Backstage interview with Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara.
Renee Paquette is with Le Sex Gods, and says they are sitting on that AEW World Tag Team Championship opportunity. However, next week we will see Sammy VS Ricky Starks 1v1. Sammy has a pin on Starks after the big win at Worlds End, how does he feel ahead of this match? Sammy says he feels great. Just as Renee brought up, they got the big PPV win, but that is the past. Now we look to Dynamite, Guevara VS Starks, and Renee, Sammy Guevara VS Ricky Starks is happening! This is what AEW is about! This is a story with feeling! Sammy and Starks have known each other for years, gone up and done the indies together, and Sammy respects the hell out of Starks.
Sammy knows he and Ricky are a lot alike. No matter what the world wants to throw at them, they overcome it. And Starks has overcome it to become one-half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions. Starks is an incredible talker, incredible wrestler, but next week, only one can be the winner. Starks might be good, maybe even great, but he’s not better than The Best Ever! Jericho adds that if Big Bill tries to get involved, Jericho will stop him. Yes, Bill is twice Jericho’s size, but with half Jericho’s brain. Jericho will take out the proverbial ax, and chop down Bill inch by inch until they’re face to face. Then Jericho will poke Bill in the eye, knock his teeth out, and Uncle Joe will cry! See you Wednesday, boys!
Backstage interview with the former Jericho Appreciation Society.
Renee is with Anna Jay, Matthew Menard, Angelo Parker and Jake Hager and says Anna has a huge match tonight, kicking off 2024 against the former three-time AEW Women’s World Champion, Hikaru Shida. How is she feeling ahead of the match? To be honest, a little stagnant, numb, but also that it is time for a change. She vows to make 2024 her year. This is Anna’s year, and that starts with beating Shida, by herself. The boys accept that, but then Harley Cameron walks in. She apologizes for interrupting but she just wants to introduce herself as the newest member of The Outcasts. And she is very, very helpful.
In fact, she wants to help every single one of the X-JAS. Harley’s a bit flirty with Cool Hand Ange, and she even whispers something to him. Wow, she would actually do that? Oh, she’s the best at it. Rawr. Well, uh, okay… Anna says she’s gonna go get ready, and she tells Shida she’ll see her later tonight. The boys cheer Anna on, and Menard says Harley’s a nice girl. No, it wasn’t what that looked like. Hager says he doesn’t like when people whisper. Just what is Harley playing at? And is there someone *cough* Saraya */cough* behind it all?
Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale VS Kennedi Hardcastle & Notorious Mimi!
Stokely Hathaway has tried to tear down the friendship of The Galaxy’s Greatest and The Babe with the Power, but it only resulted in a great friendly match at Worlds End. Oh, Stokely is here now and interrupting Justin Roberts. He says he’s got this? Stokely gets in the ring to say, “I don’t know who the hell these two are, they don’t even work here, but God bless ’em.” That’s rude… But Stokely gets his phone out to read the script. This is a tag team match scheduled for one fall. The fans echo “ONE FALL!” and Stokely says this isn’t fan participation night, aight? Anyway, cue the music.
Kris makes her entrance, Willow by her side, and they’re confused as to why Stokely is here. He hast he music cut? “She is the greatest TBS Champion of all time, and I’m not gonna lie, I wish she was mine. She’s the greatest as you can see, and every time I think about her, I think about that old school R&B. She’s thicker than a Snickers, and she’s faster than a cat with whiskers! Give it up ladies and gentlemen, for Kris Statlander~!” Was Stokely seriously just flirting with Kris as part of the intro? Kris SMACKS him for it! Hey, his mama’s watching! And yeah, her tag partner is Willow. Yeah, that’s all you get now.
Stokely steps away, the teams sort out, and Kris starts against Mimi. The bell rings, the two tie up, and Kris scoops to SLAM Mimi! Kris flexes, tags Willow, and fans fire up as Willow scoops and SLAMS Mimi! Tag back to Kris, and she scoops to SLAM Mimi! Tag back to Willow, and she brings Mimi back around, to scoop and SLAM! Fans fire up as this is becoming Scoop Slam City! Kris scoops Mimi again, then tags Willow, then SLAMS Mimi! Willow runs to SENTON! Fans fire up with Willow, she whips Mimi to a corner and Willow runs in to clothesline! Fans fire up with Willow but Stokely says Stat does better.
Mimi fights free to SLAP Willow, hot tag to Kennedi! Kennedi runs up to CLUB Willow and bring her around. Kennedi CLUBS Willow, whips her to a corner, then runs in to UPPERCUT! Tag back to Mimi, and Mimi runs up to BOOT Willow down! Fans rally, Mimi & Kennedi reel Willow in, but she blocks the suplex! Willow then DOUBLE SUPLEXES back! Fans fire up, Willow tags Kris, and Kris roars as she DOUBLE LARIATS! Fans fire up with kris, she runs up to ROCK Mimi! Then ROCK Kennedi! Then a scoop and POWERSLAM for Kennedi! Mimi swings, but into a BLUE THUNDER BOMB onto Kennedi!
Fans fire up and Kris tags Willow. They get Mimi up, ROUNDHOUSE to SPINEBUSTER! High stack, Willow & Kris win!
Winners: Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
Stokely even announces it himself, “And your winners, Kris Statlander~! And Willow Nightingale.” Obvious bias aside, Stokely at least wants the best for Kris. Will he stay out of the way otherwise as these two stick together? Never mind, he raises Kris’ hand in victory. Willow shoos Stokely, Kris even holds the ropes open. Will Kris & Willow stick together to take over AEW?
Backstage interview with the Hardy Boyz.
Renee is with Matt & Jeff, and she knows they’ve had their frustrations, but great win in trios competition, how’re they feeling? Jeff says they are feeling great. They got a huge win on Rampage, so someone needs to book them on Dynamite to boost those ratings! In comes Private Party with applause, Isiah Kassidy says the Hardys winning, they love to see it, Renee loves to see it, the cameraman loves to see it. Everyone loves it, so congrats. Matt thanks them and says he is very happy to see Marq Quen back from injury. Private Party looks good, and they’ve got this. Y’know why? Because Private Party sat under the learning tree of the tag team GOATs!
Matt says if you love something, you gotta let it go. So it is time for Private Party to once again be their own men, their own team. No more #HardyParty, it will now be Hardys and Private Party, you do you. Matt is proud of them calling people out, too, even calling out The Hardys! That’s legit! So one last fist bump. They all put hands in, fire up, and one last gift! Two ring-worn Hardy shirts as souvenirs! Matt knows the Hardy Boyz were Private Party’s childhood heroes, but they will also be Private Party’s opponents. See you very, very soon. The Hardy Boyz head out after a rather condescending and passive aggressive display.
Kassidy says it could’ve at least been new stuff. Quen wants to kick their asses. Private Party starts on the road towards their own tag team legacy, will it start by bringing Matt & Jeff off their high horses?
Hikaru Shida VS Anna Jay!
The Shining Samurai wants to have gold again, possibly even become a four-time AEW Women’s World Champion, but the Star of the Show just wants her first reign. These two have faced off a few times in AEW already, which way will this newest rematch go?
The bell rings, the two circle and the fans rally up. They tie up, Shida powers Anna to ropes, and the ref counts. Shida lets off, but Anna puts Shida on ropes to fire off forearms! Shida shoves her away, but Anna gets around, QUEEN SLAYER! But Shida powers up and out before the sleeper’s on any tighter! The fans rally, Anna kicks but Shida blocks. Shida swings, Anna ducks, but then Anna swings and Shida ducks. Shida ROCKS Anna this time, whips her, and scoops to BACKBREAKER! Fans rally with Shida and she puts Anna on the apron. Shida then CLUBS Anna, gets some space, and runs in to KNEE LIFT!
Anna falls and fans fire up with Shida. The ref wants this in the ring so Shida gets as chair! Fans fire up, the ref reprimands, but Shida stands the chair up. Shida runs up, but Anna avoids the flying knee! Anna pushes the chair aside, then whips Shida hard into railing! Fans are torn but Anna soaks up the cheers and jeers. Anna hauls Shida up to THROW her into more railing! Anna “apologizes” then drags Shida up and into the ring. Fans boo but Anna bends Shida against the post! The ref counts, Anna lets off at 4, and she pushes Shida into the ring. Anna taunts the fans, storms in after Shida, and then CLUBS her down!
Anna taunts Shida, drags her up, and whips her to ropes. Anna BOOTS Shida down, covers, TWO! Shida is still in this but Anna taunts the fans again while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Anna bumps Shida off buckles, then digs her boot in. The ref counts, Anna lets off at 4,and she “apologizes” again before she ROCKS Shida. But then Shida pulls Anna’s hair! Anna throws body shots, CHOKES Shida, and lets off as the ref counts. Anna protests about the hair, then she puts Shida on ropes to CHOKE her! The ref counts, Anna lets off at 4 again, and she drags Shida around to CHOKE again! The ref reprimands, counts, and Anna lets off to drag Shida up. Shida throws body shots, Anna returns those, and Anna snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Anna is frustrated, but she drags Shida back up and into a full nelson.
Shida endures, fights up, and she breaks the nelson! But Anna throws her down by her hair! The ref reprimands, but Anna drags Shida up again to ROCK her with a right! And then COMPLETE SHOT! Anna soaks up the heat as she storms up on Shida and digs her boots in at the corner. The ref counts, but Shida stands to her feet, while Rampage goes to break!
Rampage returns and Anna fires forearms with Shida! The fans rally behind Shida, but Anna SLAPS Shida! Anna eggs Shida on, so Shida ROCKS Anna with forearm after forearm! The fans fire up as Shida hammers away and makes Anna drop to her knees! Shida runs, to SLIDING FOREARM! Then she drags Anna up to suplex, and BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Anna survives and Shida is furious, but Shida bumps Anna off buckles. Fans fire up with Shida and she runs corner to corner, but Anna slips out and PENDULUM KICKS! Anna runs in, Gory Especial, and GORY BOMB! Cover, TWO!!
Shida survives Anna’s shoutout to Tay Melo, and the fans fire up! Anna drags Shida up, wrenches and HOOK- NO, Shida ducks to waistlock! Anna throws elbow after elbow, but Shida hammerlocks and LARIATS! Shida drags Anna up, suplexes, FALCON ARROW! Cover, but Anna victory rolls, TWO!!! Shida escapes by nanoseconds, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER!!! Shida flails, pushes back, slips free and KNEES Anna in the back! Shida runs to TAMASHII SLIDING KNEE!! Cover, TWO!!! Anna survives now, the fans fire up and Shida drags Anna around. Shida sits Anna up then goes up the corner. METEORA!!!
But Shida isn’t done there! KATANA KICK!!! Cover, Shida wins!!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Anna came so close, and even drew some blood as Shida wipes her lips. But is this a sign that Anna is almost at that championship level? Will Shida move on to grab gold once again in the New Year?
Team Triple Jay speaks.
Sonjay Dutt brings a cameraman along for this “family meeting.” Sonjay wants them to be locked in this room. And if this team doesn’t get back on the same page, they’ll keep meeting like this every week until they get back on that same page. There’s a big tag match because Sonjay wants them to get back on the playing field and on those winning ways. Jay Lethal doesn’t know how a tag match is supposed to help, but Karen says we start with an official name. She’s been here nine months, what’s their actual name? Jeff Jarrett says maybe the name should include the word “loser” on behalf of Lethal!
Sonjay has Jarrett hold on and Lethal tells Jarrett, “Who the hell you talking to?” Jarrett asks Lethal just how many matches he’s won recently. Then compare it to how many Jarrett’s won. Jarrett beat Jeff Hardy to become Texas Chainsaw Massacre Champion! He beat Dax Harwood, and he beat Eddie Kingston in a Memphis Street Fight, and look where that got them! Eddie’s the one on top of the world now! Lethal says Jarrett wouldn’t have won any of those matches if not for Lethal, so really, Jarrett hasn’t won s*it!! Is that right? Lethal wants to tell the two-time Hall of Famer, the TWELVE-TIME World Champion, he needs Lethal’s help?
Jarrett says Lethal should just get the hell out and go start his own winning streak! Karen & Sonjay work to cool things off, this is the opposite of what this meeting is about. Sonjay says they can try again next week. Are we witnessing the end of the team unofficially known as Triple Jay?
ROH Pure Championship: Wheeler Yuta VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
The Decoder could NOT crack the puzzle of the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, Hook. As such, he is NOT FTW Champion after a brutal FTW Rules match at Worlds End. However, will he redeem himself by holding onto the title he has? Or will the AAA World Cruiserweight Champion leave Newark a double champion?
Our judges tonight are Jimmy Jacobs, Christopher Daniels & Pat Buck. The introductions are made, the ROH belt is raised, and we see who is the better Pure wrestler!
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and we are on the clock. The two circle as the fans rally up, and then they tie up. Yuta wrenches, wristlocks, but Komander rolls, wrenches and wristlocks back. Yuta rolls, handsprings, and slips through to back drop! Yuta keeps the arm to cording hold, but Komander moves around. Yuta steps over to trap the head and then has a double wristlock. Komander fights through, reaches out, CLUBS Yuta’s legs, and then has the ROPEBREAK! That is his first of three and Yuta smirks. We’re only a minute in and Yuta feels good about the pace. Yuta CHOPS Komander, then soaks up the heat.
Yuta CLUBS Komander, whips him, but Komander reverses to knee low, snapmare, and step over to then hook a leg. Komander uses that to roll Yuta and get La Magistrol! Then a HALF CRAB! Yuta endures, flails, grits his teeth, but Komander’s special angle on the hold is particularly painful, so Yuta uses a ROPEBREAK! Komander lets go and now both men have just two. The fans rally and Yuta is frustrated already. Yuta swings, misses, and Komander headlocks. Yuta powers out but Komander whips. Komander hurdles, redirects, jumps over the dropdown then stands Yuta up to whip again. Yuta reverses and he avoids the handspring!
Komander BOOTS the lariat, then RANAS Yuta into ropes! Yuta bails out, Komander builds speed, but stops as he sees Yuta duck down. Komander then adjusts to PLANCHA, but Yuta moves aside! Yuta UPPERCUTS Komander, the ref warns Yuta but it was hard to say if that was closed fist. Yuta drags Komander up, and he ARMBAR DDTS Komander to the floor! Komander writhes, Yuta soaks up the heat, and we pass three minutes as we go picture in picture.
Komander rises up, Yuta goes back out after him, and Yuta pushes Abrahnates aside so he can fire forearms! Yuta takes Komanders’ bad arm to SMACK it off the apron! Yuta then stands on the apron, stands on the bad arm, and he soaks up the heat. Yuta then springboard STOMPS the arm! Komander clutches the shoulder, but Yuta refreshes the ring count. Yuta CLUBS Komander, pushes him around, and ROCKS him with a forearm. Yuta throws Komander into the ring, taunts the fans, and he soaks up more heat. Yuta drags Komander up, mocks the fans rallying for Komander, then kicks at Komander.
Komander throws body shots but Yuta stomps him down. Yuta SENTONS, then covers, TWO! Komander hangs tough, but Yuta isolates the bad arm. Yuta stands on the arm, to then STOMP it! Komander writhes, goes to a corner, then along the ropes. Yuta follows after to bump Komander off buckles. Yuta watches Komander stagger around, and then reels him into FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Not quite perfect, but Yuta stays on Komander with a facelock. Yuta shifts to have a double wristlock, and he again steps over Komander’s head for more torque. Komander endures, reaches out, and has the ROPEBREAK!
Yuta smirks, that is the second of three for Komander, and we’re only at six minutes. Yuta brings Komander up, hook shim up in a Gory Especial, and Yuta bends Komander back! Yuta pulls on those arms, but Komander endures. So Yuta RAMS Komander into a corner, then carries him back out to bend the arms in the Gory Especial. Then Yuta RAMS Komander into buckles again! Yuta keeps Komander hooked up and we return to single picture. Komander still endures, even as Yuta bends the arms back again! Fans rally, Komander fights and SUNSET BOMBS Yuta into buckles! The fans fire up as Komander then cradles, TWO!!
Yuta escapes, hurries back up, but Komander throws body shots and kicks! Komander then ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirls, only for Yuta to stop the DDT! Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges again, to springboard MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Komander runs in from a corner and uses Yuta as a step to go up the corner! The bad arm slows Komander down, but he still FLYING TORNADO DDTS!! Yuta flops around and Komander hurries to cover, TWO!!! Yuta survives and we’re past eight minutes. Abrahantes coaches Komander and Komander rams the bad arm into buckles to get it working right.
Komander climbs up as best he can, to then PHOENIX- NO, he has to bail out as Yuta moves! Yuta runs up, spins Komander around, PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO!! Komander’s still in this but Yuta has the DOUBLE WRISTLOCK! Komander endures, we pass nine minutes, making this one of Yuta’s longer Pure Rules matches! Komander crawls, reaches out, and has no choice but to use his FINAL ROPEBREAK! Yuta grins, he has Komander where he wants him! Yuta soaks up the heat, but Komander gets him in a victory roll! TWO!! Yuta escapes, swings, misses, and Komander tilt-o-whirls to RANA! Cover, TWO!!
Fans fire up, Yuta ducks the roundhouse but not the HEEL KICK! Komander runs, but Yuta BOOTS him! Yuta runs, but Komander dodges and RANAS again! Yuta REWINDS, to shoot around, GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Yuta holds on and he drags Komander around to a SEATBELT! TWO and Komander sunset flips! TWO!! The bad arm was holding Komander back on that! And now Yuta has hold of Komander for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS!! Yuta throws down the BCC signature, and Komander is a ragdoll! Yuta has the KIMURA!!! Komander endures, fights to ropes, but it doesn’t matter anymore!!
Abrahantes pleads with Komander, knowing there’s no other hope! But Komander can’t endure, he TAPS! Yuta wins!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by submission (still ROH Pure Champion)
Yuta may have needed 10 minutes and 45 seconds, one of his longest Pure matches ever, but he still won out! Komander’s speed could not keep up with Yuta’s technical savvy, and now Yuta is on his way to setting most combined days as Pure Champion. Will anyone ever take this title from Yuta? Or will 2024 be the Year of the Decoder?
My Thoughts:
A really good Rampage, and I gotta say, I really liked how the Pure Championship match went for the main event. It was still quite a ways away from the time limit, but just as I said, it was one of the longer Pure matches I’ve seen Yuta compete in. Really need to see the Pure Division go towards 15 minutes or so, though. Yuta retaining was of course happening, but I was kinda hoping Hook was gonna show up to establish that he and Yuta are gonna have a Pure Rules match now. I’m sure we’ll still see that down the line, but why drag it out? Good promo from not actually Triple Jay, I guess I just latched onto some random nickname that was given to them at some point. And speaking of not dragging it out, let’s just get to Jarrett VS Lethal already, that’ll be good stuff.
Really good Six Man Tag to open the night, and great win for Briscoe & The Hardys. Feels like they’re not sticking together, though, as we also got a really good promo from the Hardys with Private Party. That’s going to be a good match, maybe even a feud. As I said on Dynamite, here’s hoping Private Party gets towards the World Tag Team Championships. Le Sex Gods had a good promo to hype up Sammy VS Ricky on Dynamite, that’ll be good stuff. But as I also said on Dynamite, feels like they should really be keeping Jericho out of the spotlight for a bit while the allegations are sorted out. I’m thinking that maybe Starks & Bill should hold onto the titles given that, too.
Really good promo from the X-JAS and clearly, the plan Saraya & Harley are cooking up now is that Harley seduces Parker to break him and Ruby up, thereby keeping Ruby in the Outcasts. Though, given that, it will blow up in Saraya’s face and make Ruby even more likely to leave The Outcasts. While Toni Storm becoming “Timeless” Toni is a great outcome for her leaving The Outcasts, I kinda wish there was a way for The Outcasts to grow stronger, and Ruby ditching Saraya might be the opposite. But great match from Shida and Anna, Anna is just getting better and better in there. Quite the ref botch on that count, though, that was rough.
And while the tag match itself was a big squash win for Kris & Willow, I find it interesting that Stokely’s new tactic was to flirt with Kris. Is this just a tactic? Or is the story really now that Stokely does like Kris? Either way, it was funny, can’t wait to see what Stokely tries next.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Adam Cole is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Panama City Playboy, and he brings his AEW TNT Championship to the ring. The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Story Time with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Now, the reason he has a giant smile is because this is the 100th episode of Collision! The strides that Collision has made in such a short time is impressive. Cole wants to thank the fans. AEW has the best wrestlers on the planet delivering some of the best matches we’ve ever seen, and dammit, these are the best fans he has ever been in front of!
“AEW is built on the future, and I’m excited about the future. Because right now, I am your TNT Champion, and this title is going nowhere. I am proud of where Collision has been, and I’m proud of where it is going. I am proud to represent TNT as your TNT Champion. I am proud about our future. In 2025 and beyond, I will hold onto this championship, because dammit, I’m Adam Cole, Baybay. And that is undisputed.” The fans cheer, but here comes Kyle Fletcher! The fans are torn as the Protostar has a mic to say, “Pardon the interruption, Adam, but I just wanted to personally congratulate everybody, and especially you, on such a huge milestone. 100 episodes of Collision, that’s huge!
“And you’ve had a fantastic run as the Face of TNT. But the next 100 episodes of Collision and the entire future of this company belong to ME.” The fans are torn on that, too, but Kyle says Cole loves to do story time. How about story time with the Protostar? Now, does Cole remember All In 2023? Of course he does! He main-evented the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time for the AEW World Championship. But earlier that night, he faced a young ‘n’ hungry Kyle Fletcher for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. And while that was the greatest night of Cole’s life, that was the WORST night of Kyle’s!
Cole took away the biggest accomplishment of Kyle’s life, purely to stroke his own ego. But now, Kyle stands here a totally different man. Kyle KILLED that version of Kyle to stand here the most perfect pro-wrestler in the world! Again, the fans are torn, but Kyle says he wants nothing more than to make Cole feel exactly how he did two years ago. So at All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, Kyle wants his shot at HIS TNT Champions! The fans like where this is going! Kyle says everyone int he world knows no one is more deserving of that shot! But wait! Daniel Garcia makes his way out here! The fans cheer as Daniel Garcia joins Kyle on stage.
Garcia asks, “What’s good, Ontario?” And he hears all this talk about the past of Collision, the future of Collision, the future of AEW, the TNT title, but when you talk about those things, you better bring up one name: Daniel Garcia. Now, Fletcher, their match is the main event. Garcia isn’t looking past Kyle, but he would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little distracted. Because when Garcia looks in the ring, he sees the man who beat him for the TNT Championship and that belt over his shoulder. Garcia can only think one thing to himself: “I need that.” Cole says he has all the respect for Garcia, and any time, any place that Garcia wants his shot, he’s got it.
But do not forget, Cole beat him before and he’ll beat him again. As for Kyle, the person living in Lala Land is just lying to himself. Last time, Cole had Kyle beat, and the Don Callis Family had to get involved because they knew it, and Kyle knows it. Cole had his number then and has his number now. So here’s a great idea: Let’s just go All In! Kyle wants his shot at the TNT title, Garcia wants his shot at the TNT title, and Cole is a fighting champion. At All In, he’ll face them both! Kyle says no no no, that’s not gonna happen. Kyle was screwed out of the title once, he won’t do it again. Kyle beat Garcia when he was TNT Champion, and he never got his shot!
Kyle says in a perfect and just world, HE would be here as TNT Champion! Garcia says oh c’mon, Kyle thinks he deserves to be a champion just cuz he beat Garcia? Congrats, who hasn’t beat Garcia? Garcia has been losing for his entire career, for his entire life, but every time he loses, he gets back up. The fans applaud that! Garcia says every time he fails, he gets back up! So Cole, Kyle, he isn’t asking for his shot because he “deserves” one, he wants to earn it. So here’s another idea: Garcia and Kyle are already in a big main event match, but let’s put it all on the line! Garcia VS Kyle, winner goes on to have the biggest match of their lives against Adam Cole for the TNT Championship!
The fans cheer, Kyle is annoyed, but Cole says if that’s how they wanna play it, that’s how they’ll do it. May the best man win. Garcia raised the stakes of tonight’s main event, but will he be ready to go All In? Or will the Aussie Arrow be the one flying to Texas?
Toni Storm speaks.
“This is a message for that the little girl watching from home. The one who begged her parents to buy All In so that she could sit in front of the television to watch the greatest women’s match of all time. It won’t be. It will be a lesson, and the lesson is this: Someone can only hurt you as much as you let them, and when they can’t hurt you anymore, if they hurt the people you love, you have absolutely every right to rip their bloody tits off. Some things in life are not worth fighting for. But if you’re lucky, one thing in your whole life will be worth every last drop of blood. Fortunately for me, that thing happens to be the big shiny gold belt that I wear around my waist.
“What you’re about to witness will change you in foul ways. Probably our mother, too. It won’t be nice, it won’t be pretty, but you will remember it forever. Hopefully, it will discourage you from becoming a wrestler yourself, because there are only two kinds of people in this world: Ruthless, greedy, power-hungry megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to have it all, and the people who end them. Good night, darling. See you next week.”

Oh, wait, speaking of, MJF & MVP interrupt via the tron. MJF asks if MVP saw that amazing finish. This is so exciting! Hologram, go teleport your ass back to the hotel, MJF doesn’t care about you. MJF is here to talk to Mistico and Briscoe, aka Jabroni y El Jabroni. MVP likes that, that’s clever. MJF says he knows Spanish. But MVP says we don’t “talky talk,” that is for poor, uneducated chicken farmers. MVP says men like him and MJF converse. They speak the language of violence.
So let’s converse right now. MJF says Briscoe wants to talk to him one-on-one, but MJF isn’t so sure. Nowadays, he rolls with his clique. When you’re in the Syndicate, you ride together, you die together, they hurt people. But MJF will still consider it. But as for Mistico, MJF knows he’s all excited to be in the gauntlet. IS HE? Because last time MJF checked, he’s gonna beat Briscoe within an inch of his life and pin him before anybody gets a chance to make an entrance. So now, they can go back to do what poor people do. MJF doesn’t know what that is, maybe count food stamps or something. MVP, talk us out.
MVP says he appreciates all the enthusiasm, but they’re way out of their league. MVP tells Mistico, in Spanish, that he is the biggest idiot in Mexico! MJF says it ain’t personal, it’s just business. MJF & MVP head out, but will Briscoe, Mistico, and just about everyone else in the gauntlet line-up make sure MJF does not win it?
BREAKING NEWS for All In!
While Kevin Knight got the big win in the Triple Threat, it will still be a Triple Threat for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The Patriarchy is still in this mix, will they ruin the plans of both Hurt Syndicate and JetSpeed?

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

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite 300.
Renee Paquette found Anthony Bowens after the Men’s Casino Gauntlet #2 spot Fatal 4, and asked him how he felt after his defeat. He talked about his strategy going into the match, so- Bowens stops her there. There’s no room for negativity as the Pride of Pro-Wrestling. Billy Gunn then walks in, and he helps Bowens stand up. Bowens thanks Billy for the help now. Sorry, Billy thought the strategy was for him to not be ringside. Billy says he doesn’t know what Bowens is doing with all this. Bowens asks since when was that part of the strategy. He never said he didn’t want Billy out there. Well, that’s what Billy heard him say. He was back here watching the whole time.
Maybe Bowens doesn’t get this, but just because he’s a singles guy now doesn’t mean he’ll be world champion overnight. There will be bumps in the road, but they need to figure this out together. They can make it all work out. Bowens says Billy has been promising that for weeks but results need to happen now. All In is next week, Bowens has to win the gauntlet! He lost the chance at being #2 so now what? Trust Billy. Bowens & Billy scissor, but can Daddy Ass help the 5 Tool Player find the path to the top?

8 Woman Tag: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay VS Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Julia Hart!
Given how the last time we had an All-Star 8 Woman Tag, Red Velvet snuck a little something-something in there, we’re obviously going to run it back. La Mera Mera once again teams with the One True African Queen, the Blackbelt Brazilian and the Star of the Show, but Team Fallen Goddesses made a substitution: They tagged out the Superbad Girl for the Princess of the Black Throne. However, Penelope Ford & Skye Blue will still be here ringside, will the villainous villainesses get another win before All In? Or will justice prevail this close to Supercard of Honor?
The teams sort out, Aminata steps up and wants Thekla. Instead, she gets Julia. The bell rings, but then Thekla tags in. Aminata runs up, kicks and whips, but Thekla ducks ‘n’ dodges.

Megan RAMS Rosa into a corner! And CHOPS! Megan whips corner to corner, runs in, but Rosa dodges the splash! Rosa goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Megan flounders and the fans fire up again! Rosa says it’s time! Rosa runs, LIGHTNING DROPKICK!
Rosa tags Aminata, Aminata climbs up, DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS! The fans fire up and Aminata talks trash to Thekla. Aminata shakes it up, but Megan rises! Aminata tags Rosa back in, they mug Megan and put her in a corner. They CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Ford & Skye complain while Collision goes picture in picture.
Aminata & Rosa double whip Megan but she breaks through the lariats to DOUBLE LARIAT back! Megan rises, her team cheers, and Megan RAMS Rosa into the corner! Megan KNEES Rosa again and again, then runs side to side to BOOT Rosa down! Tag to Thekla and she covers, TWO! Thekla stomps Rosa to the ropes, stomps her more, then snapmares her for a basement SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Rosa stays in this but Thekla stays on her with a chinlock. Thekla stands Rosa up but Rosa CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Rosa CHOPS Thekla into the corner, then winds up to CHOP again! Rosa whips corner to corner, Thekla reverses, and Thekla runs up to ELBOW!
Thekla keeps moving, winds up, but Rosa dodges the return! Rosa runs up, but Thekla BOOTS her! Thekla goes up, HANGING HEADSCISSORS! The ref counts, Thekla lets go and hangs from the ropes. Thekla steps inside, tags Julia, and Julia drags Rosa back to sit her up. Julia clamps on a chinlock and she thrashes Rosa around! Rosa endures, but Anna Jay stomps Julia! Thekla storms in to fire off on Anna! The ref reprimands as Julia and Thekla put Rosa and Anna on top ropes. They climb to the very top, but Anna and Rosa fight back! Collision 100 returns to single picture, Thekla gives Anna a SPIDER SUPERPLEX!
Julia has Rosa, she hits a SPIDER SUPERPLEX of her own! The fans cheer as the creepy girls both look to each other and smile. The Toxic Spider leaves the ring while Julia adjusts up top. HARTSAULT into BOOTS! Rosa and Julia are both down, the fans rally up, and the teams coach them up. Hot tags to Tay and Thekla! Tay rallies on Thekla, Thekla gets around, but Tay powers up to lift Thekla, SWINGING SIDE SLAM! The fans fire up with Tay and she goes corner to corner! BOOT! Tay goes side to side for another BOOT! Then she goes the other way, a THIRD BOOT! The fans fire up and Tay SAYANAGIS, to then KNEE Thekla down! Cover, TWO!
Thekla survives but Tay keeps on her. Tay drags Thekla up, tags Anna, and TayJay hook Thekla up! GORY BOMB KNEE COMBO! Cover, Athena breaks it! Rosa step sin and Athena runs away!

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

Alex Windsor speaks.
“For eight long years, I wrestled on the UK independent scene, and when I was finally hitting my stride, I had my leg taken out from under me and I tore my ACL. There was a point where I didn’t think I’d ever be able to wrestle again. But there was just something that would not let me quit, because I knew the only thing that could make me feel human again, the only thing that could bring me back from the edge, was being inside a wrestling ring. And although I am All Elite now, the mission doesn’t stop until there is gold around my waist. I want to prove to my son what his mum has had to endure to become one of the best in the world.
“I am Iron Will, I am Alex Windsor!” Will Alex prove she is unbreakable when she finally gets back in that AEW ring?
AEW TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Daniel Garcia VS Kyle Fletcher!
Adam Cole joins commentary for this one, but so has Don Callis, because this one is all about who Cole faces at All In. The Red Death held the title previously, but he admittedly did lose to the Protostar during the Continental Classic. Will Kyle correct the oversight of not getting a title match? Or will the Dragonslayer go from one redemption to another?
The bell rings, the fans rally, and the two circle. They tie up, Kyle puts Garcia in a corner, the ref counts, and Callis praises Kyle’s physical strength. Kyle backs off with a roll, then he puts up his dukes to mock Garcia’s dance. Garcia says that’s not even close, but he and Kyle reset. They tie up, Kyle powers Garcia to another corner, but Garcia turns things around. The ref counts, Garcia lets off with a roll, and he shows Kyle how it’s done! The fans cheer, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks for the takeover, fights off a headscissor, but Garcia cravats from below. Garcia moves around, rises up, and the fans rally.
Garcia powers up and out, but Kyle runs him over! Things keep moving, Kyle runs Garcia over again! Kyle drops onto Garcia for a headlock, but Garcia fights his way up again.

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

Kyle JUMP STOMPS Garcia again! Kyle drags Garcia from the ropes, paces around him again, then stands him up. Garcia fires a flurry of forearms! Garcia backs Kyle down, but Kyle DECKS Garcia! Garcia shows off the blood on his wrist tape while he paces around.
Kyle stands on the corner, and he licks the blood! The fans surely tell Kyle he’s sick, but Collision goes to break.
Collision 100 returns once again and Garcia rains down fists in the corner! He goes to nine, then winds up for TEN! The fans fire up while Kyle flounders. Garcia runs up, Kyle puts him on the apron and GAMANGIRIS! Garcia wobbles, but he reels Kyle in for a GUILLOTINE in the ropes! Callis protests, the ref counts, but Kyle goes to the apron! Kyle powers up but Garcia fights free! Garcia ducks a lariat to APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Cole and Callis are both worried while the fans all fire up! Garcia stumbles back, Kyle goes the other direction, Garcia runs up and DROPKICKS Kyle into barriers!
The fans fire up as Garcia goes to the other side, runs back in, DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Garcia keeps moving, DROPKICK! Cole says Garcia is cooking here! Garcia puts Kyle on the apron, then slides into the ring. Garcia climbs up the corner, drags Kyle up to the top rope, and the fans fire up for the SUPER DUPER PLEX! Roll through, cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Callis is relieved. A standing count begins, Kyle and Garcia stir, and Garcia grabs the legs. Kyle BOOTS Garcia away, Garcia rebounds, but into Kyle’s cradle!

Kyle grins as he looks at Cole, and he reels Garcia in for an APRON POWERBOMB!! Garcia is down in a heap and Cole stands up in anger.
The fans are torn as Kyle leaves Garcia behind. The count starts again, Cole coaches Garcia, but can Garcia even hear him right now? The count is 5 of 10, and Garcia grabs the apron skirt! Garcia rises, but we’re at 8! Garcia leaps in at 9.99! But the GAMANGIRI hits in the corner!! And then Kyle suplexes, BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Kyle wins!!
Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW TNT Championship)
Daniel Garcia fought his heart out, but his body could not withstand the viciousness of Kyle Fletcher. And now, the Aussie Arrow is aimed squarely at Adam Cole. Will the Protostar make himself the Face of TNT? Or will this title stay undisputed?
My Thoughts:
A great 100th episode of Collision, even with it being prerecorded on Wednesday. FTR VS Outrunners was an awesome match, and naturally FTR was winning, but it was a nice touch for Stokely to be involved right at the end so that The Outrunners’ power level isn’t hurt by the loss. The tag title story is a bit disconnected, though, as apparently Nick Wayne “interrupted” a Hurt Syndicate interview. It was a YouTube exclusive, not part of Dynamite, so Nick Wayne jumping into what they framed as Shelton VS Knight was weird. And even then, Knight won the Triple Threat by pinning Shelton, shouldn’t it just be JetSpeed VS Lashley & Shelton? And I’m pretty sure the only reason for the Triple Threat is so that Hurt Syndicate can lose the belts without taking the finish.
Great Six Man Tag from Briscoe, Hologram & Mistico VS Don Callis Family, and great win for the Faces. Good promo from MJF and MVP, but not really needed. They just wanted to step on Briscoe’s celebration before having the “talky talk” moment next week. Awesome return for Scorpio Sky after roughly 600 days of being away, and he of course got a win over Max Caster. The main thing from this is that Sky is also now leading a new faction with Christopher Daniels. Hopefully Top Flight gets some direction with this, they’ve been in a holding pattern for so long. And that’s not even the injuries, they’ve both been back for a good amount of time and they’ve only been contenders to the tag titles, not winners.
Very good promo from Claudio to call out The Opps, and I’m starting to really feel like Hook joins Death Riders as payback on Samoa Joe for replacing him so easily. Willow got a good win but it was mostly so we could have that moment of Kris and Yuta where Kris is still resistant to the idea of joining Death Riders. Great 8 Woman Tag, and Athena being scared of getting in the ring with Rosa was some good stuff. Another strong win for the Heels, and I feel like Megan is going to have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet. But with Alex Windsor having another good promo, I feel like she could be a favorite to win. Then Alex faces the winner of Toni VS Mone at Forbidden Door. Good promo from Toni Storm, but it didn’t really add that much to the build.
And finally, something for the TNT Championship. Great promo to open the night, and it naturally raised the stakes on the main event. Garcia VS Fletcher was awesome, and that moment near the end with them both down on the outside really teased a double count out to make a Triple Threat for All In. But in the end, Kyle overwhelms Garcia and is the standalone #1 contender. Cole VS Fletcher is going to be awesome, and probably could go either way. But if the Don Callis Family is going to be as big as it is, it also needs to win some gold. There’s potential for them to really clean up next weekend with Konosuke Takeshita going for the ROH World Championship, Okada VS Omega for the “unified” championship, and now Fletcher going for the TNT title.
My Score: 9/10
