*********************************
It’s Sunday night and you know what that means. We didn’t waste any time as we got our opening match started for the second half of Collision.
Orange Cassidy & Roderick Strong vs. The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal & Lee Johnson) (w/ Blake Christian)
Lethal put Cassidy’s jacket on Johnson prior to the match after it was thrown aside as he and Strong got the match going.
Lethal did his Ric Flair strut to taunt Strong before the two got in a bit of chain wrestling going early on in this match. On commentary, Tony Schiavone mentioned the passing of Dennis Condry and wished his family condolences. Strong threw Lethal to his team’s corner and Cassidy tagged in. Strong grabbed Cassidy and threw him into a prone Lethal in the corner. As Strong held Lethal in place, Cassidy got on the top rope and then decided to hit a lackadaisical elbow.
Lethal tagged in Johnson as the two hit a nice double team move on Cassidy. Meanwhile, Cassidy attempted a Beach Break but Johnson countered it. The two exchanged standing switches for a bit until Cassidy escaped a full nelson by putting his hands in his pockets. In true Cassidy fashion, Orange hit his signature hands-in-pocket dropkick on Johnson. When he tried to do the same on Lethal, he was caught instead. Strong got clotheslined outside by Lethal, as Johnson intercepted Cassidy’s attempted dive with a hard lariat. Outside the ring, Blake Christian was now sporting Cassidy’s Canadian tuxedo. In the ring, Johnson dropped Cassidy with a vertical suplex for a two-count as we went to a break.
