for an APRON POWERBOMB!! Garcia is down in a heap and Cole stands up in anger.

The fans are torn as Kyle leaves Garcia behind. The count starts again, Cole coaches Garcia, but can Garcia even hear him right now? The count is 5 of 10, and Garcia grabs the apron skirt! Garcia rises, but we’re at 8! Garcia leaps in at 9.99! But the GAMANGIRI hits in the corner!! And then Kyle suplexes, BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Kyle wins!!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW TNT Championship)

Daniel Garcia fought his heart out, but his body could not withstand the viciousness of Kyle Fletcher. And now, the Aussie Arrow is aimed squarely at Adam Cole. Will the Protostar make himself the Face of TNT? Or will this title stay undisputed?

My Thoughts:

A great 100th episode of Collision, even with it being prerecorded on Wednesday. FTR VS Outrunners was an awesome match, and naturally FTR was winning, but it was a nice touch for Stokely to be involved right at the end so that The Outrunners’ power level isn’t hurt by the loss. The tag title story is a bit disconnected, though, as apparently Nick Wayne “interrupted” a Hurt Syndicate interview. It was a YouTube exclusive, not part of Dynamite, so Nick Wayne jumping into what they framed as Shelton VS Knight was weird. And even then, Knight won the Triple Threat by pinning Shelton, shouldn’t it just be JetSpeed VS Lashley & Shelton? And I’m pretty sure the only reason for the Triple Threat is so that Hurt Syndicate can lose the belts without taking the finish.

Great Six Man Tag from Briscoe, Hologram & Mistico VS Don Callis Family, and great win for the Faces. Good promo from MJF and MVP, but not really needed. They just wanted to step on Briscoe’s celebration before having the “talky talk” moment next week. Awesome return for Scorpio Sky after roughly 600 days of being away, and he of course got a win over Max Caster. The main thing from this is that Sky is also now leading a new faction with Christopher Daniels. Hopefully Top Flight gets some direction with this, they’ve been in a holding pattern for so long. And that’s not even the injuries, they’ve both been back for a good amount of time and they’ve only been contenders to the tag titles, not winners.

Very good promo from Claudio to call out The Opps, and I’m starting to really feel like Hook joins Death Riders as payback on Samoa Joe for replacing him so easily. Willow got a good win but it was mostly so we could have that moment of Kris and Yuta where Kris is still resistant to the idea of joining Death Riders. Great 8 Woman Tag, and Athena being scared of getting in the ring with Rosa was some good stuff. Another strong win for the Heels, and I feel like Megan is going to have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet. But with Alex Windsor having another good promo, I feel like she could be a favorite to win. Then Alex faces the winner of Toni VS Mone at Forbidden Door. Good promo from Toni Storm, but it didn’t really add that much to the build.

And finally, something for the TNT Championship. Great promo to open the night, and it naturally raised the stakes on the main event. Garcia VS Fletcher was awesome, and that moment near the end with them both down on the outside really teased a double count out to make a Triple Threat for All In. But in the end, Kyle overwhelms Garcia and is the standalone #1 contender. Cole VS Fletcher is going to be awesome, and probably could go either way. But if the Don Callis Family is going to be as big as it is, it also needs to win some gold. There’s potential for them to really clean up next weekend with Konosuke Takeshita going for the ROH World Championship, Okada VS Omega for the “unified” championship, and now Fletcher going for the TNT title.

My Score: 9/10
