AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Anthony Bowens!

The Maniac spared the Aerial Assassin just last night, because he still wants to see if Ospreay can bring the fight at Dynasty. But at the same time, Hook wants to see if there’s a killer inside the 5 Tool Player. Will Bowens score a golden ticket on behalf of The Opps? Or will Moxley crush the Pride of Professional Wrestling’s confidence?

Bowens’ killer instinct came out to play, but he wasn’t able to bring Moxley down. But wait, OSPREAY SLIDES IN! HIDDEN BLADE on Moxley!! The fans fire up as Ospreay rains down forearms! Ospreay then goes outside, and he grabs that chair! But then Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, and the rest of the Death Riders rush out there! They drag Moxley to safety before Ospreay can swing on them with that chair! Ospreay says, “Oi, oi, Jon Boy, it’s hard to take it like this isn’t personal. Don’t you go anywhere, you sloppy b*tch, you stay here! Jon, aren’t you forgettin’ something?” Ospreay holds up the Continental Championship.

Ospreay says Moxley shouldn’t take this personally, but every single time Moxley has wrapped this chair around someone’s neck and stomped down on it, he usually gets Claudio to do it. But back in August, it was Moxley who pulled the trigger. As much as Ospreay would love to know the explanation is, Ospreay is done hearing anything come out of Moxley’s mouth. Now Ospreay just wants Moxley’s neck, “ya little c*nt!” So listen up, Jon Boy! They’ve got a date, they will be seeing each other at Dynasty, April 12th. BUT…! Ospreay says let’s make a little change.

Did you know the one thing Ospreay likes about the Continental Championship is that when it is on the line, NO ONE is allowed ringside, and Ospreay gets Moxley for 20 minutes! Ospreay can do a lot of bloody damage in 20 minutes! So Moxley, Ospreay will leave this right here for you, come pick it up. But on Sunday, April 12th, put the title on the line, ya b*tch! The Aerial Assassin has put out the challenge, but Tony Schiavone lets us know that Tony Khan says bet! Maniac or Assassin, who will be golden in Vancouver?

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Kazuchika Okada stands with Andrade El Idolo & Mark Davis, and The Rainmaker says tonight, they have a tag match with The Rascalz. This is Davis’ opportunity to get revenge for Kyle Fletcher! Kyle is Okada’s best friend, he cares about Kyle. Unlike Takeshita… Davis nods, and Okada asks where even is Takeshita? Andrade doesn’t know, but Okada says it doesn’t matter. Davis has an even better partner than Takeshita could ever be, and that is Andrade! Andrade, you are the future world champion! But tonight, you fight for Fletcher. Okada will be watching closely, too. Will the Family avenge their fallen brother? Or will Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz just light it up again?

The Divine Dominion VS Ava Lawless & Kristara!

With the Babes of Wrath behind them, Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are now ready to move on to new challenges. But will Ava & Kristara be up to the task? Or will they be little more than an appetizer tonight?

The teams sort out, Megasus starts against Kristara, and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Megan waistlocks, and she SLAMS Kristara right down! The fans cheer, and Megan runs, but Kristara drops down. Kristara runs up but Megan RUNS her over! The fans cheer, and Megan drags Kristara over to the corner. Megan CHOPS Kristara, taunts Ava, then SPLASHES Kristara in the corner. And then OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY SUPLEXES! Kristara flounders away, Ava tags in, but so does Lean. Lean BOOTS Ava right down! The fans cheer as Megan & Lena each scoop, and they SANDWICH Ava & Kristara! Then DOUBLE FALL AWAY SLAM!

The fans cheer again, and the Aussie Amazon whips Ava to the corner. Lena runs up to ROCK Ava, ELBOW Ava, then tag Megan. BOOT after BOOT, then GERMAN SUPLEX! Megan tags Lena back in, but Kristara goes after them! She fires forearms and CHOPS, but gets nothing but the BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up with Megan, she and Lena hit DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!

Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall

Undefeated as a team, even more so as champions, will anyone ever bring down Megan & Lena?

The Death Riders speak.

Moxley says he is not surprised by Ospreay’s behavior. He is surprised that Ospreay challenged him for this title. Ospreay said himself, it’ll be just him and Moxley. They go down a dark alley, only one of them comes out. The purest form of competition, the ultimate form in pro-wrestling, the highest stakes in the game. Ospreay wouldn’t go through a match like that at less than 100%. Or so Moxley thought. But Ospreay thinks he is 100%, huh? He wants Moxley to believe he’s at 100%. That’s one hell of a bluff. It may not look like it, but Moxley is about keeping to sport pure! Moxley is about letting delusional people be delusional, then they find out whatever they need to in due time.

But with the Continental Championship on the line, expect no mercy. Funny thing about all of this is, Moxley doesn’t even have to beat Ospreay, when Ospreay will just beat himself. The Maniac feels he has the upper hand, but will Ospreay just break that hand and take the title?

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.

Montel Vontavious Porter says, “Attention AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate, do not attempt to adjust your sets, your eyes do not deceive you, we are here. The Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin, is here and accounted for, and The All Mighty, Bobby Lashley, has returned, cleared and ready to rock. We’re in the market for some new talent. I think it’s time we add somebody to the ranks, because we are back in business. And business is about to pick up. And we are gonna do what we do better than anyone.” Lashley says, “Let’s go hurt some people.” Who will join up and raise their own stock with the help of the Hurt Syndicate?

AEW TBS Championship Open Challenge: Willow Nightingale VS ???

The Babe with the Power is ready to move on from the tag titles, and that means defending the title she still has! Willow wants the best the world has to offer, but who has answered the call? HIKARU SHIDA! The fans cheer as the Shining Samurai finally returns to AEW! Willow is also pumped up, but will facing the former THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion be a lot to handle on such short notice?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the Face of TBS, even on TNT!

The bell rings, the fans rally, and Willow offers a handshake. Shida accepts and the fans cheer the respect shown. The two circle, feel things out, and they tie up.

Shida gets up, RAMS Willow again, but Willow RUNS her over again! Shida gets frustrated already but she winds up and runs again. She RAMS Willow, then dodges Willow to RUN Willow over! The fans fire up with Shida while Willow goes to a corner.

Shida storms up on Willow to fire body shots, then climbs up, only for Willow to YANK her right down!

Willow survives powerful strikes but Shida won’t stop there! KATANA MISSES! Willow waistlocks, Shida fights free, and she ROCKS Willow! Willow rebounds, Shida clinches, but then Willow wrenches to backslide! WILLOW WINS!!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

Shida is shocked, but Willow manages to snatch victory away with a technical hold! Shida has her kendo stick, but she thinks better of striking Willow down. Shida cools off, Willow still shows respect, and perhaps these two will meet again. But is Shida about to snap if she doesn’t get back some gold?

FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway VS Mo Jabari & London Lightning!

Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood were either lucky or smart to not be here last night, given Christian Cage & Adam Copeland want to take their heads off. And now that they are here, they have extra security knowing they’re marked men. Will the AEW World Tag Team Champions be able to focus on this tune-up tonight? Or will Cage & Cope still take these #TopGuysOut?

FTR was playing possum just to sucker London in! But wait! Here comes Christian Cage! The fans cheer as Captain Charisma has a chair in hand! But then here comes Adam Copeland!

Backstage interview with & Mina Shirakawa & The Brawling Birds.

Lexy Nair says the “Love Birds” were successful on Dynamite against Triangle of Madness, but it seems there is something on their minds. Alex says when she and Jamie called themselves, “The Brawling Birds,” they meant it! Tags, trios, singles, when they brawl, they bloody brawl! And if this bird wants to spread her wings, Alex has her back. Jamie says this bird is the NJPW Strong Women’s Champion and she couldn’t be more proud. But tell ya what, Jamie has something in mind. She’s been AEW Women’s World Champion before, but it got ripped away from her as we all know, and it’s eluded her ever since.

Now, they’re spending a lot of time in Canada, though, and this is a place where people love to brawl! Having said that, Thekla… For someone so small, you have an awfully big mouth. One she runs like no one can handle her. But Jamie beat Thekla once, and she’ll do it again, at Dynasty! Mina then turns Jamie around and tells her, “Don’t beat her. Beat the PISS out of her!” Jamie says she will. Mina gives her blessing, will Jamie drown the Toxic Spider in Hayterade? Or will things only stay toxic in the AEW Women’s Division?

The Psycho Killer has been crossing off names from that Blackjack 21 Man Battle Royal, from Lio Rush to Ace Austin. But now, he finally gets a fight with the man that eliminated him in that match!

Ciampa storms up the steps before he steps into the ring, then he stomps away on Juice. Ciampa SLAMS Juice’s hand off the mat, then runs to BOOT Juice down!

Private Party speaks.

Isiah Kassidy says, “Whenever Private Party gets brought up, everybody keeps saying one word, and that one word is ‘change.’ Change this, change that, change, change, change. Well, congratulations. You guys finally got it. It’s time for us to change. Mox, you know what you did. We had this dance before. Last time we had this dance, you tried to take my hand out, you forced me to change, and guess what happened? We became tag team champions. Fast-forward to last weekend, I’m forced to change again because you took out my boy! Now he’s out and I dunno when he’s coming back, so now I’m all alone.

“But like you said, swimming with the sharks, right? Yeah, swimming with the sharks! But you forgot something. I’ve been drowning my whole life. I learned how to breathe down here. So listen, I’ma put it like this. I ain’t come this far just to come this far. Best believe I’ma eat, cuz I’m starving for opportunity.” What will Zay do now that it’s all on him?

Darby Allin speaks.

“I have to beat Andrade. This is the best version he’s ever been. Max told me if I can get through Andrade, I will have a title match. And on that ramp, Kenny, you told me you’ll honor that stipulation, as well. And…” In steps Brody King AND Jack Perry. The King of Death tells the Relentless One that they have both taken YEARS of each other’s careers. Darby put Brody in a coffin. Jack Perry says Darby set him on fire. Brody had Darby’s name tattooed on a headstone because he wished death upon him! Again, Jack got set on fire. Brody says he also didn’t forget that Darby was there for Brody & Bandido against The Death Riders.

Jack is a little taken aback, as is Darby, but Darby says look, guys, they all hate the Don Callis Family. And surely they can all coexist for one night. Jack agrees to that, and Darby says next week on Dynamite, they team up. Cool? Cool. Darby heads out, Brody barks, and “Jungle” Jack thinks on that. He set Jack on fire! Well, will all that be water under the bridge when it comes to fighting their common enemies?

Callis’ men get the job done here tonight, and wherever Kyle Fletcher is, he is surely happy to see it. But will Andrade get the job done when he battles Darby Allin?

And speaking of returns, Queen Aminata is finally 100% again, and she’s getting an opportunity at Willow’s TBS Championship! Will the Queen finally have her crown? Or will the Babe with the Power still be the Face of TBS? And then, with Darby getting Brody King and Jack Perry to agree that bygones are bygones, they’re teaming together in a Six Man Tag against Andrade, Mark Davis, and… KONOSUKE TAKESHITA! Did The Alpha perhaps hear what Okada had to say? And will the DCF hold together against such an eclectic trio?

Speedball hurries out here to celebrate with his amigos, and the fans cheer as this wild night in Winnipeg comes to a close! Will the AEW World Trios Champions be rolling on through Dynasty with the gold? And what about Cassidy & Roddy? Will they and The Dogs ever stop fighting?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision for it being on a Thursday because of NCAA Basketball Tournament Final Four being on Saturday. But hooray, a new take on AEW’s left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Excalibur spoiled Moxley VS Ospreay becoming Continental Championship last night, because that segment happened here on Collision! Moxley of course beat Bowens so as not to owe him a title match, but then Ospreay retaliating for last night was a fitting move. Good promo from Ospreay to officially name this a title match, and good promo from Moxley in response, their match will still be awesome, I just can’t be sure how it goes now that it is for the title. Maybe Ospreay should still win for the sake of revenge, and the title is just a bonus.

Very good promo from Darby to call out Andrade, and also good interaction with Brody and Jack to set up that Six Man Tag. I do appreciate that Jack wants to talk being set on fire, because many times in pro-wrestling, people “bury the hatchet” just because they’re now aligned as Faces or Heels. A real situation is Jack holding onto what happened until Darby apologizes or tries to make amends in some way. That said, Darby, Jack & Brody will surely hold together same as Kenny, Jack & Brody, and maybe Davis takes the loss. Konosuke certainly has to respond to Okada’s accusations, Konosuke is in Japan for Road to Sakura Genesis because I believe he defends his NJPW World TV Championship at Sakura Genesis on Saturday.

Divine Dominion of course won their match, but I’m a little surprised Brawling Birds aren’t going for them just yet. That said, it does makes sense in story for them to go after Thekla. Jamie VS Thekla will be awesome, but I would think Thekla finds a way to cheat that win. And Windsor VS Shafir being non-title, Marina can find a way to win and it won’t really hurt Windsor. We still need developments on the Toni Storm whodunnit, maybe something happens there with all of Toni’s various allies and enemies in one building. Again, this is either gonna be Mina confessing, “It was me, Toni! It was me all along!” or a new player joining the story.

Hikaru Shida returning tonight was awesome, she had a great match with Willow, and Willow getting the quick pin win was a great way for them both to stay strong. Shida is apparently continuing where she left off character wise, she was ready to snap and go Heel before she was sidelined, and now she might do that already in her return. I wonder if Shida attacks Willow next week at the go-home to set up a last-minute TBS Championship match for Dynasty. And if Aminata is back, they need to get on the promised match of her and Deonna Purrazzo for the ROH Women’s Pure Championship.

Good stuff in FTR VS Mo & London, mostly with London having no idea what to do when both opponents were down and out. But honestly, did we need a match at all when we knew Cope & Christian were gonna go out there, beat up security, and chase off FTR? I suppose better than FTR wasting time with a promo that doesn’t add new info. Great match from Ciampa VS Juice, great win for Ciampa, and who knows what singles title he actually challenges for. If Kyle Fletcher is seriously hurt to where he won’t be back for a considerable amount of time, get a TNT Championship match made, even if it is just an “interim” champion crowned.

Great promo from Okada with Andrade and Davis to address Kyle’s injury and to hype up Andrade & Davis VS Rascalz. Great match, but naturally Andrade & Davis won as momentum for not just Dynasty but the go-home Six Man Tag. Myron made a great save, I bet we get Rascalz VS Okada & RPG Vice for the go-home Collision or something. And then a great, wild Tornado 8 Man Tag. A little surprised they didn’t do anything with chairs or tables, but in a way that made it better, because it was just great brawling and teamwork. Great win for the Faces, but it doesn’t feel like anything is settled. As I said last night, there might be a Death Riders VS JetSetLucha trios title match made at some point.

My Score: 8.9/10
