*************************
It’s Saturday Night and you know what that means. Time for a little Maximum Carnage as Collision comes from you from Phoenix, AZ.
We were welcomed by the usual Collision team of Tony Schiavone & Nigel McGuinness as our opening contest was set to kick us off.
Andrade el Idolo (w/ Don Callis) vs. Angelico
Andrade got things going as he struck Angelico with an elbow to the face of Angelico, as he then shelled him with a running corner Meteora. Andrade pulled up Angelico before the three count, as it was clear he wanted to dish out further punishment.
Andrade teased doing a Figure Four, but stopped as he then chopped Angelico across the chest. He then tried for the Three Amigos, but Angelico escaped on the second suplex and hit Andrade with a kick to the face. Andrade backed Angelico into the corner and hit another hard chop, as well as a vicious elbow to the face. Angelico’s kick to keep Andrade at bay was met with a gamengiri from Andrade, which allowed for a superplex from the top. This was the first of the the Three Amigos, which Andrade made no mistake on. He again pulled Angelico off the pin attempt. A small attempt of a comeback from Angelico was easily snuffed out by a patented spinning elbow to the face of by Angelico. This match came to the end after Andrade hit his finishing DDT, which he called “The DM”.
Andrade def. Angelico via pinfall
A solid showcase for Andrade and it’s nice to see him back in action here in AEW. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for him especially as part of the Don Callis Family.

– Lexy Nair was backstage with AEW’s newest signings, The Rascalz. Myron Reed, Desmond Xavier, and Zachary Wentz (though with no Trey Miguel) emerged from a smoky room and boasted about being one of the best factions in pro wrestling for nearly a decade. The trio said that they didn’t come to take part, they came to take over. “Smoke ’em, if you got ’em, and we got ’em all…” said Wentz and Xavier.
Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) vs. Eddie Kingston & Ortiz
Ortiz and Gibson got this tag match started with a little bit of chain wrestling. Drake blind tagged in, but couldn’t slow Ortiz down as he got hit with a gamengiri kick. Gibson was taken out on the outside by a suicide dive from Ortiz. Back in the ring, Ortiz slammed into Drake with a crossbody. Kingston tagged in as he and Ortiz then hit a double-team suplex on Drake.
Kingston locked in Drake in a camel clutch as Ortiz paced across the ropes before he struck with a dropkick on Drake. The GYV managed to turn things around as Kingston was struck down with a leg lariat by Gibson. More tandem offense from Gibson and Drake kept Kingston grounted for a bit, at least until a lariat from the wily veteran from Yonkers flattened Drake. Ortiz entered on a tag, but the GYV were in firm control as Drake flew through the ropes with a dive to Ortiz while he was being held up by Gibson outside the ring. This took us to the PIP break.
