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.”

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite 300.

A reporter caught up with the Death Riders, wanting a word, but Moxley just pushed past the cameras. The reporter still asked, so Claudio decided to talk. “Opps. I’m not gonna yell, I’m not gonna scream, but I’m sick of you sticking your nose into our business. You wanna be heroes? I give you the opportunity to prove that you are heroes.” Claudio vents in German, but he translates that the Trios Championships are his!

Winners: Mark Briscoe, Hologram y Mistico, by submission

The fans sing along with Me Muero for the winners! Will this momentum help Briscoe, Hologram and Mistico have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet? 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?

Best Wrester Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???

Once again, Platinum Max thinks this is a good idea. And he tells Ontario, California, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans are a bit torn, but Caster says he knows that your lives here in the “empire” are very, very boring and very horrible. However, you people are about to have the best moment of your lives when you get to chant his name! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max!

So let’s put five minutes on the clock! DUN DUN, we have our five minutes. Let’s see who can survive five with the Best Wrestler Alive! The lights go out, and SCORPIO SKY is on the tron! The Closer says he has been working for this. SoCal is where he started, it is where he fell, and it is where he is getting back up. Christopher Daniels adds that this isn’t just a fight camp, this is the #SkyFlight team. SoCal built him, SoCal fuels him.

Sky was tag team champion, he was TNT Champion, and now he shares that knowledge with his new team. Darius & Dante martin train with Sky. The grind never left. The crowd and the chaos, Sky has been wanting to get it back. He remembers those chants, “S C U! S C U!” And now, he’s back!

The fans fire up with Sky and they chant “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” Sky turns around, dodges Caster, then hits an atomic drop! Emphasis on the drop! Then the fireman’s carry for the T K O!! Cover, Sky wins!

Winner: Scorpio Sky, by pinfall

Four minutes and five seconds to spare! Sky & Daniels secret handshake, is this only the beginning of Scorpio rising?

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?

Willow Nightingale VS Vipress!

The Babe with the Power is ready for a Collision, but she also wants to build momentum this close to the Women’s Casino Gauntlet at All In. Will Willow fight her way to a top spot? Or will she feel snakebit after facing the Vipress?

The bell rings and the fans rally. Willow offers a handshake but Vipress slaps it away! The fans boo but Willow says okay, whatever. The two tie up, Willow waistlocks and SLAMS Vipress down!

Willow brings Vipress up, whips her to ropes, then hits a SPINEBUSTER! Willow rolls Vipress, gut wrenches, but Vipress fights free! Willow says alright, and she storms up, but Vipress YANKS her into buckles! Vipress soaks up heat, but we see Kris Statlander watching!

Kris isn’t quite as amused as the fans, but then Wheeler Yuta taps her on the shoulder. Kris tells him she doesn’t need the Death Riders, then she storms off. Vipress pie faces Willow, talks trash, but Willow CHOPS her down! Vipress staggers, Willow eggs her on, and Vipress puts her hair up! The fans fire up for this, and Vipress SLAPS Willow! Vipress runs, but Willow POUNCES! PERIOD! The fans fire up and Willow brings down the straps! Willow hauls Vipress up, gut wrench, BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

Willow puts that one away quick, but will it be so easy to do that in the Casino Gauntlet? Or will the former NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, former AEW TBS Champion, former CMLL Women’s World Champion, and former Women’s Owen Hart Cup winner soon add a Women’s Casino Gauntlet to her list of achievements?

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?

FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway VS The Outrunners!

Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood could not understand why Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd chose pretty much everyone else over them, but that’s because they’re not seeing things the right way. Can the Youngest Men Alive give FTR a Total Recall and make them understand? Or will they fail to take the Top Guys out?

The teams sort out, Turbo and Dax start and the fans rally up. Turbo and Dax tie up, they go around, and Dax puts Turbo in a corner. The ref counts, Dax lets off slowly, and he talks trash on Turbo.

Turbo endures, and fans taunt Dax with “YOU’RE STILL BALD!”

Cash reaches out, FTR links up to add pressure to the hold! The fans boo but the ref misses it! Truth complains, but Cash “tags in.” Cash puts on the COBRA TWIST, but the ref says he didn’t see a tag! Cash CLUBS Turbo, Dax steps back in, and Cash argues with the ref about the “tag.” Turbo snatches Dax into a cradle! But the ref is too busy with Cash! The fans boo, the ref finally sees the cover, TWO! Dax LARIATS Turbo! Dax actually tags Cash now, the fans taunt FTR, but Cash stomps Turbo. Cash drags Turbo around to ELBOW him in the head! Cash drags Turbo up by his hair, reels him in, but Turbo suplexes first!

The fans fire up while both men are down! Dax tags in, he anchors a leg, but Turbo BOOTS him away! Turbo hot tags Truth! The fans fire up as Truth DECKS Dax, DECKS Cash, repeat!

The fans fire up as the Outrunners pump it up! “Turbo Floyd! You sonov-” NO, Cash CLOBBERS Turbo into Truth! The fans boo, FTR has Outrunners on the outside, and Cash THROWS Turbo into barriers while Collision goes picture in picture.

The ref reprimands, Dax taunts the fans, and Cash stomps Turbo again. Cash stands Truth up so Dax can throw hands! The ref reprimands but the mugging continues with stomps! Dax drags Truth up, Truth grabs onto a leg, but Dax CLUBS him down! Dax puts Truth in the ring, stalks him, and then kicks him.

Truth sputters, Dax says this is Truth’s fault, but the fans say “You’re Still Bald!” Dax tells fans off, then he tags Cash. Cash headlocks Truth to grind him down into the mat. Truth fights up, the fans fife up, and he fires body shots! Truth whips, but Cash catches the hurdle into a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Truth stays in this and the fans fire up again!

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.

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!

Athena scrambles away but Rosa chases her! They go backstage, now it’s basically a Six Woman Tag! Megan runs, Anna dodges the lariat, and she SPIKES Megan with a DDT! Anna crawls for her corner, but Ford distracts the ref! Skye YANKS Tay off the apron, RAMS her into the apron, then THROWS her into barriers! The fans boo but Anna turns to face Megan.

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!

The Dynamite before All In sees an All Star 8 Man Tag! The Death Riders once again team up with The Young Bucks to take on Hangman Page, Will Ospreay, Katsuyori Shibata & Will Hobbs! Will Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and the EVPs abuse their power and have the edge going into All In? Or can Cowboy, Assassin, Wrestler and Powerhouse bring down the house before going to Globe Life Field? But that’s not all as the odd men out, Samoa Joe and Wheeler Yuta, will go 1v1! Will the Opps or the Death Riders have the advantage going into a World Trios Championship match?

Plus, after the big match we just saw, Megan Bayne, Tay Melo, Queen Aminata and Thekla will all be in a Fatal 4 Way! The winner will be the Women’s Casino Gauntlet #2 entrant, who takes their destiny into their own hands?

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.

The fans cheer and Garcia rains down fists! The fans count, but Kyle stops Garcia at 6 to BOOT him down! The fans still cheer that, and Kyle grins while Cole admits Kyle has power and speed. 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! Garcia falls in a heap and Kyle mockingly says check on him. Kyle hangs out with his fans at ringside while the others boo.

Kyle taunts the fans booing him, and we see Garcia is busted open! Kyle rains down fists, then shows off the bloody forehead. APRON BACK SUPLEX! Kyle grins while Garcia has a glazed look in his eyes, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Kyle shoves Garcia into the ring, paces around him, and watches as Garcia sputters and sits up. The crimson mask is growing and Kyle talks trash. Kyle drags Garcia up to scoop and SLAM! Garcia flounders to ropes while Kyle soaks up cheers ‘n’ jeers. Kyle paces, then he storms over to Garcia for a JUMP STOMP! The ref reprimands but Garcia flounders away to the other side. 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! Then deadlift, but Garcia slips free! Garcia waistlocks, they go to ropes, Kyle bucks the O’Conner! SUPERKICK!

Callis fans Kyle off, pats him on the shoulder, but we pass 5 of 10. Garcia is up first and he has Kyle, only for Kyle to get around! HALF ‘N’ HALF to the floor! Kyle grimaces as he drags himself up to his feet. Garcia sputters, twitches, but Kyle drags him up. Callis says get the ambulance. 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

Will Seattle be all about the BOOM?

As AEW continues it’s stay in The Emerald City, there is gold on the line! Will Adam Cole still be the Face of TNT after facing Josh Alexander?

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!

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 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!

Bill TOSSES Christian to the corner, ROCKS him, then storms up on Nick. The fans fire up, Bill runs in and SPLASHES Christian! Nick goes up, leaps, but into a BOOT! Christian aims, runs up, but Bill HURDLES the spear?!? And he BOOTS Christian down!! Nick runs in, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but still runs into a BIG BOSS MAN SLAM!

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?

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?

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.

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.

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?

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite 300!

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.

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
