**********
The Death Riders and the Paragon, with Daddy Magic, cut promos on each other for their six-man tag. Julia Hart and Jamie Hayter talked about their third match, while Komander talked about his match with Kyle Fletcher and hoping to win the TNT title so he could face his best friend, Hologram. The screen behind them glitched, and El Clon’s video aired and Hologram appeared to have a headache, and as it aired, Kyle Fletcher attacked Hologram, laying him out, delivering a second headache, I assume.
The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, & Claudio Castagnoli) (w/ Marina Shafir & Wheeler Yuta) vs. The Paragon (Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) & ‘Daddy Magic’ Matt Menard
Garcia and O’Reilly started the match, exchanging some fun mat wrestling, before O’Reilly tagged out to Menard. Menard demanded that Garcia face him, but Garcia tagged out to Castagnoli, who immediately hit a wheelbarrow suplex on Matt Menard. Moxley came in and hit a knee and then started chopping Menard. The Death Riders maintained control through the early portions of the match, beating on Menard and Kyle O’Reilly.
Moxley hit a half & half suplex and tagged out to Castagnoli. Garcia and O’Reilly exchanged gullitine choke attempts, and Garcia hit a twist and shout, but O’Reilly hung on and hit a brainbuster and tagged out to Roderick Strong, who ran wild, hitting a dropkick to Moxley on the floor, a back breaker across the guardrail on Castagnoli, a uranage into a backbreaker on Garcia, and an Olympic Slam on Moxley. Strong hit the Sick Kick on Moxley for a 2-count.
Garcia and Menard ended up in the ring together, and Menard hit a series of punches on Garcia but Garcia ran away and tagged out to Moxley. Moxley backed off from the firey Menard, but as Menard hit the ropes Garcia tripped him, and Moxley hit a curb stomp on Menard. Garcia tagged in, hit a Super Dragon style curb stomp for the pinfall finish.
Result: The Death Riders
–Brody King announced that he wanted revenge on the Don Callis Family and the Young Bucks for their assault on Kenny Omega, and he said that he had a plan – Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks vs. Kenny Omega & Brodido at Dynamite. That match is going to be so awesome.
The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta & Marina Shafir) vs. Rosario Grillo & Rachel Ellering
This was a quick squash with Shafir choking Ellering out with an inverted rear naked choke, apparently called Mother’s Milk. There was a production error, as the announcers pitched to an interview before the match, but they came back to the ring and this squash instead.
Result: The Death Riders
–Wheeler Yuta grabbed a mic and said that Kris Statlander made the wrong decision on Wednesday, and next Wednesday, she would face Yuta & Marina Shafir, while Statlander would team with Darby Allin. He also threatened to murder Darby Allin and drop his body on Everest. That is not allowed, Yuta.
–Hangman Adam Page, Samoa Joe, and Powerhouse Hobbs were backstage, and Hangman said that despite how many times the Death Riders have been beat back, they do not learn, and that since Shibata is out for awhile, Hangman would step up to take his place. Joe claimed that school was in session, and his new equestrian coach, Hangman, will run them down, and the new PE teacher, Hobbs would teach them a lesson in pain. Samoa Joe remains one of the best promos in wrestling.
The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster) vs. The Swirl (Blake Christian & Lee Johnson)
The Acclaimed, especially Bowens, was completely unwilling to work with Caster. This match had very little heat as the very good Blake Christian and Lee Johnson played heels to the utterly unlikable babyfaces. I hope there is a resolution to this that is actually better than what we are seeing here. Christian and Johnson got the non-existent heat on Caster
Cater pulled Christian from the ring and sent him crashing into the guardrail, which actually got a good reaction, and the fans chanted for Max, as he is apparently the best wrestler alive. Christian hit a flying kick on Caster and then over the ropes into the ring on Bowens. Jonhson did a monkey flip on Christian, sending him into a lariat on Caster.
Bowens tagged in, but was reluctant to fight, and wanted to target Caster instead, which led to Christian and Johnson hitting a series of incredible double team moves on Caster and Bowens, including a handspring kick on Bowens into a brainbuster by Johnson for a pinfall that Caster broke up. Jerry Lynn came down to ringside at some point to try and encourage them to work together, but Caster blind tagged in and Bowens was sent from the ring. Bowens hit the Mollywhop on Johnson as he was near the ropes, and Max Caster rolled up Johnson for the win.
Result: The Acclaim
The fans chanted for the them to scissor, and Bowens refused, but Caster seemed to be warming up for it.
Talk about making Blake Christian and Lee Johnson look like geeks, losing to these guys who couldn’t get along. Not a fan of this.
–Mother Wayne, Kip Sabian, and Nick Wayne were backstage. Wayne said that after his injury, the average human wouldn’t be able to walk again, but he was not average, and he would be Christian Cage’s biggest nightmare, and was always one step ahead.
–Tony Schiavone did an old school NWA style promotion for the upcoming shows in Florida, including with the old 4:3 video, announcing the big matches in the 4 upcoming shows. This was awesome. I want to believe they bought an old camera to make it look that way, though I imagine it was just filters. I still want to believe it though.
–A hype video aired for the upcoming AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship.
–TayJay were backstage with Lexy Nair, and Anna Jay and Tay Melo made it clear that they wanted those tag titles, and threw their hat in the ring to win those titles. Hopefully they actually announce the tournament soon, presuming there will be one. They promised to be the first women’s tag team champions.
The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) & Dalton Castle vs. Cowpoke Paul, Corey Sparks, & KM
The Outrunners sent Paul and Sparks to the floor, while Castle threw KM around the ring with east. Tony Schiavone claimed he wanted to call Nigel McGuinness a SOB, but he would let the Outrunners do it as they hit the SOB elbow. Dalton Castle hit the Bangarang for the win.
Result: The Outrunners & Dalton Castle
–Mark Briscoe claimed he was satisfied with finally beating MJF, and now he can get back to having fun with the Conglomeration, especially as Orange Cassidy came back, and that while they may be funny, they are not a joke, and they were coming for AEW gold. Great promo from Briscoe.
Komander (w/ Alex Abrahantes) vs. Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Championship
Fletcher shut down the quick offence of Komander with a bodyslam, which he needed, as Komander was relentless. Don Callis was noticeably absent, and Nigel McGuinness insisted he was busy recovering from the destruction of his painting at the hands of Orange Cassidy. Tony Schiavone claimed he was running in fear from the announcement that Kenny Omega was back next week. Komander hit a headscissors takedown on Fletcher, and a hard chop. Fletcher asked for more, so Komander hit a few chops, grabbed the arm, ran up the ropes, bounced around, and hit a hurricanrana.
Komander countered an attempt to lawn dart him into the guardrail with an armdrag, ran across the guardrail and went for a hurricanrana, but Fletcher caught him and powerbomed him on the apron twice as they went to the ad break. Fletcher beat on Komander around the ring so much that the fans started to cheer for Fletcher, and it seems like that match with Hangman Page might be turning him babyface slowly. This is not a bad thing.
The fans were wildly cheering for Fletcher as he chopped Komander and pointed at himself to cheers, and Komander to boos. As Komander ran across the top rope, flipped onto the other rope, and hit an armdrag, Tony Schiavone let us know that Hologram was injured by Kyle Fletcher and the match would not be happening next week on Dynamite. Fletcher hit a half & half suplex.
Fletcher went for a brainbuster to the floor or on the apron, but Komander hit a kick. Komander went for a headscissors to the floor, but Fletcher countered into a tombstone position, which caused some fans to scream in horror, which was great. Komander flipped out of the tombstone and hit a headscissors takedown onto the floor. When they came back into the ring, Fletcher managed to hit a Michinoku driver for a near fall. This match is fantastic.
Fletcher was sent to the floor, and Komander ran and hit a springboard moonsault to the floor on Fletcher. Komander then hit a springboard into a Canadian Destroyer in the ring, and a 450 splash for a 2-count. Komander ran across the ropes into a shooting star press, but Fletcher got the feet up, hit a lawn dart into the middle turnbuckle, finally hitting the move, and then a helluva kick in the corner before hitting a brainbuster for the win.
Result: Kyle Fletcher
This match was incredible. Kyle Fletcher having this kind of match shortly after his war at AEW All Out is astonishing. The level of work in this match was great, with Fletcher teasing and hinting at that lawn dart throughout the match, and finally hitting it before the finish, and Komander looked like an absolute star by the end, despite losing. Komander was booed for a short time, but by the end, this match was so awesome he won the crowd over and Fletcher was back to being the heel. Excellent match. Go out of your way to watch this.
–A recap of Fletcher injuring Hologram and defeating Komander aired, and transitioned to Fletcher cutting a promo, saying he was reestablishing dominance. Fletcher said that Hologram was scared of him, and he was going to be TNT Champion for a long time. Fletcher said that he wanted to put his title on the line, and wanted someone to step up to him, so he was offering an open challenge. Excellent promo. It was announced that Orange Cassidy stepped up, and would be facing Fletcher on Dynamite.
–Eddie Kingston and Hook came out and announced that the tag match between them and Big Bill & Bryan Keith was now a tornado tag.
Eddie Kingston & Hook vs. Big Bill & Bryan Keith
Bill sent Kingston crashing hard into the ring steps, while Keith hit a cannonball off the apron. Keith beat on Hook around ringside. When they came back from break, Keith hit a suplex on Hook, and they sent Kingston from the apron to the floor. As it was a tornado tag, they continually kept Kingston from the ring while attacking Hook. As they were beating on Hook, Schiavone announced that the 6th anniversary of Dynamite would be a 2.5 hour special episode.
Hook hit a suplex on Keith, and Kingston finally made it into the ring, chopping the heck out of Keith. Big Bill tried to chokeslam both men, but Hook and Kingston hit a double team back body drop on Bill, sending him crashing to the mat. They both covered Bill, and Bill shoved them off. Keith hit a suplex on Hook, but ate a lariat from Kingston. Bill hit a big boot and lariat on Kingston for a 2-count.
Bill went for a chokeslam on Kingston, but Kingstonh hit a dragon screw on Bill. Hook hit a suplex on Keith and hit the ropes, but Bill tripped Hook, allowing Keith to roll Hook up with the tights hooked for a 2-count. Kingston hit a Backfist to the Future on Keith, and Keith fell into Red Rum from Hook for the submission win.
Result: Eddie Kingston & Hook
–Austin Gunn & Juice Robinson talked about how they took The Young Bucks to the limit last week, despite losing. However, Jay White called them, and told them they needed some backup, and Ace Austin walked up, rejoining his Bullet Club brethren. This was the right call, I think. Both Austin Gunn and Ace Austin shook hands, said “Hi, I’m Austin,” at the same time, which was amusing.
Jamie Hayter vs. Julia Hart (w/ Skye Blue)
Hayter immediately started attacking fiercely, stomping Hart in the corner, and hitting forearms before throwing Hart across the ring. Hayter missed a running elbow in the corner, and Hart rolled to the floor. As the referee was distracted by Hart, Skye Blue hit a superkick on Hayter, allowing Hart to hit a DDT back in the ring for a 2-count.
When they came back from the break, Hart was distracted the referee again, but Hayter saw Blue coming this time and hit a snap suplex on the floor. Hayter than hit a Saito suplex on on Hart for a 2-count. Hayter picked up Hart in a fireman’s carry into a Samoan Drop, but Hart countered into a crucifix pinfall attempt. Hart locked on an the Tarantula, and floated into the ring through the middle ropes, but Hayer caught her in fireman’s carry and hit an Ushigoroshi. Hayter missed a lariat, and Hart leveled Hayter and hit a moonsault for a 2-count, but Hayter got her foot on the ropes.
As Hayter stood up, Hart locked on an octopus stretch. Hayter countered and powered Hart up into a tombstone piledriver for a 2-count. Hayter picked her up and hit the Hayterade lariat for the pinfall.
Result: Jamie Hayter
Solid main event match with Hart and Hayter here.
–Skye Blue and Julia Hart attacked Hayter after the match, but Queen Aminata ran down to the make the save. Hayter grabbed a mic and said that she was sick of them using their numbers to attack. Hayter said that the only way to solve this issue with the Triangle of Madness was three words: Blood & Guts. It looks like we’ll be having the first ever women’s Blood & Guts match in the near future.
Final Thoughts
There were a lot of squash matches on this episode of Collision, but the Fletcher/Komander match, and the main event more than made up for it. I give this show a thumbs up. Go out of your way to see Fletcher vs. Komander.
