Winner: Darby Allin
Rating: ***1/2. This absolutely ruled. The venue, visuals, and acoustic of this arena sound great and the fans are rabid. This was a holy s fest back and forth and both guys got a chance to look awesome here.
Darby says people tell him to slow down because he won’t be able to walk at 30, but he’s 30 and feels great. Darby doesn’t take a night off, and he’s ready for his first Blood & Guts. The Bucks never show up for Collision, so AEW is Darby’s baby now. Darby thanks the Bucks for bringing him here, but they suck now.
The Acclaimed are here and Daddy Ass is has had it. Blood & Guts isn’t about scissors or rapping, it’s time to nut up or shut up.
Match #2. Skye Blue vs. Hikaru Shida
Blue with a huge running boot to the face quickly and away we go. Snap mare by Blue and Shida ducks a rebound kick. Blue rolls to the outside and Shida comes off the middle rope with a crossbody block to the floor! The referee calls the doctor in to check on Blue as we go to commercial. Looks like the doctor is stopping this match as Shida walks to the back during the commercial break.
Winner: Hikaru Shida
Rating: NR. This stinks and I hope Blue is alright, as it seemed to be a knee or a hip injury.
Lance Archer is backstage and he’s beating the holy heck out of everyone for seemingly no reason.
Chris Jericho says he can match Suzuki blow for blow, match for match, experience for experience. Suzuki shouldn’t have turned down Jericho’s offer. Learning Tree vs. Murder Grandpa. Thanks, guys.
Match #3. Tony Nese w/ The Premier Athlete Brand vs. Rey Fenix w/ Alex Abrahantes
Top wrist lock by Fenix but Nese comes back with a spinning back kick. Neckbreaker by Nese gets two. Nese puts the boots to Fenix who tries to springboard off the middle rope but slips, and Nese goes right to the knee. Fenix fights back with some chops and a dropkick that sends Nese to the floor.

Pumphandle by Nese but Fenix slides out the back and superkicks Nese. Ropewalk PK by Fenix and a frog splash will finish this one.
Winner: Rey Fenix
Rating: **3/4. Far more competitive than I thought it would be and Fenix fought against all odds. Fenix rebounded after the early mis-step and the fans were here for this one.
Tony Schiavone is here with FTR. Cash said last week they believe Tommy Billington has the brightest future of anyone in the sport, but for now, he wants to talk about FTR. The last year, Cash had been dealing with some stuff personally and every night wrestling was his escape. Cash has a temper but everything you heard was untrue about him outside of the ring. It’s time for FTR to go Buck hunting. Dax runs down FTR’s credentials from the last two years and they’ve been losing a few matches lately. While Dax has been hurt, he’s been watching to see The Young Bucks take the tag team championship to the next level, but they haven’t defended the titles just once. Next week, FTR’s road to gold starts on Collision and they will give the fans everything they’ve got. That road will end at Wembley.
Hikaru Shida is here and says she came to Collision to fight. And she wants to fight… Dr. Britt Baker. Wednesday, at Dynamite.
Match #4. Tomohiro Ishii vs. Roderick Strong
Chop by Strong and Ishii doesn’t care. Ishii fires back. Here. We. Go. Blistering chops by both guys but a big shoulder block by Ishii sends Strong to the mat. Strong tries some elbows but Ishii keeps eating them and delivers one in return that drops Strong. Vertical suplex by Ishii gets two. Hip toss by Ishii and another big elbow. Strong rolls to the outside and Ishii follows him. Ishii eats a spicy dropkick that sends him into the guard rail. Uranage on the apron by Strong! Strong now in control throughout the PIP. Strong runs into a huge powerslam now and both guys are down. Hard clotheslines now in the corner by Ishii and he tosses Strong with a big German suplex. Ishii gets Strong up on the top rope and brings him in hard with a delayed superplex. Two count. Ishii looks for a powerbobmb but gets back body dropped. Big boot and an enziguiri by Strong but Ishii comes back with a headbutt. Olympic Slam by Strong as he ducks underneath a clothesline. Gutbuster by Strong. Two count. Ishii blocks End of Heartache and catches a rising knee, but comes back with another big headbutt. Ghetto Blaster by Ishii. Ishii eats a knee on the arm but comes back with a lariat with the other arm. Two count. Ishii calls for a brainbuster but here’s The Kingdom to cause the distraction. Strong low blows Ishii and drills him with the Sick Kick. One, two, three.
Winner: Roderick Strong
Rating: ***1/4. Lots of stuff, hard-hitting, in your face pro wrestling here. Ishii has wrestled the same way for 27 years and he’s not stopping. Good stuff.
After the match, The Undisputed Kingdom celebrate and then put the boots to Ishii. REACH FOR THE SKY, BOYS! Mark Briscoe and Kyle O’Reilly make the save as the UGK hightail it.

Sky Twister Press by Loco but Hologram moves and heads through the ropes. Moonsault by Hologram into… something. Loco rolls to the outside and Hologram comes off the top with a diving dragonrana. Spinning hook kick by Hologram sets up a spinning Blue Thunder Bomb that finishes this one, aka the Portal Bomb.
Winner: Hologram
Rating: **. Not much offense by Gringo Loco here, but he was the perfect opponent for the debuting Hologram. Hologram looked flashy and entertaining, but let’s see how they continue to use him.
The Von Erich’s are here with Dustin Rhodes. Dustin says the Von Erich’s are history here in Texas, and the Rhodes and Von Erich’s are together for the first time since 1978. Dustin says he’s got their back.
Match #6. Lumberjack Match: Deonna Purrazzo vs. Thunder Rosa
Rosa with an early dropkick and some hard chops, followed by a springboard crossbody. Purrazzo sends Thunder to the apron and then proceeds to DDT her through the ropes. Purrazzo sends Rosa outside and follows, but these girls don’t like Purrazzo so they beat her up. Both women on the top rope now and Purrazzo superplexes Thunder off the top through all of the women on the floor! Back inside the ring, Thunder counters a roll up with a victory roll of her own and a double stomp. Big boot by Purrazzo on the return as we go to commercial.

A huge fight breaks out at ringside and Taya Valkyrie hands Deonna Purrazo a turnbuckle piece on the far side, which she blasts Thunder Rosa with. One, two, three!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo
Rating: ***. Nice win for Purazzo and I was surprised at how little the stipulation meant, which is fine. They did some cool spots to the crowd but the wrestling in the ring was strong.
Match #7. AEW World Trios Champinoship: Bang Bang Gang vs. The Patriarchy
Nick Wayne and Austin Gunn start. Both guys trade some fast-faced offense that ends with Gunn hip tossing Wayne into a neckbreaker. Juice gets the tag and here comes Christian, much to the delight of the fans. Killswitch and Juice trade chops but Killswitch eats them. Back hand by Killswitch drops Juice. Killswitch goozles Juice but Juice bites him and stomps on the foot before hitting the ropes, but Christian trips him up from the outside and drops the neck over the top rope. Quick tags as Juice is in peril here, catching the business end of a diving European uppercut from Wayne. Juice comes back with the crossover neckbreaker and Austin gets the tag. Austin charges in the corner and Wayne ducks as Austin lands HARD on the outside. Nick Wayne in control now as he tags Christian, who rips at the back of Austin with his fingernails. Snap mare and some elbows to the neck of Austin. Body slam by Killswitch, who’s now legal. Killswitch runs into a boot in the corner and Juice gets the hot tag.

Winners and NEW AEW Trios Champions: The Patriarchy
Rating: ***1/4. The trios titles are with someone who surely can elevate them, and that will help. The Gunns and Juice did their best here, but Christian is just too crafty and we’ve got new champs.
