Daniel Garcia VS Lee Moriarty w/ Shane Taylor!
The Dragonslayer and #TAIGASTYLE have a lot in common, from being great young technical wrestlers with gritty grapples and stinging strikes in their arsenals, but also in being two of the names the Blackpool Combat Club once named as prospects for their mission of molding the future. Both men want to prove they ARE the future, so who steps over the other to lead the way?

But y’see, this, THIS…! Well, it’s not exactly what I had in mind. So I’ll say this again. Tony Khan, I am looking for trouble! So find me some, or I will find it myself.” The fans fire up hearing that. Just what kind of trouble does The Bastard want to get into?
Bryan Danielson speaks.
He sits cross-legged, almost meditative, as he says, “Gratitude. Gratitude. I am so thankful I was able to wrestle Shibata tonight. Y’know, both of us were told years ago that we’d never be able to wrestle again, and here we are. Here we are in Ottawa, and we go out and we fought like hell!” Bryan looks up to the sky and says he isn’t sure who he has to thank for that, but he thanks them for that. And he is also grateful that he has a match with Will Ospreay coming up at Dynasty. Bryan watched what Ospreay had to say on Dynamite. How Ospreay’s followed Bryan’s career since he was a kid, and has tried to emulate Bryan.
But then Ospreay said this: When Ospreay gets in the ring, it’s live or die, and he doesn’t plan on dying just yet. What that tells Bryan is that Ospreay has followed Bryan, emulated Bryan, but he can’t walk in Bryan’s shoes. Ospreay has never been able to walk in Bryan’s shoes, or Shibata’s shoes, because they were told that they’d never wrestle again! They’ve been on death’s door because of this! Because of how much they love this! They have been on death’s door!! “So say what you want about what you’re willing to do. Because I know what I’m willing to do. And I don’t think you’re ready for that yet.” Is the American Dragon going to breathe more fire than the #BillyGoat can handle?
Claudio Castagnoli VS Lance Archer!
Like the rest of the Blackpool Combat Club, the Swiss Superman loves when it gets violent, but so does the Murderhawk Monster! Who will prove they can withstand more than the other on this violent Collision?

Backstage interview with Angelo Parker & Ruby Soho.
Lexi Nair is with Cool Hand Ange & The Runaway, and she brings up Zak rejecting Parker’s challenge for tonight. What does he have to say in response? Parker isn’t even sure what to think right now. Ottawa is an hour and a half from where he grew up, this is a second home to him! Parker’s mom and friends are in the crowd, they were ready to watch him fight! He was ready to fight! Zak’s been asking for a fight for weeks! Ruby wants Parker to relax, but Parker asks how can he relax?! The Outcasts are cowards! If Zak doesn’t want a match, then he’ll get a fight because Parker’s gonna find him and give him a fight!
Ruby tells Parker to look her in the eyes. This is what The Outcasts want. They’re baiting Parker into a trap, just like Ruby knew they would. If Parker’s gonna go looking for a fight, he has to do it without her. Parker asks what that means. But then he admits, she’s right. He apologizes for getting carried away. He will leave it at this for tonight, and the two head out. Can Ruby & Parker stay united against The Outcasts? Or will Saraya tear them apart without having to plot and scheme?

Backstage interview with Deonna Purrazzo & Thunder Rosa.
Lexi is with The Virtuosa and La Mera Mera, and notes that next Wednesday, Dynamite in Toronto, they are going to have a match with Toni Storm & Mariah May. These two have never teamed together, so- Deonna stops Lexi there and says that the saying goes, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Deonna and Rosa may not have been a team, but they’ve fought each other, so Deonna knows she can trust Rosa. And what really bothers Deonna is that at Revolution, Toni tapped out. If not for Toni’s butler or her cosplaying sidekick, Deonna would be here the AEW Women’s World Champion.
Rosa says it’d also be with the title Rosa never loss. So “Antonia” and “Maria,” if you want drama, oh baby, they’ll give you drama. Next week, these two stop all the games, all the jokes, and all the “Tonitania.” They have a mission, and that means it’s TV time! Will this dynamic duo be just the thing to snap “Timeless” Toni back to reality?
AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament Wild Card: The House of Black w/ Julia Hart VS The Infantry!
The brackets were made just last night on Rampage, and the wild card round begins with a Collision! Will Brody King & Buddy Matthews bring glory to the House of Black? Or will Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo march right into the quarterfinals?
The teams sort out, but Brody & Buddy CLOBBER The Infantry from behind! Then they go out to RAM both men into railing! Julia watches happily as Brody runs Dean along to TOSS into more railing! Dean takes a tumble, Buddy THROWS Bravo into more railing! The fans hoot and bark, Buddy sits Bravo in a corner while Brody sits Dean up. Brody CHOPS Dean, he and Buddy both bark, and then they both run in! BOOT for Bravo, CROSSBODY for Dean! The Infantry sputters, Brody rolls into the ring, and the ref checks The Infantry. This isn’t even a match yet, will it be able to even start?
The House waits patiently, and Bravo somehow stands up. Bravo staggers into the ring, he says he wants this, and Dean says hell yeah! The bell rings, but then Brody SPLASHES Bravo in the corner! Buddy runs up to BOOT Dean down! The ref reprimands but the House and the fans bark. Brody roars then runs, CANNONBALL! Cover, DEAN BREAKS IT! Buddy drags Captain Dean up to TOSS him out, then PENALTY KICKS from the apron! The fans fire up for The House as Collision goes picture in picture.
Brody CHOPS Bravo down, then kicks him around. Brody DECKS Bravo, then stands him up to CHOP him back down! Tag to Buddy, then Brody digs his boots in! Brody lets off so Buddy can DOUBLE STOMP Bravo in the corner! Tag back to Brody, CATAPULT into a CHOP! Bravo then falls back against Buddy’s knees, and Brody adds an ELBOW DROP! Brody looms over Bravo, scuffs him, then drags him back up. Brody puts Bravo in the corner, CHOPS him back down, then tags Buddy. Buddy drags Bravo up, snapmares him, and KICKS him in the back! Bravo reaches out for Dean but Buddy drags him back.
Buddy ROCKS Bravo with a shot in the back, then snapmares for another KICK! Bravo writhes while Buddy mocks Dean. Buddy back suplexes Bravo, btu Bravo lands out! Buddy ELBOWS Bravo, taunts Dean, then BOOTS him down! Bravo runs up, Buddy goes up an dover, but Bravo dodges the splash! Buddy staggers, takes a swing, but Bravo bobs ‘n’ weaves to ROCK Buddy with the Carlie Crossover! Collision returns to single picture, Bravo hurries for his corner, but Buddy catches him! Buddy back drops Bravo but Bravo sunset flips! Buddy rolls through, Buddy ducks the Penalty Kick to roll Buddy up! TWO, hot tag to Dean!
Dean GAMANGIRIS Buddy, goes up, but slips off the top! Dean hurries to his feet, dodges Buddy’s lariat, and hits a BIG back suplex! Dean gets Buddy up, whips him, but Buddy reverses to put Dean in the House’s corner. But Dean ELBOWS Brody away! Buddy runs in, blocks Dean’s boot, but Dean ENZIGIRIS! Dean hurries to his feet, Brody tags in, but Dean whips. Buddy reverses, ducks the lariat, and waistlocks. Brody runs up, Dean BOOTS him, and he backs Buddy down at the same time! Dean fires elbows on Buddy, runs to ELBOW Brody, then SPLASHES Buddy! Brody dodges Dean’s splash to LARIAT!!
The fans fire up for The House as they loom over Dean. Bravo returns, Buddy dodges him, and Bravo sees Brody. Bravo fires up, throws a forearm, but Brody doesn’t budge! Brody shouts at Bravo, Bravo runs away but into Buddy’s POP-UP KNEE! The House drags Dean up, and sends him into DANTE’S INFERNO!! Cover, BRAVO BREAKS IT!! Bravo saves Dean, but Brody just laughs. Brody tags Buddy back in, and each man looms over The Infantry. They drag Bravo up first, TOSS him out, but Bravo is on the apron! Buddy runs up but Bravo ROCKS him! Brody runs up, Bravo DUMPS him out! Bravo ROCKS Buddy again!
Bravo kicks Brody, but Buddy KNEES Bravo down! Brody catches Bravo to DEATH VALLEY on the desk! The desk stays up, so Buddy hauls Bravo up as Brody clears it off! The fans fire up for “TABLE! TABLE!” Buddy puts Bravo up there for Brody, and Brody PILEDRIVERS onto the desk!! The desk is still up somehow!! Buddy runs in at Dean, CURB STOMP!! Cover, but Buddy lets off!? The House is toying with The Infantry! Julia whispers something to Buddy and he likes that idea. The ref argues with Julia, but wait! MARK BRISCOE is here, and he CHUCKS a chair at Buddy!! Adora may’ve been banned but no one said anything about Briscoe!
Buddy falls, Mark hurries to taunt Brody and lead him on a wild goose chase! Or in this case, a chicken chase! Dean flounders his way to a cover, INFANTRY WINS!!!
Winners: The Infantry, by pinfall (advances to the quarterfinals)
Julia is shocked! She and Brody took their eyes off the ball, and now they’re out of the tournament! Malakai Black storms his way out here, furious over what just happened! Briscoe says that’s what they get, though! Will the Dark Father have to handle this himself now? As for The Infantry, can Dean & Bravo regroup and be ready for FTR?
Adam “Edge” Copeland is here!
Ottawa fires up as the Rated R Superstar is here, and he has that mystery case with him! He showed Christian Cage what was in it last week and it was like Captain Charisma saw a ghost! Edge already has a chair and mic waiting for him in the ring, so he sets the case down to pick up the mic. The fans cheer him on, and Edge says, “The last time that I performed here in Ottawa, I didn’t know if I’d ever perform here again, I really didn’t. But I gotta tell ya, when I walked into this arena today, all of the memories came flooding back. Because Ottawa, you and I share a lot of history. That reaction just gave me one more memory, so thank you.”
The fans cheer again, and Edge says on that note, he wasn’t sure he’d ever compete in Toronto again. The fans boo and Edge says yeah, he knows, but c’mon, that’s his hometown. But hey, this Wednesday, it is fitting that he faces a guy who for 40 years, Edge thought was his best friend. Edge takes a seat, and he tells Christian Cage, because he isn’t even gonna think of him as “Jay” anymore, that guy’s dead. Who knows what Christian has become. Actually, no, Edge does know, it’s “Christian Cage.” Christian bought into it all, his ego is out of control. The thing is, they were best friends before they ever even got into wrestling.
Sure, this business, this sport, cemented the friendship, but they were friends before ever becoming wrestlers. So Edge had thought they’d be friends long after. Sitting on their deck, sipping scotch, watching hockey, reminiscing about chasing their dreams. But not just chasing but crushing it! They did that! The fans cheer in agreement there. Edge chuckles and says fast-forward to now. Again, they’d talked about coming to AEW, and Christian was on board! Edge came here, he wanted to retire alongside Christian. Edge didn’t come here to take away Christian’s spot, to take his shine, to take the things Christian worked for and deserved.
Edge didn’t come here to do any of that, regardless of what Christian thinks, of what “that human goiter,” Nigel McGuiness has to say. But okay, that’s fine. Christian wanted to change that, right? At Worlds End, Edge failed. He isn’t used to repeated failures, they don’t exist in his world, so he picked himself up, dusted himself off, and he moved forward, and he is stronger for it. Edge decided to get to work, earn his shot, and he did the Cope Open. Edge earned his shot, and then what did Christian do? He and the Patriarchy took Edge out with a Con-Chair-to. The fans boo but Edge says that is the move he and Christian created, so maybe it was fitting.
But when Edge was out on the shelf after that, he got a phone call. A phone call from a man who in the past has had to remind Edge of who he is. That man called again and reminded Edge just who Edge is, and he decided to take a few cues from that man, another wrestling sociopath. That guy invented “Barbie,” invented “Janice,” and so Edge decided to invent… SPIKE! Edge opens up the box, and pulls out a black two-by-four with so many nails in it! Spike here is hungry and wants to take a bite outta Christian’s bony ass! The fans like the sound of that! Edge says that phone call from Mrs. Foley’s baby boy worked, Edge remembered!
Edge remembered who he is! He has kept it bottled up but he IS the Rated R Superstar, a man with dark caves in his head that Christian doesn’t and has never navigated! But be thankful for that. Though maybe not, because after this Wednesday, Christian will be in the hospital. Spike and Edge are gonna change Christian. They will take away Christian’s pride, his ego, and his manhood! This Wednesday, two kilometers from where they trained at Sonny’s Gym, Edge will make Christian say two words that will make it impossible to look his daughter in the eyes! Spike and Edge take away Christian’s pride, and make him those two words, “I QUIT!”
FORTY YEARS after this all started in their hometown, it ENDS!! The fans are fire dup, Edge looks Spike over, and you can bet Spike’s gonna get some serious screen time on Dynamite! But will Spike help Edge rip the TNT Championship away from Christian along with his pride and ego?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, lots of good story as well as great action. For one, Edge’s promo to close the night was great stuff, and I guess we should’ve figured “Spike” was the name of whatever was in the box. It’s a lot more menacing than what I was expecting last week, but not quite as menacing as Edge was making it sound. But win or lose, Edge is going to rely on Spike quite a bit in that match. Really good promos from Harley & Zak and Parker & Ruby. I am thinking there’s still a Mixed Tag in the near future, and that will somehow relate to Zak’s conditions.
Great tie in of the TBS Championship and the tag tournament wild card match. Adora’s stipulation basically kept this to just the House Rules of no ropebreaks and the 20 count on the outside, but of course Julia won either way. And then quite the plot twist with Mark Briscoe helping The Infantry win to screw over The House of Black. Sadly, it was also obvious Infantry was gonna win because they were the ones to get in FTR’s face, meaning they were gonna meet in the tournament. FTR will beat Infantry and move on to the semifinals, and maybe we get Mark VS Malakai 1v1 in a blowoff grudge match.
Great match from Garcia VS Moriarty to mostly give both guys solid TV time, and really good match from Pac VS Solo that Pac was of course winning. Pac had a good promo after, and while he keeps naming Tony Khan, Pac’s real target(s) should be The Elite. The Bucks are in the tag tournament, they can probably make sure security keeps Pac far away from them so Pac can’t do to them what Mark just did to the House of Black. But mostly, Pac’s probably getting his shot at Kazuchika Okada (and the AEW Continental Championship) after this Wednesday, going into Dynasty in April.
Great match from Kyle VS Keith, especially as Kyle’s first match back in literal years. Kyle of course won, and it was a good detail that The Undisputed Kingdom celebrated with him after honoring his request to do things alone. That will change at some point, though, as clearly The Kingdom isn’t the best at being friends. And then an awesome, almost PPV level match out of Bryan VS Shibata. Bryan also had a great promo to call out Ospreay, and then Claudio VS Archer was really good. It seems the BCC is starting a story with The Righteous now, which will be a big help to The Righteous as they haven’t really gotten to do anything since moving from ROH to AEW. Plus, they love violent matches, BCC loves violent matches, this is going to be some wild stuff.

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the AEW Champion of the World, M J F!” Orlando is a bit torn seeing The Scumbag make his way out to the ring. MJF gets his pyro rain and flicks his gum as he struts down the ramp, “Triple B” around his waist and his Dynamite Diamond Ring on his finger. He stands with Schiavone, and Schiavone says last week, MJF successfully defended the AEW World Championship against Bandido. MJF tells Schiavone to shut his “fat triple chin,” it is bad enough he has to look at the dumb shmucks in the crowd tonight. MJF hopes Schiavone can keep his geriatric hand up so the mic is at MJF’s mouth, okay?
The fans boo but MJF says, “Ladies and gentlemen, and I do use that term very loosely around these parts… You are looking at a man who wears beautiful watches, a man who wears custom suits, a man who wears diamond rings, Burberry shoes, Burberry scarves. I ride in helicopters, private jets, and limousines, and I’ve got the baddest girl you’ve ever seen. And do you know why, folks? it’s because I’m the best wrestler on God’s green earth. And if you don’t believe me, ladies and gentlemen, here is the proof: THE prize that every wrestler in this sport wishes they could obtain, Pretty Platinum, Triple B, the AEW World Championship.”
The fans are torn again, but MJF says, “Real gold, real diamonds, real platinum. This belt costs more than all of you miserable losers could possibly dream of having in your bank accounts. So if you ever see some shmuck on your TV screen in my sport claiming that they’re the best of the best and their name ain’t MJF, grab the remote and change the channel, cuz the only thing coming outta their mouth is the same thing coming outta their ass! I AM the World’s Champion! I hold the grandest prize of ’em all. I am professional wrestling, baby.
“And last week, Bandido was the first of many in a long line of losers to find out the hard way that 2026 is the Year of the Devil, and ain’t nobody on my level.” The fans boo as MJF holds up the belt with both hands to show it off, only for BRODY KING to appear! The fans cheer as the King of Death walks right down the ramp and to the ring, which has MJF very worried. Brody steps right to MJF, and Schiavone lets MJF have the mic for this. Brody gets his own mic while the fans cheer him on. MJF is a bit squirrely as Brody tells him he’ll be honest. After what MJF did to Bandido last week, the only thing Brody can think of is all the ways he wants to hurt MJF.
There is nothing that would bring Brody more joy than putting his fist through MJF’s chest and ripping out his spine! But, Brody won’t do that. MJF sighs in relief, but Brody says we all know MJF has no spine, he’s just a b*tch. The fans chant, “JUST A B*TCH!” Brody knows if he put his hands on MJF, he’ll never get what he wants. And what Brody wants is a match, so he can choke the life outta MJF, drop him on his head, and take the world championship, right here, right now, TONIGHT! Brody barks, the fans bark with him, and that’s quite the challenge! MJF says okay, he’ll just be over here if that’s cool.
MJF goes to a corner and says that is an interesting proposition. First of all, to think this over, if MJF could have complete silence from the morons for just a minute, that’d be great. The fans boo instead, but MJF says upon reflection, he thought long and hard and has to say no. And he’ll make it clear: It is not because MJF is afraid, that’s ridiculous! No, no, no. MJF gets it: Brody comes out here, barks, the morons bark back. The barking makes sense, because when MJF thinks about Brody King, the phrase that comes to mind is, “All bark, no bite.” Brody comes out here and challenges the world champion to a title match? “On what grounds, my big, burly friend?”
Who has Brody beaten? Oh, right, tomato cans, jabronies, and jobbers. If Brody wants the world champion, the greatest wrestler on earth, Brody has to beat elite talent. Until then, this match is not going to happen. The fans boo, but MJF says he wants to make one more thing clear: If Brody ever interrupts MJF ever again, they’ll have a prob- Brody steps up and MJF steps back. MJF says he has a lot on his plate, a busy schedule, a lot of competition to consider, so- Brody barks at MJF and MJF skitters to the apron. MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF’s outta here! The Scumbag is a rat, but he’s also a chicken. Will Brody take a bite out of AEW if it means he gets his hands on MJF?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page & #JetSpeed.
Renee Paquette is with the NEW AEW World Trios Champions, and says what a week they have had. The Cowboy promised to take everything from Samoa Joe, and now he, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey are champions. In moments, we see Bailey VS Samoa Joe 1v1 while Knight faces Swerve Strickland. They are wasting no time tonight. Hangman says tonight is a night for celebration. If they’re the trios champions now, they should decide on a trios name. Knight says he’s been thinking on that. He came up with #JetSetRodeo. Bailey says “Horse C-” WHOA! Um, Hangman suggested something like that before, not gonna work.
But Knight & Bailey are in big matches tonight against former world champions. This Saturday on Collision, Hangman has his own against Katsuyori Shibata. Whoa, for real? Yeah, he just made it now. Bailey says he’s got Joe, and he knows Knight has a huge challenge ahead of him with Swerve. Bailey wants Knight to fully focus on that while Bailey does what he does best. Knight says will do. Hangman says he doesn’t have to say this, because they’ve been around the world several times, but Bailey’s never faced Joe 1v1. Joe is tough, sturdy, robust, and hits hard. But Bailey is fast, flexible, and if he can outlast Joe, he will beat Joe.
The team fist bumps and Bailey heads out. Knight asks Hangman for advice on how to face Swerve. Hangman takes a moment, and says that’ll be one hell of a main event. The Cowboy heads out, will The Jet be able to fly high over Swerve’s House? Or will he be brought down by the Most Dangerous Man in AEW?
Samoa Joe VS “Speedball” Mike Bailey!
As Hangman just said, the Samoan Submission Specialist is strong, sturdy, and sadistic, but Speedball is, well, fast and agile. Which style wins out to kick off Dynamite in Orlando?
The bell rings and the fans rally up for Speedball already. Joe bails out and the fans boo, but Bailey tells Joe to get in the ring. Joe brushes that off, and he soaks up some heat from Orlando as he walks around the way. Joe then steps back in the ring and circles with Bailey. They tie up, Joe powers Bailey to a corner, but the ref counts. Joe smothers Bailey before he JABS! And JABS! Joe HEADBUTTS Bailey to sit him down, then HEADBUTTS again! The ref reprimands, the fans rally, but Joe drags Bailey up to ROCK him with a forearm. Bailey fires back, but Joe HEADBUTTS Bailey down again. Joe whips, Bailey reverses, but Joe blocks!
Joe whips through but Bailey BOOTS Joe! Joe snarl while Bailey runs, and Bailey BOOTS Joe again! Bailey runs, Joe blocks this time, but Bailey wrenches through to KICK Joe’s leg! And KICK, and KICK! Then KICK Joe in the chest! Joe swings, Bailey dodges, and Bailey DROPKICKS! Joe tumbles out of the ring while the fans fire up. Bailey runs, but Joe blocks the baseball slide to drag Bailey out! Joe CHOPS Bailey down and the fans are losing their minds! Bailey coughs and sputters while Joe talks trash. Joe stands Bailey up, SMACKS him off a chair, then gets space. Bailey sits up, Joe runs back in, but Bailey DROPKICKS Joe down!
The fans fire up as Bailey goes into the ring and builds speed! Bailey baseball slides this time, then he ASAI MOONSAULTS! Down goes Joe and the fans fire up again! Bailey is feeling that energy, and he shoves Joe into the ring, but wait! Here come Hook & Shibata! The fans boo The Opps but the ref tells them to stay back. Bailey goes into the ring, Joe ELBOWS him away! Then BOOTS him outta the ring! And then Joe distracts the ref so Shibata & Hook can mug Bailey! They RAM Bailey into the apron, stomp him around, then put Bailey in the ring. The fans boo and protest the ref not doing his job, but Joe stomps Bailey while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Joe drags Bailey up, snapmares, and CHOPS him on the back! Then Joe KICKS Bailey in the chest! Joe runs to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Bailey toughs it out but Joe stays focused. Joe drags Bailey up, but Bailey fires body shots! Joe POSTS Bailey and lets him fall out of the ring. Again, Joe distracts so The Opps can mug Bailey! Shibata even kicks Bailey into the ring! Shibata & Hook play innocent while Joe looms over Bailey. Joe stomps Bailey, Mongolian Chops him, then Mongolian Chops again! Joe clamps on a shoulder claw and he grinds Bailey down. Bailey endures, fights to his feet, and breaks free to ELBOW Joe!
Bailey runs, but Joe ELBOWS Bailey down! Joe is all fired up while he soaks up heat. Joe covers, TWO!! Bailey survives and Joe is annoyed. Joe clamps onto Bailey with a chinlock, and even digs his knee into Bailey’s back. Bailey endures again, pries at the hold, and fights up to fire body shots. Joe CLAWS Bailey’s face! The ref reprimands, Bailey backs away to a corner, but Joe storms over to stand Bailey up. Joe CHOPS and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally for Bailey and he CHOPS! Joe CHOPS again! Joe whips Bailey corner to corner, then runs up, but Bailey BOOTS Joe! Bailey goes out, GAMANGIRIS, then goes up!
Bailey leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK Joe down! The fans fire up while Bailey rises again! Hook & Shibata are annoyed as Bailey aims, SOBAT! AX KICK! And KICK! Joe sits down, Bailey winds up, STANDING SHOOTING FLOP as Joe moves! Joe runs, SENTON FLOP as Bailey moves! Then basement SUPERKICK! Bailey goes up, aims again, SHOOTING STAR PRESS! Cover, TWO! Joe survives and the fans can’t believe it! Bailey is also surprised, but he sees Joe going to the ring. Bailey KICKS Joe’s leg, then goes out to the apron to join him. Joe CHOPS, then HEADBUTTS, then he reels Bailey in.
Joe back suplexes, but Bailey lands inside the ring! Bailey SWEEPS the legs! Bailey goes back out, and lines it up, MOONSAULT KNEE DROP only gets apron! Joe then distracts the ref so Shibata can APRON SNAP SUPLEX! Then just like Saturday, they slide off the apron so Shibata can snap suplex to the floor! And then a SHIN BREAKER! Shibata puts Bailey in, the ref misses it all, and the fans boo. Joe stomps Bailey, stomps him again, then mocks the clapping. The fans still rally for Bailey, even as Joe stomps Bailey more. Joe stands Bailey up, ROCKS him, but Bailey fires back! And CHOPS! And CHOPS!
Joe lifts Bailey to tie up the legs! DOUBLE KNEE BREAKER! Bailey writhes and Joe grins while the fans boo. Joe grabs a leg for a HEEL HOOK! The fans rally as Bailey endures, and Bailey fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Joe lets go in annoyance, and he talks trash on Bailey. Joe JABS Bailey, then stalks him to the ropes. Joe KICKS Bailey’s leg, eggs him on, and Bailey stands. Joe KICKS again and Bailey drops to his knees. The fans rally for, uh, horse… Anyway, Joe kicks, but Bailey blocks, only for Joe to roll into the KNEEBAR HEEL HOOK COMBO!! Bailey flails, reaches out, and has the ROPEBREAK!
The fans cheer while Joe lets go, but Joe still has Bailey where he wants him. Bailey rises, but Joe KICKS the leg out! Joe grins as he toys with Bailey, and Bailey stands, into another KICK! Bailey flips head over heels, and Joe winds up again. Bailey stands, but he avoids the sweep this time! The fans cheer the crane stance! Joe says yeah right. CRANE KCIK! And PENALTY KICK! And MOONSAULT KNEE-DROP! The fans fire up as Bailey then BUZZSAWS! Cover, TWO!! Joe survives and Bailey is stunned, but the fans continue to rally up. Bailey slowly rises, as does Joe, and Bailey powers up! Bailey spins for the TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey shoves Joe down, goes up the corner, but Hook distracts! Bailey leaps, but Joe moves! Bailey hobbles, Hook grabs him, but Bailey ELBOWS Hook down! Joe runs up, Bailey dodges! Roll up, but Shibata tries to distract the ref! Cover, TWO!! Joe ducks a roundhouse, COQUINA CLUTCH! But Bailey kicks off the corner! Roll up and cover, TWO!! Joe lets Bailey go, but a HEEL KICK hits!! Bailey hurries up top, but Hook distracts the ref so Shibata can anchor Bailey! Joe ROCKS Bailey, tucks him in, MUSCLE BUSTER!! Cover, Joe wins!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by pinfall
You might as well put this as a 3v1 Handicap win for The Opps, but the fans aren’t the only ones upset by this. MJF is watching backstage, he knows Joe is also in the title chase. Will MJF have to face Joe again in the future? Or will someone else catch MJF first?
Six Man Street Fight: Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta VS Hechicero, Lance Archer & Rocky Romero!
The Maniac’s past is coming back to haunt him, as the scar left on Don Callis is the whole reason Don’s “family” wants to end the Death Riders! Will Red Dead & The Decoder help Moxley show us what a real family looks like? Or will the Alchemist, Murderhawk Monster & Azucar remind us that #EverybodyDies?
Don Callis of course joins commentary, claiming Moxley is a sociopath, and in a world without pro-wrestling, Moxley would be living behind a fence, if you catch his meaning. Archer, Hechi & Rocky are armed as they head to the ring, but The Death Riders don’t even wait for the introductions before they go after the DCF! The fans fire up as the brawl is on at ringside! Moxley is after Archer, Garcia has Rocky and Yuta has Hechi! Garcia fires knees into Rocky but Hechi CLUBS Yuta down. Moxley sends Archer into railing and practically dumps him into the front row! Hechi swings the trash can lid but Yuta dodges!
Yuta DECKS Hechi, rains down fists, and Garcia sends Rocky into railing! Moxley and Archer have ended up in the crowd as they brawl! Yuta DECKS Hechi, Moxley and Archer are already in the upper deck, and Moxley throws hands on Archer! Yuta kicks Rocky around, Moxley ROCKS Archer, and Garcia puts a trash can around Hechi’s leg. Garcia STOMPS the can to crush Hechi’s leg inside it! Hechi writhes, Garcia STOMPS the leg again, and Yuta stalks Rocky around the way with that trash can lid. Archer turns things around on Moxley and SMACKS him off railing! Garcia STOMPS Hechi’s leg again! Archer CLOBBERS Moxley with a trash can of his own!
Yuta keeps after Rocky in some other part of the crowd, and Garcia puts Hechi in an ANKLE LOCK! Hechi TAPS, but it only counts if it’s in the ring! Archer DUMPS Moxley over railing, Yuta chases Rocky back to ringside, and Archer AX HANDLES Moxley! Hechi rolls to kick at Garcia, Rocky hits Yuta back, and Moxley CHUCKS a chair at Archer! Rocky JAMS Garcia, SMACKS him, but Yuta sends Rocky into railing! Moxley rains down fists on Archer, the fans count along, and Moxley goes past TEN to about EIGHTEEN! Then Moxley & Garcia send Yuta in for an ELBOW! Garcia LARIATS! Moxley LARIATS! And repeat!
The fans cheer the cycle of violence, then the Death Riders CLOBBER Rocky as he steps into the ring. Archer gets up to guzel Moxley, and guzel Garcia, but that leaves him open for Yuta to DROPKICK! Then Moxley & Garcia DOUBLE LARIAT Archer up and out! Archer stumbles around, Yuta builds speed, and Yuta DIVES onto Archer! Archer tumbles away while Garcia & Moxley mug Hechi. Yuta follows Archer, but Archer grabs him! CHOKE SLAM through the timekeeper’s table! The fans go nuts as Archer roars and rises again! Moxley jumps on Archer for a SLEEPER! Archer breaks free, and Rocky runs Garcia all the way around while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Archer sends Moxley into railing while Rocky feeds Garcia to Hechi’s trash can attack! Hechi stomps Garcia around, then stands him up.

But when Thekla pins Kris once, Kris gets all angry and asks what Thekla wants to do about it. Well, Thekla wants to give Kris one more week to enjoy her life. One more week to prepare her friends and family, and one more week to pretend Thekla is intimidated by her alien a-hole routine. Then, next Wednesday in Austin, Thekal gets her title match. Is that okay, Big Stat Daddy? Then Skye Blue says the Triangle has room for more. Julia Hart tells Willow Nightingale that she is TBS Champion, but they never had their rematch.

Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron speak.
The Cosmic Babes of Wrath are backstage, and Kris doesn’t think Thekla gets it. Underneath this title is a lot less cosmic and a lot more killer. Her body is built for performance, her heart is built to fight, and her mind can get sicker than even Thekla can dream of. So if Thekla wants to drown Kris in toxicity, she’ll take Thekla down with her. But on Collision, if anyone wants an Eliminator, Kris will gladly show you what she means. Harley likes the sound of that! Willow says that for her, this TBS Championship has been about silencing doubt. Mercedes Mone knows that, and Julia Hart, Willow’s been waiting almost two YEARS to get in that ring, look you in the eyes, and do it again.
So Saturday, if Julia wants her rematch, Willow can’t wait to powerbomb her in the middle of that ring and show you why the light always exposes the dark, especially in the Sunshine State. Harley says she is so here for it! And she will also be there for it! And, well, she didn’t think on what else she was gonna say, but Skye Blue, don’t think they forgot about you and your little spooky self. If Skye interferes in any way, Harley will punch her right in the face! Who are they? BABES! What do they have? WRATH! And they have every title that you want. So let’s go have some fun. Talk about a Collision! Who survives when there’s gold, and a grudge, on the line?

Knight fights up, fires some knees, but Swerve puts him in the corner. Swerve puts Knight up top, climbs up after him, and has him on the very top! The fans fire up as Knight fights back! Knight hops down, fans still chant “Please Be Careful!” as Swerve adjusts. Knight ROCKS Swerve, then goes up, to the UPPER ROOM!!
The fans are going nuts again as Knight hurries to another corner! He aims at Swerve, to go COAST2COAST!! Then Knight goes back up, for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Swerve survives by a literal foot and Knight cannot believe it! The fans are thunderous as this continues! “This is Awesome!” as Knight aims from a corner. Time to fly! HOUSE CALL!?! The fans go nuts as Knight then fireman’s carries, but Swerve fires a flurry! Knight still powers up to GUT- NO, Swerve lands out to SOBAT, HAYMAKER, and- ROLLING ELBOW from Knight! BOOT from Swerve! Knight and Swerve DOUBLE BOOT!
Then they both run, duck ‘n’ dodge, and LEAPING- HOUSE CALL!!! Swerve elevates, and he brings Knight up for a reverse Gory Especial!? VERTEBREAKER!! And that’s not all, half nelson for the BIG PRESSURE!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
MJF is not pleased! Swerve and Knight made some magic here in Orlando, and while the former AEW World Champion proved he’s still in the picture, The Jet proved he’s not that far behind. Will The Scumbag have to worry about both of them as he looks to set a new record with this reign? Or will someone beat them to the punch?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here to follow Maximum Carnage and bridge the gap to what is shaping up to be a huge episode next week, too. Very good opening promo from MJF with Brody King to not only tease that possible title match, but to also establish MJF as a bit of a throughline given his other archenemies were in action tonight. Great promo from Hangman & JetSpeed, and of the suggested names, Jet Set Rodeo is great, especially since it references Jet Set Radio, and is just not Horse C*ck. It’s a silly gag but no, we need a name we can say in public. But also, a great character detail as Hangman gives Bailey tips on Samoa Joe, but Hangman holds back with Swerve. Hangman is trying to be cool with Swerve, so he doesn’t wanna sell Swerve out, but he hates Joe so he doesn’t give a damn.
Joe VS Bailey was great, even with the overbooking from the remaining Opps. That overbooking helped protect Bailey in his loss but still gave Joe the win he needed to stay in the title chase. Omega VS Alexander was great stuff, and Callis continues to be a hilarious Heel for how quickly he runs away from Omega. Great win for Omega, too, and he kinda left things open ended. Either there’s gonna be Omega VS Andrade, or Omega gives us dream matches with others as part of him building his record towards a title match. Though, Omega VS Andrade can oddly still happen as part of that, as Andrade is already building momentum for himself via Collision.
The Don Callis Family probably needs to focus on the Death Riders anyway. That Six Man Street Fight was awesome, mostly because it did not stay to just 3v3, as I knew it would (wouldn’t?). But how awesome that it also got fans to accept all of the Death Riders, not just Moxley, as a Face. Though, to be fair, this was the age old tactic of turning Heels into Faces by pitting them against even more hated Heels. Great win for Death Riders here, and Moxley was perhaps calling out Okada through that parting message. Okada lost to Moxley in the C2 finals, he surely will want that Continental Championship back, and Moxley is likely glad to give Okada a rematch where both men are 100%.
Awesome first showing from Price & Oliver against FTR, but it was really funny for Stokely to be clearly showing off how he’s spending that money people are kayfabe donating to him. That wheelchair was all tricked out, and commentary even mentioned new shoes. FTR wins, of course, and they’re going to have an awesome match with Davis & Doyle next week. I did not think they’d do the match so soon, but maybe they want things to be a big surprise when D&D win. But like, what’re the odds they win on TV? There’s also the TNT Championship match, and as I said last week, Clon’s win streak ending so early would be a little disappointing.
Great tag match from Love Bombs VS Megan & Penelope, but I had a feeling Marina would interfere to help Megan & Penelope win. Marina is only Tweener right now given this story, and maybe Love Bombs recruit a third for a Six Woman Tag to finally settle things. Great promos from Triangle of Madness and Cosmic Babes of Wrath. Kris’s open challenge will be a great match but an obvious win for Kris, while Willow VS Julia could go either way. The Triangle could cheat things so that Julia takes that title, but that feels like a shame for Willow’s second reign. But I mean, something’s gotta give when it comes to Willow’s double championship reign, so maybe the TBS title is the one that can be hot potato’d around.
And awesome main event from Swerve VS Knight. That was an instant classic, and Knight really did prove himself here. That was practically a title match in itself, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Knight goes for Okada’s International Championship given the win in the C2. But for now, Swerve still wins out because he also needs that momentum towards the world title. MJF already feels the walls closing in, maybe AEW puts together a big contender’s tournament at some point. Grand Slam: Australia is a good spot for at least crowning a contender, then that guy and MJF build towards Revolution.
My Score: 9.1/10
