The fans boo again as the Mad Man literally stands on top of Darby. Gabe & Connors leave Darby behind, ringside medics get Darby out from under the steps, but when and where will this end between Mad Man and Relentless One?

JetSpeed speaks.

“Speedball” Mike Bailey tells the Don Callis Family that they know they’re looking for gold. But JetSpeed are the NEW AEW World Trios Champions, and they are not hard to find. You know they’re shining backstage, and you know you want the world title, too. But so is Hangman Page. And if you haven’t heard, Hangman no longer rides alone. So if you’re looking for a fight, they’ll be right by his side! Because they are strong, they are hard, they are HORSE- NO…! They’re #JetSetRodeo. Well, the fans aren’t fooled on the name, but when and where will JSR battle DCF in AEW?

Winners: Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz, by pinfall

That was that Hot Fire Flame, and CRU got burned! But who else will look to light it up with The Rascalz as they look to take over AEW?

Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor talk.

Jamie says she noticed something last week. They ain’t so different, are they? They know what they want, they know what they’re worth, and they know what they don’t like. They don’t like the people too afraid to get in there and afraid to get hit! Too afraid to fight! That ain’t them, mate. Windsor’s had chance after chance, tag partner after tag partner, and she came so bloody close. But she never quite got there. That’s gonna change. And it looks like to Jamie that change is what Windsor’s looking for. Windsor says, “Well alright, let’s have a bit o’ fun, shall we?” Jamie agrees there. The two head out, but just how hard will these two hit the AEW Women’s Tag Division?

Jon Moxley speaks.

“There are few people in professional wrestling these days I can relate to. Takeshita is one of them. He doesn’t want things to be easy. Doesn’t wanna be Continental Champion because it’s easy. Spent the last few years chasing the best competition all around the world because it’s hard chasing that feeling. That feeling in the ring, being in a fight for your life, when you’re all alone with your guts and your skill. We understand each other. At least, I thought so. I think so, right? Cuz those goons that jumped me on Dynamite, you had nothing to do with that, right? I mean, the big one, the Australian, he got blasted in the face with a belt, so we’re even, we can leave it at that.

“And you all don’t want a full on gang war, do ya? Cuz that’s the kind of thing we do for fun. Now, I know what motivates guys like Don Callis, and I know what motivates you, Takeshita. Lemme tell ya what motivates me: You beating me in the Continental Classic, and I want that one back. And I want it back real bad. You wanna be the absolute best? You wanna be the Continental Champion? You know you’re gonna have to do it alone, and you know exactly what it’s gonna take. I think we understand each other.” The Maniac has put the ball in The Alpha’s court, how will Takeshita choose to play it?

Mixed Tag Match: Toni Storm & Orange Cassidy VS Gino Medina & Lady Bird Monroe!

What started as a simple encounter in the Mixed Nuts Tag has become quite the friendship, and the former Women’s World Champion has told the likes of Marina Shafir hands off the merchandise. Will this Collision not only be Freshly Squeezed but TIMELESS? Or will they be too worried about The Problem to focus on what’s right in front of them?

The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Gino. The bell rings, the fans rally, and Cassidy dodges Gino to RUN him over! Gino rolls right through, shoves Cassidy, but Cassidy rolls through to put his hands up, and in his pockets! Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges ot SHOTGUN Gino! Gino bails out, Cassidy kips up, and the fans cheer. Monroe takes offense, gets in and talks a lot of trash on Cassidy. She shoves and pie faces Cassidy around, so he “unleashes” kicks! The fans go nuts with every shot, then Cassidy winds up, to let Toni handle this. SHOTGUN! Then Cassidy DIVES onto Gino! Toni gives Monroe a SWEET HIP MUSIC!

Toni then reels Gino in for a TORNADO DDT! Cassidy tops it off with a tilt-o-whirl DDT! Gino ends up in the corner, and Toni hikes up the shorts! SWEET HIP MUSIC! Then a feed to the ORANGE PUNCH! Cover, Toni & Cassidy win!

Winners: Toni Storm & Orange Cassidy, by pinfall

Toni nods and gives a lazy thumbs up, but then YUTA attacks Cassidy! The fans boo, but Toni tells him, “How DARE you!” Toni SLAPS Yuta, but MARINA is here to KICK Toni in the leg! And then Marina fires off knees! The fans boo but Marina TOSSES Toni out! Marina scares the ref off before she goes after Toni! Marina whips Toni into railing! But Cassidy HAMMERs away on Yuta! Marina hurries in and BOOTS Cassidy down! The Death Riders mug Cassidy, soak up heat from the fans, then Marina sits Cassidy up with a full nelson! Yuta has the mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, I would now like to present a special interview with Orange Cassidy.”

Yuta says Cassidy sure spread a lot of lies about Yuta on Dynamite. But now that the Death Riders have thoroughly kicked Cassidy ass, much to the chagrin of these people, how does Cassidy feel? Cassidy asks if Yuta’s talking to him. He can’t hear through all that garbage hair! Now Yuta says, “How DARE you!” And it’s back to mugging Cassidy! The fans boo, and Yuta tells Cassidy has the garbage hair! If he’s so proud of how he looks… Yuta snatches something from the medic? SCISSORS?! Marina SMOTHERS Cassidy, then Yuta brings the scissors over! They sit Cassidy up, but Toni gets in the ring! GERMAN SUPLEX on Marina! Cassidy grabs Yuta’s leg, and Toni has the scissors!

Yuta runs for the hills as Toni brandishes the scissors as a weapon! The fans cheer as Toni saves Cassidy, and she says you slop tarts have scissored the wrong sisters! In two weeks, Grand Slam: Australia, a Mixed Tag HAIR VS HAIR MATCH!! WHAT!? Toni says if you get pinned, you get SHAVED! So from her mouth to God’s ears, one of you little bastards is gonna be bald! The fans like the sound of that! Will Toni and #CitrusBoy soon give a Death Rider a vicious makeover?

Backstage interview with Eddie Kingston, Ortiz, and the Grizzled Young Veterans.

Lexy Nair thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Clause. She can already tell tensions are high. The Mad King says yeah, we know. But c’mon, let’s move on! GYV beat him up, he and Ortiz beat them up, move on! There’s no point to this. Zack Gibson says of course Eddie doesn’t understand! Why would he ever understand? Because he has never and could never walk a mile in their shoes! Eddie tells them to never ever talk about his life. He can’t walk a mile in anyone else’s shoes? Y’all don’t know him! Y’all don’t know Ortiz. They don’t know what they’ve gone through. Yeah, GYV’s been through stuff, much respect.

But y’know what? Eddie won’t step over his words. How about this? PARKING LOT BRAWL! But then Bill & Keith attack! They BOOT Ortiz and THROW Eddie into the garage door! Gibson says guess what? It turns out it isn’t hard to find people who don’t like Eddie! James Drake then simply hands over the money, as they agreed. But see you boys in that parking lot brawl next week! Then they’ll put this to bed! GYV used mercenaries to strike back, but will they end Eddie & Ortiz once and for all? Or will Eddie & Ortiz show GYV why they should’ve just let things go?

AEW TNT Championship: Mark Briscoe VS Tommaso Ciampa!

The Sussex County Chicken thwarted the Don Callis Family again when he over came EL CLØN, but then the Open Challenge was issued and immediately accepted! Will the Psycho Killer show that #NoOneWillSurvive?

Winner: Tommaso Ciampa, by pinfall (NEW AEW TNT Champion)

From #AllElite to the Face of TNT, all in under a week! Ciampa holds up the title and the fans cheer this moment! “You Deserve It!” Briscoe shoes Ciampa respect and they hug it out. And then Kyle Fletcher walks out here. The Protostar applauds, though maybe a bit sarcastically. Kyle also motions that the belt is still his. Ciampa dares Kyle to bring it! Will Kyle prove he’s still the best TNT Champion then, now, and forever? Or will not even he survive a showdown with the Psycho Killer?

Josh Alexander speaks.

With the rest of The Don Callis Family again beating up local prospects, The Walking Weapon says, “Jon Moxley! I couldn’t help but hear what you had to say earlier tonight, trying to convince Konosuke Takeshita he’s too good for the Don Callis Family. Nobody’s better than the best! So mind your damn business! Takeshita owes everything to Don Callis, just like Kyle Fletcher, who has made it very clear he has his sights set once again on the TNT Championship. And speaking of championships, Andrade’s made it clear he wants that world title. And Wednesday night, when he defeats Kenny Omega, he is one step closer to that goal!

“And Hangman, don’t think you get a free pass to Australia! Don Callis said he had a surprise in store for you. Well, it’s a big, pissed off surprise in Mark Davis!” Rocky KNEES down one guy and Alexander says that was cool. Yeah, you like that? Rocky just invented it, he calls it the “Azucar Trigger.” Anyway, Rocky’s gotta go, he has a ringside seat to watch Okada beat up Adam Priest. Rocky heads out, and then Archer CLOBBERS three guys at once! The Murderhawk Monster is having a little too much fun. #EverybodyDies, but will it be even more than usual with the Don Callis Family on a rampage?

AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada VS Adam Priest!

The Rainmaker being a champion, he needs challengers. And it was Rocky Romero who ended up finding someone ready, willing, and able to step to the icon. Rocky also has the belt in a nice carrying bag, but tells Okada to wait until after he deals with Priest. Did Rocky arrange a little something special just for Okada? Or will Priest end up taking that belt for his own?

The introductions are made, but Okada keeps the belt in the bag. And then he just sucker punches Priest! The fans are torn but the bell rings and Okada stomps away. Okada CLUBS Priest, but Priest CHOPS! Okada snarls as he turns Priest around for a NECKBREAKER! Okada taunts Priest, Priest fires forearms, and a CHOP! But Okada kicks low! Okada scoops and SLAMS Priest, then grins. Okada brings Priest up to scoop and SLAM again! The fans are torn, but Okada says one more! But Priest wrenches, and he goes for the double wristlock! Okada fights to scoop Priest, but Priest arm-drags Okada down! GROUND DRAGON SCREW!

The fans are torn while Okada snarls, but Priest stomps him down! Priest goes for the leg, Okada CLUBS Priest, but they still end up in the corner. Priest wraps the leg around ropes, holds until 4, then CHOPS Okada! The fans “WOO~” and Okada staggers away. Priest storms up to UPPERCUT Okada, then he stalks Okada to another corner. Priest whips corner to corner, runs in, but Okada dodges. Okada hoists Priest up top, and DROPKICKS him down! Priest tumbles to apron then floor, but Okada claims his leg hurts! Okada clutches the knee, Rocky sneaks to ringside to CLOBBER Priest! The fans boo as Rocky has to get his two cents in!

Seeing Rocky did his part, Okada says he’s okay now, and Collision goes picture in picture.

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, but maybe a mixed bag on their booking decisions. An awesome decision was Ciampa winning the TNT Championship. That was an awesome match, and Ciampa winning is a great sign that AEW understands the star they’ve got. It might even show they aren’t against moving the belt around to spice up stories, because now we can get some Fletcher VS Ciampa, which will indeed be an awesome match, too. Another good promo from Josh Alexander as the Don Callis Family beats up randos, and clearly we’re getting Hangman VS Davis before we get to Grand Slam: Australia. That’ll be good stuff, Davis makes a good body type substitute for Samoa Joe, who Hangman was surely meant to face before Joe’s training injury.

JetSpeed calling out DCF is also an interesting move. I would think we get a trios match, titles or not, where Hangman & JetSpeed take on like Alexander, Archer, and Hechicero for a solid first defense of the trios titles. We’re still getting a lot more of DCF and Death Riders given Moxley’s promo. Very good promo, but I can’t be sure if they have Moxley VS Takeshita at Grand Slam: Australia or they save it for Revolution. Toni & Cassidy of course won their mixed tag here, but good stuff fighting off Yuta & Marina. They literally set up their Hair VS Hair Tag for Australia, and if it isn’t obvious, Yuta having all that hair to shave means he’s losing it for Death Riders.

Great match from Rascalz VS CRU, the kind that makes you really grateful for DVR so you can keep up. Great win for Rascalz, but Rascalz joining Eddie & Ortiz against GYV, Big Bill & Bryan Keith is a bit surprise. Though, it is a nice nod to their shared time in TNA. An 8 Man Tag Parking Lot Brawl is going to be wild, and I would think the Faces win. Great match from Okada VS Priest, especially with Priest getting to look as good as he did. Okada of course gets the win, I wonder if he’ll give more up-and-comers opportunities like this while still slow-burn building things with Takeshita. It’d be wild if Takeshita got the Continental Championship so that he and Okada can recreate the Unified Championship.

And great tag title main event, but I figured the Babes of Wrath would win. And while Megan & Penelope were obviously the next step, are we really having them and Triangle of Madness working together again? They should be rivals, with Bayne & Ford being a Two Woman Power Trip that stands in the way of the Triangle of Madness and vice-versa. Instead, it’s like Ford is admitting she can’t take one of the singles titles so she’s letting Megan handle Willow and Thekla get one more match with Kris.

My Score: 8.9/10
