7/10 AEW Collision Results – We are live from the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, as Kyle Fletcher & RPG Vice, accompanied by Don Callis and Lance Archer come to ring first. They’re followed by Paragon.
Don Callis Family (Kyle Fletcher, Rocky Romero, Trent Beretta) vs. Paragon (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, & Kyle O’Reilly)
Fletcher started the match running across the ring to knock Cole to the floor and start fighting with O’Reilly. O’Reilly hit a kitchen sink and tagged out to Cole, but Fletcher fled to the corner and tagged in Beretta. The fans chanted “We want Kyle!” loudly for both Kyle’s, which remains great. Strong and O’Reilly double teamed Beretta to the delight of the fans, before Cole tagged in and hit a dropkick to a seated Beretta.
Beretta was able to get away from Strong with help from Fletcher, and Fletcher took over, getting the heat on Strong for a bit. The heat continued as the Callis family isolated O’Reilly. Beretta got dumped to the floor by O’Reilly, and Strong tagged in and sent Beretta back to the floor and hit Fletcher with a lariat that sent him flying. Strong hit a crucifix into a diamond cutter and an Olympic slam on Beretta before hitting a series of running elbows and a boot for a 2-count.
Fletcher hit an enziguri as Strong hit the ropes and tagged out letting RPG Vice hit a flying knee into a Death Valley Driver for a 2-count. Cole tagged in after Fletcher missed a helluva kick in the corner, hitting a brainbuster into neckbreaker on Beretta. Cole challenged Fletcher to get into the ring so they could fight and they started exchanging strikes, with Fletcher hitting a half nelson suplex but Cole superkicked him at a corner charge and hit the Panama Sunrise for a 2-count. Fletcher hit Cole with a lariat and tagged back out to Beretta. O’Reilly saved Cole from a Jackal Driver, and Cole hit the boom for a 3-count.
Match Result: Paragon via pinfall
–Fletcher tried to attack Cole as he left, but Cole turned around holding the TNT title and stopped the attack. Cole asked him to fight, as Callis screamed “Don’t take the bait!” and Fletcher listened, content to wait until Saturday at All In.
–Jon Moxley was backstage after Dynamite with the Death Riders, saying that pro wrestling is the greatest sport in the world, and very few people have the will to do what it takes to be one. Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Gabe Kidd made it clear they were after the trios title, and Moxley ended with saying that if you wanted to make it as a wrestler, you needed to be All In, otherwise you were all out, implying that Hangman really doesn’t know what is coming for him.
–Technique from Taz returned for the first time in a long time, as he broke down how Mistico does an armbar, including the phrase on screen “Core Strength Jones” which was great. This was really good overall.
–The recapped the return of Scorpio Sky and his now public alliance with Top Flight and Christopher Daniels. He called his new alliance Sky Flight, and Daniels cut a promo about how all the titles are on the table for what they want, as the sky is no limit. I liked this a lot.
Mistico vs. The Beast Mortos
Mistico and Mortos had a great lucha match, and wasted no time in working fast in this one. Mistico hit a tope suicida, but Mortos no sold it, and Mistico tried again, this time dropping Mortos. Mistico took Mortos’ hand and ran up the ropes twisting into an armdrag. Mortos hit a series of hard strikes afterwards, and a powerslam that put a sudden stop to Mistico’s attempts to control the offence. Mortos continued the heat through the break, working over the knee of Mistico.
Mortos caught Mistico in a torture rack position, but Mistico shifted his weight and spun around Mortos into a headscissors takedown before hitting a springboard elbow for a 2-count. Mistico went for La Mistica, but Mortos slammed him face down before he could complete the spin. Mortos went for a powerbomb, but Mistico floated over into a sunset flip bomb, which was really cool.
Mortos picked up Mistico in a tombstone position and jumped backwards into a lung blower. Mortos and Mistico slightly botched a counter from a tilt-a-whirl, but recovered and hit a beautiful one. Mistico hit a superkick and a flipping DDT on Mortos. Mistico hit the ropes soon thereafter and hit La Mistica to a great reaction from the fans.
Match Result: Mistico via submission
–MJF appeared on the screen with the mask he stole from Mistico, saying that Mistico stood no chance of stopping MJF from beating Mark Briscoe, saying he was going to win within 3 seconds. MJF said that he would keep collecting Mistico’s masks until he took them all if Mistico managed to get into the Casino Gauntlet.
–Mark Briscoe was backstage, saying that he was coming to win the Casino Gauntlet. It wasn’t just about business though, but personal, because MJF did use Jay Briscoe’s name and disrespected his family, and it was no longer just about winning, but he is going to look his family in the eyes after the match, saying he wasn’t going to let MJF get away with what he said and did. Mark Briscoe continues to be one of the best characters on AEW TV here, with an incredible promo.
–Renee Paquette met Hangman Adam Page after Dynamite last night, talking about how he needs to talk about what happened, but not with Renee, and he walked into Swerve Strickland’s locker room. Ospreay immediately stood up to get between them, but Hangman asked for 2 minutes of Swerve’s time, and Ospreay left the room as Hangman thanked him for all he has done. Prince Nana said he was going to grab coffee and let them talk.
Swerve said that he knew what this was about, thinking Hangman wanted to ask for his help. Hangman said he was going into a suicide mission on Sunday, and he might not have the chance to talk after All In, so he sat down with Swerve. Hangman said that he had nothing to do with what the Bucks did at Dynasty, which Swerve believed. Hangman went on to say that what Swerve did to him has led to his son still having nightmares to this day, and that he hates him for that, but he regrets how far it all went.
Hangman said he needed to know if Swerve regretted what happened, and Swerve said that since he was champion, he realized that it was not worth what he did. Hangman said his family was going to be at All In before the show, but not during, and Swerve promised to avoid them, saying he hoped they enjoyed hanging out. Swerve said that he was planning to raise his kids in the house that Hangman burnt down, but maybe it was time to let go of the past after all. The segment ended with Swerve picking up the chain Hangman left on the floor, wrapping it around his fist, thinking about this apparent truce with Hangman Adam Page. This was an awesome segment.
–Jon Moxley came out as Nigel McGuinness and Tony Schiavone were discussing what just happened, and Moxley took a mic saying it made him sick seeing that crybaby stuff. Marina Shafir insulted Hangman, and Moxley said that there would be no apologies after what he does at All In, and Hangman had 2 days before Moxley ended him. This was awesome too.
FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) (w/ Stokley Hathaway) & The Patriarchy (Christian Cage & Nick Wayne) w/ Mother Wayne & Kip Sabian vs. The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum) & Jet Speed (Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey)
Bailey started the match beating up Nick Wayne, tagging out to Knight to continue the assault. Wayne fled from the ring after a 2-count. Christian attacked Knight, but ate a dropkick after two leap frogs from Knight. Nigel McGuinness claimed that Christian should adopt Kevin Knight as well, as it would help him become a better competitor, which made me laugh.
Dax Harwood tagged in and beat on Truth Magnum, but Magnum fired back out of the corner, hitting a headscissors before hitting a double team knee lift into a back suplex from Floyd for a 2-count. Kevin Knight tagged in, and Harwood drove him backwards into he corner, but it broke down into all 4 men being in the ring and brawling around ringside.
Harwood low bridged Knight as he hit the ropes going for a dive, and they went to the break as the referee tried to get control again. They came back from the break with Harwood locking Knight in a chinlock, but Knight escaped with a jaw breaker. Knight went for the tag, but Harwood cut him off, so Knight dodged a corner charge, but Wayne stopped the tag. Knight kicked Wayne in the face, flipped over him, and tagged out to Truth Magnum, and the Outrunners ran wild, hitting a double clothesline on Christian and Nick Wayne before hitting the SOB elbow.
Harwood and Christian pulled Magnum into the ring post, allowing Wayne to hit sliced bread for a 2-count. Christian tagged in and started choking Magnum on the ropes. Magnum hit a snap suplex on Wayne, but was shoved back into the corner by Harwood. Magnum fought out of the corner, but as he made the tag, the referee was distracted and missed tag, which let the heels continue to beat on Magnum, which got a massive amount of heat from the audience. Sometimes, the simple things just work, and this is one that always does in wrestling. Wheeler tried to stop Magnum a few minutes later, but Magnum leaped over Harwood as he dived, and tagged out to Bailey, who hit a series of kicks and a standing shooting star press on Harwood for a 2-count.
The fans were very displeased with the referee for that 2-count. Wheeler stopped Bailey from getting on the ropes and hitting Ultima Weapon, but Bailey dropped him and Wayne before hitting a slingshot moonsault to the floor, and then a shooting star press on Harwood for a 2-count as Christian broke it up.
All 8 men started exchanging big moves until FTR hit the Shatter Machine on The Outrunners. They tried to hit Bailey, but Knight speared Wheeler, and Bailey hit a sunset flip on Harwood for a nearfall that was so close the fans were infuriated. Christian got hit with a combo from The Outrunners while Bailey hit a spinning kick on Harwood before Knight hit the UFO splash on Harwood for the win. This was a giant win for Jet Speed that they needed going into the PPV.
Match Result: Jet Speed & The Outrunners
–Big Boom AJ was with Lexy Nair and called out the Don Callis family, and Big Justice and the Rizzler announced that he would teaming with The Conglomeration to face RPG Vice, Lance Archer, & Hechicero, but they were short once guy. Kyle O’Reilly popped in and told people he was still down for conglomerating and is the 4th man in the match.
–Stokley Hathaway was backstage, saying that he made the mistake of trusting Christian Cage for the last time, and that at All In, they would face the Outrunners and end their feud once and for all.
Kaysuyori Shibata vs. Gabe Kidd (w/ Marina Shafir)
Shibata and Kidd immediately started brawling in the middle of the ring with hard forearms, spilled to the floor, and continued to fight, as Shibata hit a huge helluva kick on Kidd that almost sent him into the front row as the teacher beats on the student. Must have felt like it did in the dojo. Kidd managed to plant Shibata in the corner, hitting a dropkick and posing like Shibata.
Kidd chopped Shibata, and Shibata invitd more strikes, firing up, but he was dropped by a chop. Shibata kicked out at 1. Kidd did some squats to mock his teacher, so Shibata hit a hard chop that almost dropped Kidd. Both men hit chops before Kidd hit a headbutt that dropped Shibata. Kidd screamed “You did this. You made me do this!” as he beat on Shibata in the corner, and Shibata started no selling the hard chops before turning Kidd around, chopping him in the throat, and hitting the corner dropkick.
Kidd hit a chop to the back of Shibata that was so loud, that the crowd screamed. Kidd sat down, challenging Shibata, and Shibata hit Kidd with a slap to the top of the head, before hitting a pump kick and a hard lariat that caused Kidd to flip backwards. Kidd hit a closed fist punch, but Shibata hit hard chops that made the crowd scream again, before hitting a kick and locking on a sleeper. Wheeler Yuta ran down to distract the referee and Kidd hit a low blow before piledrving Shibata.
Match Result: Gabe Kidd
–Kris Statlander came down to the ring as the Death Riders fled the ringside area, with Yuta eying her. Statlander joined the commentary booth for the next match. I liked how that tied together between the two segments, transitioning to the next match but keeping the story with Statlander and the Death Riders in mind.
Willow Nightingale, Mina Shirakawa, Thunder Rosa, & Queen Aminata vs. Megan Bayne (w/ Penelope Ford), Thekla, Julia Hart (w/ Skye Blue), & Athena (w/ Billie Starks)
Athena and Shirakawa started the match, with the home state hero, Athena getting a great reaction. Rosa tagged in after a bit to fight with Athena, anticipating their ROH Women’s World Championship match tomorrow night at ROH Supercard of Honor. Athena and Bayne ended up double teaming Rosa and Willow Nightingale, as Nigel McGuinness said that Athena’s title reign exceeded Bryan Danielson’s world title reign. I love McGuinness’ commitment to burying Danielson.
Bayne launched Athena through the ropes into a suicide dive on Nightingale. Bayne tagged in Thekla, who hit a snapmare and superkick on Rosa. The fans were chanting for Aminata and actually booed when Rosa tagged in Nightingale, which I did not expect, but the fans wanted to see Thekla and Aminata fight again. Athena tagged in and got the heat on Nightingale in the corner. Athena hit a running meteora on Nightingale.
Hart tagged in and did the tarantula on Nightingale and attempted to float through the ropes, but Nightingale caught her and hit a Death Valley Driver. Nightingale tagged out to Aminata, to a great reaction, so props to the agents for giving her the hot tag here, or the wrestlers knowing to wait it out to tag her in. Thekla ducked under a clothesline and hit a pump kick on the apron. Aminata hit a headbutt on Thekla before hitting a twist and shout that Thekla sold like death.
Bayne came in and faced off with Aminata, and Bayne hit a falcon arrow. Bayne hit the ropes, but Nightingale came out of nowhere and hit a pounce that sent Bayne to the floor. Athena flew off the top rope with the O-Face out of nowhere, and Mina Shirakawa flew off the top rope onto Bayne on the floor. Hart hit a moonsault on Nightingale, but Shirakawa made the save, and she signaled to Nightingale to hit stereo top rope moves, but they were cut off by Hart and Thekla.
Hart and Thekla both hit suplexes but stayed in the tree of woe on opposite side of the ring. Thekla did her crab walk thing, and Aminata pulled Thekla from the ring, but Bayne leveled Aminata. Shirakawa hit a tornado DDT on the floor on Bayne while Athena and Rosa both clotheslined each other and went down. Hart went for an octopus stretch, but Nightingale fought out and hit the Babe with the Powerbomb for the pinfall.
Match Result: Willow Nightingale, Mina Shirakawa, Thunder Rosa, & Queen Aminata
–The heels started beating down the babyfaces, but Tay Melo & Anna Jay ran down to make the save. Penelope Ford got involved, as did Statlander, and the women in the Casino Gauntlet all started fighting as the show went off the air.
