AEW Collision Results – September 12 – The show opened with a memorial graphic honoring Andy “The Butcher” Williams before going to a live shot inside the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. A wreath and guitar were positioned in the center of the ring in Williams’ memory as Tony Schiavone welcomed the audience and asked fans in attendance to stand for a ten-bell salute.
Following the ten-bell salute, a video featured comments from Brody King, Colt Cabana, Justin Roberts, Penelope Ford, Kip Sabian, and others, who each spoke about the kind and gentle nature of Williams.
The broadcast then transitioned to the commentary team of Nigel McGuinness, Paul Wight, and Tony Schiavone, who remembered Williams as a great friend who inspired others to be better people through simple conversation. The team then previewed the card for the evening, announcing the Butcher Battle Royale, an eight-man tag team match, The Lethal Twist versus The Conglomeration, and the opening contest featuring Jon Moxley taking on “Speedball” Mike Bailey.
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey
The bell rang to a methodical opening, with Jon Moxley and Mike Bailey engaging in a technical exchange. Bailey used a waistlock takeover, which Moxley countered into his own waistlock before Bailey transitioned into a side headlock to bring the sequence to a stalemate. Bailey offered a fistbump, but Moxley declined and locked in a hammerlock.
A wristlock battle ensued until Bailey took Moxley down with a single-leg sweep. Moxley forced a break against the ropes, then turned the momentum to slam Bailey for an early pinfall attempt. Moxley controlled Bailey on the mat and targeted his hands with joint manipulation, stretching his fingers before transitioning from a leg-lock headscissors into a chinlock. Moxley whipped Bailey into the turnbuckles, but Bailey capitalized by leaping off the ropes with a missile dropkick. Bailey followed up with a series of kicks, though Moxley dodged a standing shooting star press attempt.
Moxley dumped Bailey to the outside, but Bailey responded by targeting Moxley’s knee with kicks and delivering a dragon screw. Bailey landed an apron kick, then vaulted off the springboard with a tornillo as the match headed into the commercial break.
Back from the break, the broadcast noted ten minutes had elapsed with ten remaining in the time limit. Both competitors were down following a suplex from Moxley. Once back to their feet, they traded heavy strikes. Bailey landed roundhouse kicks to Moxley’s leg and connected with a heel kick, leaving both men dazed. Bailey continued his kicking attack, but Moxley answered with knee strikes to the midsection and applied the bulldog choke. Bailey countered into a lateral press for a near-fall, then hit another dragon screw and a standing moonsault knee press.
Bailey attempted a submission, but Moxley caught him in a rear-naked choke before transitioning into an armbar. Unable to fully extend the hold, Moxley was caught in another pinfall attempt by Bailey for a two-count. Moxley blocked a follow-up cover and retreated to the apron, where Bailey executed a dragon screw through the ropes, a sweep, and a moonsault knee press directly onto the apron edge with five minutes remaining.
Returning to the ring, Bailey missed a moonsault, but landed a kick to the head and rolled Moxley into a backslide for a visual three-count that yielded a close two-count. Moxley evaded a kick, landed a Mox Cutter, and tried for a Paradigm Shift, but his injured leg gave out.
Moxley missed a charge into the corner, allowing Bailey to strike him in the head for another close pinfall. Bailey then scaled the turnbuckles and connected with a shooting star press, but Moxley kicked out at two. Bailey immediately locked in a kneebar, but Moxley reached the bottom rope to break the hold. With under three minutes remaining, Moxley executed a Paradigm Shift, but Bailey popped back up and rolled Moxley into a stacked pin for a near-fall. Moxley broke free, landed an Architect’s Curb Stomp, and followed up with the Death Rider DDT to secure the pinfall victory.
