Someone pulls up to the arena.
It’s Ricky Starks! Absolute gets out of the car, gets his bags, and shows off the King of Harts belt. “Tonight, we’re celebrating in Absolute style, baby!” Will Starks be having fun here tonight? Or will someone look to crash the party?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He has Newark open up with a celebration, let’s bring out the winner of the 2023 Men’s Owen Hart Cup, RICKY STARKS! Fans cheer as Starks makes his entrance, bringing his bag and belt with him to the ring. Starks even gets pyro for the occasion! So much pyro! Too much pyro? Is it all the pyro AEW brought tonight? Ricky steps into the ring with Schiavone and Schiavone says congratulations. Starks won the cup, the belt, and is the King of Harts. But not without controversy, where Starks held the ropes to win. Fans still chant “You Deserve It!” and Starks smiles. Starks says, “I’ve never agreed more with a city in my life until tonight.”
But before he addresses what Schiavone is bringing up, he wants us all to know, “What’s in the bag? What’s in the bag, Ricky?” Glad they asked! NOTHING, he just wants to show off the new Louis Vuitton he bought after winning the tournament! Fans cheer that, and Starks then says, “HOT DAMN I’m the man!” Now he knows people are talking about the controversy. But what does it matter? Twenty years from now, they’ll be asking Starks how many wins, not how he wins. And if anyone else was in Starks’ shoes–which are Prada, by the way–they’d have done the exact same thing. So the way Starks sees it, he got in there and got the job done the only way he knows how: any means necessary!
Don’t talk to him about right and wrong, but about how he is stylish, and sexy, and how he’s the man! But what about the disrespect when Starks blew right by Jushin Thunder Liger when he grabbed the cup? No disrespect, Liger is a legend, but Starks is Absolute. Now, here’s something Starks wants to talk about: everyone wants to make comparisons. NO, Starks is himself. He is happy for the fans who say Starks should be a Young Pillar, it is a great sentiment, but nuh-uh, Starks don’t wanna be no damn pillar! He stands on his own as Absolute, and you tell him how many Owens have the Four Pillars won? EXACTLY!
But wait, here comes CM Punk. No theme song, no fanfare, he just goes right to the ring. Punk stands with Schiavone and Starks, and fans are torn. Punk says he isn’t here to rain on parades, this is Starks’ celebration. Punk knew everyone here in New Jersey probably thought he’d storm out here, shouting and screaming. But he’s not mad. If he’s mad, it’s at himself. In fact, looking at Starks, Punk is kinda proud. Fans are confused but Punk cannot stand here as an honest man and say he’s never cheated. And he certainly can’t stand in New Jersey and act like the fans never cheated, either. Fans boo, but who knows if that’s true.
Punk says maybe if the Jersey Devils had Starks’ wherewithal, they would’ve made it outta the first round. Fans boo more, but we all know Punk is a Blackhawks guy. But in all seriousness, Punk can live with the L. But can Starks live with the W, knowing how he did it? That he can’t beat Punk clean? Punk leaves Starks with that, and Starks tells him to hold on! Punk, man, Starks’ bag is as empty as Punk’s red bag. That gets Punk to come back! Punk stares Starks down and fans get back on his side in this. Punk tells Starks, “You wanna shot at what’s in the bag, Ricky? Or are you like Lil’ Max and just don’t want me to have it?”
Punk is the REAL AEW World Champion. Fans are torn there, but then out walks Christian Cage & Luchasaurus! Christian wants everyone to hold on, because they are contractually obligated as TNT Champion to appear in front of the live audience. But this is taking a little too long for Christian’s liking. He doesn’t wanna spend any more time in New Jersey than he has to, and they’re called “Dirty Jersey” for a reason, “you sweathogs.” So Christian wants them to shut up while he conducts business. He has a question for Punk: What kind of man carries around a title he didn’t win? Fans boo the hypocrisy right before our very eyes.
Punk laughs but Christian says he knows the answer. Just continue doing whatever this is, he and Luchasaurus are gonna go. But a quick reminder that Christian- ER, they are the faces of TNT now and forever! But here comes DARBY ALLIN! He snatches the mic right outta Christian’s hand and continues to the ring! Fans fire up for Darby and he tells Ricky that he doesn’t like the term “Pillar,” either. Four men can’t be the pillars. Anyone who is ride or die with AEW is a pillar! Just like his “good friend,” CM Punk. Darby side hugs Punk and Punk pats him on the back. Darby then asks Christian & Luchasaurus, “Who’s the champion? Is it you? Or is it you?”
But it doesn’t matter to him, because at All Out, he becomes the new Face of TNT! And he’ll put respect back on that title! Cuz when he looks at Luchasaurus, all Darby sees is a guy who took too many drugs and thinks he’s a dinosaur. Christian holds Luchasaurus back, and Darby says he isn’t here to talk. He has an idea: Tag team match! Darby & Punk VS Starks and… Well, Christian doesn’t even wrestle anymore, so make it the TNT Champion, Luchasaurus. Fans fire up for that idea! Christian says he’s the champion? Really? Then get in the tag match tonight. Christian hesitates, fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” but Tony Khan chimes in.
Schiavone says Khan makes it official! Starks & Luchasaurus, or Christian, against Darby and Punk! Fans fire up for that, and Darby says, “See you tonight, Champ.” The Relentless One just shook things up, will he and Punk get to go all out before having it out in September?
AEW shares footage from just before we went on the air.
Andrade El Idolo arrived, security said hello, but told him that after the incident last week, management can’t allow Andrade into the building. What? Sam, c’mon. The House of Black stole his mask! This is why he’s here. But the security insists, he cannot go to the locker room. He has to leave. What? Andrade is frustrated, but has no choice but to leave out the back. Will the House of Black only have to worry about The Acclaimed tonight?
Bullet Club Gold w/ The Gunns VS Action Andretti & Darius Martin!
Jay White & Juice Robinson were so, so close to becoming AEW World Tag Team Championships, but they could not finish off FTR in their Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match. Meanwhile, Action & Darius are rolling after a Zero Hour victory at Death Before Dishonor. Will the Sight to See and the Air Wolf pass the Switchblade & Rock Hard by? Or will the Bang Bang Gang simply reload and try again?
The teams sort out and after a #GunsUp salute, Darius starts against White. The fans chant “ASS~ BOYS!” at Austin & Colten but White and Darius tie up. Darius puts White in a corner but White turns it around. White RAMS into Darius, stomps away, then lets off as the fans count. White CHOPS Darius, the Gunns “WOO~” for him, and White CHOPS again! Darius sputters, White keeps him from Action, and he CHOPS Darius in the corner! Tag to Juice, BCG double whip but Darius KICKS Juice! Darius TOSSES White, ELBOWS Juice, then DROPKICKS Juice down!

Tag to White, and White RAMS into Action again and again! White CHOPS Action down, grabs the legs, and tags Juice. ROPE GUILLOTINE, and then Juice drags Action out, DRAPING NECKBREAKERÂ to the floor! Fans chant “DADDY DOESN’T LOVE~ YOU!” at the Gunns, but they just taunt Action. Darius runs up, but White RAMS him into railing! Darius goes down in a heap, the Gunns join in on a #GunsUp salute, and Juice says you’re looking at the top team in AEW! The ref reprimands everyone as Collision goes picture in picture.
The Gunns taunt the fans, Juice drags Action up and scoops, to SLAM him on the floor! Action writhes, Juice slides in and he tags White. White fetches Action, and whips him hard in to railing! Action writhes but White goes back to drag Darius up, and whips him hard into railing! The ref reprimands, White leaves Darius & Action behind, and he flexes with Juice.

White then stomps away on Action, then Juice SENTONS again! Cover, TWO!

Miro VS Nick Comoroto!
The Redeemer does not need anyone or anything but himself and victory. Will Miro continue to dominate with his own power? Or will the Wrecking Ball break him down with his own power?

Comoroto CLUBS Miro, Miro hits back, and they brawl at ringside! Comoroto RAMS Miro into steel steps! Miro staggers up, Comoroto puts him in the ring, and now the bell rings. Comoroto scoops Miro to a fireman’s carry, for a WIDOWMAKER! Cover, ONE!! Miro is tougher than that and Comoroto is furious! Comoroto runs in corner to corner to SPLASH! And he RAMS his shoulder in again and again! And then he whips corner to corner, to run and SPLASH!

Comoroto tried to take the fight to Miro, but that only motivated Miro to hurt him worse! Will Miro redeem himself when he takes a title for his own?
AEW World Trios Championships: The House of Black VS The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn!
While Malakai Black has been tormenting Andrade El Idolo, he, Brody King & Buddy Matthews still reign over the AEW Trios Division. Will that not change, no matter what Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Daddy Ass try? Or will this rematch be redemption for the challengers?
Collision returns as The Acclaimed make their entrance, and Platinum Max has a diss track ready! “The House of Black gettin’ sniped out. Put you on the floor like it’s drugs at the White House! Your reception is lukewarm, y’all’re my favorite category on YouPorn! It’s just a bunch o’ goth chicks. Hey Buddy, you’re lookin’ kinda nauseous! There’s a record of you-” OH NO, Buddy V-TRIGGERS Caster at the ramp!! No more jokes, is the House about to bury The Acclaimed? Brody goes after Billy and Malakai goes after Bowens!

Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)
Billy wanted this so hard, but he could not withstand the onslaught. Malakai whispers something to Billy, was it something of respect? Or something of a warning?
Wait, Billy is untying his boots? Fans chant “NO! NO! NO!” but Billy is taking his boots OFF! Caster & Bowens are also in shock as Billy keeps going. Fans chant “You Still Got It!” but maybe what Malakai said has convinced Billy otherwise? Bowens & Caster are speechless as Billy stands, boots in hand. Billy drops them at the center of the ring, then steps away! Bowens tries to reason with Billy but Billy walks up the ring. Is this the end of the legendary career of Billy Gunn?
Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.
He welcomes out the greatest tag team in the world today, the AEW World Tag Team Champions, FTR! Fans cheer as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood make their way out. FTR stands with Schiavone, and he says that with the chant ringing out, one week ago, wow, one of the greatest tag team matches ever. And FTR is still on top. But next week, in Hartford, Connecticut, FTR will defend these titles against the winners of the Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament. It will be AEW World Champion, MJF, and Adam Cole VS FTR! Fans cheer that, and Cash asks how Newark’s doing tonight. Fans cheer, they’re good.
Cash checks the list: Aussie Open; The Acclaimed; The Young Bucks. All real tag teams that they have unfinished business with. But first, they have to deal with next week, July 29th, MJF & Adam Cole. Fans again cheer, and Cash says he gets it. The fans like those two, right? Yes! But do you trust MJF? No. Cole, listen: Do you trust Max? Cash doesn’t! That’s from firsthand experience! Anyone remember The Pinnacle? Fans cheer, and Cash saw day in and day out, the kind of person Max really is. And as a wise man once said, the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled is making you believe he doesn’t exist, and he’s doing it again!
So right here, right now, when MJF shows you what he is, and tells you what he is, listen to him. Do NOT trust MJF. Next week, Cole is not beating FTR, baybay. Dax likes where Cash went with that. Dax says that when he was about 14 to 15 years old, his dad had him go out and get a job. Yeah, he booed, too. But every single day after school, these same group of kids would come by, they were privileged with their parents’ money. Those kid would come in, make fun of Dax cuz Dax had to work for money. But Dax promised himself that if he ever saw those kids again, he’d take his right hand, and crack them in the nose. Never got that chance.
But that scenario reminds him of what’s happening right now. Because to Dax, it just feels like MJF & Cole BAYBAY are take the tag titles as a joke. It feels like they take this match as a joke. And for Dax, those skits, those little moments, and yes he knows the fans like the Double Clothesline. But it’s all the laughs and the dance break in the biggest match of their tag career! For ten YEARS, Dax has done everything he could, torn his ACLs, meniscus, labrums, biceps, and then some just to make FTR the greatest team in pro-wrestling! Fans cheer that, and Dax says next week, in Hartford, which fans boo… Dax says there will be NO comedy.
Dax vows to take out on Cole & MJF what he wanted to take out on those spoiled rich kids all those years ago. FTR will give Max & Adam something the real world never gave them: an ass kicking! #TopGuysOut! Will the Blue Collar Brawlers break the boys from Long Island and Panama City?
Taya Valkyrie VS Skye Blue!
Both La Wera Loca and the Chicago Skye have fallen short of titles, but the chase never ends. Who will take a very important step towards another opportunity?
The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally for Skey but Taya grins. Taya pats Skye on the head, then shoves her down! Fans boo but Skye stands right up to circle with Taya. They tie up, Skye waistlocks, and she holds on as Taya tries to throw her away! Taya swings a full circle and Skye lets go! Taya then KICKS Skye against ropes! Taya bumps Skye off buckles, stomps away, and then CHOPS Skye in the corner! Taya taunts Skye, but Skye dodges the chop to fire off forearms! And a CHOP! And then more forearms! Taya shoves Skye away, Skye ducks ‘n’ dodges and RAMS shoulders! Taya rebounds to run Skye over!
Fans boo but Taya just watches Skye go to ropes. Taya eggs her on, runs in, but Skye dodges to SHINING WIZARD! Skye then runs in, springboards and arm-drags! Fans rally as Skye whips, but Taya blocks! Taya whips Skye, but Skye goes to the apron! Skye ROUNDHOUSES Taya away, Taya runs in to BLAST Skye off the apron! Fans rally as Taya goes out, and she SPEARS Skye down! Fans are torn but Taya drags Skye up and into the ring. Taya CLUBS Skye, whips her to ropes, but Skye holds ropes and ELBOWS back! Skye then dodges the boot to throw Taya down by her hair! Fans fire up and Skye fires off!
Skye runs, Taya reels Skye in to lift and BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO! Skye survives but Taya is having fun now as we go picture in picture.
Taya stalks Skye, kicks her around, and taunts the fans. Skye goes to a corner, Taya drags her up, and bumps her off buckles! Taya stomps Skye, the ref counts, and Taya lets off. Taya swaggers, takes a bow, and then goes corner to corner, to METEORA! Taya drags Skye to a cover, TWO! Skye hangs tough but that annoys Taya. Taya drags Skye around into a seated full nelson. Skye endures, fans rally up, but Taya leans her weight on the hold. Skye fights up, but Taya throws her down by her hair! The ref reprimands, Taya “apologizes,” then goes back for Skye to SLAP her! Taya stomps Skye, swaggers around and mocks the fans.
Skye crawls along ropes, Taya stomps her down! Taya stomps another mudhole in, but lets off as the ref counts. Taya blows a kiss to the fans, then covers Skye, TWO! Taya drags Skye from ropes, stomps the legs, then stomps them some more. Taya has both legs to LEG SPLITTING LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Skye is still in this but Taya slaps her around. Skye rises but Taya pushes her around. Skye fires a forearm! Taya ROCKS Skye in return! Skye comes back, they go back and forth, and then Skye gets the edge! Collision returns to single picture as Skye ducks a shot, Taya ducks a shot, and then Skye SUPERKICKS! But Taya LARIATS!
Fans fire up while both women are down! A standing count starts, Taya sits up at 2 of 10 but then flops back over. Skye rises at 4, and she throws a forearm! Taya hits back! Skye throws another, so Taya throws it back! Fans rally as the forearms go back and forth! Now it’s a hockey fight! Skye runs to SHOTGUN! Taya staggers up, into the SHINING WIZARD! Skye snapmares, but Taya blocks the superkick! Only for Skye to spin and BASEMENT ENZIGURI! Fans fire up while Taya goes to a corner. Skye runs corner to corner, but Taya puts her on the apron. Skye ROCKS Taya, goes up, and CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO!
Taya and Skye stand, and Skye hooks an arm. Taya fights the nelson to spin and shove! Skye comes back to wheelbarrow, but Taya puts her in ropes! To ROUNDHOUSE! Taya runs, to SLIDING GERMAN! Skye flounders and fans fire up as Taya blows another kiss. Taya storms in and runs up on Skye, but Skye SUPERKICKS! And SOBATS! Skye roars and runs, but Taya LARIATS her back down! Taya isn’t done there, she traps Skye’s legs and pushes on the deathlock. Then Taya gets the arms, SURFBOARD STOMP!! Cover, Taya wins!
Winner: Taya Valkyrie, by pinfall
Skye put up one hell of a fight, but Taya puts her stamp on this one! Taya then gets the mic to say, “Oh my gosh, New Jersey! You’re worse than I thought!” Fans boo but Taya says she’s just kidding. Though not really. Things haven’t gone her way lately, but… Tonight, against one of the “homegrown sweethearts,” Taya won! And guess who else has had a victory lately? Britt Baker! “I mean, on Dynamite this past Wednesday, she won. But it was against an extra. I mean, someone that’s kind of, not on our level.” Taya says they’ve all done it, it’s not that special. So how about this? Dynamite in Albany, for the first time ever, La Wera Loca VS DMD! “Come play with me, Britt.”
Taya wants to take on another homegrown AEW star, but will she be able to break The Doctor? Or will Britt get herself a win with meaning behind it?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!

Winner: Ricky Starks & Christian Cage, by pinfall
Punk can’t believe it, but Starks snatches another one! Will absolutely nothing stop Starks from taking over AEW?
My Thoughts:
This was a great Collision, lots of great build for things. Great move having Starks go right to the ring from pulling into the parking lot. Great promo segment that transitioned from him and Punk to bringing in Christian and Darby to set up a great tag team main event. They got a full half hour for that main event and they actually made every minute of it matter. In the end, logical move for Starks to cheat another win, he is going further Heel while also further upsetting Punk. This story with Starks and Punk has got to push Punk to put the red gym bag on the line, as it is supposedly where he put his copy of the AEW World Championship.
Great promos from Bullet Club Gold and the team of Action & Darius to also lead into their match. Action & Darius are strong in ROH but not so much in AEW, so BCG winning makes sense. Kinda thought a team would confront them over beating down Action & Darius after but no, that wasn’t needed because it would bring up another feud when BCG’s story is waiting on the tag titles. Great promo from FTR, though Dax could’ve been more concise about his point. MJF definitely fits the privileged kid profile but I’m not sure about Cole. And I do get Dax’s perspective of not wanting “sports entertainment” in the build. Though he kinda breaks kayfabe by calling those “skits.” That aside, FTR VS Better Than You BAYBAY will be awesome stuff next week.
Really good match from Taya and Skye, and of course Taya wins. Taya calls out Britt, that will be a really good match, and it almost feels like maybe Taya is going to become an Outcast? Sure, she just had a match with Toni Storm, and was the Face by default, but Taya could still join up because she and Toni started seeing eye to eye after their match. And Miro VS Comoroto was great stuff, because one, Comoroto attacking Miro was a great move as no one’s really tried that. But of course Miro wins out, but he’s still biding his time while all singles titles are spoken for. I can only hope Miro goes after whoever is AEW World Champion after All Out to move things into Autumn.
And really good stuff with Andrade, House of Black and The Acclaimed. Andrade being banned from the building so that The House of Black didn’t have to worry about him was a nice detail. Caster starting to tease Buddy about the Rhea-Dom stuff was where I figured he’d go, and the match itself was great stuff. I figured the House of Black would win, but what a surprise for Billy to signal retirement. This is surely for story, but there was some great showing of emotion from The Acclaimed, and of course the fans don’t want Daddy Ass to leave just yet. There could be one last match where it’s titles VS Billy’s career, but I guess we’ll wait and see.
My Score: 8.9/10

Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up.

But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”
Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!
Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission
Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start.

Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall (advance to Full Gear)
Private Party says alright, nice on Acclaimed! Billy helps Caster to his feet, but Caster is a bit squirrely. Caster calms down, and The Acclaimed all SCISSOR FINGER~! They’re in the Fatal 4, but will Caster & Bowens be the ones to become TWO-TIME TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!
Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDTÂ onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.
Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAYÂ on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?
Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEXÂ on the railing!!!
The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZEROÂ on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe.

MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him!

Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low!

Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT!

Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again.

Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
