Tonight’s AEW COLLISION was broadcast on TNT from the
Alliant Energy PowerHouse in Cedar Rapids, IA!
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!
Bang Bang Gang’s “Switchblade” Jay White (with Juice
Robinson)
vs.
Shane Taylor Promotions’ Shane Taylor (with ROH Pure
Wrestling Champion Lee Moriarty)!
Taylor and White locked up. Taylor bullied Jay White into
the turnbuckles, using his size advantage. Jay White applied
a side headlock and then chop blocked Taylor. Lee Moriarty
grabbed White’s ankle as the ref was distracted. Taylor
seized the opportunity to take down Jay White. Taylor
stomped on the sternum on Jay White. Shane Taylor hit a leg
drop on Switchblade.
“Shane Taylor knows how to use his size and bulk,” said Tony
Schiavone.
Jay White rallied back with a flurry of offense. Jay White
tried for a sunset flip; Taylor sat down for a splash, but
Jay White tumbled out of the way in the nick of time. Jay
White jabbed and chopped at Taylor in the corner. Jay White
followed up with a dragon screw leg whip.
“Nasty!” said Nigel.
Jay White spiked Taylor with a DDT for a near fall. Taylor
cracked White with a headbutt, followed up by a uranage for
a near fall.
“So close but there’s a lot left in Jay White,” said Tony
Schiavone.
Jay White planted Taylor with a flatliner. Jay White nailed
Shane with a side suplex, finding his second wind. Moriarty
jumped on the apron again, but this time Juice pulled him
down! Taylor stunned Jay with a running knee strike. Taylor
tweaked his knee in the process. Jay White scored with a
Blade Runner and pinned Shane Taylor!
“He earned that one!” said Tony Schiavone.
Jay White: “I’ve known Shane Taylor for years and he hits a
hell of a lot harder than I do. Hangman also hits a lot
harder than I do but maybe that’s why I get under his skin
so easily. Despite the year that you’ve had, Hangman, you’re
still hellbent on coming after me. Is that because despite
how tough and good Hangman is supposed to be, at every
little bend of our careers, I’ve always been ahead of you,
Hangman.
“You don’t have a leg to stand on, quite literally, Hangman.
I hope you’re rehabbing that knee. Hangman, you best not
miss, because one missed step with me will cost you just
like you know oh so well. But this is the year of
redemption. So I’m going to give you the change for
redemption. Hangman versus Switchblade at Full Gear!”
Lexy Nair was backstage with Ricochet, asking him about the
business card he received from MVP.
Lio Rush interrupted and said he received a business card
too, so Lio doesn’t want Ricochet to think he’s special.
Rush: “Don’t overlook me!”
Lexy Nair interviewed the Don Callis Family’s Kyle Fletcher
after a commercial break!
Fletcher: “I’m here to talk about this Wednesday! I called
out Will Ospreay and if he doesn’t show up, it’s because
he’s scared of me because I’m the protostar. And I want to
face someone so I can prove I’m not only the future, I’m the
now.”
Penelope Ford vs. Robyn Renegade!
Penelope stomped a mudhole into Robyn in the corner
turnbuckles. Penelope followed up with a handspring elbow
strike. Penelope splashed Robyn with a standing moonsault
for a near fall. Robyn rocked Ford with a face plant. Ford
fired back with a stunner for a two-count!
Penelope knocked down Robyn with a running lariat and then
grounded and pounded Renegade. Ford dropkicked Robyn in the
back. Penelope applied the Muta lock and forced Robyn to tap
out!
Jamie Hayter appeared on the big screen above the ramp!
Hayter: “Oy! November 6th, Dynamite, that’s your chance to
step across the ring from me! The ball is in your court,
baby. Will you be there, because you know I will be!”
MxM Collection—Mason Madden & Mansoor
vs.
The Outrunners—Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd!

didn’t budge. Truth posed in Mansoor’s face. Truth wiped out
Mansoor with a shoulder tackle.
Mason Madden tagged in and chopped Truth in the corner.
Johnny TV was watching the match backstage on a monitor.

teamed Mason with dropkicks. They threw Mansoor over the top
rope into the waiting arms of Mason Madden!

Truth kicked out at the two-count. The Outrunners came back
with Total Recall, their powerslam-neck breaker combo, and
won the match!
AEW World Trios Champion Wheeler Yuta had a sit-down
interview with Nigel McGuinness!
Wheeler: “I thought you of all people would understand.
What’s the matter, Joker? Are you mad that we killed the
Batman before you did? I gave him a warrior’s death. We took
him out because he doesn’t have the stomach for this. The
American Dragon you knew was long dead by the time I got
into the ring at WrestleDream. We had to do it for the
greater good.
“Do you think I take joy in any of the things I’m doing? No.
But I do them because I have to. Where would I be without
Moxley, Claudio, Pac, and Marina? We have no choice. We do
what we have to do. And if we’re willing to do that to the
people we love, what do you think we’re going to do to the
people we don’t? We do it for the greater good.”
Ricochet vs. Lio Rush (with Top Flight)!
Lio was very aggressive at the start of the match with
combination blows. Ricochet rocked Rush with a spinning boot
into the side of the face. Ricochet planted a running elbow
drop.
Ricochet stunned Lio with an area code kick. Ricochet
followed up with a knee strike. Rush rocketed out of the
ring with tremendous velocity, hitting a tope suicida on
Ricochet.

turnbuckles. Lio grabbed Ricochet and pulled him down.
Ricochet rallied back with a flying forearm, followed by a
shooting star press for a near fall on Lio Rush.
Lio blasted Ricochet with a stunner, but Ricochet landed a
thrust kick in response. Ricochet planted Lio with a Blue
Thunder Bomb, but Lio kicked out at the two-count!
“The Blue Thunder Bomb is the primary weapon of Takeshita!”
said Tony Schiavone.
Lio countered Vertigo, rolling up Ricochet for a two-count.
Lio drilled Ricochet with a poison rana, but it wasn’t
enough to vanquish Ricochet. Lio Rush grabbed a steel chair
but before he could use it, Ricochet kicked it into Rush’s
face! Ricochet cracked Rush with Ricochet’s version of the
Hidden Blade and pinned Lio Rush!
“It’s how he beat Nick Wayne, it’s how he beat Lio Rush, but
will it be how he beats Takeshita, if he gets to face
Takeshita?” asked Nigel.
Lexy Nair was backstage with Harley Cameron, who had her
face painted like a cat!
Harley had harsh words for Thunder Rosa. Thunder Rosa walked
onto the set and told Harley she had to teach her what the
face paint stood for, challenging Harley to a match next
week!
The Undisputed Kingdom were backstage with the Beast Mortos!
Matt Taven offered Beast some candy. Roddy said tonight they
were hitting the town and going trick ‘r treating!
Anna Jay vs. Viva Van!
Anna Jay slugged Viva Van with strikes and then hit her with
a snap mare. Anna Jay followed up with a snap suplex. Anna
Jay nailed Viva Van with a swinging neck breaker. One week
before she has a World Title shot against “The Glamour”
Mariah May, Anna Jay used a double ax handle to the head and
followed up with a shotgun dropkick to Viva Van.
Anna yanked Viva Van to the mat with an iconoclasm for a
near fall. Anna blasted Viva Van with a back stabber. Anna
Jay walloped Viva Van with the Widow’s Peak and picked up
the pinfall victory!
“Anna Jay just defeated a top world star and now sets her
sights on the AEW Women’s World Championship next week,”
said Tony Schiavone.
Lexy Nair was backstage with The Conglomeration’s Tomohiro
Ishii and Kyle O’Reilly!
Ishii had some strong words for ROH World Champion Chris
Jericho. Kyle said Orange Cassidy was pissed at Jon Moxley
and we’d hear from Orange himself next week.

LFI’s RUSH & Dralistico (with Jake “The Snake” Roberts & The
Beast Mortos)
vs.

“FTR could become the first team to win 50 different teams
with a win here tonight,” said Tony Schiavone.

between “Hangman” Adam Page and “Switchblade” Jay White for
Full Gear!

drop for a near fall on Dralistico. FTR used seamless tandem

Cash chopped around Rush, but Rush returned fire with a slap
to Cash’s face. Cash caught Rush in the chest with a running
lariat. FTR took down LFI with double German Suplexes. Rush

Nigel.
