Result: AEW International Champion Jon Moxley beat Action Andretti by submission to retain the title.

Match 2: AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander vs. TBA for the title. TBA is Robyn Renegade.

Eddie Kingston & Claudio Castagnoli interviewed. Kingston says he’ll defend the NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship vs. Castagnoli on 9/20. (UPDATE: The match will also be for Castagnoli’s ROH World Championship, a double title match)

Match 2: Juice Robinson & Gunn Club vs. Dios Del Inframundo, Aerostar & Gravity. This was to have been an 8-man tag with Metalik & Jay White but White was a last-minute removal from tonight due to personal reasons. Metalik was also removed as a result
Result: Juice Robinson & Gunn Club beat Dios Del Inframundo, Aerostar & Gravity. Robinson pinned ?. Glorified squash.

CJ Perry promo. She wants to be Lana, the coldest manager in wrestling, again.

Dark Order promo.

The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn promo.

Match 3: Rey Fenix vs. Angelico
Result: Rey Fenix beat Angelico

FTR promo. Yet another open challenge for titles.

Match 4: World Title Eliminator Tournament Semifinals: Roderick Strong vs. Darby Allin
Result: Roderick Strong beat Darby Allin

Powerhouse Hobbs promo.

Keith Lee interviewed. Sounds like he’ll be on Collision more now.

Bryan Danielson interviewed. He teases this next year maybe being the last of his career and asked to face New Japan’s Zack Sabre Jr. on 10/1 before Ricky Starks interrupts. Danielson tries to recruit Starks into BCC but Starks & Big Bill beat down Danielson and Moxley when he tried to make the save.

Added to Dynamite Wednesday: Adam Page vs. Brian Cage and AEW International Champion Jon Moxley vs. Big Bill for the title.

Next week: FTR vs. Iron Savages for the AEW Tag Team Championship.

Made official for WrestleDream on 10/1 in Seattle, WA: Bryan Danielson vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

Main Event: World Title Eliminator Tournament Semifinals: Samoa Joe vs. Penta El Zero M
Result: Samoa Joe beat Penta El Zero M by submission. As a result, Joe will face Roderick Strong on Wednesday with the winner facing MJF for the AEW World Championship on 9/20.

A slightly above average episode overall and my least favorite Collision so far, but not a bad show by any means. Think of it more as a reset to start the post-CM Punk era of the program, so give it a few more weeks to see what will happen. Danielson-Starks does look like it’ll be the hot program for now.

End Show.

AEW Dynamite 9/6/23 Results

Here are the LIVE quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Indianapolis, IN:

Orange Cassidy comes out first. This was a last-minute add to the show (about 90 minutes before start). He says no time off despite what the bosses say. As he leaves, out comes the man who beat him Sunday for the AEW International Championship…
Match 1: AEW International Champion Jon Moxley vs. AR Fox for the title
Result: AEW International Champion Jon Moxley beat AR Fox to retain the title.
(Apparently Cassidy was a last-minute add to the lineup and replacing an announced Adam Cole Speaks spot)

Christian Cage tries to recruit Nick Wayne backstage as Fox & Darby Allin watch from the ring.

Match 2: AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander vs. Emi Sakura for the title
Result: AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander beat Emi Sakura to retain the title.

Match 3: Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara vs. Aussie Open (Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher). Don Callis on commentary.
Result: Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara beat Aussie Open. Jericho pinned Fletcher after Judas Effect. Jericho & Guevara argued and shoved each other afterwards until security broke it up. Quite a bit of friendly fire.

Ricky Starks promo.

Bryan Danielson will speak Saturday on Collision.

Callis interviewed. He will reveal Konosuke Takeshita’s next “target” next week.

MJF comes out. Sama Joe soon joined him. Long but hot promo segment that teased a potential MJF-Joe AEW World Championship match on 9/20 if Joe wins the Eliminator Tournament to get the title shot. Joe beat down MJF at the end. MJF tried to fight back but Joe beat him down again and teased a muscle buster before Adam Cole made the save. MJF claimed he couldn’t feel his left arm.
As they took MJF to the back Roderick Strong came out for his match and confronted Cole on the entrance ramp.

Match 4: World Title Eliminator Tournament: Roderick Strong vs. Trent Beretta
Result: Roderick Strong beat Trent Beretta

Toni Storm interviewed. Renee Paquette says there will be a 4-way next week with the winner facing Saraya for the AEW Women’s Championship on 9/20. Storm tries to throw another shoe at Renee on the way out but Renee dodged again.

Friday on Rampage: World Title Eliminator Tournament matches-Penta El Zero M vs. Jay Lethal & Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy. Winners face off Saturday on Collision along with Strong vs. Darby Allin or NIck Wayne.

Adam Page interviewed. Swerve Strickland soon interrupts and buries Page, claiming Page has gotten too comfortable in his spot and taking a back seat to The Elite. Strickland tries to goad Page into a challenge for his spot in the hierarchy but Page just brushes him off until Strickland tries to insult Page’s family. Page snaps but Brian Cage sneaks in for the beatdown.

Also Friday on Rampage: The Young Bucks vs. Angelo Parker & Matt Menard.

Also Saturday on Collision: Bullet Club Gold vs. TBA, Saraya Speaks (with Ruby Soho) and The Acclaimed Speaks.

Next week: Tournament Finals and Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, Nyla Rose & Toni Storm in a 4-way for a shot at AEW Women’s Champion Saraya on 9/20.

Main Event: World Title Eliminator Tournament: Darby Allin vs. Nick Wayne
Result: Darby Allin beat Nick Wayne by ref stoppage. As a result, Allin will face Roderick Strong in the Semifinals Saturday on Collision. Right before the last commercial Christian Cage & Luchasaurus came out to join commentary.

While not as much All Out fallout as I hoped for, the show got the quick NYC build off to a good start and the matches were all above average or better. The MJF promo segment ran too long but as usual is must-see. Most of the show is at least worth watching.

Finally, announced during the show was that the Full Gear PPV will be on 11/18 at The Forum in Los Angeles.

AEW Collision 8/5/23 Results

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.

QTV.

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.

Injury Report: Danielson Not All In Or All Out

In updates on injured AEW star Bryan Danielson, reports coming out today plus comments by Nigel McGuinness on the newest episode of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast that released yesterday, it confirms a worst-case: Danielson is not going to be back in time for the England debut from his broken wrist/arm. McGuinness cut an impromptu promo of sorts for a potential England match on the podcast, but Danielson had surgery on 7/3 and was told afterwards best-case for a return was 3 months, maybe 1-2 weeks sooner. So no All In England, no All Out, and doubtful for New York City on 9/20.

More as it becomes available. You can listen to AEW Unrestricted for free on all major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify and more and a video version will be available Monday on YouTube and TNT’s website/app.

AEW Dynamite 8/3/23 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s Episode 200 of AEW Dynamite in Tampa, FL:

Match 1: Chris Jericho & Konosuke Takeshita vs. Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara
Result: Chris Jericho & Konosuke Takeshita beat Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara. Jericho pinned Garcia after a behind-the-back baseball bat cheap shot from Don Callis.

Matt Menard confronts Jericho backstage. Mandatory JAS meeting next week and Jericho is to be there.

Jack Perry-Jerry Lynn face-off. But Lynn backs off due to claiming it would be “child abuse” and he wouldn’t be medically cleared to compete anyway, so he brings out fellow ECW legend Rob Van Dam in his place. Perry bailed, then tried to come back with a cheap shot with a chair but it was avoided and Perry bailed into the crowd, even teasing using a girl in the front row as a shield.

Match 2: Jon Moxley vs. Trent Beretta & Penta El Zero M in a 3-way Anything Goes match
Result: Trent Beretta beat Jon Moxley & Penta El Zero M in a 3-way by pinning Penta. Afterwards, BCC & Best Friends brawled and Chuck Taylor challenged BCC to a parking lot fight at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville Friday on Rampage.

Van Dam challenges Perry to a match for the FTW Title for next week.

MJF comes out. He plays up to the crowd then calls out Adam Cole. This all builds up to MJF giving Cole an AEW World Championship match and it will be the main event of All In London. It will be a PPV via cable/satellite providers and Bleacher Report in the US and FITE elsewhere on 8/27 at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT.

Match 3: The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega vs. Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh
Result: The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega beat Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh. Omega pinned Lethal after One Winged Angel. The end came as Sonjay Dutt, Karen Jarrett, Brandon Cutler, The Hardys & Adam Page all got involved.

Swerve Strickland & AR Fox promo. This leads into a video they made where they visit Buddy Wayne’s wrestling school (a ring in a garage) and beat down Nick Wayne, then they use Wayne’s cell phone to call Darby Allin and threaten him over Allin not calling Fox when he signed to AEW. Strickland says it’s just the beginning.

Match 4: ROH World Tag Team Champions Aussie Open vs. El Hijo Del Vikingo & Komander for the titles
Result: ROH World Tag Team Champions Aussie Open beat El Hijo Del Vikingo & Komander to retain the titles. Kyle Fletcher pinned Komander after Corealis.

Main Event: AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm vs. Hikaru Shida for the title
Result: Hikaru Shida beat AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm to become THE NEW AEW WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPION! Ruby Soho & Saraya interference throughout, in the end it backfired when they threw Shida’s Singapore Cane in. Storm used the spray paint can afterwards to blind Shida, but couldn’t get 3 with Storm Zero. A small package got Shida the 3 count and the title.

Overall, to me it was another Dynamite that happened, a totally average show. Could have been much better but bad cut-away timing and editing/timing weighed it down. I have been enjoying Collision more lately, it seems to be more of what I like. There was nothing really bad tonight, but nothing really great either.

Friday on Rampage: Parking Lot Fight at Daily’s Place, Anna Jay vs. Skye Blue, Swerve Strickland & AR Fox vs. TBA and Keith Lee & The Hardys vs. The Butcher, The Blade & Kip Sabian.

BREAKING: The Elite Remain All Elite (Updated)

In huge contract news, AEW has announced that The Elite-The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and Adam Page-have all signed contract extensions with AEW. Terms were not disclosed but they are “long-term” and “multi-year” deals. The promotion put out a press release confirming the deals, and all spoke to Sports Illustrated about the new contracts.

The Bucks had recently been rumored to be considering a jump to WWE once their current contracts were up but decided to stay put. They along with Omega are also Executive Vice Presidents in AEW.

UPDATE: There are now reports that Dark Order, or at least most of their current members, have also signed extensions with AEW. Evil Uno announced this on Ywitter while joking about them not getting a press release. Which ones signed new deals, though, is not yet clear.

AEW Collision 7/29/23 Results

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.
