Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Collision in Greenville, SC:
AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR beat Big Bill & Brian Cage to retain the titles. FTR pinned Cage after Big Rig. Afterwards, they challenged The Young Bucks to a match at All In England.
AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander beat Mercedes Martinez to retain the title. Diamante then returned for a post-match beatdown with Martinez on Statlander until Willow Nightingale made the save.
Samoa Joe beat Serpentico. Instant squash. Afterwards, he demands a rematch with CM Punk at All In.
Tony Schiavone interviews The Acclaimed. Sounds like Billy Gunn is done as in retired.
AEW Trios Champions House Of Black beat Action Andretti, Darius Martin & Lee Johnson to retain the titles. Malakai Black pinned Martin after a spinning head kick. House Rules returned for this match, for their stip the challengers chose to have Julia Hart banned from ringside. Afterwards, it is announced they will defend the titles next week against CM Punk & FTR.

Christian Cage promo.
Jay White beat Metalik.
CM Punk beat Ricky Starks to retain the “real AEW World Championship”. Ricky Steamboat was special referee. Jim Ross returned to commentary for this match after a month-long absence for health reasons.
I missed the live broadcast due to scheduling conflicts so no comments or thoughts on what happened. Apparently the many title matches was to counterprogram against WWE SummerSlam (which I also did not watch live).
Added to Wednesday on Dynamite: NEW AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida vs. Anna Jay for the title.
Next week: House Of Black-Punk/FTR for the Trios Titles, Statlander & Nightingale vs. Martinez & Diamante and The Acclaimed vs. TBA.
This is the last Collision recap for now due to a pause in site activity this month for planned vacations. I may be back in time for the 8/26 episode but more likely it will be the 9/2 episode.
