PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

He welcomes us to Collision back in Seattle, and brings up FTR & #BigStoke wanting a face-to-face, so Schiavone introduces The Outrunners! Seattle cheers Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd as they make their way to the ring. Then Schiavone gives FTR their introductions and the fans boo. Stokely Hathaway leads the way for Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood, a mic already in hand. Stokely says, “So, so, so, so… In theory, FTR should be challenging for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. But, but, but first, they must address and clear the air about what happened on Collision. I am, what do you all say? Flabbergasted?

“I am flabbergasted and your behavior.” Oh, he’s flabbergasted with the Outrunners? Yes, because last time we checked, it was just a few months ago that they were all hee-hee and haha as friends. But now, they’re enemies? What the hell happened?! Cash thanks Stokely and says beautifully said. No one is more flabbergasted than FTR. What could they possibly have done to offense The Outrunners? And down for them! They were mentoring The Outrunners and took them to heights they weren’t even close to! But now they have a problem when FTR has done nothing wrong?! They only ever looked out for FTR!

But oh, that’s when this became a problem! That’s when Adam Copeland had a problem! That’s when Daniel Garcia had a problem! And now, that’s apparently when The Outrunners had a problem. But before they make any rash decisions or any dumb moves, think about what you’re throwing away. The mentorship, t he weight sessions, the tanning sessions. Cash tells the fans to hold on, he’s talking. Cash has a gift made for them, it is near and dear to his heart, and so please, watch the film. The video plays of the times #FTRunners had together, oddly set to a ballad… Dax wants to talk but the fans boo.

Dax says they were friends! family even! But jealousy reared its ugly head, and maybe, just maybe, The Outrunners realized that there are the Outrunners and their ceiling, and then FTR and their ceiling. But that’s not shade, that’s not insulting them. They saw how popular the Outrunners were! Dax saw the numbers, he saw the merchandise sales! They were top sellers, and around the world, the people loved them! Don’t cheer yet, Dax is still talking. Then The Outrunners got their opportunity. They were one chance away from immortality! They could’ve been AEW World Tag Team Champions, and what happened?

The Outrunners seethe, the fans boo, but Dax says the Outrunners embarrassed themselves! Just like they always do! That is when the fans started thinking, “OMG, these guys are a joke! They’re just a meme! They’re a comedy act!” But the fans aren’t laughing with The Outrunners, they’re laughing AT the Outrunners! The fans boo that, but Dax says no one cares about The Outrunners, and they never did! The fans chant for The Outrunners but Dax wants them to stop, this is his time to talk! Dax insists that the fans never cared about The Outrunners. The Outrunners go and turn on FTR, when all they had to do was latch onto FTR’s coattails!

Instead, Outrunners sided with the people! “Break your bodies! This is Awesome! Give me five stars, Dave!” But that’s what they wanted. And Dax isn’t blaming them> He isn’t mad at them. They’ll have to learn the hard way, just like FTR did. The fans will turn on The Outrunners the same as they did FTR. But this shtick, this gag, this will make them money, but it will never make them FTR money. Because The Outrunners will never be FTR great. #TopGuysOut. FTR leave the ring, but Truth picks up the mic., “Y’know something, Dax? Maybe you’re right. Maybe The Outrunner aren’t everybody’s cup of tea. Maybe we like to have a little bit of fun sometimes.

“And yeah, maybe we came up short against the Hurt Syndicate. But from the bottom of my heart, I know there’s one thing you’re dead wrong about. I look out into this crow… I see all these Outrunners shirts! I’ll be DAMNED if these people ever stop believing in The Outrunners!” The fans fire up, and Turbo says, “Truth Magnum, I don’t think this was ever a mistake of you not believing in me, or me not believing in you, or any of these people not believing in The Outrunners!” The fans cheer again, and Turbo says the biggest mistake was… that they ever believed in FTR! They thought FTR would be mentors and friends, and take them to the top!

But then the second something just a little bit better came along, FTR dropped The Outrunners like a bad habit! The Outrunners like the flex, they like to have fun, but htey are on this Earth to wrestle and entertain! And after tonight, they’re here on this Earth to whoop FTR’s ass! FTR storms back to the ring, but then Stokely stops them. Stokely says they would, but here’s the thing. FTR doesn’t fight for free! And especially not in Seattle, Washington. However… If Outrunners wanna fight, let’s do it in Ontario, California! See you there, boys! NOW #TopGuysOut! Then will The Outrunners run FTR over for Collision 100?

Christian Cage & Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith!

While The Patriarchy has the ROH World TV Champion, they also want the AEW World Tag Team Championships! Will the (self-proclaimed) Father of the Year and his Prodigy “son” begin their journey towards history? Or will the Redwood & Bad Apple sour things for them while going for their own title opportunity?

The teams sort out and Keith starts against Nick. The fans rally for Nick as the hometown boy, and the two tie up. Keith powers Nick to a corner, the ref counts, but Nick steps out to the apron. The fans chant for “DEFY! DEFY!” while Keith slowly backs off. Nick and Keith reset, feel things out, and knuckle lock. Keith wrenches and wristlocks, but Nick slips around to waistlock. Nick spins and snapmares Keith, but Keith wrenches and hammerlocks Nick on the mat. Nick fights up, reaches back, and snapmares Keith, only for Keith to wrench and hammerlock again! The fans rally, Nick reaches back and then switches the hammerlock, but Keith switches it back on!

Nick ELBOWS free, headlocks Keith, but Keith powers up and out. Nick stops and KICKS Keith! Keith grins, then scowls. Nick SLAPS Keith and now Keith is mad! Keith fakes a chop to make Nick flinch, and Keith SLAPS Nick on the back! Nick stands back up and Keith CHOPS him down! Nick flounders, tag to Christian, and the fans rally again. Christian and Keith stare down, but then Keith tags in Bill. Christian wants out but Nick is still on the floor. Christian circles with Bill, Christian tells Seattle to shut up, and then the two tie up. Bill THROWS Christian down and the fans fire up! Christian checks his jaw while Bill soaks up the cheers.

Christian stands up, he and Bill circle, but then Christian tags Nick! Nick runs up but Bill RUNS Nick over! Bill hauls Nick up, tags Keith, and then Bill scoops Nick to SLAM him! Keith drops a KNEE!

Bill storms in, lifts Nick, and then THROWS Nick at Christian! Father and son flounder, Bill LARIATS Christian up and out! Keith is on the apron, he CANNONBALLS Christian & Nick down! The fans fire up and Collision goes picture in picture.

The fans applaud while Keith waits in the ring. Keith storms out, he has Kip & Shayna back off, and then he drags Nick up to CHOP! Keith pushes Nick back in, then scoops him for a SLAM! Nick writhes, Keith goes up the corner, but Christian distracts. This lets Nick CLOBBER Keith off the corner! Bill hurries over to chase off Kip, the ref tells Bill to go back to his corner, but he also does warn Kip. Bill checks on Keith and Keith manages to sit up. Nick distracts the ref and Kip stomps away on Keith! Bill chases Kip now, but the ref stops Bill from getting close! This lets Nick & Christian beat up on Keith!

Nick drops a leg, brother! Cover, TWO! Keith stays in this and Bill returns to his corner. Nick CHOPS Keith to the Patriarchy corner, then tags Christian. They mug Keith, Christian rains down fists, then Christian digs his boots in! The ref counts, and Christian steps off to soak up heat. Collision returns to single picture as Christian CHOPS Keith! Tag to Nick, the Patriarchy mugs Keith, and Nick snap suplexes. Cover, ONE!! Keith is tougher than that but Nick keeps him from Bill. Tag to Christian, the mugging continues, and Christian CLAWS Keith’s face! The ref reprimands, but Keith fires a flurry of forearms!

Christian kicks low, dragon sleepers, and REVERSE DDTS! Cover, TWO! Christian sits Keith up for a chinlock, and he even digs his knee into Keith’s back. Keith endures, the fans rally, and Keith fires hands. Christian ROCKS Keith,  hooks the arms, but Keith shoves Christian away! Christian comes back, but heads collide! The fans rally while both men are down! Christian and Keith crawl, reach out, hot tags to Nick and Bill! The fans fire up as Bill CLOBBERS Nick again and again! Then he UPPERCUTS Christian!

Cover, Patriarchy wins!

Winners: Christian Cage & Nick Wayne, by pinfall

You can definitely call that a win for The Patriarchy, because it took Mother Shayna and Superbad Stepbrother Kip to tip the scales! But then will the family that cheats together win together, all the way to the tag titles?

Josh Alexander speaks.

“Tonight’s the night, Adam. Tonight’s the night where I get to free you of the burden of being a fighting champion. And a fighting champion you have been, for far too long. But nonetheless, still our TNT Champion, for now. See, Paragon and the Don Callis Family, we’re no strangers to each other. Me and you, Adam, we’re no strangers to each other. You issue an Open Challenge, and the Walking Weapon is here to answer. And the only thing that is undisputed about this is that I know you have a bad ankle, you’re not walking out with the TNT Championship, and when I’m done, you’re not walking out of here at all.”

Alexander has issued his warning, but will he bring down the Panama City Playboy? Or will TNT still be all about the BOOM?

The Patriarchy regroups backstage.

Christian says he could not be more proud of Nick. Christian said that if you listen to your father, good things will happen. But then Montel Vontavious Porter is there to applaud. “Bravo, bravo. What an impressive debut. I’m impressed. And I also heard what you said last week about becoming the first father-and-son tag team champions in AEW. Lofty aspirations, I must say. But coming from you, Christian Cage, one of the greatest tag team champions in history, it gives that statement a lot of gravitas. However… I mean, as great as you are, your partner’s your kid. And as talented as you are–congratulations, champ–you’re still just a kid.

“And, uh, I got a lot of respect for ya. Don’t do this to yourself. You and Nick against the Hurt Syndicate… Don’t do it.” Christian tells MVP, “Are you trying to convince yourself? Or are you trying to convince me? Because you see, MVP, I’ve always lived by the rule, ‘Never trust a criminal.’ And you weren’t even a good criminal at that, because you got caught. Now here’s the more disturbing part about it: You were actually a better criminal than you are a manager. I am The Patriarch, I run AEW. And if I want those AEW Tag Team Championships, they’re as good as ours. Do I make myself clear?”

MVP smirks and says, “Crystal, Christian. But uh…” MVP puts his hand on Christian’s arm, Nick & Kip step up, so MVP backs up. MVP says he just wants to say good luck. You’ll need it. MVP leaves, Christian smirks now. Will Christian regret stepping to the Standard of Excellence & All Mighty?

Rocky Romero & Hechicero VS Brody King & Templario!

We saw these men battle in Arena Mexico as part of that massive FOURTEEN Man Tag Match, but now we keep it a bit more compact. Well, as compact as it can be when it is Azucar & The Alchemist against The King of Death & Lion Warrior! Will the Don Callis Family start off their night strong? Or will King & Templario look to humble the family?

The fans bark while the teams sort out, but Templario starts against Hechicero. The fans rally as the CMLL stars circle. Hechi uses his alchemy to dazzle, but Temp knows it well!

Temp drags Hechi up, fireman’s carries, and then GUT- NO, Hechi blocks the knee! Hechi CHOPS Temp, spins and shoves him, then runs past him to HEADSCISSOR LEG DROP! Hechi holds Temp down, then he CLAWs at the mask! The ref reprimands but Hechi throws down punches! The ref counts because Hechi is using closed fists! Hechi stops at 4, tags in Rocky, and Rocky drags Temp up. Rocky snapmares, runs, and basement DROPKICKS! Rocky grins and slides for his soccer goal celebration. Rocky whips Temp to a corner, runs up and UPPERCUTS! Tag back to Hechi and they mug Temp.

Hechi LARIATS, LARIATS, then pump handles Temp for a modified Cobra Twist, and he uses it to PUMP HANDLE SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Temp survives but Hechi argues the count. The ref defends his count, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns to single picture and Temp hits a GOURD BUSTER on Hechi! The fans fire up while both men are down! Temp crawls, hot tag to King! Brody LARIATS Hechi, LARIATS Rocky, then CHOPS Hechi! Then he CHOPS Rocky! And CHOPS Hechi! Brody whips Hechi to a corner, CHOPS Rocky, then whips Rocky into Hechi! Brody runs up and DOUBLE SPLASHES!

Temp still fights, and he manages the ROPEBREAK!! Hechi lets go in frustration and he argues with the ref about all that flailing! Temp stands, Hechi runs up, but into a WHEELBARROW GERMAN!

A big win again for Brody & Templario, and that certainly sours things for the Don Callis Family. Will things only get worse for The Jackal and his pack as the night goes on?

Mercedes Mone watches Hold That Butler.

And she RIPS up the film! The CEO laughs as she sits down with her six title belts, and she tells Toni Storm, “I enjoy playing this game because it is so easy to win. Toni, you parade around AEW with your chin up, tits out, and your cheap little slippers and your stupid silly little accent. But I can see right through you. You’re just an act. You’re a mark. Just like all of these fans! But me? Well, I am a true star, darling. I am Six Belts Mone, a global champion, and soon to be Seven Belts Mone. And Toni, you’re right about one thing. You’re not just some mother effer, you’re THE mother effer that’s gonna get so effed over at All In: Texas!

“Because Toni, this is MY movie! This is MY story! This is about MY legacy and what I came to AEW to do. So if it’s a death sentence you want, then this is gonna be a beautiful murder that you wrote.” Mone kicks up her feet, and she has pictures of Toni under her boots. Mone says last night on Dynamite, she walked her like the dog that she is. And now, Mone will be walking all over Toni’s face going into All In. And as for Mina, since Mone knows you’re watching, their TBS Championship match on Dynamite 300, that will be match 1000 for Mone!

And Toni, darling, you better watch ringside. And Mone will even provide a nice steak dinner, to see if Toni can stomach the preview of what’s coming for her at All In: Texas. Because while Mina & Toni play checkers, Mone plays chess. Mone laughs her villainous laugh, but will she lose just like every villain does? Or will this be anything but a happy ending?

Backstage interview with Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa.

The AEW Women’s World Champion paces while Lexy Nair brings up the brutal attack by Mone just last night. And it is official for Dynamite 300, Mone VS Mina. Toni tells Mone that if these are the games Mone wants to play, just know that Toni was born on a roulette table. She’ll play snookum with Mone’s snatch! She’ll play tic-tac-toe on Mone’s tits! And when Toni is there to watch the love of her life play cornhole with Mone’s- Mina stops Toni there. Mina knows Toni is angry and is worried about All In. But next week, Mina will face Mone for the TBS Championship. And no matter what happens, Toni cannot get involved.

Toni wants Mina to understand, but Mina hushes her. Mina says no matter what, Toni has to promise. Toni says fine, but Mina has to leave Mone alive, so that Toni can finish the job! The Timeless One wants to bring The CEO’s time to an end, but will the Fighting Gravure Idol make sure to slow down that Money Train first?

Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford VS Vertvixen!

The Megasus & Superbad Girl may have lost tag matches, but Megan is still undefeated and unstoppable in singles action. Will we all #BowDown to Bayne? Or can the Gamer make it through this boss fight?

The bell rings and the two run up! Megan SHOTGUN BOOTS! Megan RAMS Vert into the corner again and again, the ref counts, and Megan stops at 4. The fans boo but Megan DOUBLE CHOPS Vert! Megan whips Vert corner to corner, runs in, and she SPLASHES Vert! Megan then hits a BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Megan smiles, Ford cheers, but the fans boo. Megan storms up on Vert, kicks her around, then looms over her. Megan drags Vert up, but Vert fires body shots! Seattle cheers on Vert as she fires more shots! Megan smirks, but then Vert ROUNDHOUSES! Megan felt that one, but she stays on her feet!

Megan snarls, and she DECKS Vert! Vert flounders, Megan roars, and Ford says Vert should just give up. Megan runs in and LEAPING LARIATS! Megan fires herself up, then she drags Vert up for the fireman’s carry! “BOW! DOWN!!” FATE’S DESCENT! Cover, Megan wins!

Winner: Megan Bayne, by pinfall

The female titan continues to dominate, and it is only a matter of time. When and where will Megan reach the mountaintop?

Anthony Bowens speaks.

“Hello, Seattle, and hello, everybody watching at home. I am the Pride of Professional Wrestling, Anthony Bowens, here to tell you that live next week on Dynamite 300, I am officially entering the Casino Gauntlet qualifying match. Now, two weeks ago, things didn’t really go my way, and I told Billy that we needed to get our stuff together quick. So I told him to stay home to rethink that strategy, and next week, you’re gonna see that strategy come into play. Cuz when I win this match, I get to enter that gauntlet at Number 2. And you cannot have the biggest PPV, the biggest show of the year, All In, without your Pride.

“Don’t believe me? Well, I’ve got five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong!” Will Bowens win his way right to the top of the line-up? Or will this new strategy fail to hit a homerun?

AEW TNT Championship: Adam Cole VS Josh Alexander w/ Trent Beretta!

The Open Challenge was made last night, and it was answered rather quickly. The Panama City Playboy wants to cross a name off the list, but will it really be that easy? Or will the Walking Weapon make Don Callis proud with this title match?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if this title is still undisputed!

The bell rings and the fans duel. Cole and Alexander circle, tie up, and Alexander puts Cole on the ropes. Alexander wants a leg, the ref counts, so Alexander lets go. Alexander grins while Cole shakes out his leg. The two reset, tie up again, and Alexander slips around to waistlock, half nelson, then he spins and wrenches Cole to a hammerlock. Cole reaches around, switches the hammerlock, but Alexander snapmares and headlocks. Cole slips out to hammerlock, but Alexander rolls, headscissors, and he holds tight! Cole tries but can’t get free, and Alexander pushes up for added pressure. Cole rolls, pops free, then floats to a headlock.

Alexander rolls and he turns things around for a facelock. Cole fights up, they go to a corner, and the ref counts. Alexander lets go, but then CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” while Cole is stinging. Alexander ROCKS Cole, bumps him off buckles, then fires hands and CHOPS! Cole fires forearms on Alexander, Alexander headlocks back. Alexander hits the takeover, Cole keeps his shoulders up, and the fans applaud. Cole fights to his feet, powers out the back and headlocks in return. Alexander powers up and out, the two RAM shoulders, and then Alexander trips Cole! Alexander runs, Cole stays low then hurdles, but Alexander catches him to a fireman’s carry!

Cole slips free, shoves Alexander, then ducks a lariat to NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up and Cole covers, TWO! The fans rally, Cole and Alexander stand, and Cole puts Alexander in a corner. Cole fires forearms, he wrenches and whips, but Alexander reverses. Alexander runs up, but falls for 52 Fake Out! Cole goes up and leaps, but into a FOREARM! The fans are torn while Cole bails out, but Alexander then BODY CHECKS Cole off the apron! Alexander grins and Cole is down while Collision goes picture in picture.

Alexander drags Cole up, ROCKS him with a right, then stalks Cole around the way. Alexander pushes Cole into the ring, ELBOWS him in the head, then paces around. Alexander soaks up the cheers and jeers while Cole goes to ropes. Alexander KNEES Cole in the back, CHOPS him in the corner, then whips corner to corner hard!

Alexander soaks up the cheers and jeers while Collision returns to single picture. The fans duel as Alexander whips. Cole stops himself and SUPERKICKS Alexander! The fans fire up while both men are down.

Cole huffs ‘n’ puffs and rises up while Trent coaches Alexander. Cole rallies with LARIAT and ELBOW and BOOT! The fans fire up and Cole waits on Alexander.

The fans rally and Cole brings Alexander up. Alexander fights the suplex, throws body shots, and then he suplexes, only for Cole to knee free! Cole BOOTS the lariat away, then hits a BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Trent applauds but Cole grows frustrated.

Cole paces, goes to the corner, and the fans rally up. Cole climbs, takes aim, and PANAMA- NO, Alexander FLAPJACKS out of the driver! Then he has the ANKLE LOCK! But Cole rolls to send Alexander into buckles! Alexander still fireman’s carries, and ROLLING SENTONS! Then he goes up to FLYING KNEE! Cover, TWO! Cole stays in this and Alexander grows frustrated.

Cole SUPERKICKS, then BLINDSIDE SUPERKICKS! Then THE BOOM!! Cover, COLE WINS!

Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)

The Walking Weapon pushed Cole to his limits, but Cole was able to survive! Another loss for the Don Callis Family tonight, will it be all up to Kyle Fletcher to turn things around?

AEW Media catches up with Ricochet.

The reporter catches The One & Only on his way out and brings up last night, how Ricochet told AR Fox he had everything going for him, only to ditch Fox in the match. Fox finds Ricochet and says Ricochet needs to wait up. What was that out there, man? Ricochet asks what Fox means by that, and Fox says Ricochet left him high and dry. But then THE GATES OF AGONY attack Fox?! Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona beat Fox down, and even throw him against the fence! Then they OPEN THE GATES!! Kaun & Liona look at Ricochet, and Ricochet says, “Let’s talk.” Has the King of Flight just found his followers?

Alex Windsor speaks.

“When you talk about the best women’s wrestler in the UK, the only name that should spring to mind is Alex Windsor. And when I said that I could hang with the best, when I said I belong where the best wrestle, I didn’t just come to talk about it. I am here to prove it. I am here to break backs, to win championship gold, and I will stop at nothing until everyone knows the name, Alex Windsor.” Will #IronWillWindsor be unbreakable as she joins this All Elite Women’s Division?

Queen Aminata VS Skye Blue w/ Julia Hart!

Between the ROH Women’s Pure Championship Tournament and the Women’s Casino Gauntlet, all of which happens All In Weekend in Texas, the entire AEW/ROH Women’s Division wants to prove they’re worthy of opportunities. Will the One True African Queen be razor sharp for her test against Serena Deeb? Or will the Chicago Skye shine in the spotlight?

The bell rings and the fans cheer on “QUEEN! QUEEN! QUEEN!” Aminata and Skye circle, tie up, and Aminata waistlocks. Aminata lifts, Skye fights it and drops down to victory roll, TWO! Aminata stands, runs up, but Skye bypasses her. Things keep moving, Julia trips Aminata up, and the ref reprimands. The fans are torn but Skye SUPERKICKS Aminata! Aminata wobbles, Skye SHINING WIZARDS at the ropes! Snapmare and cover, TWO! Aminata is tougher than that, but Skye rains down fists! The ref counts, Skye lets off, and she brings Aminata up.

Skye reels Aminata in, snap suplexes, and she pushes Aminata down for a cover. TWO, and Skye is annoyed. Skye drags Aminata up to bump her off buckles, and she digs her boot into Aminata’s neck! The ref counts, Skye steps off, and Collision goes to break.

Winner: Queen Aminata, by pinfall

Despite preparing for the Women’s Pure Championship, Aminata brings speed and power to this victory. Julia gets in Aminata’s face and the fans cheer this stare down. Aminata dares Julia to try something, but wait! THEKLA is here! The Toxic Spider is Aminata’s newest rival, and surely she wants to settle a score. Aminata smiles as she tells them both to do something. Skye gets in the ring again to SUCKER PUNCH Aminata! Thekla and Skye attack together, then Julia joins in! The fans boo, btu here comes TAYJAY!

Wait, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford make their way out here now? That brings things up to eight starts in the AEW Women’s Division. Will it be one of these eight that wins the Casino Gauntlet?

Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Matt Menard.

Lexy Nair is with the Red Death & Daddy Magic, and says that after months of rivalry with Adam Cole for the TNT Championship, Garcia has recently teamed up with Cole over their mutual problems with the Don Callis Family. But then in steps Rocky, and he says “problems” is a harsh word to use. Danny Garcia may have problems with the Callis Family, and that’s one thing, but the family’s never had issues with Garcia. And all Rocky is saying is… A couple weeks ago, Callis gave Garcia the golden opportunity of joining the family. They don’t need an answer right now, but they want Garcia to think about some things.

First, Garcia is palling around with Adam Cole, and well, if the shoe was on the other foot, if Garcia was still TNT Champion, do you think Cole would be friends with Garcia? And Rocky already knows what Garcia’s gonna say: When Garcia was TNT Champion, Cole showed him respect. But don’t you think that was just a way to get close to Garcia and the TNT title? Look, all Rocky is saying is, Garcia doesn’t seem to know what real friends look like. Menard takes offense to that but Rocky has him calm down. But when Garcia wants real friends- No, scratch that. When Garcia wants a real family, he knows where to find them.

Rocky leaves, but will Garcia & Daddy Magic accept his premise? Or will the Don Callis Family fail to manipulate the Dragonslayer?

Kyle Fletcher VS Kyle O’Reilly!

It has been a rough night for the Don Callis Family, from losing the tag match to losing out on the TNT Championship. But the night closes with a Collision of Kyles! Will the Protostar prove he is worthy of that nickname when he takes down a former ROH World Champion? Or will the Violent Artist break the Aussie Arrow in half?

The bell rings and the fans rally for “KYLE! KYLE!” Then they duel, “Let’s Go, Kyle!” “KYLE SUCKS!” Fletcher claims that is for him as he circles with O’Reilly. They feel things out, tie up, and O’Reilly waistlocks but Fletcher wrenches the arm. Fletcher wristlocks, O’Reilly spins and drop toeholds. O’Reilly floats to a facelock, Fletcher wrenches out and facelocks back. O’Reilly slips out to have a waistlock, then he floats to the headlock. Fletcher powers up and puts O’Reilly in the corner. The ref counts, Fletcher rolls away, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and the fans chant, “This is Kyle!” as the two have a Test of Strength.

Will Fletcher look to go All In with Adam Cole for that title?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision on a Thursday, and if not for real sports being on TNT, Collision would be better served staying on Thursday. Saturdays are obviously days for PPVs, as we’re seeing with All In: Texas and everything WWE wants to do on that same weekend. That aside, this was still a prerecorded show from last night so that they didn’t actually have to spend another night in Seattle. With that, the Ricochet promo felt like it should’ve been aired last night or given the caveat that it happened last night, as I think the “reporter” said “earlier tonight” rather than “last night.” The Gates of Agony joining up Ricochet is fine, Kaun & Liona needed something to do. At the same time, it seems a bit of a waste for them to become Ricochet’s henchmen when they gave up being Swerve’s henchmen months ago.

Very good opening promo from Stoke & FTR with The Outrunners, and I like how purposefully cheesy that video package was. FTR VS Outrunners will be great stuff, but I would think FTR wins. Especially as I expect FTR to cheat with Stokely’s help. There was some redundancy with Mercedes Mone tonight, where she had a video package but also her in-person promo. Toni and Mina had a good response, and Mone VS Mina will be great stuff. I still expect Mone to win so that she’ll bring the TBS Championship to All In, though she probably could’ve/should’ve lost it before this point.

Megan of course won her match, but nice to see Vertvixen again. Great match from Aminata VS Skye, and a great win for Aminata. Thekla showing up and seemingly joining Julia & Skye, then TayJay showing up to counter, that’s a strong Six Woman Tag right there. And then Megan & Ford showing up again, good foreshadowing of who is in the Women’s Casino Gauntlet alongside Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale. Good promo from Bowens to help hype up the next Men’s Casino Gauntlet qualifier, but I feel like MJF is going to take that #2 spot so he and Briscoe can start the match and have it out after that “Kosher pickle” promo last night.

Very good tag match from Christian & Nick VS Bill & Keith, but of course Patriarchy wins with the numbers game. Very good promo from Patriarchy with MVP, and while there are rumors of “Intergenerational” tag titles, aka the Father & Son titles that Christian would no doubt have made, that doesn’t necessarily mean Christian & Nick win the AEW World Tag titles and rename them. Christian could just make those belts in a very Ted DeBiase Million Dollar Championship move to puff up his ego. But I do appreciate a tease of a Heel Faction VS Heel Faction, as Hurt Syndicate is definitely still Heel.

And great stuff through the night with The Don Callis Family. Great tag match from Brody & Templario VS Rocky & Hechicero, with a great win for Brody & Temp. Cole VS Alexander not being the main event was a little confusing, but I suppose with Cole naturally retaining the title, there was no real need to make it a main event. Plus, the Battle of Kyles was not only a great match but the fans had a lot of fun with their Kyle oriented chants. Great win for Fletcher, even with Archer being a factor. And after that promo with Rocky and Garcia, there’s some new intrigue on what comes next. There is likely another 8 Man Tag, Garcia & Paragon against any four Don Callis Family members they want, and there can be a tease of Garcia joining, even if it is just to mess with Paragon and cost them the match.

My Score: 8.9/10
