********************
– We got right into things as Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness welcomed us to tonight’s live edition of Collision. Tommaso Ciampa made his way down to the ring, here to join Nigel and Tony on commentary. As Ciampa walked down, we went backstage to the Conglomeration with Konosuke Takeshita.
– Takeshita thanked the Conglomeration for having his back as he promised that things between him and the Don Callis Family were far from done. Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O’Reilly headed out for our opening match, but not before O.C. handed Takeshita his own JanSport bag for his AEW International Championship.
AEW World Trios Championship: The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong) vs. The Don Callis Family (Rocky Romero, Lance Archer, Trent Beretta)
Strong kicked it off as he hit consecutive backbreakers on Beretta as Cassidy tagged in and faced off with Romero. O’Reilly stepped in as he and Strong showed some undisputed teamwork against Romero. Cassidy then leapt off the top rope for a “dangerous” elbow on a prone Romero. Cassidy tried to stick his hands in his pockets, but Romero stopped him and then took down Cassidy with a hurricanrana. Romero then took time to do his Azucar taunt to the camera as Cassidy finally put the hands in the pocket. No-hands armdrag by Cassidy, followed by the dropkick on Romero. O.C. then mocked Romero’s taunt as Beretta tagged in and punched away at Cassidy.
With Cassidy isolated in the D.C.F. corner, Romero tagged in and hit the running lariat on a stunned O.C. Archer tried to get a hold of Cassidy, but Romero hit his partner by accident thanks to a well-timed dodge. Cassidy ran around the ring and avoided Archer as O’Reilly got the tag. O’Reilly used his fast strikes to ground Archer as he sent him over the top rope. The goozle by Archer, but O’Reilly swept his legs to get away from the grip of the Murderhawk Monster. O’Reilly hit Archer with a knee from the apron, but a shoulder tackle by the massive Archer took him down. Chokeslam on the apron to Cassidy by Archer, followed a grab of Strong as he tossed him into the barricade. This was our cue to step aside for the break.
