PLAY BY PLAY

Ricochet speaks.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you know who it is, so please, show some love for Ricochet, your soon to be NEW International Champion. Because if Shibata is a smart man, he’ll take my advice and he’ll just forfeit. He’ll give up and allow me to move on to Dynamite next week. And if not, I guess I will have to continue to show everybody why I am Outta This World. AHA~!”

Katsuyori Shibata “speaks.”

His text reader says, “Shut up, baldie.” Will The Wrestler show that actions speak louder than words?

Mark Davis speaks.

“Chicken man, I never would’ve believed it, but you might just be even more insane than you look. Stepping in the ring tonight with Dunkzilla, I’m a chop you up, I’m a pluck those feathers, and I’m gonna eat you for dinner.”

Mark Briscoe speaks.

“I got my eyes set on that International title at Dynasty. Kenny Omega, I’m coming for you! But tonight, Mark Davis, you in my way! So I’m gonna run right through you, big man! RAH RAH RAH!” Which Mark hits the mark and heads for Dynamite’s Fatal 4 Way?

The Undisputed Kingdom speaks.

Roderick Strong tells, “KYYYLE~! Tonight, we prove to FTR that we are the best tag team on planet Earth.” Kyle O’Reilly says, “That’s right, Roddy.” They beat FTR once, and it was no fluke. Tonight, they do it again. Adam Cole says, “And that is undisputed.”

FTR speaks.

Cash Wheeler says, “So a few weeks ago, we made a mistake that cost us the match against Roddy & Kyle. But tonight, here in Vegas, put all your money, bet the house, on FTR.” Dax Harwood says, “I imagine if you guys beat FTR, that’ll put you right in line for an AEW World Tag Team title shot. I’m not gonna apologize for spoiling your party, but it ain’t happening at our expense. Top Guys Out.” But will Dax & Cash make good on this rematch? Or will this be a bet they lose big time?

AEW International Championship Eliminator Tournament Opening Round: Ricochet VS Katsuyori Shibata!

We heard how the One & Only thinks he should be the one that faces Kenny Omega, but he’ll have to get through The Wrestler! Will Shibata knock Ricochet off his high horse to then represent Japan in the Fatal 4 Way? Or will Ricochet make up for losing to Swerve Strickland at Revolution?

Toni Storm speaks.

“My name is Timeless Toni Storm, and I am your AEW Women’s World Champion. And by God, welcome to Las Vegas. After a hearty evening of filling up slots, hitting on anything over 21, and making Wayne Newton scream Danke Schoen, I am ready for some Collision. And there is no one I would like to collide with more than Megan Bayne. What sort of perverted fanfiction did they write you up in, hey? You want to blindside me in my spotlight? Then I would love to see what you will do in front of my face.

“Darling, you want to swim around like some sort of hammerhead terrorizing the guppies of AEW waters? Then I have no problem making shark fin soup, and then being put away again for animal cruelty. And that goes for all the women in this company and beyond. You want to fight for gold? Then step up to the table and place your bets, shake your fists and blow! Because everything will come up… TIIIMELESS~!” The champion smiles, then uses the belt as a compress. Will no one ever stop the reign now that Ms. Storm is back on top?

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Griff Garrison w/ The Frat House!

After chopping down The Redwood and helping Hologram get even with La Faccion Ingobernable, the Powerhouse is looking to get back on track towards his own goals. Will the Book of Hobbs start a chapter about grabbing up titles? Or will the Ivy League MVP win one for the Frat House?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for Hobbs as he makes the pecs dance. Griff says he can do that, but the fans cheer on Hobbs. Griff LARIATS, but Hobbs doesn’t budge!

Will even Truth & Turbo get back on track towards a title opportunity?

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.

Lexy Nair is with La Mera Mera and says given everything that’s happened between her and Megan Bayne, she mentioned Megan’s lack of respect. How does this affect Rosa going into the match tonight? Rosa asks, “Do you know what this business is built on? It is built on respect. And there are women here who think that they’re too big and too pretty or maybe too good to come and respect the women who come and lay themselves for this business and AEW. Yes, Megan Bayne, I’m talking too! I’m so sick and tired of you disrespecting me! Disrespecting Kris Statlander!

“And let’s talk about what you did to Toni Storm last Wednesday! You don’t do that to our champion. And guess what? Thunder Rosa, La Mera Mera, has bigger ovaries than your braincells! So tonight, I’m gonna teach you a lesson in-” MEGAN BAYNE ATTACKS NOW! Megan fires off knees on Rosa, CLUBS her down, then KICKS her in the side! Megan stands over Rosa and smiles before she storms off. Rosa clutches her side and says her ribs hurt. Lexy calls for a medic, did Megan just disrespectfully cancel tonight’s match?

AEW International Championship Eliminator Tournament Opening Round: Mark Davis VS Mark Briscoe!

Dunkzilla is all warmed up after helping beat down random guys in the back, but he’s gonna have to #ManUp if he wants to do that to the former ROH World Champion! Will the United States of America have three-fourths representation in the Fatal 4 Way? Or will Davis win this one for Aussie Open?

Swerve Strickland is here!

Las Vegas becomes “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” as The Realest #1 Contender to the AEW World Championship goes to the ring. Swerve grabs a mic to ask, “Las Vegas, what’s good with you? Last Sunday, I did exactly what I said I was going to do, and that was beat Ricochet to become the #1 Contender for the AEW World Championship.” The fans cheer that! Swerve doesn’t take anything away from Ricochet, he is tough as hell. Probably one of the best to ever step foot in the ring. Hell, Ricochet even ruptured Swerve’s eardrum. But Swerve warned Ricochet about stepping to the Most Dangerous Man in AEW gets you put down.

And if you wanna challenge him again, Ricochet, Swerve will gladly accept it so he can slap your bald head back to the ground again. The fans cheer that! Swerve hears the fans chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” and smiles. Swerve is sorry that Nana wasn’t here, but Nana is safeguarding the Embassy Robe so that Swerve can focus on the big things, the important things, like the AEW World Championship. The top prize for the best roster in the world. To compete for that championship, you have to be great. But to win that championship, you have to be elite. And last year, Swerve was All Elite! Last year at Dynasty, Swerve became AEW World Champion!

The fans cheer, and Swerve says 126 days, he was All Elite. And it seems that history repeats itself, because he will not be across from the champion in just three weeks. Swerve will have a chance to lead the Dynasty once again. That said, next week in Omaha, Nebraska, we have Jon Moxley VS Adam Copeland once again, but in a Street Fight. The fans boo a bit but Swerve smiles. Swerve says that you probably know he and Cope go way back. Swerve looked up to that man since he was a kid, so all Swerve’s life. A few years ago, Cope took Swerve under the ring and taught him what it was to seize the opportunity.

To put it this way, you don’t become dangerous without learning from the Rated R. But make no mistake about it, Cope, Swerve will reiterate something Cope once said: Whether you are challenger, or whether you are champion, you’re in my way. Right now, Cope is a legend and an icon, but he is in the way of the future of AEW, and Swerve will mow him down. Now, there’s also Jon Moxley. The fans boo again, and Swerve says Moxley is a FOUR-TIME AEW World Champion. You don’t become that without being an elite level performer. Swerve used to think he and Moxley were cut from the same cloth.

Until Moxley mentioned that there is no one that can hold down the world title like Moxley. Swerve doesn’t believe Moxley believes his own words! So much so, we have to listen to the dribble night in and night out, Moxley standing in the back, in boiler rooms, talking in riddles. All Swerve sees when he looks at Moxley is true desperation! And desperation is all Moxley will have, because to catch a maniac, you have to send a maniac! In three weeks, Dynasty in Philadelphia, whether it is Moxley or Cope, the result doesn’t matter, the Dynasty Era continues! And it will be Swerve that takes back the world title to turn AEW back to whose house?

MOXLEY SLITHERS IN FROM THE CROWD! And he CLOBBERS Swerve with a crowbar!! The fans boo and shout, but Moxley takes aim again. CURB STOMP!! Swerve writhes, Moxley storms his way back out of the arena, and then Moxley goes to the parking lot. “Consider that a free lesson: Respect won’t get you anywhere, Swerve! Swerve, Jay White, all these guys trying to back me into a corner! Copeland, you’re all amateurs! The Rated R Superstar, I hate your guts! I hate what you turned me into! I hate what you’ve done to me! On Wednesday night, IT’S OVER!! The Rated R Superman Superstar is a dead man.

“Wednesday night on Dynamite, Copeland, it’s ON!!” Moxley has sent his message to everyone else in AEW, will anyone end this reign of terror?

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.

Lexy is again with La Mera Mera for a health update. Can Rosa still compete tonight? Rosa says don’t ask the doctor, you ask Rosa. And Rosa won’t let Megan punk her out tonight! It is time to effin’ go!! Rosa storms out of the trainer’s room, will she regret going after The Megasus at anything less than 100%?

Six Man Tag: Holo.grm & Top Flight VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

The futuristic luchador has been picking up speed ever since he returned from injury, and now he might achieve takeoff alongside Dante & Darius Martin! Will three high-fliers make leaps and bounds towards title opportunities? Or will Lee Moriarty, Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo show them how to rumble, bad man, rumble?

The trios sort out, Hologram starts against #TAIGASTYLE, but wait, The Cru is here? Lio Rush & Action Andretti have been watching other tag teams in AEW, but it makes sense they’d watch their former friends, Top Flight. The bell rings and Hologram circles with Lee. They feel things out, tie up, and Lee wrenches to wristlock and wrangle Hologram. Hologram kips up, Lee grabs both arms for a motorcycle stretch. Hologram flips, spins things around, and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, ONE! Hologram wrenches and spins Lee, but Lee full nelsons. Hologram uses a leg for leverage in breaking that, then he victory rolls Lee!

Hologram steps forward, leans back into a JAPANESE LEG ROLL, ONE and Lee turns that around for his own! Hologram stops that to roll Lee up, TWO! Lee CLOBBERS Hologram, then soaks up the heat. The fans rally for Hologram, and he reaches up to twist and RANA! And “Harley-gram” is backstage watching! The fans rally as Hologram dodges Lee, then handsprings to stare him down! Hologram and Lee back off, tag to Dante and Dean. Things speed up, Dante dodges and A-LIST LARIATS Dean int he corner! Tag to Darius for the snap suplex, and a kip up to tag Dante back in, slingshot SENTON!

Carlie & Lee coach Dean but Dante brings Dean up. Dean pushes free, takes a swing, but Dante gets around to arm-drag! Dante has the armlock, Dean fights up, and Dean whips Dante away. Dante rolls under, comes back, and he jumps, but Dean denies the rana! Dante DROPKICKS Dean and then talks trash on Action. Action dares Dante to bring it, but Dean waistlocks. Dante switches, headlocks, but Carlie tags in as Dean powers out. Dante runs up on Dean but Dean BOOTS him! Carlie is there to BOOT Dante down! The fans boo but Lee applauds, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Carlie RAMS Dante into the STP corner, then STP all mugs Dante! The ref counts, Dean & Lee let off, and Carlie swaggers around. Carlie storms back over, tags in Dean, and Dean sends Carlie in for a forearm SMASH! Then “Psyche!” Carlie is sent back in for another forearm SMASH! Dean runs up to ELBOW Dante, then LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante toughs it out but Dean stomps him to ropes. Dean tags Lee, Lee scrapes his soles off Dante’s face. Lee clamps onto the arm, grinds Dante down, but Dante endures. Dante fights up, fires body shots, but Lee bends fingers! Lee wrangles Dante, SNAPS the fingers, then puts Dante in the corner.

Tag to Carlie and Carlie CHOPS Dante! Carlie taunts the fans, CHOPS Dante again, then also tells The Cru to watch it. Carlie steps on Dante’s neck, “apologizes,” then dares Dante to go for his corner. Carlie puts Dante back in the STP corner, tags in Dean, and the mugging continues. Dean brings Dante up to scoop and SLAM! Dean stays between Dante and his team, then runs to drop a JUMP ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Dean is frustrated, but he keeps Dante down with an armlock. Dante endures, Lio is vlogging this, but Dante fights up. Dean facelocks Dante to then knee him low. Dean ROCKS Dante, The Cru talks trash, and Collision returns to single picture.

Carlie tags in, The Infantry whips Dante back into the STP corner, then Dean sends Carlie in. Dean TOSSES Carlie out! And he BLATS Lee, BOOTS Dean, then runs up. Dean catches Dante to keep him from his corner! Atomic drop! Dean BLASTS Darius & Hologram, then Carlie hits a SOMERSAULT FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Carlie clamps onto Dante while Harley-gram is still watching. Harley-gram is confronted by Beast Mortos?! These two stare down while the fans rally for Dante. Dante fights up, the fans rally, and Dante JAWBREAKERS free! Dante crawls, Carlie anchors legs, and we check in with Spanish commentary if Dralistico can give us explanations as to Mortos’ actions.

Dralistico seems just as confused as we are about this, but it seems Mortos is enamored with Harley-gram. Meanwhile, Dante kicks free of Carlie, Dean tags in, and he stops Dante short! Back suplex, but Dante lands out! Carlie waistlocks, Dante elbows free, and he dodges Dean! Hot tag to Darius! Darius rallies on STP, then fires shots on Dean! Darius whips, Dean reverses, but Darius atomic drops and BULLDOG HOTSHOTS! Darius SUPERKICKS Lee, ROUNDHOUSES Carlie, and GAMANGIRIS Dean! Dean staggers, into the springboard FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Dean stays in this, Shane coaches him up.

Darius brings Dean up, Dean JAWBREAKERS free, then Carlie sneaks a tag. Darius ROCKS Dean, UPPERCUTS him, then whips corner to corner. Dean reverses, then Carlie runs up to SMASH Darius! Feed to Dean’s FLYING LARIAT! Carlie BLASTS Hologram, the Infantry gets Darius up, ASSISTED URENAGE! Cover, Hologram breaks it! The fans fire up but Dean CLOBBERS Hologram! Dante runs up, Dean picks him up, but Dante RANAS Dean out of the ring! Lee runs up, Hologram dodges to roll and arm-drag! Hologram builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit into Lee into railing! The fans fire up but The Cru is furious!

Darius avoids Carlie’s scissor kick! Darius waistlocks Carlie to O’Conner Roll, TWO! Dante tags in, Darius gets around Carlie! Carlie fights free, but gets a SHOTGUN GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Dante stares The Cru down as he covers, Top Flight & Hologram win!

Winners: Hologram & Top Flight, by pinfall

Dante stares daggers at The Cru but they don’t sweat him. Will The Man of the Hour and the Sight to See ground Top Flight once and for all? As for Hologram, he sees Dralistico on commentary and is having his own stare down. Will LFI reel in Mortos before he has a change of heart?

Alex Abrahantes speaks.

“LFI, months ago, you took out Hologram, you took out Komander, and that’s something neither one of them has forgotten. So if you want to prove you’re as tough as you say you are, allow us to make a challenge to you. But be aware: what you’ve done, LFI, is bring two of the most exciting and unique luchadores together. They aren’t some random competitors, they are lucha stars. And they challenge you, LFI, because united we stand, and together, you will fall!” The Hype Man has issued the ultimatum to LFI, will Rush, Dralistico y Mortos learn to respect Hologram y Komander?

Winner: FTR, by pinfall

Cole is fuming but he hurries to ringside to check on his guys. Garcia thanks Schiavone & Nigel for welcoming him, and he excuses himself to go celebrate with his Top Guys. No flukes here, but now Cole and Garcia have one week to prepare for their own showdown. They stare down now, and Cole offers a handshake. Garcia takes it, the fans cheer the respect, and then Roddy & Kyle offer the same. FTR still leaves The Kingdom hanging? Even Garcia is surprised by that. But will there still be respect for Cole and Garcia after their Slam Dunk Saturday showdown?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision here, but I’m still not much for cold open promos. It’s really only an issue when trying to keep up and write stuff like this, because the wrestlers still do a great job. It just seems unnecessary when there are other promos both tonight and during the week that help us understand story. I can’t say for sure, but I doubt there are fans watching only Collision and not Dynamite. Just get to Ricochet VS Shibata as the opening moment for even more of a great match. As I predicted on Wednesday, we got both Heels winning tonight since Orange Cassidy and Mike Bailey won on Wednesday.

Great promo from Toni Storm, and a good one from Rosa, but I could just feel an attack ready to happen for Rosa’s. Megan Bayne is clearly building up to be that next challenger, she damages Rosa before their match, and then has a fairly easy time with Rosa in the match. Toni making the save only to need saving was also a nice twist. As I said on Dynamite, this next feud is about Toni overcoming someone so much bigger and stronger than her. Think like Rocky 4 and Rocky having to fight Ivan Drago. At the same time, if Megan & Penelope find a third, they can have a pretty good Six Woman Tag with Toni, Rosa & Kris. Gasp. Willow shocking us by going Heel because it’s Kris?

Very good promo from Swerve to put Ricochet over just a little bit. Swerve calling out both Cope and Moxley equally was also good, and of course Moxley would attack Swerve. He got payback from how Revolution ended, and gives one more ultimatum of his own before the Street Fight with Cope. Also, I wonder if the ambulances in the parking lot acts as foreshadowing. After all, Cope and friends hospitalized Pac, Claudio & Marina, and they’ll be coming back for revenge of their own. It’s half the reason the stipulation is “Street Fight,” aka no disqualifications and nothing to be done should they ALL attack and screw Cope over.

Good stuff from the Don Callis Family just wrecking people, but there is some match order and basically filler stuff going on that was just weird. Commentary called the Six Man Tag the “standby” match, aka the match they didn’t think they’d put on tonight, but no, no, no. Hobbs crushing The Frat House should’ve been the “standby” match, no way should The Frat House be getting on an AEW card on purpose. But that aside, Outrunners getting to help Hobbs was good stuff, and I’m sure we’ll get a Six Man Tag from that. And if Hobbs was going to get involved alongside Briscoe in going after Don Callis Family, why not just let this be Hobbs’ thing instead of that filler?

Sadly, Top Flight & Hologram VS STP wasn’t much better in the end. It was less about that actual match and more about plugging The Cru back into a story with Top Flight, and making a story out of “Harley-gram” and Mortos. Beauty & The Beast Mortos is going to be quite the romcom. But why is Harley being relegated to this when she was doing so well as herself? Good promo from Abrahantes to call out LFI and set up a tag match, though. Komander & Hologram VS Dralistico & Mortos is going to be fast ‘n’ furious, but I already have a feeling Harley’s presence is going to cost LFI.

At least FTR VS Kyle & Roddy was an awesome main event, bordering on PPV worthy. Cole and Garcia on commentary was some good stuff, but obviously all about plugging their title match next week. I figured FTR would win, but it feels like they’re slowly turning Heel. They didn’t show respect at the end there, and Dax has been on that “I’m not gonna apologize” thing for a few weeks. I don’t know if Garcia is going to start using that same attitude or if he cuts ties with them because of it. But Cole VS Garcia will be awesome stuff, and hard to call. Would they really do a title change on an episode that is partially preempted because of basketball? It’d give fans reasons to actually care about Collision.

My Score: 8.8/10
