Final Thoughts: A solid two hours of pro wrestling here tonight. Top to bottom a consistent show, with a hot start and a hotter finish. AEW does a great job of bookending shows with great matches. House of Black, Don Callis Family, and Blackpool Combat Club are three of the most beloved factions right now, and they deliver every single time they are called upon. That’s 10+ wrestlers right there, that you can put into any combination of matches and be successful. Toni Storm delivered tonight, AZM had a great showing, Shibata continues to be awesome… just a fun episode of wrestling all around. A strong, pro wrestling-themed, episode of Collision. 8.25/10.Â
