Match #1. Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta vs. FTR

Winners: No Contest
Rating: ****. Excellent tag team match to start off Collision. The fans loved it and it’s great to see Yuta back, although Claudio did the bulk of the work in this one. The time limit draw is fine, but they should have announced it when the match started.
Dax grabs the mic and says the fans don’t want to see it end this way and demands five more minutes. Well, here’s Brandon Cutler. Cutler says the request for five more minutes has been denied by the EVPs before producing the contract. Claudio doesn’t care and Swings Cutler, right into a dropkick from Yuta. Claudio then slingshots Cutler into the Big Rig! All four men lock eyes and Claudio says he won’t shake hands, but whenever they want to run it back, they’re on.
Lexi Nair is with Kyle O’Reilly. Kyle says it’s easy to see why Cassidy is the face of the company, but…
KYLE!
The Undisputed Kingdom are here, and Strong says that Kyle has been good… but not great. Kyle says their support means a lot but he doesn’t need any help tonight. Wait, didn’t Strong attack O’Reilly?
Match #2. Kris Statlander w/ Stokely Hathaway vs. Robyn Renegade
Biels by Statlander. Renegade fights out of a powerbomb… momentarily. Powerbomby by Statlander. Saturday Night Special. Finito.
Winner: Kris Statlander
Rating: NR
Match #3. Johnny TV w/ Taya Valkyrie vs. Dustin Rhodes
Dustin quickly jumps outside to pose with Taya, but Johnny sees it and looks for a suicide dive. Taya get involved again on the far side of the ring and this time TV connects with a twisting tornillo through the ropes. TV sends Dustin into the steel steps and then back drops him on the apron as we go to commercial. Johnny TV escapes for a kiss from Taya while he puts the boots to Dustin.

High Kick by Johnny and a few knees to the face, setting Dustin up in the corner. Johnny goes up top for Starship Pain but he misses. Dustin is there with a Shining Wizard before finishing this with the Curtain Call.
Winner: Dustin Rhodes
Rating: **1/4. This was certainly a match that existed, but it just felt cold to me.
Dustin takes the mic and reveals… he’s getting old. Dustin says the fans never abandoned him after almost six decades, and he loves us all. Dustin thanks everyone for the opportunity, including Tony Khan, and then he thanks the cameramen too. Dustin has one more thing. Dustin wants to talk about… The Scapegoat. You want to attack the boss? The man who gave Perry a second chance? Well, Perry has never worked a day in his life and he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Perry hasn’t sacrificed a darn thing. The reason that Perry is mediocre is because he’s a follower and not a leader, and the view never changes. Dustin vs. Jack Perry… this Wednesday on Dynamite.
A video package for Zack Sabre Jr. is shown.
Match #4. The Premier Athletes vs. Dante Leon & Trip Jordy
Premier Athletes attack before the bell and we only get one name. Jordy gets tossed to the outside. Rikishi Driver. Finito.
Winners: The Premier Athletes
Rating: NA
Scorpio Sky is here in the back. Standing on the backs of fallen heroes, we can reach the stars. Sky will be your hero. Your voice. And your champion… because he’s here for you.
Match #5. Toni Storm w/ Luther & Mariah May vs. Lady Frost
Wrist trap by Frost but Storm counters as we trade top wrist locks. Storm hits the ropes and Frost yells “freeze”, forcing Storm to stop and look at the hard camera and pose. Funny stuff. Tieres by Frost sends Storm to the outside before following up with a moonsault off the apron. Storm gets thrown into the ring and takes advantage of the situation with a backbreaker. Storm with a double armbar before transitioning into a seated Full Nelson. Running hip attack in the corner by Storm only gets a two. Frost is back with a victory roll for a two count. Thrust kick and Code Blue by Frost! Two count. Frost goes up top, looking for Frost Bite, but Storm trips the legs out and connects with a Backstabber. Low Down by Storm gets two. Storm runs into a back elbow and Frost looks for Code Blue again, but Storm holds on, locks her hands, and finishes this one with Storm Zero!
Winner: Toni Storm
Rating: **1/2. Lady Frost continually delivers when she’s given the opportunity, which makes me wonder if we’ll get a chance to see more of her soon. Storm is untouchable at this point, obviously, and continues o build even more momentum ahead of her AEW Women’s World Championship defense at Forbidden Door.
Storm has a mic, telling Mariah May that it must be awkward for her as she fights her friend Mina Shirakawa in a few weeks at Forbidden Door. Storm loves May, and she wants to be the one to look out for her. Storm demands that May be entered into the Owen Hart Tournament., and Storm will be there every step of the way. Always remember, chin up, tits out, and watch for the shoeeeeeeee.
Lexi Nair is in the back with Top Flight & Shane Taylor Promotions. Next week, we’ll see Dante Martin vs. Lee Moriarty in a TNT Qualifier match.
Samoa Joe is confused about lacrosse, and Hook informs him it’s the oldest sport in America. Joe is surprised a sport that is half hockey and half soccer is the oldest sport in America, but then Joe opens a door and he and Hook jump The Premier Athletes! Joe wants Mark Sterling to remember who did this. Amazing pairing here.
Match #6. Daniel Garcia vs. Tate Mayfairs
Nigel puts over Mafairs, who is a product of the UK and Progress Wrestling. Mayfairs flips and cartwheels out of a wrist lock and arm drags Garcia. Mayfairs with some mounted punches in the corner before playing to the crowd, but Garcia has had enough and he runs through Mayfairs with a lariat. Diving clothesline from Mayfairs and some ground and pound. Mayfairs teases the Garcia dance but Garcia fires in some knees to the stomach. Twist and Shout by Garcia. Two. Three. Garcia runs into a boot in the corner but winds up eating a big Saito suplex. Garcia dance! Shotgun dropkick by Garcia and he locks in the guillotine choke. Mayfairs almost goes limp, but Gacia picks him up and finishes this with the Red Cross.
Winner: Daniel Garcia
Rating: *3/4. Just a bit more than an enhancement match here, as Garcia looked great in the process.
Orange Cassidy is with Lexi Nair. Cassidy says he’s got enough to worry about, all of his friends are gone, and every other week for two years, everyone wanted to team with Cassidy. Now, nobody wants to be around Cassidy. Cassidy isn’t thinking about Zack Sabre Jr and Forbidden Door, he’s thinking about wrestling Kyle O’Reilly… which he’ll be doing right now.
Match #7. Orange Cassidy vs. Kyle O’Reilly
Double leg by Kyle right into a scarf hold, as we see Taven, Bennett, and Strong sitting in the front row. Kyle demands that Cassidy enter his guard, and Cassidy doesn’t know what to do. Kyle inverts and now Cassidy sits down right in front of him. Monkey flip by Cassidy but Kyle locks in a kimura, forcing Cassidy to get to the ropes. Double leg by Kyle from behind and a hip toss attempt, but Cassidy counters with one of his own and a crucifix pint for two. Seatbelt by Kyle for two, but Kyle holds on with a straight armbar from back mount and Cassidy gets to the ropes. Head scissors by Kyle but Cassidy handstands out of it, but Kyle holds on and locks in a straight armbar, forcing a rope break as we go to commercial. Back from break and Cassidy holds on to a side headlock, but Kyle looks for a rear naked choke. Cassidy tris to put his hands in his pockets but Kyle has double underhooks, yet Cassidy somehow wriggles free and THEN does hands in pockets. Leap frog and a monkey flip by Cassidy, but Kyle goes low with some leg kicks and a foot sweep. Arm ringer by Kyle as he sends Cassidy up an over the top rope. Arm ringer over the top rope and a dragon screw leg whip between the ropes. Kyle bounces Cassidy’s knees off the apron, but he now spots The Undisputed Kingdom. Kyle looks perplexed, but he dragon screws Cassidy into the LED board a few times. Back in the ring and Kyle traps Cassidy in the corner. Reverse dragon screw by Kyle. Hard kicks to the leg now and Cassidy is getting checked on by the referee. More low kicks by Kyle but Cassidy is fighting to his feet. Dueling chants now as Cassidy powers up with a Pele kick to Kyle’s arm. Suicide dive by Cassidy and a diving crossbody back in the ring but Kyle rolls through, Cassidy continues to roll, and cradles Kyle for two. German suplex by Kyle. German suplex by Cassidy. German suplex by Kyle. German suplex by Cassidy. Both guys make it to their feet and then… collapse. Both guys stumble to their feet and they’re going kick for kick in the center of the ring. Kyle looks for a brainbuster but Cassidy counters with Stundog Millionaire, however Kyle transitions to an armbar! Kyle gives up the armbar for the ankle but Cassidy picks him up with a Michinoku Driver. Rolling elbow by Kyle. Rolling elbow by Cassidy!

Kyle stumbles, grabs the bottom rope, and rebounds back in the ring only to get hit with another Orange Punch! One, two, three!
Winner: Orange Cassidy
Rating: ****1/4. Excellent wrestling match. Kyle O’Reilly has delivered BANGERS since coming back, and this was no exception. Kyle worked the limbs with precision, but at the end of the day, Orange does Orange things and was able to weather the storm. Great main event.
After the match, Kyle walks to the back as Trent and Kyle Fletcher hit the ring! Cassidy gets umped from behind but Kyle sees what’s happening and tries to make the save for Cassidy, only to get beat down as well. Kris Statlander is here and she shakes hands with Trent before picking up Cassidy, but here’s Willow! Statlander retreats to the back as we fade to black.
Final Thoughts: As AEW usually does on Saturday’s, the show was bookended by some excellent wrestling matches. FTR and BCC set the tone for the show and Kyle and Cassidy crushed it in the main event. The show had a good pace tonight, as it felt like a quick two hours. Toni Storm interjecting Mariah May into the Owen provides us with a looming showdown at All In, which should be a fun ride. Dustin Rhodes promo was a bit hectic but it got us to his match with Jack Perry. Joe and Hook are a great buddy cop comedy waiting to happen. Lots of positives to take away tonight. 8/10.
