Bryan Danielson speaks.

“Strap Match, Texas Death Match, technical match, and tonight, I get in the ring with a 24-year-old stud! Man, I’ve been wrestling longer than he’s been alive. But tonight, I’m gonna teach him a lesson that comes from within here.”

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

“The amount of mental uncertainty I’ve gone through this past week is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. And now, without a moment’s notice, I am given not just the biggest opportunity of my career but my life! And tonight, against Bryan Danielson, I am going to show up, stand on my own two feet, and show out, baby.” Will the Aussie Arrow be able to shoot down the American Dragon?

Ricky Starks & “Big Bill” speak.

The Absolute says, “Tonight is an example of when two motivated and frustrated individuals get together and take on the self-proclaimed greatest tag team in the world. Heh, we are gonna be the NEW AEW Tag Team Champions.” Big Bill says The Guys, OUT. Will Starks and his skyscraper throw FTR off their thrones?

Eddie Kingston speaks.

“Tonight, Komander, you get a shot at the ROH World Championship. My man, you may think that’s an honor for you, but it’s not. It’s gonna be straight pain. Get ready, time for you to prove yourself.” Will the Mad King keep both his crowns here tonight?

FTR speaks.

Cash Wheeler says he’s, “Banged up, bruised up, fractured rib, it doesn’t matter. It’s Saturday night, and we don’t say no to a fight.” Dax Harwood adds that this is the life they chose and they ain’t stopping. Still your AEW Tag Team Champions, #TopGuysOut.

AEW World Tag Team Championships: FTR VS Ricky Starks & “Big Bill” Morrissey!

Speaking of that fight, they’re getting right to it! Cash & Dax were on the losing side of the WrestleDream All-Star 8 Man Tag, with the Absolute & Skyscraper hitting a powerful combo. Will Starks & Morrissey hit that same combo again to take these titles? Or will Cash & Dax come through on their promise?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if Ricky & Bill take the Top Guys out!

Starks tags Bill in and Bill UPPERCUTS Dax down! Dax staggers up but Bill clotheslines him up and out! Fans boo while FTR is down on the outside. The ring count starts but Bill storms out to fetch Dax. Fans rally for “FTR! FTR!” but Starks says get Cash first.

Bill agrees, and he clears the desk! Nigel and Ian clear out, Bill tells Doc Sampson to back off, and then he choke grips Cash. CHOKE SLAM through the desk! Fans lose their minds as Bill looms over Cash in the wreckage. Bill then puts Dax in the ring, and Dax crawls away to a corner. The ref reprimands but Bill just soaks up the heat. Bill runs in but Dax avoids the splash! Dax DECKS Starks, dodges Bill, and fans fire up! Dax snarls, gets Bill’s big legs, and steps through! Bill blocks the Sharpshooter, BOOTS Dax away, then BOOTS him down! Fans boo but Bill just soaks it all up. Bill then choke grips, to SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM!

Bill wants to cover but Starks says do that again! Fans boo but Bill likes Starks’ way of thinking. SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Starks wants that “One more time! One more time, go up!” Bill grins, and he drags Dax up again. Bill choke grips to SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM!! Wait… Starks wants that one more time…! Bill UPPERCUTS Dax, tags Starks, and they coordinate, ABSOLUTE SPEAR!!! Cover, Starks & Bill win!!

The American Dragon was victorious against Zack Sabre Jr. at WrestleDream while Aussie Open lost to the then AEW World Tag Team Champions, FTR.

Backstage interview with Ricky Starks & Big Bill.

Tony Schiavone is with the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, and that was a shocker to open the show. Bill says they went out there with “the best tag team in the world,” and whooped their asses. Bill & Ricky show up to work week after week after week, looking like stars. They walk like stars, they talk like stars and they act like stars. So it is about damn time the AEW Tag Division was represented by some stars. Starks says damn right. And Starks tells FTR they are NOT getting a rematch! Nope, nope, nope. Get that idea of of your heads now. As far as Starks & Bill go, they are the ones everyone wants to go after. They are the real faces of Collision!

When you talk about Starks & Bill, you better do it with respect! They are the new top dogs of AEW, so top dogs out. Then with the Young Bucks next in line, will they have something to say about who runs things?

Six Man Tag: Bullet Club Gold VS Gravity, Metalik & Angelico w/ Serpentico!

The Bang Bang Gang got the drop on MJF on Dynamite, still convinced that it was the AEW World Champion behind the assault on Jay White. But while the Switchblade wears Triple B (which he stole), will Juice Robinson & The Gunns make their way up the ranks towards the AEW Trios Championships? Or will the Astronaut, the King of the Ropes and the South African Submission Specialist prove they can be a top trio?

The teams sort out and Austin starts against Gravity. Austin snatches Angelico’s hat and wears it while mocking Gravity’s space walk. Austin punts the hat, but then fans taunt him as the “ASS~ BOY!” Gravity space walks up to Austin, raises his hands, and then Austin mocks him again. Gunns SUCKER PUNCH! Austin mocks the space walk as he stalks Gravity to a corner, stands him up, and whips him corner to corner. Gravity goes up and over, things speed up and Gravity handsprings to arm-drag! And arm-drag again! Gravity has a cording hold, wrenches to a wristlock, then space walks his way to the corner.

Metalik tags in but Austin scrambles away to tag Juice. Juice uses his chest to bump Metalik and intimidate him, but Metalik shoves back. Juice scoops, Metalik slips free and kicks. Metalik whips, Juice reverses and avoids the handspring back elbow. Juice swings, misses and Metalik mule kicks! Metalik ROCKS Juice, whips corner to corner, but Juice reverses. Juice runs in but into a BOOT! SLING-DOG! Metalik covers, ONE, but Metalik wrenches an arm. Tag to Angelico and he takes the handoff to wrench. Angelico wrenches, traps both arms and Juice is frustrated as Angelico taunts the Gunns.

Juice knees low, but Angelico keeps on the double armlock! Tag to Gravity and he goes up to DOUBLE STOMP Juice’s arms! Fans fire up and Gravity brings Juice up. Juice knees low but fans rally for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” Colten tags in and he DROPKICKS Gravity! Colten talks trash but fans boo, so Colten pushes him to rain down forearms! Colten soaks up heat while Collision goes picture in picture.

Collision drags Gravity up while Austin tells fans to “SUCK IT!” Colten bumps Gravity off buckles, keeps him standing up, and then bumps him off buckles again. Tag to Austin and he CLUBS Gravity in the back! Gravity flounders while Austin taunts the fans, then Austin DECKS Gravity! Austin mocks Gravity reaching for his corner, then stomps Gravity down. Austin brings Gravity over, bumps him off buckles and tags in Juice. Juice reels Gravity in for a short arm LARIAT! Juice flexes and stalks Gravity to a corner. Juice wrenches and whips corner to corner, then runs in, but into a BOOT!

Juice comes back, Gravity ELBOWS him! But Juice avoids the Quebrada! Gravity flounders up into a LEG LARIAT! Then Juice BLASTS Metalik just because, and Collision goes to break!

Collision returns as Juice throws Gravity down by his mask! The ref reprimands but Juice just pumps up. Fans rally and duel, Juice stands Gravity up to JAB! JAB! And JAB! LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Austin wants in now? Juice sighs and tags Austin in, and he brings Gravity up. Austin JABS! JABS! And JABS! Fans taunt the ‘ASS! BOY!” as he does his dance and DECKS Gravity! Colten wants in now! Tag to Colten and he drags Gravity up. But then Gravity falls over, so Colten has to get him up again. Gravity falls again, then drags Colten into a cradle! TWO!! Colten swings, misses, hot tag to Angelico!

Angelico rallies on the Gunns and fans fire up! Juice swings, misses, but jumps the sweep only for Angelico to hit the EDDY GORDO! Juice falls, Angelico trips Colten and ties up the legs! Fans fire up but Austin staggers up. Austin swings, but Angelico catches him and hooks him up! COBRA TWIST DEATHLOCK COMBO! White protests, but Juice runs in to stop, and then shout “EAT IT!” LEFT HAND O’ GOD!! Down goes Angelico and the Gunns are free! Juice DECKS Metalik for good measure, too! Gravity is up, Juice run sin but Gravity dumps him out! But then Austin CLOBBERS Gravity! Juice whips Gravity hard into railing!

Angelico sends Austin into Colten, hot tag to Metalik! Metalik springboards to CROSSBODY the Ass Boys! Fans fire up as Metalik whips but Austin reverses. Metalik goes up and around to FLYING RANA! Colten kicks low, whips, but Metalik reverses. Juice tags as Colten goes up and over, and Metalik turns around into 3:10 TO YUMA!! Juice gleefully brings Metalik up, reels him in, JUICE IS LOOSE!! Cover, BCG wins!

Winners: Bullet Club Gold, by pinfall

The Bang Bang Gang managed to shoot at those who outdrew them and are rolling in the Trios Division! White gets a mic to say they’re missing someone. Who? Cardblade! They hurry to get the cardboard cutout of Switchblade and now the whole gang is here! The Collision Cowboys are back, but this time, they’re not emptyhanded, are they? No, this time they’ve got some GOLD~! Fans boo but White apologizes, #GunsUp for Salt Lake City! But this is too easy. Now for “Your Scumbag,” MJF. Fans chant for “M J F! M J F!” but White tells them to hush. Then he tells Max that we need a truly elite champion, and that ain’t MJF.

White also said he would lead by example, so grab a pen and paper to take some notes. First, White is here! He is here with the AEW World Championship, and where is MJF? At home nursing his wounds? Or at Adam Cole’s house to nurse his wounds? Either way, White expected MJF to care, at least a little bit, about Triple B. White expected MJF to at least try and get the belt back. Isn’t this what matters most to him in the world? Example 2: a champion needs challengers! White calls out Hangman Adam Page for Title Tuesday!

And White wants to remind Hangman that the record between them is 3-0, including Forbidden Door 1 when White beat Hangman, Okada and Cole in the same night! So Hangman hasn’t earned a shot, the match will be non-title. What do they call it here? Austin excitedly answers that it’s an Eliminator! Yes, their match can be an AEW World Title Eliminator! But in the end, Hangman will do what he always does: Breathe with the Switchblade, making this 4-0 in White’s favor! So MJF, sit back, relax and take notes, because White has this, and he does it better than you, and everybody knows it!

Fans boo but White says that’s perfect. If you ain’t down with that, they have two words for ya: GUNS UP! White is taking shots at everyone, but will he be the one with some Buckshot in his face on Tuesday?

Nick Wayne speaks.

“I’ve known Darby Allin since I was 8 years old. He was like the older brother I never had. And then one day in 2015, you just got up and left. For all those years, when I was 10 to 11 years old, I always wondered, ‘When is Darby gonna come back? When is Darby gonna reach out to me again?’ I did this on my own. It felt like I was in the shadow of Darby Allin. It was always Nick Wayne & Darby Allin, just like it was always Adam (Edge) & Christian Cage.” So for all that time that Darby abandoned Nick, Nick knew the best way to get back at him for that missing time was to join Darby’s biggest enemy.

And in just one week under Christian’s learning tree, Nick realized Christian is the father figure he always needed. And because Darby wasn’t there for Nick, Nick isn’t going to be there for Darby.

AEW World Trios Championships: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn VS The Iron Savages & Jacked Jameson!

The Scissor World Tour continues on from WrestleDream and Dynamite, but runs right into the Savage Sanctuary! Will Dirty Bulk Bronson, Beefcake Boulder and their savage sensei be sipping sauce and wearing gold? Or will they just be the biggest win on the list?

Jameson says they were sipping on Savage Sauce and they want the Acclaimed! They’re gonna flex, fight and EAT DAT A- Wait, what? The champs make their entrances and Max Caster has a diss track response! “Acclaimed in Salt Lake, we the Salt of the Earth. These guys are big, but they small with the girth! Even worse, y’all, we’ll have ya fightin’ for your lives. We smash all three b*tches like a Mormon guy! Iron Savages, you so hazardous. Probably got pinkeye from all the dirty ass you kiss! Yo, we killin’ the game. In Utah, everybody loves The Acclaimed.”

Anthony Bowens takes the mic to say, “SAAALT LAAAKE CITAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” And he does! But Billy wants us to understand, “For the millions (and millions!) of people at home, we have been Trios Champs for…” FORTY-ONE DAYS! The belts are raised, and we see if the scissors are strong enough to cut through all this meat!

The trios sort out and Billy starts against Jameson. Jameson flexes, and dares Billy to show what he’s got. Fans boo Jameson, and sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” Billy smiles and off comes the shirt! Billy is jacked, too! But then Jameson fires hands! Jameson bumps Billy off buckles, tags Bronson, and Bronson throws hands. The ref counts, Bronson brings Billy out and talks trash, but Billy ROCKS Bronson! Billy runs but Bronson runs him over! Bronson fires up, and he sees Daddy Ass’s, well, ass! Billy wants it raw! HIP DROP, then ELBOW DROP! Bronson pumps up, brings Billy around, and “I’M GONNA BUST!”

Bowens covers, TWO! Bowens waits as Bronson sits up, and he ROCKS him! Bronson ROCKS Bowens, and they go back and forth! Bowens ROCKS Bronson but Bronson kicks low.

Bowens bails out but Bronson is on him with a SPLASH! Caster storms up and Bronson backs off, and the ref has Caster back off. Bronson puts Bowens in for Boulder and Boulder CLUBS Bowens down! Boulder TOSSES Bowens to the corner, runs in and ELBOWS him down! Bowens sputters, crawls, but Boulder stands over him. Boulder grabs the hand, bends the scissor fingers, then lets off to taunt Caster & Billy. But Bowens fires off the Five Tool Strike Fest! Only for Boulder to CLOBBER him! Tag to Jameson and he drags Bowens into the drop zone. Springboard KNEE DROP! Tag to Bronson and he drags Bowens up.

Bronson scoops Bowens to SLAM him, then calls his shot. Bronson sets up to STANDING HIP DROP! Cover, TWO! Bronson keeps on Bowens with a chinlock and grinds Bowens down. Bowens fights up, throws body shots, and fires forearms! Bowens runs but Bronson CLBOBERS him! Bronson RAMS Bowens into the corner, tags Boulder, and Bronson whips Boulder in to SPLASH! Bowens falls and Boulder taunts him. Bowens crawls along the ropes, Boulder fires up and runs in, but Bowens dumps him out! Boulder flounders, Bowens crawls, but Jameson grabs a leg! Collision returns to single picture as Bowens ENZIGURIS Jameson down!

Fans fire up as Bowens keeps crawling, but Bronson runs in to SENTON Bowens down! Boulder is back in, he drags Bowens up, and scoop SLAMS! Boulder DECKS Billy for the hell of it, mocking the Ass Man! Fans boo but Boulder has Bowens in a drop zone. Boulder says he’s gonna flip, and gives us a few swivels before he jumps up. BEEFCAKE MOONSAULT FLOPS as Bowens moves! Fans fire up as Bowens crawls again! Hot tags to Jameson and Caster! Platinum Max rallies on the Savages! Fans fire up as Caster CHOPS, SUPERKICKS and Jameson falls! CHOP and SUPER- NO, Bronson blocks! But Caster fireman’s carries!? DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!

Fans fire up but Boulder pulls down the straps! Boulder runs, into a SUPERKICK! Caster fireman’s carries Boulder!? DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! Fans are thunderous as Caster shows his own savage strength!

Bronson gets up but Billy DECKS him! Jameson staggers up into THE ARRIVAL! Caster goes up, for the MIC DROP!! Cover, The Acclaimed win!

Winners: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)

A savage battle indeed, but the Scissor World Tour continues! Who will be next to step up and get cut down?

AEW hears from Shane Taylor and Keith Lee.

Big Bad Shaney T says, “Second place means NOTHING in this world. Keith Lee, in 2015 when we teamed up and made The Pretty Boy Killers, that was our goal: to be the very best.” The Limitless One tells “Mr. Taylor, the leader of Shane Taylor Promotions, I have been stuck on something that you said to me. That you would put me in the ground to feed your family. You need to understand something: I am what feeds your family. I’m the one that you think you can make your name with.”

Shane says Keith got the opportunities and thinks Shane is upset about that, but Shane doesn’t give a DAMN about those! What pisses Shane off is that people think Keith is BETTER because of it! Keith says Shane is so sure of himself, which Keith actually applauds. However… This will be Shane’s undoing. “Run.” Keith gives his ultimatum to Shane, will Shane heed his words? Or will he #BaskInHisGlory?

“Timeless” Toni Storm VS Kiera Hogan!

The former Outcast has said it herself, she is then, now and forever! She is timeless! But will her time in the spotlight end much sooner than she thinks? Or will The Lightning From Down Under be burned by the Hottest Flame, PERIODT?

Toni gives commentary a script? What? Well, the audience is still “enthralled” like Toni wants. The bell rings and Toni gives Kiera her script? Kiera reads it, and there isn’t a lot there. Well she can do this. NOT! Kiera rips up the script and throws it back at Toni! So Toni CLOBBERS Kiera! Toni stomps Kiera around and fans rally behind her. Toni runs, Kiera goes up and over, then ducks ‘n’ dodges to SLAP Toni! And SPANKS her! Kiera taunts Toni, drop toeholds her to ropes, and HIP ATTACKS! Kiera YANKS Toni down, BUZZSAWS and SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Kiera storms around and brings Toni up.

Toni escapes the scoop to throw Kiera by her hair! Fans cheer as Toni drags Kiera up, and TOSSES her by her hair again! The ref reprimands but Toni brings Kiera up to THROW her by her hair again! Toni says kiss this, and then runs side to side. Kiera avoids the hip attack to CHOP the butt! And CHOP! And DOUBLE CHOP! Toni flounders, Kiera goes up and Kiera CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Toni is still in this but Kiera stalks her to the corner. Fans chant for “TIMELESS TONI!” but Kiera runs in, into a drop toehold into buckles! Toni stomps Kiera to the apron, then runs to HIP WASH Kiera to the floor! Toni even cues us to picture in picture!

Toni goes out to fetch Kiera, and CHOPS her right in front of her fans. Toni thanks the ref before she CHOPS Kiera again! Toni again fusses with the ref before she goes around and CHOPS Kiera against the announce desk! Kiera staggers, Toni keeps on her, and holds up her hand so the fans can all cheer. Toni bops the ref on the head before she runs in, only for Kiera to dodge! Toni hits railing, and Kiera CHOPS Toni’s butt again! And again! Toni scrambles under the ring but Kiera drags her back. Kiera DOUBLE CHOPS the butt! Kiera refreshes the ring count, puts Toni against railing, and CHOPS!

Toni scrambles into the ring, Kiera hurries in, but Toni BOOTS her down! Toni stands on Kiera in the corner, the ref counts, but Toni climbs up to dramatically pose. Then she BANZAI DROPS on Kiera! Toni rains down fists, drags Kiera up, and snap suplexes! Toni is in control as Collision goes to break.

Collision returns as the fans cheer for Toni. Toni runs in at Kiera but into an ELBOW! Kiera then BOOTS, goes up a corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Direct hit and Toni flounders to the other corner. Kiera fires up, says kiss this, and she runs in to steal SWEET HIP MUSIC! And BOOT WASH! Cover, TWO! Toni survives and Kiera grows frustrated. Kiera sits Toni up, runs, but Toni grabs her for a SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO!! Kiera survives and Toni glares at the ref. The ref defends his count, and Toni says, “How dare you!” But Kiera rolls her up! TWO, and Kiera kicks the legs out, to BUZZSAW again! Kiera runs, to hop up and LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!!

Toni is still in this and Kiera pulls at her hair in frustration. Fans rally for Toni but Kiera brings her up. Toni wrenches out, gets around, and BITES Kiera’s butt!! It’s revenge for earlier! Then Toni GERMAN SUPLEXES! Toni’s ready for her close-up! Toni grins and runs in, to SWEET HIP MUSIC!! And then STORM ZERO! Cover, Storm wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall

And scene! It didn’t go as Toni wrote it, but sometimes scripts have to be changed for what is possible. Will Timeless Toni still make herself an award-winning leading lady in AEW?

Backstage interview with Ruby Soho.

Renee Paquette is with The Runaway and says unfortunately, she lost to Hikaru Shida in their AEW Women’s World Championship #1 contender’s match. Shida goes on to face Saraya on Title Tuesday, so where does that leave Ruby? Ruby says Renee has eyes and doesn’t need glasses, so she could clearly see that Ruby had Shida pinned on the mat, if not for Shida and her fat fingers knocking out the ref. Ruby would be facing her girl, Saraya, for the AEW Women’s World title. But Ruby is not, and she is okay, because she will be ringside- Um, Renee was informed by management that Ruby is banned from ringside.

What? Banned from ringside for that match? Really? Where does that even come from? Well, f-fine, Ruby’s not upset anyway, she’s cool. She’s cool as a cucumber. Because Saraya doesn’t need Ruby. There is a reason Saraya is the AEW Women’s World Champion, and that is because she is the most dominant force in this industry. And she is gonna stay that way after she beats “that freak,” Shida, on Title Tuesday. Will the Knight be able to stop the Samurai without her fellow Outcast? Or will Title Tuesday be even more historic by seeing a THREE-TIME AEW Women’s Champion crowned?

ROH World Championship: Eddie Kingston VS Komander!

The Mad King put up both his belts against Katsuyori Shibata at WrestleDream and came out the victor, but the challenges don’t stop coming. The Commander won this opportunity just last night on Rampage, will he add another belt to his own collection? Or will Eddie be the only double champion around here?

The introductions are made, the ROH belt is raised, and we see what happens when champions collide!

The bell rings and fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and Eddie shoves Komander away. Komander keeps cool, comes back, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but Eddie shoves Komander away again. Fans rally and duel, the two go again, and Eddie wrenches an arm. Eddie WRINGS Komander, Komander kips up and arm-drags! Fans cheer as Eddie and Komander reset. They circle, rush in, and Komander dodges, but Eddie blocks the Monkey Flip. Komander avoids the chop, rolls but the headscissor is denied! But Komander arm-drags from below! Komander dodges another chop, and fans cheer the standoff.

The two reset again, tie up, and Komander arm-drags! Eddie bails out so Komander builds speed, but Eddie just walks away. Komander stops himself, Eddie comes back but Komander kicks. Komander whips, Eddie reverses but Komander reels Eddie in for an IRON OCTOPUS! Fans rally, Komander drags Eddie down to a GROUND OCTOPUS! Eddie endures, even as Komander pushes the arm back. Eddie reaches out, pushes Komander down and has the ROPEBREAK! Komander lets off quickly and fans rally up. Komander knuckle locks Eddie, CHOPS, but Eddie CHOPS back! Fans fire up as Komander staggers back.

Eddie runs in to clothesline, and then he MACHINE GUN CHOPS! Fans fire up as Eddie then clinches to EXPLODER! Eddie snarls and storms around as Collision goes picture in picture.

Eddie stomps Komander, stomps him some more, then clamps on a chinlock. Eddie grinds the hold, and even pulls back, but Komander endures. Komander headscissors, holds tight as Eddie moves around, but Eddie powers out and CHOPS Komander down! Eddie brings Komander around to suplex, but Komander blocks! Eddie keeps trying but Komander keeps blocking. Eddie powers through to suplex Komander up and over! Eddie snarls, he stomps Komander, then CHOPS him! Komander goes to ropes, Eddie CHOPS him again! Komander dodges a chop to fire body shots and fast hands! Komander ROCKS Eddie!

Komander goes to scoop but Eddie blocks that. Eddie CHOPS Komander in the corner, then HEADBUTTS him down! Eddie brings Komander up in a facelock and he squeezes tight! Eddie grinds Komander down to the mat, but Komander fights up. Collision returns to single picture as fans rally, and Eddie CHOPS Komander down again! Komander roars as he stands back up! So Eddie CHOPS him again! Komander refuses to fall, then he dodges to KICK, ROCK and run! Eddie sidesteps, Komander springboards, TORNILLO CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Eddie is still in this, he ducks a buzzsaw but the HEEL KICK hits!

Komander then RUNNING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, TWO! Eddie is still in this but now Komander runs, to baseball slide dropkick Eddie out of the ring! Fans fire up as Komander goes to the far corner. Komander runs along the apron to FLY over the corner! Direct hit and down goes Eddie! Fans fire up as Komander brings Eddie up and puts him in the ring. Komander climbs the corner now, and fans fire up for the DOUBLE JUMP 450!! Cover, TWO!! Eddie survives and fans fire up! Komander keeps his cool and he resets on the corner. Komander stands but Eddie SLAPS him first! Eddie then CHOPS!

Komander wobbles up top, Eddie goes up but Komander CHOSP! Eddie CHOSP! Komander CHOPS! Eddie fires forearms but Komander gives them back! So Eddie fires HEADBUTT after HEADBUTT! Eddie brings Komander up to SUPER- CROSSBODY COUNTER!! Cover, TWO!!! Eddie survives and Komander is beside himself! Komander watches Eddie rise, then he runs in, but Eddie clinches! URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Komander survives but Eddie hauls him right up to LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Komander survives again, and “This is Awesome!” Eddie powers up and the fans are with him!

Eddie brings Komander up, URA- NO, Komander ducks, handsprings, but into another clinch! But Komander spins it to a TORNADO DDT!! Cover, TWO!! LA MAGISTROL, TWO! Eddie has a cover, TWO! URAKEN!!! Cover, Eddie wins!

Winner: Eddie Kingston, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)

The Mad King is a fighting champion, and is still a double champion! And perhaps best of all, he shows respect to Komander for bringing the fight. But now he knows Jay Lethal is out there wanting his shot, will the former ROH Grand Slam winner get his shot at the crown? And what about NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed on the 28th? Will Eddie survive the Face of Fury in Las Vegas?

BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!

It may only be Saturday, but AEW already has something planned for next Friday! After the brawl to protect Bryan Danielson, Claudio & Yuta are going to take on The Gates of Agony in tag team action! Will the Blackpool Combat Club put the Mogul Embassy in its place? Speaking of…

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

With Title Tuesday declaring a new #1 contender, Christian Cage is set to defend his TNT Championship next week here on Collision! Will Captain Charisma be facing the Mogul or the American Dragon this time next Saturday?

Adam Copeland is here!

Salt Lake City fires up for the Rated R Superstar as he makes his entrance and gets his pyro! And even after speaking his mind on Dynamite, Edge has a lot to say here after how Christian Cage responded. Edge gets the mic and he tells the fans to give him more. There we go. Before he begins, he wants to point out, JR is on commentary. Jim Ross first signed Edge to a contract, paid his college debts, so he is forever indebted to good ol’ JR. Fans cheer that, and Edge continues by bringing up Dynamite. If you saw it, you know things didn’t go exactly to plan. But Edge just doesn’t get it. He is confused! The whole idea of Edge coming here was to team with Christian again.

You want to see it, right? The fans say yes! Then Edge wants to rewind a bit. This might sound like a fairytale, but for them it is true. For nine years, Edge was told he could never do this again. He was told that if he fell, he could die! But he is standing here in an AEW ring, after a hell of a lot of work and persistence. But hey, it gets better. Because for seven years, Christian was told he could never do this again. And through hard work and persistence, Christian is here in AEW! So Edge just doesn’t understand. When they first started talking about Edge coming here, that was the idea!

But somewhere along the line, Christian got colder. Stopped taking the phone calls. And sure, that’s just Christian, he ain’t the nicest guy in the world. Never has been, and Edge will say it here, “He’s a d*ck.” But again, Edge still loves Christian! They’ve been best friends for 40 YEARS! But when Christian stopped taking the calls, maybe that should’ve clued Edge in. Maybe Edge should’ve known what was gonna happen. Yeah, Christian’s in his Bond Villain phase, Edge gets it. The turtlenecks, the big heavy in Luchasaurus, which makes Nick Wayne the hairless Persian cat he pets in his lap or something. Fans cheer that idea, and even chant “PERSIAN CAT!”

Edge chuckles and then continues, “Not gonna lie, if every time you see Nick Wayne and you do that, I would be smiling.” But Edge says what he’s here for is answers. Edge wants to know what is going on. Edge is highly confused, so Christian, can you please come out here to talk to him? What is up? Edge waits, and the tron comes on. Christian chuckles at “Same ol’ Adam.” He thinks he calls the shots around here. Edge has been in AEW less than a week and he has accomplished absolutely NOTHING. As the TNT Champion, Christian comes and goes as he pleases. As for this request for an answer, that’s not happening tonight.

If Edge wants answers, he’ll get it Tuesday on Dynamite. Fans boo but Christian promises to be there. “The question is… Are you gonna make it?” Christian laughs, and here comes Luchasaurus! The Right Hand of Destruction, and the hairless cat- er, Nick Wayne storm their way to the ring! Fans boo but Nick has Luchasaurus hang back. They flank the ring, and Edge goes for the big one! Edge fires hands, Nick gets in but get a BOOT! Edge then RAMS Luchasaurus off the ring! Nick runs up, into an IMPALER!! Fans fire up as Edge takes aim, but Luchasaurus gets in to choke grip! JURASSIC CHOKE SLAM!!

Fans boo as Edge sputters, and now Luchasaurus is the one taking aim. Edge stands, into the EXTINCTION LEVEL LARIAT!! Edge is down again and fans boo, as Luchasaurus gets chairs! The fans chant “PERSIAN CAT!” at Nick but that doesn’t stop Luchasaurus from putting Edge on one chair and grabbing the other. But here comes DARBY ALLIN! Luchasaurus watches the ramp, but the Relentless One slides in from crowd side! Darby picks up the other chair to SMACK Luchasaurus! Fans fire up as the monster falls out of the ring! Darby glares at Nick but hesitates to hit him. Nick deserves it but Darby also talked about forgiveness once…

Darby sees Luchasaurus get up, swings on him again, and Nick DROPKICKS Darby! Nick gets his shot in and then Luchasaurus SLINGS Darby into the corner! That arm is bandaged and braced, but Luchasaurus pulls all that away! Luchasaurus drags Darby around by that arm, and then Nick sets it up on a chair! Fans boo as Nick gives that arm a CON-CHAIR-TO!!! Darby writhes as his already damaged arm might be broken forever!! And even then, that wouldn’t compare to how Nick broke Darby’s heart. Will Edge make it to Title Tuesday? Will Darby ever make it back? Or is Christian Cage’s crew going to take over AEW?

My Thoughts:

A really good episode for AEW Collision here, with good stuff going into next week and overall. Quite the surprise in FTR losing the tag titles here, but it would seem Cash wasn’t making up stuff about his bad ribs. Sheesh, Mark Davis’ wrist breaks in their WrestleDream match but Cash still needs to take time off. Maybe this will be a sign to AEW, or at least these two teams, that they gotta hold back a little bit if they wanna keep going. But at the same time, this was technically a protected loss, and Starks & Morrissey are great talents. Bill & Ricky have been deserving of titles for some time as individuals, so why not have titles together for now? And this gives Full Gear a solid Faces VS Heels tag title match with The Young Bucks next in line.

Speaking of going too hard, Fletcher damn near concussed himself doing that tope against Bryan. Can’t even say it was on Bryan because Fletcher is so tall yet so fast, Bryan could only do so much. But even then, great showing for Fletcher and big win for Bryan going into Title Tuesday. And clearly, Swerve & The Embassy are worried about Bryan, which is why The Gates of Agony attacked. But good save by Claudio & Yuta, maybe the BCC is on its way back to being Faces here. Bryan VS Swerve is gonna be awesome, Gates VS Claudio & Yuta will be really good, I’m leaning towards a BCC sweep.

Really good Six Man Tag matches tonight, even though it was clear BCG and Acclaimed were each winning. White calling out MJF and Hangman in the same go while pretending to be the “real” AEW World Champion, is this a veiled jab at CM Punk? I’m mostly joking but it’s not unlike AEW to be weirdly petty. And I think that was the raunchiest Trios match in all of AEW history, with the scissoring, the sauce, and the ass. But I would hope that with the interaction of Acclaimed and MJF on Dynamite, and how BCG will want all their titles, that means MJF ends up in an uneasy alliance with The Acclaimed to protect all their interests. Maybe even make it a huge title match for Full Gear, like a historic 8 Man Winners Take All scenario.

Really good promo from Shane and Keith, can’t wait to see that match. Great match from Toni Storm where she tries to script it all, which is also some good meta for how pro-wrestling is scripted. Lots of ass centric things in this match, too, actually… But Toni of course wins to build the momentum of “Timeless” Toni. Good promo from Ruby to help us understand she won’t be ringside for Saraya. So either Saraya cheats on her own, or maybe, just maybe, there’s a new outcast? Not sure how that’d work but it isn’t impossible given WWE cut people recently. But as I said the last couple of shows, I don’t really see Shida winning her historic third title reign on TV, even if it is Title Tuesday.

Great ROH World title match from Eddie and Komander, and a little surprised Alex Abrahantes wasn’t here. Eddie of course won, his real story for this title is Jay Lethal. And great closing stuff from Edge, Christian and everyone else connected. Nick’s promo earlier was good, and definitely helped plug how he and Darby were both gonna get involved tonight. The Heels stand tall to put all the pressure on the Faces, which is good story telling in pro-wrestling. Edge will of course make it to his in-ring debut on Tuesday, and maybe Sting gets involved again given his part at WrestleDream. Definitely thinking we get a Six Man Tag before we get Christian VS Edge at Full Gear.

My Score: 8.7/10
