PLAY BY PLAY

Jack Perry is here!

Fans boo as “Hollywood” Jack Perry leads the way as four men carry the FTW Championship on a palanquin adorned with flowers. Jack did promise he was going to retire this title, so he’s already making this like a funeral. He takes the belt from the palanquin and dismisses the pallbearers to set the belt on the table. Fans boo as Jack gets the mic now, and Jack pretends to be saddened by this occasion of his own making. Fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jack says, “These things are never easy. As the greatest FTW Champion to ever live, I felt a personal responsibility to come out here and say a few nice words about this title.”

Fans boo more as Jack says the FTW Championship was a good title. It had its ups and downs, it was misunderstood at times. And tell you what, this thing grew near and dear to Jack’s heart. Because in 100 years, when people look up FTW in the history books, they’re gonna see Jack’s face right next to it. But instead of being sad that it’s over, let’s remember the good times. Play the tape. A video plays, and it opens with Jack and the title in a hot tub. And the tanning bed. And sunbathing. And in the pool. And the shower?! In the limousines, having a cookout, going for bike rides down the street, and even breakfast in bed.

Jack “gets teared up” seeing all those, and he wipes his eyes and his nose with an orange handkerchief. Fans boo but he says that was beautiful. “What a beautiful legacy that will be left behind by this title, thanks to me.” Fans boo more but Jack says that it is finally time that we send this title to a better place. Jack then brings out a SLEDGEHAMMER! Fans boo as Jack sets the belt down, and raises the hammer! But the lights go down! And a new video plays! HOOK is doing chin-ups with traffic lights! “Jack, you can’t destroy that championship. Because I am the FTW Championship. And the FTW Championship is my bloodline.”

Jack stole something very important from Hook, so he’s coming for what’s his. The lights come back up, and HOOK IS BEHIND JACK!! Jack turns around and fans go nuts as Hook catches him for an EL CAMINO SUPLEX! And then he RAMS Jack into the picture of the FTW title Jack had on display! And then Hook TOSSES Jack over the table, taking the table down with him!! Hook moves the table aside, putting it in a corner! Jack crawls but Hook drags him back up, to TAZZ PLEX through the table!! Fans are thunderous as Hook picks the belt up and drapes it over Jack. Hook gets the mic now, and he says, “Wembley. Sunday.”

Fans fire up, the match has been made! Jack Perry VS Hook for the FTW Championship, once and for all! Will Jack be ready to go All In against the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil?

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Penta El Zero Miedo & Eddie Kingston, by pinfall

The NJPW Strong Openweight Champion finishes it off for this unlikeliest of trio! But now, they must regroup with Chuck Taylor & Trent Beretta in London. Will they survive going All In on the Wembley Stadium Stampede?

Collision returns, and Best Friends have joined their friends!

Chuckie T has the mic to say, “Jon Moxley. Claudio Castagnoli. Santana. Ortiz. Wheeler Yuta.” Trent snatches the mic to say, “You SOBs broke my mom’s van! You disrespected the sweetest little lady who’s ever lived, and you messed up.” Fans chant for “SUE! SUE! SUE!” Trent says he’ll wrap this up: Wembley Stadium for Stadium Stampede, they’re not coming to hug and have fun. NO. Best Friends, Penta & Kingston are coming to hurt you! And they’re gonna do it for Sue. Fans cheer that! Eddie takes the mic, but Cassidy wants his turn first. Eddie says fine, and Cassidy even takes off his sunglasses so this IS serious.

But then The BCC interrupt via the tron! Moxley tells Eddie, “my compadre,” calm down for a second and remember that Eddie made this challenge. Eddie wanted Stadium Stampede, and Eddie said the BCC could pick anyone. So why oh why are you surprised? Santana says “A year of pain, a year of struggle, a year of torture. But most of all, a year of realizing who’s real and who’s not. It all culminates! 80 THOUSAND PEOPLE PLUS! Wembley Stadium, baby. Are y’all ready to walk through the fire? Because we live in it.” Eddie’s ready to go, he gets outta the ring! Eddie’s storming to the back!

Claudio warns Kingston that he used to be on it, but in their second match in AEW, Claudio saw Eddie turn his back on each and every one in the BCC’s team. And if Claudio was a betting man, that in one year’s time, all the people Eddie’s in the ring with now will not be his friends anymore. But hey, that’s not Eddie’s fault, right? It’s never Eddie’s fault! Just blame everybody else for your mistakes! Eddie is a hypocrite, and he knows it! Ortiz says, “A wise man once said, ‘You reap what you sow.'” But uh, Eddie isn’t in the ring! He’s barging into the back! Where are they? The cameramen know, right? Where’d they go?!

The BCC is gone, Eddie starts throwing chairs. He demands to know where the BCC went, but then he talks to the camera. The BCC wants a message? He’s not surprised Santana & Ortiz pulled this. He gets it, he even respects it. But that doesn’t mean he won’t gut them and watch them die in the middle of that ring! And Jon, get outta the way. Eddie knows his beautiful wife and beautiful baby girl, so he doesn’t wanna hurt Jon. Just stay out of the way. Yuta, you’re getting buried. And Claudio, you’re left for last, so he can burn you and scar you forever. And yeah, that’s messed up. Eddie kisses the camera then heads out, will all the Mad King says become reality on Sunday?

AEW hears from the Young Bucks and FTR.

They had their group interview with Renee Paquette, but now each team speaks a bit more candidly about the other. What do Matt & Nick Jackson think of Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood? Matt doesn’t like ’em. Cash says it was 2016 when FTR started making some noise in tag team wrestling, making waves for themselves. Until then, the Bucks were the uncrowned kings of tag team wrestling. Cody Rhodes is the one who came up with “F T R” on the hit YouTube show, Being The Elite. At the time it just meant “Eff” The Revival. Matt chuckles.

Dax says this FTR thing started and that was something that has stuck with Dax because he holds grudges. And now, in 2023, he still hasn’t gotten past it. Nick says of course it made Dax & Cash furious. The Bucks were laughing about it, and they were laughing cuz they knew they were better than The Revival. Cash said The Revival never had to acknowledge The Bucks because the Bucks were taking shots at The Revival, all because The Bucks were finally questioned as the best tag team in the world. That carried over when Dax & Cash came to AEW, and it was the main reason they even did come to AEW.

Wembley Stadium will be the bow on the legacy for Cash & Dax. It is FTR VS Bucks, round 3, for the titles, to finally get to the bottom of who is the best. The biggest show of all time, it is almost intimidating. But at the end, Dax promises he and Cash will be THE absolute best team, bar none. What happens when these two top tier teams finally settle the score?

The Dark Order VS Action Andretti & Darius Martin!

Alongside Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver have found their edge again, ready to cut through the rest of the roster to get back to former glory.

Collision goes picture in picture Reynolds keeps on Action. Reynolds scrapes his sole off Action’s face, then sucker punches Darius! The ref keeps Darius back, allowing Reynolds to CHOKE Action! Reynolds drags Action up, bumps him off buckles, and tags in Silver. Silver and Reynolds mug Action, and Silver throws more heavy hands! Silver UPPERCUTS Action, whips him corner to corner, and then CLOBBERS him! Then he sucker punches Darius! Silver taunts Action, pushes him down, then runs to drop a knee! Cover, TWO! Silver is annoyed but he taunts Action reaching out. Silver then KICKS Action down!

Tag to Reynolds, he has Action on ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Reynolds lets off to run, but Action avoids the straddle attack! Reynolds gets caught up on the ropes! Both men are down but heading for their corners, and Collision goes to break!

AEW shares a post show interview from Dynamite.

Lexi Nair was with Darby Allin & Nick Wayne after their big win on Wednesday, and congratulates Nick on his first win in AEW. However, we did see Christian Cage have some choice words for him in regards to All In. But then AR Fox walked in. Fox apologizes to Nick for everything. But 16 years, it took Fox to get somewhere like AEW. He never thought he would. But when he lost to Orange Cassidy, he just thought everyone lost faith in him, like Darby and the fans. He panicked and snapped. He lost his dad, too. So he can’t give him Bobby Wayne back, but he can give him his word. Fox offers a handshake, but Nick shakes his head.

Nick storms off, Darby says he knows Fox is sorry. Darby takes Fox’s hand to then hurry after Nick. Will Darby get Nick to see things the same way? Or will Fox be the reason Nick stays away from All In?

The Acclaimed meet Billy Gunn in the gym.

Max Caster & Anthony Bowens are happy to see him, and they all scissor finger! Music video time! “Everybody wanna be the badass ’til they have a bad day, ’til they get the backlash, ’til they get the uh-uh, ’til they get the backhand. But we gettin’ back up after every single crash land, after every, single, time. You know that we fightin’ through the pain, movin’ to the top o’ the line. Ain’t nobody messin’ with Acclaimed. It’s the return of the Gunnslinger, the One and Only. Make the House say their prayers, they gettin’ holy. Of course, back on course, it’s from the source. I’m proud to report we’re back at full force.

“Back on the horse, put your back on the bench and we raisin’ the bar. We back at a 10, tension, okay? We only got tired. Blowin’ up the House of Black like Oppenheimer. Billy took his lumps, bumps were just minor. We got your back, B, on the one-liners. Stayin’ on the grind like I stay on beat. Got our hands in the middle like Acclaimed on three. Hey, everybody wanna be the badass ’til they have a bad day, ’til they get the backlash, ’til they get the uh-uh, ’til they get the backhand. But we gettin’ back up after every single crash land, every single time. You know that we fightin’ through the pain, movin’ to the top o’ the line. Ain’t nobody messin’ with Acclaimed.

“House of Black likes to do it in the dark. So we turn your lights, your Hart we pick apart. It’s clap on, clap off, for your entrances. You make the fans go to sleep with your sentences. Platinum took Buddy to his darkest hour. Black out on yo’ ass, now you lost the power. The pretender, pick up on a chain gang. Buddy, you are just a ginger in face paint. Kept the same name, actin’ like it ain’t lame, we clash with your jackass so you train in vain. Bowens, I’ma let you knock Brody King out. Hit him so hard, you gonna knock his NuvaRing out! I can’t understand a thing that he sings ’bout. Straightedge hardcore show? Ugh, kill me now!

“Why you walkin’ to the ring like a séance? You couldn’t draw money with a box of green crayons! And Billy is back to beat Malakai! Break ya bones repeatedly, never let ’em calcify! Think this pussycat needs to start countin’ lives. You ain’t gonna walk away with an ounce of pride! You speak in hushed tones unironically. When you talk on the mic, it sounds like dark comedy. Bet you smell your farts in large quantities! We don’t give a s*it, nah, we don’t give apologies!

“Everybody wanna be the badass ’til they have a bad day, ’til they get the backlash, ’til they get the uh-uh, ’til they get the backhand. But we gettin’ back up after every single crash land, after every, single, time. You know that we fightin’ through the pain, movin’ to the top o’ the line. Ain’t nobody messin’ with Acclaimed.” Another instant classic from Platinum Max, but will he, Bowens & Billy Gunn be golden once and for all?

AEW looks closer at the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way.

Excalibur feels that so far, Hikaru Shida still had the best reign of anyone. Taz points out she was champion during Pandemic Era, so she was competing essentially in front of no one. But now she’s a two-time champion, and Renee Paquette points out the crowd reaction when Shida beat Toni Storm on Dynamite 200. Shida says there is no “crap” in who she is. Meanwhile, Saraya has been on a press tour, Good Morning Britain, to prepare for this match. She hasn’t wrestled in the UK in over 9 years, so there’s a lot of pressure as the hometown girl. Britt Baker says she knows her three opponents better than they know themselves.

Excalibur says Shida, Britt and Storm know what it takes to be on top in AEW. But all four are still four of the best in all of pro-wrestling. Shida says she has more she wants to do with the title. Storm feels that with her two friends out there with her, all will go according to plan. Britt can’t think of anything more than to hold the title again, but Shida says nothing will stop her from still being AEW Women’s World Champion. It’s still anyone’s to win, who comes out on top after going All In?

“Big Bill” Morrissey w/ Ricky Starks VS Vary Morales!

The human tower has The Absolute as his manager, and so far, it’s worked out. Will Starks continue this “war” with AEW he promised? How far will he and Bill go as a destructive duo?

The bell rings and Vary runs in to SHOTGUN! Bill stays up but Vary SHOTGUNS again! Vary kicks and fires hands! Bill shoves Vary, vary ducks ‘n’ dodges and CROSSBODIES, but Bill catches him! And pops him up to a trophy lift! Then DROPS him! That’s a good ten foot drop right there! Bill sits Vary up and shouts, “You wanna hit me?! HUH!?” Bill drags Vary up by hs head to then SWING him around, and THROW him down! Bill then runs in to SPLASH at the corner! Vary wobbles and falls over, but Bill isn’t done with him! Bill drags Vary up, to whip and BOOT!! Starks says this is just too easy.

Bill drags Vary up, brings him around, and then choke grips! Bill lifts Vary up, walks around with him, then hits the SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM!! Cover, Bill wins!

Winner: “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall

Starks says he told us so, and then he joins Bill in the ring. Starks gets a mic to say, “Cut the music!” Fans boo but Starks says, “I see you, Sticky Ricky. Hey, that was a great effort. You remind me of a young Steamboat. But lemme remind you what I did to Steamboat.” HE LASHES VARY! Aw, sorry, sorry, he’s not feeling it. So how ’bout this? Next week, Starks will have an even bigger strap. But for now, this will do. Bill stands on Vary’s hand so he can’t get away, as Starks LASHES him again and again and again! More refs rush in, he tells them, “I’m sorry, Milk Dud, and I’m sorry Whatever Your Name Is woman.” He tells Bill, “Let’s get outta here.”

Fans boo as Starks & Bill head out, but will there be consequences for the continued out-of-line behavior?

Backstage interview with Ruby Soho.

Lexi Nair is with the Runaway and says as of late, she’s been after the TBS Champion, Kris Statlander. Just last night on Rampage, Ruby and Kris kinda… crossed paths, if you will. Ruby says that apparently she wasn’t clear with Kris, so she’ll spell it out. Ruby tells Kris that she is challenging for the TBS Championship in Chicago at All Out, and she will beat her, again. Because Kris may be #MoreThanAWoman, but she will always be less than an Outcast! Ruby has issued her warning and her challenge, will she and the Galaxy’s Greatest tear it up in the Windy City?

Willow Nightingale VS Robyn Renegade w/ Charlette Renegade!

The Babe with the Power, the 2023 Queen of Harts, has been fighting for her own title opportunities, but the same can be said for both Renegade Twins. Robyn has been stirring up trouble in ROH, will she start some trouble here on Collision? Or will Willow put her own stamp on the AEW Women’s Division?

The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Willow and Robyn go around, Robyn waistlocks but Willow pries the hold open. Willow switches, SLAMS Robyn down, and fans fire up!

But Willow goes to the apron! She shouts, and PENALTY KICKS Charlette! Robyn grabs at Willow’s leg, and she trips Willow up! Rough landing on the apron, and Willow gets in the ring. Robyn helps Charlette up, then goes into the ring as Collision goes picture in picture.

Robyn runs in at the corner to SPLASH, then she fires off forearms! Robyn stomps a mudhole in but the ref counts. Robyn digs her boots in, lets off at 4, and she distracts the ref so Charlette can CHOKE Willow! Robyn then runs side to side to BOOT WASH! Robyn drags Willow up, snapmares, and covers, ONE!! Willow is tough, fans rally up, and Robyn scowls. Robyn drags Willow up, CLUBS away on her, but Willow hits back! Robyn CLUBS Willow again and has her on ropes.

A big win for Willow, and she is more than ready for a title opportunity! Will she be aiming for that AEW Women’s World Championship the moment All In is over?

AEW takes a closer look at Miro VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs.

A battle of philosophies and fury is coming for All Out in Chicago. Taz says there is no fear in Hobbs, and no fear in Miro, “so to see these two massive gladiators collide, it’s gonna be epic.” Hobbs says Miro can pray to whatever deity he believes in now, go to the Great Redeemer to get that strength he needs to believe he can win. Excalibur says Hobbs is among that 1% of people who could not only hold his own against Miro, but he could take the fight and beat Miro. Will anyone be able to believe what they’re gong to see between these two behemoths?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Lexi is with the TBS Champion and asks her about what Ruby Soho said earlier tonight, calling her out for the title at All Out. Kris will address the reason behind her actions last night on Rampage first. Kris is so sick of the Outcasts! Of them taking advantage of others, of them constantly playing games and acting like children. If Ruby wants to act like a child, then Mama Kris will treat her like one. Mama Kris is gonna take little Ruby, snatch her up, bring her upstairs and put her in timeout. Kris is so sick and tired of everyone thinking they can walk all over each other! Kris is sick and tired of being stepped on and disrespected! She is the TBS Champion!

“So if you wanna call me out, I’m gonna take you out, and I will see you at All Out.” The Galaxy’s Greatest is all fired up, will she burn The Runaway down?

Keith Lee VS Zicky Dice!

The Limitless One is back in action, ready to finally break through to that next level in AEW. Will nothing hold him back as we approach All In and All Out? Or will he roll the Dice and lose?

La Faccion Ingobernable has another video.

Last we saw, Rush had Jose help kidnap his own brother, Dralistico, and Perro Peligroso, Preston Vance! Now Rush’s faceless minions beat them down while they can’t defend themselves! Dralistico is furious but Vance is bloodied, so they keep pounding on him! They talk some smack on him, but Vance grins. And breaks free of the ropes! Vance fights but the biggest minion of all CHOKES him against a pillar! But Dralistico makes his move, and he busts the others up with a crowbar! Then BRICK for the big man! Big man stays standing, so Vance BUSTS him down with some plaster!

LFI mugs the big man and chokes him out with a chain! They fist bump, but what was the purpose of all this? And that’s when Jose walks in, applauding. The video says “To be continued…” Is this only the beginning of a new chapter for LFI?

Samoa Joe is here!

Fans fire up for the ROH World Television Champion as he makes his way out. Before Joe and CM Punk battle for the “Real” World Championship, Joe’s gonna be on commentary for this star studded main event! However, Joe gets a mic to address the crowd first. “My name is Samoa Joe, your ever-present King of Television. And sometimes, I’m amazed at how little the powers at be here in AEW think of me. Because this morning, I was informed that if tonight, I interfere in anyway in our star-studded multi-man main event, I would jeopardize my newly won opportunity this week at All In.” Fans boo but Joe says he took that to heart.

Joe is proactive. Instead of being in the back, he volunteered his expert services to commentary so he can be ringside where we can all keep our eyes on him. Fans cheer that! And despite the fact that CM Punk, that coward, dressed up “in a golden diaper” and struck Joe last week…! Joe “will remain a professional.” Understand that he is a man who is satisfied, who has gotten what he needs, who got the match that he wanted from CM Punk. So Sunday at All In, Joe will hand Punk the ass whipping he so desperately needs. Fans cheer as Joe takes his seat at commentary, will he keep his word with his prey so close at hand?

My Thoughts:

A pretty good Collision, but mostly a lot of “just because” in-ring stuff. Though in this episode’s defense, being prerecorded on Wednesday after AEW already did Dynamite AND Rampage, because All In on Sunday is in another country, makes for a messy go-home show. And while a very good segment, Jack Perry’s “funeral” for the FTW Championship being moved to Saturday makes sense after the loss of Terry Funk and subsequent loss of Bray Wyatt. Jack Perry and the FTW belt in all those pictures was so stupid and yet so hilarious at the same time. And naturally, Hook made his return here. I guess the FTW Championship match under FTW Rules for the Zero Hour is fine, but I would’ve liked if this was on the All Out card so we could get one more week of build.

Great tag match from Dark Order VS Action & Darius, great win for Silver & Reynolds. But with all this time since Death Before Dishonor and them getting that new edge, Dark Order hasn’t gotten people to join them. That needs to happen like next week. Then these guys can start taking over AEW and ROH. Acclaimed had a great rap video, as always. Though the line about farts kinda took all the seriousness out of it, but hey, Acclaimed is probably still taking those trios titles. Caster, Bowens & Billy will make great trios champs, and if it’s the Dark Order that comes around after them, that should be a really good feud of AEW Homegrown talent.

Keith Lee of course crushes Zicky Dice, I really hope Keith gets in on something title related after All In and/or All Out. NXT and HHH showed faith in Keith’s abilities, Vince McMahon screwed things up on RawDown, so c’mon, AEW. Third time is the charm, give Keith a title in AEW. Great Six Man Tag of Cassidy, Penta & Kingston VS Kip and the Superbad Squad, and really good promos from everyone involved in the Stadium Stampede match. Eddie storming off to go after BCC & PNP was a good detail, and of course those five weren’t there. That video could’ve been recorded earlier and it was just a way to anger Eddie. No idea who wins the Stadium Stampede, but it’s gonna be wild either way.

Soho and Kris have really good promos, but as I said before, just a shame that they’re moving the TBS Championship story away from what was building between Kris, Willow, Mercedes & Diamante. Mercedes & Diamante still watching Willow VS Robyn was a good detail, and Willow got a good match and win against Robyn. Maybe it boils down to a Triple Threat #1 Contender’s match of Willow VS Mercedes VS Diamante, winner faces champ after we see Kris VS Soho at All Out. And good vignette for the Women’s World Championship, and I’m still torn on who wins. If it isn’t Saraya as new champ, I feel like Shida might as well retain. But now, with Soho possibly taking the TBS title from Kris, it’d be an interesting story to see Saraya & Soho holding onto gold and Storm with nothing to win.

Good squash win for Big Bill, and Starks whipping away on Vary is a good follow-up on what he did to Steamboat, even with his suspension done in just over a week. As I said last time, there’s a chance Starks & Bill stick together as a tag team, but I wouldn’t mind Starks bringing in more “clients” as a player-coach type of manager. That said, get Lee Moriarty in on this. Lee and Bill had a good combo going in ROH, why not give that some real screen time? Speaking of screen time, why have another promo vignette for Bucks and FTR? AEW has their “Countdown” special for that. Though, do they just assume no one’s gonna watch that? Seems like bad form to me.

Great 8 Man Tag main event, especially with Joe on commentary. And I wonder if the Heel team in this 8 Man has set the record for corner men. Nana, Christian, and the whole Bang Bang Gang for five people on the outside not even part of the match. A bit torn on Hook being the fourth member of the Face team. Obviously he’s part of All In now cuz he’s facing Jack Perry. And it’s not like anyone from The Elite was gonna join in since Punk’s on the team. I guess the fun of the surprise was taken away by how the segment with Jack and Hook was moved from Dynamite to Collision given real-life circumstances of Terry Funk’s passing. But hey, great spot for Hook, great win for the Faces, and then great chaotic brawl that really capped things off nicely.

Joe stands tall on Punk so Punk is retaining his “world title,” and I would think Hook wins back the FTW title just so Jack can’t try to destroy it again. Harder to get a read on the other matches, but that promo from Darby, Nick Wayne and AR Fox really leads me to imagine a worst case scenario where Nick Wayne betrays Darby because he can’t forgive Fox. And I get that, because Fox did some messed up stuff while with Swerve. If only All In and All Out weren’t just a week apart, we could’ve had so much more build on this story.

My Score: 8.7/10
