Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Collision in Hartford, CT:
Match 1: Buddy Matthews vs. Andrade El Idolo in a Ladder Match. The only way to win is climb the ladder and retrieve Andrade’s mask hanging above the ring
Result: Andrade El Idolo wins by retrieving the mask.
Match 2: Darby Allin vs. TBA. After commercial, TBA is revealed to be Minoru Suzuki (New Japan Pro Wrestling)
Result: Darby Allin beat Minoru Suzuki
Toni Storm promo. She defends the AEW Women’s Championship Wednesday on Dynamite against Hikaru Shida.
Match 3: ROH TV Champion Samoa Joe vs. Gravity in a NON-TITLE match
Result: Samoa Joe beat Gravity. Squash.
CM Punk interviewed in the ring. Initial reaction mixed as usual, but more negative than positive. Not by much, I’d say 60-40 negative. He reveals his bag has “his” AEW World Championship belt and he spray paints an “X” on it which represents Punk, he’s back to being straight-edge and he is the real champion because he was never pinned or submitted for the title. Ricky Starks then comes out. They agree to a match next week for Punk’s version of the title, with wrestling legend Ricky Steamboat as guest referee.
Match 4: Gunn Club & Juice Robinson vs. El Hijo Del Vikingo, Action Andretti & Darius Martin
Result: Gunn Club & Juice Robinson beat El Hijo Del Vikingo, Action Andretti & Darius Martin. Colten Gunn pinned Martin after 3:10 To Yuma.
Match 5: Kiera Hogan vs. Mercedes Martinez
Result: Mercedes Martinez beat Kiera Hogan by submission
Main Event: AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR vs. MJF & Adam Cole for the titles. TV Time Remaining, which is about 25 minutes at the start
Result: AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR beat MJF & Adam Cole to retain the titles. Cash Wheeler pinned MJF.
Added to next week: AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander vs. Mercedes Martinez for the title.
Another good show this week as Collision has established itself as a solid second program separate from Dynamite. Still some issues with commercials and timing that need to be worked on as well as women’s booking. The ladder match is a must-see.
End Show.
