CONTAINS SPOILERS
Tonight’s AEW COLLISION: Winter Is Coming was broadcast on
TNT from the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, MO!
Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness were the broadcast team
for tonight’s event.
It’s Saturday night and you know what that means! This is
for the Sickos!
The show kicked off with footage from last Wednesday after
Dynamite, with Will Ospreay approaching Darby Allin
backstage!
Will: “Darby! Thanks for coming out there to save me, I
appreciate it very much!”
Darby: “I got this feeling, man. This same feeling when
Danielson and Chuck Taylor got taken out. Something is going
to happen again. What are we going to do about it? Let’s go
find these guys and put an end to this!”
Will: “Easy tiger.”
Darby: “Something is going to happen if we don’t do anything
about it.”
Will: “I understand that, but can’t you see I’ve got things
going on right now! I lost at Wrestledream, and I lost at
Full Gear! That’s two back to back losses and that doesn’t
happen to me very often. I’ve got to regain my momentum and
that means going through every single person in this
tournament, including you lad.”
Darby: “I don’t care about your personal problems. This is
bigger than you. This is bigger than me. This is about AEW.
Next year there might not be a Continental Classic unless we
do something about it. Can’t you see they’re going to keep
chipping away at AEW, everything that makes this company
what it is? And what are you doing, Will?”
Will: “What I’m doing is I’m trying to win this tournament!
I need that momentum back! I can’t just drop everything. So
I’ll tell you this as someone who respects you, I need this
more than anything. But after this is done, knock on my
door. And if you need someone in the foxhole with you, I’m
game. I’ll see you next week.”
NJPW Dynasty International Women’s Cup Qualifier Final!
Jamie Hayter vs. Willow Nightingale!
The fans were divided and there was dueling chants. Jamie
applied a side headlock. Jamie went for a shoulder tackle,
but Willow didn’t budge. Willow wiped out Hayter with a
shoulder tackle of her own.
Both wrestlers slugged it out like a hockey fight broke out
in the ring. Hayter drilled Willow with a DDT on the apron.
The arena lights went out momentarily. The momentary
distraction allowed Willow to regain the upper hand with a
senton off the apron to Hayter.
Hayter hit a neck breaker and then a running Hayterade for a
near fall on Willow. Each woman pump kicked the other,
knocking one another down. Willow dropped down with a
torture rack. Willow followed up with a moonsault, but Jamie
kicked out at the two-count. Jamie was sent flying from a
pounce by Willow.
Jamie blasted Willow with a back breaker across the knee.
Willow retaliated with her power bomb and pinned Jamie,
advancing to the Tokyo Dome!
After the match the arena lights turned off. When the lights
came back on, Julia Hart appeared in the ring. Julia spiked
Hayter with a DDT and then left her target—Hayter—alone in
the ring, writhing in pain.

added Nigel.
