The Bounty Hunter fought hard, but fell just shy of the 18 minute mark. Even so, he won everyone’s respect, Eddie’s included. Tony Schiavone joins Eddie in the ring to say, “What a match, guys!” This was a Proving Ground match, Eddie had quite the fight. Eddie says, “Oh, Captain Obvious, Tony Schiavone, folks! Lois rules!” But seriously, talk to Bounty Hunter. Schiavone talks with Texas native Bryan Keith and the fans cheer him on. Hell of a match!

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Jon Moxley gathered himself at the end of the show and realized who it even was that attacked him during the show. Volador Jr! Thought that was Daddy Magic for a moment. But what this really reminds him of is this one really bad night in Laredo, Texas. He spent the night in a drunk tank, and more things change, the more they stay the same. He loves Laredo. But the CMLL guys, the greatest luchadores in the world, that’s nice. But the BCC, they study the history of pro-wrestling from all over the world, and they have respect for the history for this sport. A deep respect for the craft and the art of the greatest sport in the world.
So there’s no reason not to show respect to CMLL. The luchadores, the fans in Arena Mexico, and the heritage of lucha libre. “But dude, you came into my house and talked some sh*t, you got in my face. I’m not even mad about it, to be honest with ya. These things happen. But that behavior must be paid for. You think you can come to AEW and think this is like that other show on that other channel. Easy, lazy American wrestlers? Nah, man. This is All Elite Wrestling. And the Blackpool Combat Club is the elite of the elite. Tonight, you showed up in our backyard. You better hope and pray that we never show up in yours.”
The Maniac issues a warning, will all of CMLL take those words to heart?

Backstage interview with FTR & Daniel Garcia.
Lexi is with Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler & #RedDeath and notes the big win in last week’s Steel Cage main event. It was absolutely incredible, so is the plan going to be they keep this going? Garcia says sometimes, the best things in life come unexpectedly. He never planned to team with FTR, but now they’re being nicknamed things like #DGFTR, #FTGarcia. No matching gear yet, maybe they can change that, but it doesn’t matter what you call them or what you think they are, he’s just glad he’s got these two guys by his side.
Cash agrees, they didn’t expect this team-up. But he likes it. He likes having one of the best rising young stars on their side, and the success that they’ve had with him. They closed the chapter with House of Black, so now they’re opening a new one. And Dax isn’t sure if Lexi knows this or not, but the rankings are back. FTR didn’t make the tag team rankings, but that’s fine since the division is chalked full of talent. But the top five they did make is the Trios Rankings. And who knows if they’re starting a new chapter with Christian Cage & The Patriarchy, but they are starting a new chapter as a trio.
So unfortunately, Christian, you and your “sons” are in the way. #TopGuysOut. Will Dax, Cash & Garcia make Captain Charisma #FearTheRankings?
2v1 Handicap Match: Hook VS The Outrunners!
The FTW Champion is so ready for a fight with big man Brian Cage, that he’s willing to fight two fairly big guys in Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd, at the same time! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure The Machine understands what he’s getting into?

Truth flounders away, Turbo gets mad and tells him to kill him! Truth runs in but Hook arm-drags! Hook has a top wristlock, but Turbo runs up to stomp Hook down! Hook gets mad and he ROCKS Turbo in return! The ref breaks that up, but Truth pokes Hook in the eye! Truth CLUBS Hook, tags Turbo, and Turbo goes after Hook. Hook throws body shots, but Turbo CLUBS him! Turbo tags Truth, then they double scoop SLAM! The Outrunners spin around but fans boo.
Truth drags Hook up but Hook fires hands! Truth staggers, Turbo tags back in and he CLUBS Hook again. Turbo reels Hook in, winds it up, flexes, but Hook throws body shots! Turbo CLUBS Hook again, tags Truth, and the Outrunners DOUBLE SUPLEX! Fans boo while the Outrunners both flex, but Hook rises right back up! The fans fire up, the Outrunners think that’s for them, but then they see Hook! Hook dodges them, to DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up, Hook clinches Turbo to EXPLODER! Truth storms up, into a clinch!

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to the Rio Grande Valley, and he says what a night it has been. But welcome out the man who helped FTR & Garcia in that Steel Cage match, it’s MARK BRISCOE! The fans fire up as the Sussex County Chicken makes his way out here, feeling good even after being thrown down through a table! Briscoe joins Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone says the fans love him. A week ago, Briscoe was there to help FTR, and he was there for them. Briscoe says yeah, that’s what he told ’em. But first thing’s first, he is sure he and Schiavone can agree: It feels damn good to be here in Texas tonight! The fans cheer that!
Schiavone also agrees, and Briscoe says this is very special for him. See, as a young man, a child, he spent his Saturday nights with big brother Jay watching Schiavone on the TV. Schiavone would have the mic and talk to some of the best to ever talk! We’re talking American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, babeh! Nature Boy, Ric Flair, babeh! So this is quite special for Briscoe. And Texas, it feels damn good to be here with Tony Schiavone! The fans cheer that! Briscoe has them simmer down now so we can get serious. Last week, he came out here to the aid of his brothers in arms, FTR, and good friend, Danny Garcia.
Because that’s what we do! We fight for our friends, for our family. Now, Briscoe wasn’t five steps off that stage when he was getting jumped by the House of Black. They stomped his head, picked him up, and threw him off that stage like a sack o’ taters, and left him for dead! But fast-forward to the end, Schiavone, the credits rolled, and it was Briscoe, FTR & Garcia with their hands held high while the House of Black crawled back to the locker room, licking their wounds. This is how they do! You knock ’em down, they’ll get back up. This has been the most challenging year of Briscoe’s life.
After 20 YEARS of being one half of the baddest tag team on the planet, #DemBoyz, give it up for ’em! After 20 years of that, now he is solo. Things didn’t go exactly Briscoe’s way, but that’s alright. Because in the end, you knock him down, he gets back up. You shoot him, you better kill him, dammit! He fights until he can’t fight no more, and then he fights some more! But then the lights go down!! Fans freak out, because from the tron, it’s the House of Black! Malakai says, “Well, well, Briscoe. That’s beautiful. That’s really emotional, very touching. Hey, Mark, you like magic tricks? See, I love magic tricks. And I specifically like the one where the magician makes people disappear.
“Cuz that’s what we intend to do to you and everything you just spoke about. We are going to eradicate you from the history of professional wrestling. And it’ll happen, just like this.” And then the lights come back on! No House of Black but Mark is on guard. “See? It’s that easy. We’re already in your head.” The tron goes back to normal, when and where will the House look to tear Mark down?
Adam “Edge” Copeland speaks.
“I started this Cope Open to prove to Christian Cage what I’ve always told him: That I’m just better. I also wanted to see who would step up, who wanted it.” The Rated R Superstar has faced Griff Garrison, Lee Moriarty, Dante Martin, and even the legendary Minoru Suzuki. They beat the hell out of each other, and if Christian wants Edge to earn his title shot, then he’ll keep fighting. He works hard, but will he make it 5-0 in Las Vegas next week?
Serena Deeb VS Queen Aminata!
The Professor of Professional Wrestling made her return to action last week, and she’s looking to teach another lesson tonight. Will the Woman of 1000 Holds be 2-0 with ease? Or will the Queen of Guinea finally have her moment?

Swerve Strickland is here!
Prince Nana is, too! And Nana does his dance as The Realest makes his entrance. They both go to the ring, Tony Schiavone waiting for them. Schiavone says Wednesday, Dynamite in Phoenix, it is Swerve VS Hangman, part 3, and the winner moves on to face Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship, AEW Revolution on March 3rd. Schiavone welcomes Nana back, and asks Swerve his thoughts on the coming match. Swerve says it’s Black History Month now. Yes, Happy Black History Month. Swerve says that means it is the celebration of Black history in all industries, all walks of life.
Swerve is noble enough to show appreciation for all those who came before him. Some people even Schiavone may know, like Ron Simmons. How about even some friends of Swerve’s? Kofi Kingston! Or perhaps in house, some people that have been some of the best wrestlers on the planet and holding down a brand for well over a year now. The ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena! What up, sis? And very soon, we’ll add another name to that list. Whose House? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Because this Wednesday, Swerve has the opportunity to accomplish something he said he was gonna do the moment he was in AEW, and that is become THE AEW World Champion. Now, he admits, y’all, he has not been a saint. He has done horrible, terrible, reprehensible things. But he had to do those things to get here, talking to Schiavone. And he doesn’t regret any of it. What about the assertion that Hangman says, that Swerve cannot beat Hangman without help? Nana says whoa, whoa, whoa now, Schiavone. That’s- Swerve has Nana stop there, and the fans chant for “COWBOY SH*T!” But Swerve says Hangman is a man in Swerve’s way of being great.
Hangman is a man that has left scars on Swerve’s body, and has literally shed Swerve’s blood. But also a man that Swerve has beaten twice now. But y’know what it is! Third time’s the charm, right? Maybe this is the time where Swerve finally puts Hangman behind him once and for all, to then become Black History! Then after that, Swerve beats Joe at Revolution to become World Champion! Nana says in the end, Mogul Embassy will be on top, because they will be beside their boss, controlling- Swerve stops Nana here. Swerve tells Nana that we all understand, the Embassy is family. But it’s also business.
And trust Swerve, he wants Nana by his side. But no interference this time. Because there will be no more excuses. Right, Hangman? See you Wednesday. Whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Will The Realest be the one to end this once and for all? Or is the third time the charm for Hangman in getting a win over Swerve?

Christian is shocked! And Garcia stares him down, to DO HIS DANCE! The Patriarchy falls, will #DGFTR head towards gold one way or another?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision here, with some story build happening again after some struggles. I do like that they gave us two weeks in a row of Bryan Danielson interrupting Eddie Kingston’s moment to hype up their coming title match. Great match from Eddie VS Bryan Keith, though I figured Eddie would win. But also great to hear that AEW has officially signed Bryan Keith after months now of using him both on AEW and ROH programming. And Bryan Danielson VS Hechicero was awesome stuff, great technical wrestling, especially Hechicero’s creative take on “llave” technical lucha. Bryan of course wins there, and with that and Moxley’s promo, it makes sense to have a trios match for Phoenix now.
Great promo from Swerve, especially with the namedrops he gave. And I like that he made it clear that Swerve VS Hangman part 3 will be a fair 1v1 fight. As I said for Dynamite, there’s a possibility they make this a draw of some kind so that they both get their shot at Samoa Joe at Revolution. Using a Triple Threat for an “opportunistic” finish can help keep all three men strong while still having a winner, such as Joe retaining or Swerve finally winning the world title. Really good promo from Toni Storm and her group to call out Deonna, motivate the match with Red Velvet, and have Storm again be dismissive of Mariah.
Velvet had a good match and good win over Vert, but I really liked that she took it upon herself to name-drop the ROH Women’s TV title since ROH gets mostly forgotten by AEW. Really good match of Deeb VS Aminata, with Deeb of course winning but Aminata looking her best yet. If it isn’t Billie Starkz winning the ROH Women’s TV title, then why not give it to Aminata? She has proven herself match after match to be a great talent, she’s gotta get something. And a decent handicap squash match where Hook beats both Outrunners. Hook should be a bit more careful doing back drops when he isn’t all that big yet. But of course he wins, he now has momentum going into his match with Brian Cage.
Great promo from Mark Briscoe to tie him deeper into this House of Black story. I said last week that there could be an 8 Man Tag brewing, where the House gets a fourth man so Briscoe can joins FTR & Garcia. And if commentary in the main event was any indication, it could be Menard turning to the dark side. He was only moderately happy that Garcia won in the end there, but that could also just be Menard not wanting Garcia to leave the former Jericho Appreciation Society behind completely. The main event was great stuff, especially for it being the first match Christian, Luchasaurus & Nick Wayne have had in over a month. And I do like that they’re also setting Garcia up for a potential singles title shot against Christian while Edge still “earns” his way back up.
My Score: 8.7/10

Adam Copeland is here!
The fans fire up and sing along as The Rated R Superstar makes his entrance, complete with the pyro but also a black eye. Cope goes to the ring, he grabs a mic, and he tells Seattle, “If you couldn’t tell, Dynasty on Sunday didn’t necessarily go our way. Yes, my face got messed up, way to go, Einstein. I got glue in my forehead, staples in my forehead, I got a shiner. Let’s face it, FTR… They said what they were gonna do and they did it.” The fans boo but Cope says they got to Christian, too, that’s why he’s not here. Christian’s gotta get an MRI on his forearm to see if it’s broke. The fans also boo that.
Cope says FTR gave his wife a piledriver. They took Christian’s watch! And in Christian’s world, that’s actually worse! There are three things you don’t mess with when it comes to Christian: His watch, his wine, and his women. In that order. But FTR, on Dynamite, you came out and said that while you’re the champions, Cope & Cage will not get another title shot. The fans boo again, but Cope says he is cooking an idea on that so bear with him. But if FTR thinks that this is just about titles, that C&C are just gonna walk away cuz they didn’t win at Dynasty, they’ve watched C&C’s careers and think that these two are just gonna walk away?
Do you think that they’re just gonna tuck their tails and run? The fans say “NO!” Cope says that is NOT what they do! Christian was forced to retire for seven YEARS! He busted his ass and he got this back! The fans cheer that, and Cope says he was retired for NINE YEARS, told he can never do this again because if he fell over, he could die! But Cope is standing here, full o’ piss ‘n’ vinegar! C&C are like dogs on a bone, and they will END FTR and take their pound of flesh! The fans cheer, but then FTR makes their way out here. Cope is ready to fight, but where are they? FTR walks out on stage, and Stoke has the mic as he smiles at Cope.
But then RPG VICE rush Cope, just like last week! Cope is ready this time and he fights off Rocky & Trent, but now FTR joins in! The fans boo this 4v1 mugging with Stoke cheering them on! But wait! The Young Bucks rush out here! Matt & Nick Jackson rush the ring, and they dodge FTR to CLOBBER RPG Vice! Then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for FTR! RPG Vice go after The Bucks, then send them at each other! The Bucks reverse to LARIAT Rocky, then they DOUBLE SUPERKICK Trent! Cope SPEARS Trent down and the fans fire up! Cope snarls as he stands back up, and he shakes hands with The Bucks as thanks for the help.
Cope & The Bucks stare FTR down as FTR retreats, but will The Bucks and C&C have to fight it out to go after those tag team championships?
Jack Perry speaks.
“At Dynasty, I got my first taste of what it’s like to defend this championship. And it’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. But Don Callis, you only got close enough to get a sniff, because I beat your biggest, baddest and most dangerous, Mark Davis. But after what you just did to the Young Bucks, well, I wanna shove this up your big, stupid, spray-tanned nose. So why don’t you go ahead and pick your favorite goon out of the bunch and meet me next week in Portland so that I can add another notch to my belt as the National Champion.” Jungle Jack has thrown out the challenge, but who will be up to the task?

The champions stand tall, and to celebrate, they wind it up to TRIPLE HIGH-FIVE! You GOT to give the people what they want! But will that continue with the reign?
The Opps commandeer a camera.
Hook & Shibata are back, and the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil says he found this crazy coffee shop in Seattle. But then Anthony Bowens walks in and says he’s glad he found them. Bowens needs to know right now, is he Opps or not? Hook says slow your roll, bud! Hook will give Bowens his decision next week. Hook’s the boss now, so what he says goes. Bowens says yeah, okay, boss. The 5 Tool Player heads out, Hook goes back to talking about the coffee shop. Will Hook consider Bowens tough enough to join the crew? Or will he just string Bowens along another week?
Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida VS Big Anne & Danika Della Rouge!
These two former AEW Women’s World Champions did make a winning combination last week, but not exactly cohesive. The Galaxy’s Greatest didn’t get a word in edgewise when The Shining Samurai said they’d do it again, but will they do it again? Or will things fall off already for #Krishida?
The teams sort out and Stat starts against DDR. The two tie up, Kris powers DDR to a corner, then pie faces her around. Kris eggs DDR on, then dodges her to hit a BIG back suplex!

The dynamic duo does it again, and with a bit more teamwork than last time. Will they keep on winning until they’re going after gold together?
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley VS Nick Wayne!
Will Ospreay had The Maniac dead to rights, but he didn’t end Moxley when he should have. The Continental title is still with Moxley, but will The Prodigy prove himself worthy of an opportunity? Or will Moxley send Nick home crying to Mother Wayne?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Nick. Nick bails out to revel in that cheering, but the ring count is climbing. Nick knows this isn’t like an ROH Proving Ground where there’s only ten minutes, right? Moxley chuckles while he waits on Nick, and Nick slowly steps back into the ring. Nick and Moxley circle, tie up, and Moxley wrenches for an ELBOW BREAKER, then a hammerlock. Moxley then headlocks but Nick wrenches out. Moley wrenches back, hammerlocks again, and he wrangles Nick to the mat. Nick endures, fights around, then rolls to kip up, wrench, and wrangle Moxley.

Moxley CHOPS Nick again, then stalks him to another corner. Moxley CHOPS, then keeps Nick in the corner.
Moxley rains down fists, all the way to nine, then he CHOPS Nick as the tenth! The fans fire up as Moxley stands Nick up. Moxley whips, Nick reverses to then hurdle and bypass for the UPPERCUT! Nick kips up, dusts himself off, then snapmares. Nick drops a leg, then drops another, then fakes the third to scuff Moxley instead! The fans cheer as Nick flexes, but Moxley scowls. Nick grins as Moxley stands, and Moxley steps outside? Nick taunts Moxley but Moxley paces. Moxley is trying to calm down so he doesn’t murder Nick in his hometown. Moxley steps back in, and he offers a handshake. Nick says okay, and he accepts the handshake.
But then Moxley reels Nick in! PILEDRIVER!! Nick sputters on the mat while the fans fire up! Moxley stands tall over Nick as Collision goes picture in picture.
Moxley paces, then he goes back to Nick to drag him up. Moxley TOSSES Nick out, then paces while he waits on the ring count. Moxley decides to go out after all, and he stalks Nick around the way. Moxley grabs a chair, brings it over, but Nick CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Moxley ROCKS Nick with a haymaker! Nick flounders, takes a seat, and Moxley gets space so he can run up and BOOT Nick down! Moxley refreshes the count, “apologizes” to the ref and mockingly pleads with him. Moxley then goes back out after Nick, drags him up, and brings him around to put in the ring. Moxley stands Nick up to CHOP again!
Nick snarls as he CHOPS in return! Moxley CHOPS, Nick CHOPS, but Moxley HEADBUTTS Nick down! Then cover, TWO! Nick shows some grit, but Moxley kneels on his back!

Nick endures this inverted Muda Lock, but he fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Moxley lets go quickly and paces while Nick clutches his foot. Nick crawls to a corner, but Moxley storms up to step on him! The ref counts, Moxley steps off at 4, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture.
Moxley gets in Nick’s face, but Nick SLAPS him! The fans fire up again, but Moxley storms back up to stomp Nick back down! The fans rally, the ref counts, but Moxley hauls Nick up! X-PLEX! Cover, TWO! Nick survives but Moxley clamps on again for the leglock, then the crossface! Moxley shifts around, ANGELITO STRETCH! The fans rally again but Moxley lets Nick go.

DEATH RIDER!! Cover, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (denies Nick Wayne a title opportunity)
The Maniac won out, but Nick certainly left a mark. Was this enough to surprise Moxley and perhaps even impress him? Is this a good sign for how Nick Wayne will fair in this year’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors?
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Kazuchika Okada.
Lexy Nair is with The Invisible Hand and The Rainmaker, and brings up that Callis promised Konosuke Takeshita a shot at the AEW International Championship at Double or Nothing if he and Okada got along at Dynasty. Now, given how that match went, is the deal still on? Callis says he looked back at the tape, and it is sad to say, maybe even embarrassing, that Okada & Takeshita did NOT follow the arrangement they discussed. Callis can get Okada out of this, there doesn’t have to be a title match. Okada shakes his head and says he is not going to back down. He wants this match! Okada knows he can beat Takeshita, because Okada is a champion! Unlike Takeshita!
Okada storms off, Callis follows, but will the NJPW World Television Champion prove Okada wrong?
PAC w/ Daniel Garcia VS Lio Rush!
The Death Riders keep on bringing the fight as now The Bastard battles “The Problem Child.” But will Pac rebound for falling short in the Casino Gauntlet? Or will Lio make this Pac’s Final Hour?
The bell rings and Pac paces while Lio mutters to himself, “It is him! It IS him! I told you it was him!” Lio is very Smeagle and Gollum right now as he’s in his own world. “You gotta dig real deep!” Pac tries to get Lio’s attention, but even Pac’s a bit unsettled. Lio goes on and on until Pac stomps him, and Lio stands right up! Pac scrambles back while the fans tell him he messed up! Lio wants a handshake but Garcia coaches Pac to be careful. Pac YANKS Lio at the corner, but Lio stops short! Lio runs back up, but into a SOBAT! Pac is still wary as Lio snarls and shrieks. Pac runs up, Lio dodges, redirects, then dodges Pac!

Lio writhes in pain and Garcia says yeah, don’t play those games! Pac rolls into the ring to let the count handle this. Lio drags himself up at 7 of 10 while Collision goes picture in picture.
The count is climbing, but Lio rolls in at 9.5. Pac shakes his head as he storms up on Lio, and he stomps Lio down! Pac CHOKES Lio, but the ref counts and Pac steps off at 4. Pac argues with the ref about how freaky Lio is being, but Lio rises up again! Lio grabs at Pac, but Pac DECKS Lio! Pac looks to the fans as if they know what to make of this. Pac goes after Lio in another corner, whips him corner to corner hard, and Lio tumbles right out of the ring! The ref checks on Lio but Lio’s still conscious. Lio writhes as the ring count climbs again, but he rises at 7 to drag himself in at 8. Pac drags Lio up, headlocks, and he grinds Lio down.
Lio endures as Pac holds on tight, and Collision goes to break.

Garcia protests from the apron, but that gets Lio’s attention! The fans chant for Lio to “EAT HIS FACE! EAT HIS FACE!” Garcia freaks out, and he flicks water at him?! Does Garcia think he can exorcise Lio’s demons? Pac GERMAN SUPLEXES Lio, but Lio’s right up!
Lio runs in, but into a SNAP GERMAN! Pac builds speed to LARIAT Lio inside-out! And then he clamps on the BRUTALIZER!! Lio grins, even as he PASSES OUT!! Pac wins!!
Winner: Pac, by submission
The Bastard won, but Lio sure creeped everyone out! Will anyone ever figure out what happened to the Man of the Hour? Will Pac just move on towards a golden opportunity and leave this in the past?
Six Man Tag: Brody King, Mascara Dorada & Mistico VS Ricky Gibson, KC Riff & Colt Rivera!
While their mutual amigo is back home in Mexico, preparing for Supercard of Honor, the King of Death will team with the King of the Ropes and the Talisman of CMLL! Will Brody, Dorada y Mistico hold down the fort for Bandido? Or could Gibson, Riff & Rivera shock the world?

Winners: Brody King, Mascara Dorada & Mistico, by pinfall
As if anything else was going to happen! Will Brody, Dorada y Mistico blaze a trail to the top of AEW in all divisions?
Kris & Shida regroup backstage.
They’re both feeling good from their win, and Lexy Nair steps in with congratulations. But she also brings up that someone requested this time to talk with them, and it is Mina Shirakawa. Mina steps in, and tells Stat sorry, but she’s specifically here for Shida. Mina tells Shida that uh duh, she knows Japanese, too! So Mina knows exactly what Shida said about Harley. AND a kendo stick was left behind in Toni Storm’s locker room! Mina isn’t sure what Shida is up top, but she does NOT trust her. Oh, is that so? Shida tells “Shirakawa-san” in Japanese that it must be nice to get this far just on looks! Mina is pissed but Kris keeps the peace.
Shida storms off, and Mina tells Kris to not trust Shida. Kris storms off, too, but could Mina have a point? Could Shida have taken out Toni Storm to clear room for herself at the top?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Thekla VS Alex Windsor!
The Toxic Spider took another shortcut to shortchange an opponent when she snuck one on Jamie Hayter at Dynasty. Iron Will Windsor wants to avenge her best mate, but will she make herself a double champion in the process? Or will Thekla take out two Brawling Birds in one week?
The introductions are made, the AEW belt is raised, and we see who survives this Collision!
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. Windsor runs up, Thekla dodges, and Thekla swaggers around. Windsor shrugs that off to try again, but Thekla dodges again. Thekla swaggers her way out of the ring, but Windsor pursues! The cat ‘n’ mouse game goes around the way, and Thekla attacks as Windsor slides in! Thekla whips, Windsor reverses, but Thekla slips around to shove Windsor, only for Windsor to RUN her over! The fans cheer as Windsor keeps after Thekla with a rain of fists! Windsor then stands Thekla up to CHOP against the ropes! Windsor whips Thekla to ropes, but Thekla bails out!
Thekla ducks a shot to ROCK Windsor, then she climbs up as the fans rally. Thekla leaps, but Windsor gets clear! Windsor runs up, and she LARIATS Thekla down!

Cover, TWO! Thekla survives but Windsor keeps on her. Thekla kicks and flails to make the ROPEBREAK, and Windsor lets go. Thekla bails out again, but Windsor goes to the apron. Thekla runs away, denying Windsor her aerial attack.
Windsor just changes course, kicks, but Thekla blocks! Thekla YANKS Windsor down, then steps back inside. Thekla runs up on Windsor to BOOT her to the floor! Windsor tumbles but Thekla grins as the fans duel. Thekla goes up the corner now, and she aims at Windsor for a SUPER DUPER CROSSBODY! Direct hit and down goes Windsor! Thekla grins again while Collision goes picture in picture.
Thekla taunts Windsor before she drags her up. Thekla then THROWS Windsor into railing! Windsor sputters and writhes but Thekla refreshes the ring count. Thekla then drags Windsor up, makes her take a seat, then climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, and Thekla goes all the way to TEN! Or maybe “zehn?” Either way, Thekla reels Windsor in, only for Windsor to RAM her into the railing! Windsor fires off fists, then climbs up to rain them down! Windsor definitely goes to TEN, then brings Thekla around to whip hard into the apron! Windsor CHOPS Thekla, but Thekla whips Windsor into barriers!
Windsor falls in a heap, and Thekla soaks up the cheers and jeers. The ref wants this back in the ring so Thekla leaves Windsor behind for the count. Windsor slowly rises up, and she rolls into the ring at 8. Thekla CLUBS Windsor down, steps on her face, but steps off as the ref counts. Thekla then drops onto Windsor for the CROSSFACE! Windsor endures, fights up and around, but Thekla lets go to CLUB Windsor. Windsor fires body shots in return and backs Thekla to a corner. Windsor runs up, but Thekla ROCKS her!

Thekla fires shots on Windsor, but Windsor blocks the whip again! Thekla stomps a foot, then whips Windsor, but Windsor reverses and LARIATS! Then Windsor get moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, redirects, and FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES!
The fans fire up while both are down. Windsor rises up, she has the legs, but Thekla kicks and kicks and kicks again! Windsor staggers, but she dodges to scoop and BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO! Thekla survives but Windsor stays focused. Windsor hauls Thekla up, clinches, but Thekla fights the lift! Thekla CLUBS Windsor, ROCKS her, but Windsor shakes it off with a smile. Thekla gets in Windsor’s face, then ROCKS her! Windsor walks it off, to then fire off a flurry! The fans cheer, but Thekla dodges one to SMACK Windsor again! But Windsor blocks the next to HEADBUTT!

The fans boo as Thekla hides her evidence! Thekla then runs up, CURB STOMP!! Cover, Thekla wins!
Winner: Thekla, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Another fight, another dirty tactic! But in the end, even Windsor fell into the Toxic Spider’s trap! Will anyone ever get wise to Thekla’s tricks? Or will AEW always be toxic?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, though kinda hard to follow that great Dynamite from last night. A lot of these matches felt like filler, but because it’s AEW, they even make filler go above and beyond. Pac VS Lio was actually the first real display of this “Problem Child” persona that I really liked. Lio got to show more personality, and seeing Pac & Garcia be afraid of Lio really helped sell the character. Great win for Pac, though, and maybe he goes for the TNT title next. Brody, Mistico y Dorada of course won their match, but again, they made the squash match a fun match. Them mentioning Bandido and Supercard of Honor was nice, it means they care about ROH on some level.
Very good opening promo from Cope, but of course FTR had to show up. RPG Vice attacking again was redundant, but The Bucks making the save was a nice change. Makes me think we’re getting an 8 Man Tag, FTRPG Vice VS Cope, Cage & The Bucks, and that somehow leads to the tag title match for Double or Nothing. Great tag match from The Bucks VS The Rascalz, and even a good move for The Dogs to go after those teams. I wonder if The Dogs and even The Rascalz get in on the tag match. Five, maybe even six teams, all fighting for the titles, that’d be awesome stuff for Double or Nothing, and a great way to give The Bucks their historic fourth reign.
Kris & Shida had a very good tag match and of course they won, but I like Mina accusing Shida of being whodunnit. Shida is certainly being two-faced, but who knows if she’ll be chosen as the one who took out Toni Storm. Great Six Man Tag from Conglomeration VS Lethal Twist, and of course The Conglomeration won. Great Continental Championship Eliminator, and great showing for Nick Wayne in his return to Dynamite. I still think he needs more to do with the ROH World TV title, but hey, they could use this to say Nick won some respect from Moxley. The story still feels like Moxley and Ospreay will run it back at Double or Nothing.
And as I figured from last night, Thekla was gonna cheat to win and keep the title. It was a great main event, but there might be something bigger in store for Double or Nothing, like a Triple Threat against both Brawling Birds.
My Score: 8.8/10
