All Elite Wrestling returns tonight at 8/7c on TNT and HBO Max, as AEW Collision emanates from Charleston, W.V.
Jon Moxley opened the show saying that he could apologize for losing his temper on Dynamite, but he wasn’t going to do that. Will Ospreay has chosen his side, and his problem with the match with Ospreay wasn’t that he had a chance of losing, but that he thought he was likely to beat Ospreay. Moxley said he was worried about what happened when he beats Ospreay, and Ospreay is back to the bottom, because Moxley has already given him everything, and there will be nothing to rebuild after Moxley beats him. Moxley said that the pull of gravity was gentle at first, but then it pulls you down to the bottom, and there was no coming back from that. This was an excellent promo to open the show.
Myron Reed (w/ Zachary Wentz) vs. Darby Allin (c) (w/ Steven Borden) for the TNT Championship
It does not take long for both men to start moving fast in this one, with Allin and Reed immediately exchanging pinfall attempts and Allin stopping a nip up with a headlock, which was a cool little spot. Allin went for a lariat but Reed dropped down and niped back up to avoid it. Allin hit a shotgun dropkick and went for the Coffin Drop, but Reed shoved Allin from the ropes and he rolled off the ropes, hit face first on the apron, and fell to the floor. Reed then hit a tope con giro over the ropes by the corner onto Allin as they went to an ad break on TNT.
Reed brought Allin back into the ring, hit a snapmare and locked on a dragon sleeper. Allin fought out and went for the Scorpion Deathlock, but Reed fought out, shoved Allin to the corner, and hit a forearm that dropped Allin. Allin managed to hit a superplex on Reed as they came back from the break, and Reed rolled to the floor. Allin put Reed in the corner of the guardrail and whipped Reed towards the steps, but Reed leaped up on the steps and hit a leaping kick on Allin before hitting a flatliner on the floor after hanging Allin off the barricade.
Reed went for a 450 splash, but missed and Allin hit a Code Red for a 2-count. Allin hit a suicide dive as hard as he possibly could on Reed and then went for another Coffin Drop, but Reed rolled out of the way to the floor. Allin went for another suicide dive, but Reed caught him this time with a cutter on the floor, taking Allin out of midair. Reed went to the top rope and Allin pulled a play out Reed’s book and rolled to the apron on the other side of the ring. Reed, however, did not make a mistake like Allin did and hit a running, diving cutter over the top rope off the apron to the floor. Incredible.
Reed setup a chair on the floor, but Allin rolled into the ring. Reed hit a 450 splash so hard that he rolled through and off Allin afterwards, and Allin managed to get his foot on the ropes to break the pinfall attempt. Reed went for another cutter off the apron, but Allin cut him off. Reed kicked Allin and he fell towards the chair on the floor. Reed went for a tope con giro, but Allin moved and Reed crashed through the chair., allowing Allin to send him into the ring and hit the Coffin drop for the pinfall victory. Great match.
Result: Darby Allin defeated Myron Reed
–Reed and Allin shook hands after the match as Wentz and Borden gave props to both guys. Allin grabbed a mic and asked the fans to appreciate Myron Reed, saying he belonged. Allin said that teaming with Sting was one of the greatest things he ever experienced, and on Sunday, he and Borden were going to chase the titles that he and his dad never lost. Borden said that he was going to lay it all on the line and he gets to check off two boxes – being tag team champion, and doing it with Darby Allin.
–Don Callis was backstage with Kyle Fletcher, Kevin Knight, and Kazuchika Okada, and Knight said that he wasn’t sure that Fletcher and he would make a good tag team, but after teaming with Fletcher, he was beginning to trust the vision that Callis had. Fletcher agreed and said that he was reluctant, but he and Knight work well together, so they were going to beat Allin and Borden and become number one contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Fletcher said it was on time too, because after All Out, Okada may lose the only gold the Don Callis family has. Okada stood up, ignoring the comment from Fletcher, looked into the camera, and said to Tommaso Ciampa, “You wanted the Rainmaker, but you better be careful what you wish for.” Another excellent promo segment.
-The Bang Bang Gang were backstage and decided to challenge The Dogs and Death Riders to a Tailgate Brawl, and Robinson was the coach, and he started assigning positions to the members of the group, while Jay White noted that he did not know the rules. Juice screamed that it didn’t matter, and that they were going to take it to the Dogs and Death Riders, while chanting two words: Foot. Ball.
Zayda Steel (w/ Christopher Daniels) vs. Thekla
Steel went right after Thekla, hitting punches, a shoulder tackle, and a dropkick for a 2-count. Thekla and Steel exchanged a series of counters with an Irish whip before Steel hit a lung blower that popped Willow Nightingale on commentary. Steel was very fired up here, responding with slaps and strikes at every provocation from Thekla, but Thekla finally turned it around with a kick that sent Steel to the floor before hitting a flying double stomp on the back of Steel.
Nightingale noted on commentary that Thekla was focused too much on having fun on the floor, and noted that she needed to bring it into the ring to win the match. This did not stop Thekla, as the fans cheered wildly as she beat Steel down. Thekla put Steel on the apron and then used Steel’s hand to wave at Nightingale. Thekla hit a snapmare and a superkick to the back of Steel’s head. Steel was dumped to the floor again by Thekla, who posed for the crowd, saying “I’m feeling myself today!” Clearly, with the poses. Thekla told Nightingale to stop talking, and that she wouldn’t fight a cripple, due to Nightingale’s broken hand. However, this was a mistake from Thekla as it allowed Steel to hit a basemen dropkick on Thekla.
As they came back into the ring, Steel missed a corner charge and Thekla used a spider guillotine. Steel responded with a Thesz press. Steel hit a TKO soon after that for a 2-count. Steel yelled “This is what you do to a spider” before stomping on Thekla, which was actually pretty funny. Steel went to the top rope, but Thekla cut her off. Steel fought out and went for a sunset flip powerbomb, but Thekla held onto the ropes. Steel hit a chop and then a flying stomp on Thekla, who was trapped in the tree of woe, for a 2-count.
Steel went for a Killswitch, but Thekla shoved her away. Steel went for a lariat, but Thekla bridged under to duck and Steel turned into a spear, but Thekla picked her up at 2 and hit a curb stomp for the pinfall.
Result: Thekla defeated Zayda Steel
Thekla was incredible in this match, which is not really a surprise, but she is such a tremendous wrestler.
–A hype video aired for Thekla and Willow Nightingale fighting to become the number one contender for the AEW World Women’s Championship at Wrestle Dream.
PAC vs. Adam Priest
PAC and Priest is the kind of match that is booked because Tony Khan likes dudes who can wrestle. That is what this match was, and both guys did it well. PAC and Priest are just two tough guys who are willing to hit each other hard and work any style required for a match, and this is exactly what happened here with PAC remaining in charge for most of it, but Priest getting a little bit here and there until PAC hit a tombstone and locked on the Brutalizer for the submission finish.
Result: PAC defeated Adam Priest
–As PAC was getting ready to leave, Andrade El Idolo’s music hit, and it was noted that PAC was on a 5-match win streak. I suspect we’ll be seeing him face Andrade in the near future.
Daniel Garcia (w/ Marina Shafir) vs. Andrade El Idolo (c) for the AEW National Championship
Andrade led the fans in a “How you know?” chant and shrugged when Garcia looked at him. Garcia shoved Andrade back into the corner but Andrade took him down and slapped the back of Garcia’s head as the fans continued to chant. Both men did a test of strength, but it was broken cleanly. Garcia tried to throw Andrade to the floor, but Andrade caught himself in the ropes. Tranquilo. Andrade hit a hurricanrana and then a pescado to the floor. A woman in the front row tried to pose with Andrade, but Shafir intimidated her into sitting down and tried to slap Andrade, which was enough of a distraction that led to Garcia recovering and attacking Andrade.
Garcia hit several chops in the corner on Andrade and Irish whipped him across the ring into the corner as they came back from an ad break on TNT. Garcia hit several punches in the corner but Andrade responded with a chop of his own and hit the first of three amigos, but Garcia countered and sent Andrade to the floor. Garcia went back to the woman in the front row, took her phone, and posed for a selfie, but dropped the phone in fear when he saw Shafir staring at him. This also allowed Andrade to hit two lariats and a forearm back in the ring.
Andrade sent Garcia to the floor and took of his pants to reveal his tights, and hit a torneo on the floor. Garcia moved out of the way of a meteora and went for a suplex, but Andrade countered into the three amigos, only hitting two this time, before Garcia hit a series of upkicks and then launched Andrade into the air with his feet to pull him back into a rear naked choke. Andrade managed to stand up and fell backwards, crushing Garcia and breaking the choke. Andrade hit his double jump moonsault for a 2-count. Andrade went for a meteora, but Garcia countered into a roll up, and then there appeared to be a botched 3-count, as it was a 2-count, a 1-count, and then a 3-count, but it looked like two 3-counts.
Result: Andrade El Idolo defeated Daniel Garcia (I think)
–Garcia responded as he should have in character, thinking he won, but regardless, Andrade offered a handshake. The Death Riders attacked, and PAC grabbed a mic before saying that he was going to challenge Andrade at AEW All Out. Francisco Akira ran out to try and make the save, and he was doing well before Marina Shafir caught him in a rear naked choke, which allowed Claudio Castagnoli lay him out repeatedly, including two chokeslams across his knee, which looked brutal. Mike Bailey ran down with a chair to make the save and it is Bailey vs. Yuta next.
Mike Bailey vs. Wheeler Yuta (w/ Marina Shafir)
Bailey and Yuta wasted no time at all in this match, with Bailey being sent face first into the steps. Yuta then made Bailey pay for not wearing boots, bending hit foot across the metal turnbuckle. Yuta went for a suplex, but Bailey hopped up to the middle rope and hit a dropkick on Yuta before hitting a sole butt and a series of kicks that dropped Yuta. Bailey hit a standing shooting star press for a 2-count and went for an armbar, but Yuta fought out and hit a spectacular dead lift German suplex for a 2-count. After an exchange, Bailey hit a triangle moonsault to the floor as they went to an ad break on TNT.
Yuta and Bailey fought on the top rope, with Yuta looking to hit a back suplex on Bailey, but Bailey fought him off. However, he was stuck in the tree of woe, and Yuta hit him with dropkick and then the back superplex on Bailey. Nigel McGuinness noted that this was yet another move that Yuta stole from Bryan Danielson, which is interesting. Yuta and Bailey exchanged a series of counters into pinfall attempts that ended with a spin kick from Bailey that dropped Yuta. Excellent stuff. Yuta ran directly into a kick from Bailey, and Bailey hit a falcon arrow before going for Ultima Weapon, but Yuta moved out of the way. Bailey countered a charge with a flying armbar, but Yuta kept fighting out of it. Bailey gave up and went for a moonsault into double knees, but Yuta dodged. Yuta went for the Busaiku knee, but Bailey dodged, and there was a series of counters and pinfall attempts again until Bailey was able to capture the wrists of Yuta in a pinfall attempt for the win.
Result: Mike Bailey defeated Wheeler Yuta
–Mike Bailey was immediately attacked by The Dogs and Death Riders, but the Bang Bang Gang ran out to make the save, and suddenly there was a wild brawl with security and officials trying to stop the fight as Tony Schiavone confirmed the Tailgate Brawl happening next Saturday.
–A Jack Perry hype video aired with him calling out Samoa Joe, saying he needed to fight the best. HOOK, Action Andretti, and Anthony Bowens said he was foolish for calling out Samoa Joe, but said that if he wanted to face Joe, then he would have to go through Katsuyori Shibata first.
Mina Shirakawa & Queen Aminata vs. Georgia South & Emily Jaye
This was a pretty simple squash match, with Aminata and Shirakawa winning in fairly short fashion.
Result: Mina Shirakawa & Queen Aminata
–Nick Wayne was backstage and he cut a promo on Chris Jericho, saying that it wasn’t him that learned a lesson, but Jericho.
–A hype video aired for Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley, and it was fantastic.
Jon Moxley vs. Zachary Wentz
Wentz worked a surprisingly grounded style at the start of this match, going for an ankle lock. However, Wentz immediately picked up the pace and hit a corckscrew crossbody and a dropkick that sent Mox to the floor before hitting a torneo. When tehy came back into the ring, Moxley hit 10-punches in the corner and bit Wentz. Moxley stomped on the hand of Wentz and continued to work over the wrist for the next few minutes. Moxley hit a few forearms in the corner but Wentz came out with a flying kick that dropped Moxley.
Wentz hit a PK on Moxley and a Blockbuster for a 2-count. Wentz locked on a half crab, but Moxley rotated under and turned it into a rear naked choke, but Wentz managed to fight out into a cradle. Moxley immediately kicked out and got backup, but ate a handspring knee from Wentz who then went for a Spiral Tap, but Moxley moved and hit a curb stomp. Moxley then hit a huge Death Rider for the pinfall victory.
Result: Jon Moxley defeated Zachary Wentz
–Moxley and the Death Riders celebrated together, including Moxley taking a picture with a kid in the crowd, as they went off the air.
