AEW Collision 4/12/2025
Live from the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts! Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness are on commentary and we’re breaking down the card for tonight. Tony has confirmed that Pac was hurt on Wednesday night, which means Jon Moxley has stepped in to defend the AEW World Trios Championship on Dynamite against The Opps! Let’s get to business tonight, however, as FTR are here to a chorus of boos.
Nigel McGuinness tells Tony he should watch his words carefully, considering Tony mentioned Dax’s daughter on Dynamite. Cash has the mic and says what happened Sunday wasn’t an easy decision, and it wasn’t an easy decision. Cash wanted to Dax to be wrong, but he wasn’t. Adam Copeland only cared about Adam Copeland. Cash knew what had to happen after that match, and he knew he had to be the one to do it. Copeland still saw Cash as that young helpless kid, and he didn’t respect him. FTR are living legends and will be treated as such.
Dax takes the mic and says he knows it’s cool to boo FTR in 2025. Instead of asking FTR why they did what they did, they should be thanking them. FTR gave Copeland everything he wanted. Copeland was begging for relevancy and FTR gave it to him. Dax understands there are a lot of people that are unhappy with them, and one of them is Tony Schiavone, so Dax invites Tony to the ring. Nigel tells Tony not to go, but Tony says he knows them, and he wants to go anyway. Dax says Tony had a lot of words for them when they were thousands of miles away, but does he have any words for them right now?
Tony says he sure does, and FTR are wrong. Tony said they made tag team wrestling relevant and they turned their back on the fans. Dax says there’s one more thing, it was about his daughter. Tony says everyone loved Dax’s daughter, but how could she go to school on Monday? Dax clubs Tony and thinks about a spike piledriver, but Nigel stands up from the desk! Nigel gets in the ring and lambasts Tony for not listening to him, but stands face-to-face with FTR. Daniel Garcia runs in the ring and FTR accidentally shove him to the ground, before picking him up and apologizing to him.
“Timeless” Toni Storm wishes everyone good luck and breaks down all of her potential opponents, in the best way possible.
Match #1. Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament: Jamie Hayter vs. Billie Starkz
Spinning hook kick by Starkz early and it BLASTS Hayter in the side of the head. Starkz and Hayter fight to the outside where Hayter dumps Starkz into the timekeeper’s table. Starkz finally gets up and bounces Hayter’s head off of the safety rail, before diving off the railing with a swanton bomb! Back in the ring, Starkz misses a double stomp and knees Hayter in the face, but Hayter responds with a spinebuster. Two count. Hayter dumps Starkz to the outside and we go to commercial. Back from break and Starkz fights back with chops and a boot in the corner. Stunner to the knee and a leg trip, following by a bridging German suplex by Starkz. Two count. Starkz tries for a suplex by Hayter blocks it, but Starkz ducks underneath, dragon suplex! Starkz holds on for a half-Cobra Clutch but Hayter fights to her feet. Ushigaroshi by Hayter. Basement lariat gets two. Starkz ducks the double jump Hayterade, following up with a brainbuster on the knee! Two count. Starkz goes up top… swanton! One, two, no! Both women are on the apron and Starkz looks for a piledriver, but Hayter fights out. Headbutt by Hayter! Superplex OFF THE APRON BY HAYTER! BOTH WOMEN LAND HARD! Somehow, both women get in the ring before the ten count. Thrust kick by Hayter and an enziguiri. Uranage across the knee by Hayter and the Hayterade finishes this one!
Winner: Jamie Hayter
Rating: ***1/2. Sure, this was a little sloppy in spots. This was also absolutely awesome. Starkz is still super young in her career and only getting better, but she’s getting in the ring with some of the best. Hayter looks awesome and here’s hoping this is the return to the world title picture.
Claudio says that only in death does duty end, and they expected casualties, referring to Pac. Moxley hopes this is a learning experience for punk ass play wrestlers who don’t want to show up to work. What are Joe and Shibata teaching Hook? Chicks dig scars, Hook.
Match #2. Gates of Agony vs. Smash and Burn
Uranage back breaker to Guy A. Running vertical suplex by Kaun. Short-arm clothesline by Toa. Pounce by Toa. Double choke bomb kinda thing. Finito.
Winner: Gates of Agony
Rating: NR
FTT are with Lexy Nair, but Matt Menard and Angelo Parker interrupt them. Menard has been waiting for them to show their true colors. Dax wants to know if they want to fight? They got it. Tonight. Tonight? How many matches are on this show? What’s happening?
Match #3. Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn vs. Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson
Quick commercial early as Christian comes with a pair of double boots to the arm of Bowens as he was holding on to Lee Johnson. Over the top Fameasser by Bowens. Grand Slam by Bowens (which is basically an inverted Olympic Slam) geta a long two. Christian goes to the eyes of Bowens and dumps him to the outside. Suicide dive by Christian, as he goes through the turnbuckles in the corner. Spinning draping DDT by Bowens as he catches Christian trying to come back in the ring. Bowens rolls Christian up for two but Christian comes back with a Spanish Fly for two. Handspring corkscrew kick by Christian as he goes up top now… 450 double stomp to Bowens! Two count. Rebound Sunner by Christian out of nowhere. Christian tells Gunn to “suck it” but Christian handsprings right into a superkick. Gunn drops Johnson at ringside. Rolling elbow by Bowens finishes this one. The rolling elbow is called the mollywop, by the way.
Winner: Anthony Bowens
Rating: ***. Shockingly good match here that I expected to be a squash. Christian has been on TV for like what, three weeks in a row? That’s pretty cool. Nice win for Bowens who they’re going to be pushing pretty hard it seems.
Bowens has the mic and says this has been a long time coming, and he’s AEW’s five-tool player. Bowens is the Pride of Pro Wrestling and he doesn’t need a government trademark to prove he’s the best, he’s going to prove it every week. Who’s going to step up to the plate and get their ass mollywopped.
*Nigel made a reference to Max Caster not being prepared for their match at Dynasty, and then he sneered and asked Tony Schiavone if he had any idea what that felt like, and they both laugh. That’s exactly what tonight’s show feels like. Both guys looked frazzled when the show started.”
Match #4. Megan Bayne vs. LMK & Kelly Madan
Fall away slam to LMK. Avalanche to Madan. One for LMK Double avalanche. Powerslam and lariat combo. Fate’s Descent to Madan on LMK.
Winner: Megan Bayne
Rating: NR.
Video package for All In Texas.
Match #5. AR Fox vs. Kevin Knight
Quick start as AR Fox enziguiris Knight on the apron. Over the top foot stomp to Knight on the apron and a monsault off the middle buckle. In the ring, Fox hits the ropes and walks right into a dropkick in the teeth. European uppercuts in the corner by Knight and the Low Down gets a two count. Rolling Thunder DDT attempt is blocked but Fox runs into another elbow. Seated Spanish Fly off the top by Fox out of nowhere! 450 splash gets a long two. Dropkick by Knight. Boot by Fox, who goes up top, but gets hurricanrana’d off. Rolling Thunder DDT by Knight and the Springboard lariat finishes this one.
Winner: Kevin Knight
Rating: **1/2. Nice little match here as Fox has no issues making someone look good, and Knight is fresh meat here in AEW and the crowd loves it.
The Gates of Agony are here, and they’re not even hurt. Hurt Syndicate, why don’t you try?
Match #6. FTR vs. 2.0
Daniel Garcia is at ringside for this one. FTR jump Menard and Parker before the bell rang and here we go. Stiff right hands to the face of Menard and he’s busted wide open. Menard is brutalized in the corner but he finds something inside and fires back right hands on Dax, but Cash pulls him off. Lariat by Dax. Shatter Machine to Parker. Spike piledriver to Menard. Another one! FTR looks for a third one but Garcia gets on the apron and tells them enough is enough, and they finally pin Menard.
Winners: FTR
Rating: NR.
Garcia checks on Menard inside the ring, but FTR blast him from behind and now it’s a spike piledriver to Garcia! Make that two! Security is here and Dax tosses referee Mike Posey, but they line Garcia up for a third one…
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM! The Undisputed Era aka The Undisputed Kingdom aka The Paragon are here to make the save! FTR bail to the back.

Both women trade roll ups earl and Cameron comes back with a high kick over the apron. Back suplex on the apron by Athena and a follow up off the apron on to the floor! Commercial break. Back from break and Cameron is locked in a bow and arrow. Cameron gets to the ropes and hits a Russian Leg Sweep. Athena is back with a running pump kick. Tree of Woe by Athena but she misses a baseball slide and Cameron flips out. Spinning neckbreaker by Cameron and an enziguiri. Cameron tries a crossbody but Athena holds on, hoists her up for a powerbomb, but Cameron head scissors her way out. Double jump by Athena right into a right hand. Tear drop suplex by Cameron gets two. Cameron looks for her finishing move but Athena counters with a powerbomb. Deadlift.. another powerbomb. Underhook pump handle like GTS? By Athena. O FACE. That’s it
Winner: Athena
Rating: **1/2. Cameron is working on her in-ring and she’s growing by leaps and bounds, but we had a few slip ups here. Athena is a forever champion for a reason and her against Mercedes should be an absolute treat.
Four Belts Mone is here and she’s going to show Athena why Mone changes everything.
Match #8. Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Brody King
Body slam by King and a back suplex. King misses a running senton so Takeshita boots him in the face. Both guys are on the apron now and King DRILLS HIM with a Death Valley Driver on the apron. King sets Takeshita up on the chair in the corner and tries to charge, but Takeshita counters with a rising knee strike to the face! Tope con hilo by Takeshita right into a commercial break.

Powerdrive Knee but King eats it. A second one drops King. One, two, no! Takeshita drops the knee pad and hits another one from behind the head. One more Powerdrive knee! One, two, three!
Winner: Konosuke Takeshita
Rating: ****. Yep, overrating the heck out of this. They should have had 10 more minutes in the main event tonight but this was everything I want from two heavyweight meat monsters. Outstanding main event.
Final Thoughts: You ever completely forget you were having people over, and then you scramble at the last minute to clean the house and put out whatever kinda food you have in the fridge just to have something to present? That’s what tonight’s show felt like. Eight matches on a two-hour show is a bold choice, especially considering it’s a live episode. That said, we had some good stuff and a nice focus on the Owen Hart Foundation tournament in both the men’s and women’s divisions. The main event ruled and the rest of the show was good, it was just… weird. 7.5/10 .
