‘Timeless’ Toni Storm character returns on AEW Collision

Posted on by Matt Boone

“Timeless” Toni Storm is back.

The popular Golden Age Hollywood actress character for the women’s wrestling star re-emerged from the skin of the star-struck, clueless rookie during her advertised face-to-face segment with AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May on Saturday’s Collision.

The segment was done to promote their title match at next month’s Grand Slam Australia.

Storm stood in the ring with May and continued her happy-to-be-here, aw shucks persona while “The Glamour” verbally lambasted her on the microphone.

To respond to May’s verbal lashing, Storm simply informed her that she was her biggest fan and saw everything she had ever done, finishing by resting her head on her chest.

May reverted back to fashion, patting Storm on the head in an embrace before shocking Storm and the crowd inside Daily’s Place by viciously slapping Storm repeatedly. She followed up by whipping Storm with her title belt as referees as other various AEW personnel attempted to break things up.

After it seemed May was content, she threw her hands in the air and began heading to the back.

And then it happened.

“What makes you think that I’ve forgotten?” Storm said into the microphone, still on the ground from the beating she just received from May, while her lipstick was shown smeared on her face.

“What makes you think our dance is done? Each scar, every drop of blood — I will feel forever! But now, it’s my moment in the sun,” she continued, while taking her shirt off. “They say the hardest role you will ever play is yourself,” she said while removing her shoes and pants. “But what you just witnessed is the performance of a lifetime.”

Storm added, “Mariah May, you may be the woman from hell, but you came from my womb and I will shove you back up there and spit you out. I am Timeless, Timeless, Timeless Toni Storm, and I’m gonna rip your t*ts off.”

Storm’s “Timeless” character began in August 2023 when she came up short at AEW Dynamite 200 in an attempt to dethrone then-AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida. She began transitioning to the on-screen persona of a demanding Golden Age of Hollywood actress, who is deranged and delusional.

She would continue to chase the title held by Shida, ultimately capturing it at Dynamite in October of 2023. The reign continued under her “Timeless” persona for nearly a year before she lost the title to May at All In last August.

Along with the title, Storm would shed her “Timeless” character, reverting back to her backward baseball cap-look and adopting a wide-eyed rookie persona to go with it when she made her return at December’s Winter is Coming edition of Dynamite.

Samoa Joe returns for the first time since last July as he takes on Nick Wayne while Powerhouse Hobbs squares off with Big Bill.

The show is rounded out by Buddy Matthews & Brody King vs. Gates of Agony.

**********

We got pre-roll promos from The Patriarchy, Toni Storm, Mariah May, & Samoa Joe. Tony Schaivone & Nigel McGuinness were joined by Jim Ross for this week’s show.

Samoa Joe (w/ Hook & Katsuyori Shibata) defeated Nick Wayne (w/The Patriarchy)

Good to see Joe back in a fun opener to continue the Patriarchy/Hook & Friends feud.

This match was originally scheduled for Dynamite, but Samoa Joe had travel issues due to winter weather.

The Patriarchy surrounded Joe before Hook & Shibata came out to ward them off. Joe took the fight to Wayne to start, peppering him with jabs in the corner. Joe had Wayne up for the Muscle Buster, but Wayne raked the eyes to escape. Wayne worked over Joe’s legs, hitting a moonsault to Joe on the outside.

Joe came back with the uranage in the corner, but Wayne clawed at Joe’s eyes to avoid another Muscle Buster attempt. Wayne hit a rolling Code Red for a nearfall. A Wayne’s World attempt got ducked, and Joe laid out Wayne with a sick lariat before scoring with the Muscle Buster for the win.

We got a recap of the angle from Dynamite with Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, & The Callis Family.

Champion vs. Champion Non-Title Match – AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada defeated ROH TV Champion Komander

This was a good clash of styles, with Komander having another good showing against a top-line star in Okada.

Komander refused to shake Okada’s hand and used his pace to keep Okada off balance to start the match. Komander hit a tope to the floor before Okada dropped him with a boot. Komander came back with a step-up armdrag to the floor but got caught on a headscissors attempt on the floor and dropped with a DDT.

After a commercial break, Okada tried to catch another headscissors attempt, but Komander caught him with an X-Factor. A wheelbarrow bulldog got Komander a nearfall, but Okada cut off a springboard and hit the neckbreaker over the knee. Okada hit the elbow drop and gave the big middle finger, but Komander ducked the Rainmaker and hit a step-up headscissors. Komander hit a springboard destroyer and hit a ropewalk moonsault to the floor. Okada caught Komander on a springboard and hit the Rainmaker for the win.

After the match, Okada finally got his handshake before jumping Komander from behind and cackling to the back.

We got a recap of last week’s run in that led to the trios match tonight between Daniel Garcia & 2.0 & The Undisputed Kingdom.

Powerhouse Hobbs was waiting in the parking lot for Big Bill. Bill arrived, chucking a brick at Hobbs’ head and pinballing him around. Bill laid him out with a big boot, but Hobbs ripped a fence door off and hit Bill with it before security separated them.

Big Boom AJ & Big Justice were backstage with Lexy Nair, who were interrupted by The Undisputed Kingdom. Adam Cole came in and did the Boom with them.

The Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) defeated Daniel Garcia, Angelo Parker, & Matt Menard

This is the best way to rehab the Undisputed Kingdom after the MJF feud, by having them earn back their cache in-ring. A solid match here to build a few issues in the midcard.

Shane Taylor Promotions were ringside. Cole & Garcia started off, with both teams getting quick tags in before Garcia laid out O’Reilly on the floor for a commercial break. After the break, the former Jericho Appreciation Society members were laying into O’Reilly in the corner before O’Reilly fought to his corner.

Cole got the hot tag and traded shots with Garcia, dropping him with a neckbreaker over the knee. Strong and Parker tagged in, with Strong running wild with backbreakers. O’Reilly and Strong laid out Menard with double forearms before pinning Parker with a Total Elimination. Both teams shook hands after the match as Shane Taylor Promotions glowered at the scene at ringside.

Max Caster was backstage, upset that his partner and his mentor turned their backs on him last week. He called himself a survivor and announced an Open Challenge Series, daring people to step up to the Best Wrestler Alive.

(I gotta tell you, I don’t like Caster’s chances.)

There was a blink-and-you’ll-miss it tease for Hologram, who has been out on paternity leave recently.

Top Flight was backstage with Lexy Nair. Dante was upset that Lio Rush & Action Andretti weren’t in the building, but Darius wasn’t surprised. He went off on Dante, noting that he never wanted Rush in the group to begin with. Andretti had helped them out while Dante was hurt, but Rush bailed on Dante when Darius got hurt prior to that. Darius challenged Rush to a match and promised to send him packing again.

(I’m intrigued by this lower-card feud, as it continues to evolve in a logical way and continues to keep these four talented guys on screen.)

Mariah May & Toni Storm’s Face-To-Face

I’ve been critical of this story, and I still don’t really understand why Storm pretended to not remember anything. But she got a big pop for the Timeless reveal and cut a good promo, so I guess all’s well that ends well.

Tony Schiavone was in the ring to moderate the face-to-face between Toni Storm & Mariah May. May entered first, ready to get this s**t over with in her own words. May ran Storm down, calling her a joke and a meme before promising to humiliate Storm in her hometown. Storm said that she was May’s biggest fan, having followed her career from the UK to Japan to AEW. Storm said that she wanted to be just like May and gave her a hug. May reciprocated before slapping her in the face and laying her out with the title belt.

May went to leave, but Storm took the mic and asked why May thought she’d forgotten everything. Storm got back into her Timeless Toni voice and disrobed out of her rocker clothes, revealing that she was playing the role of herself and had given the performance of a lifetime. Storm fired up and said that she would rip May apart in Australia as the crowd went crazy.

We got a preview of a long form interview with Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli with Renee Paquette.

Hounds of Hell (Brody King & Buddy Matthews) (w/ Julia Hart) defeated Gates Of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona)

The House of Black is officially dead, and the Hounds of Hell are in their place. King and Matthews can be a cornerstone team in a rebuilt tag division, and can be a credible threat to the Hurt Syndicate moving forward.

King & Matthews came out with a new presentation and a new name as the Hounds of Hell. Matthews and Liona started off before King and Liona traded big shots. Kaun tagged in and helped Liona clubber on King in the corner. Matthews tagged in and took the Gates to the floor before hitting a big dive into the commercial break.

The Gates were running wild as we came back, dumping King over the timekeeper’s table before hitting a double tree slam on Matthews for a nearfall in the ring. King made his way back to the corner and got the tag, running wild on both Gates and hitting a DVD on Liona for a nearfall. Matthews cut off another tree slam, kicking off a move train. Liona no-sold a piledriver, but Matthews hit a Meteora to take him out. Matthews and King hit a corner cannonball/dropkick combination on Kaun for the win.

Big Boom AJ & Big Justice were backstage with Lexy Nair & Harley Cameron. Cameron didn’t know any of their gimmicks, and Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie interrupted them all to talk trash to Cameron.

Penelope Ford & Thunder Rosa were backstage with Lexy Nair. Ford challenged Rosa to a match, and they talked trash to each other.

AEW TBS Title #1 Contendership Four Way Match – Yuka Sakazaki defeated Serena Deeb, Deonna Purrazzo (w/ Taya Valkyrie), Queen Aminata

The action came quickly, with all four women going for flash pins. No one had a clear advantage, with all the women laying in big shots. Sakazaki hit a big dive to the floor as we went to commercial. After the commercial, Purrazzo hit La Mistica on Aminata to lock on a Fujiwara Armbar, but Aminata fought out and they dropped each other with clotheslines.

Sakazaki hit a high cross on Deeb for a nearfall. Deeb came back with a flurry of suplexes and a short-arm lariat to Aminata for a nearfall. Deeb and Aminata brawled to the back, as Valkyrie got in the ring to help Purrazzo. Harley Cameron came out to take Valkyrie out of the match, and Sakazaki caught Purrazzo with a flash pin to win the title shot on Wednesday’s Dynamite.

The Hounds of Hell were in the back with Lexy Nair, with Buddy Matthews saying they barked as one. Kazuchika Okada was laughing at them off to the side, saying that they barked like bitches. Matthews challenged Okada to a title match, with Okada giving him a middle finger in denial. Matthews said that made Okada the bitch and walked off.

Big Bill was in the ring, calling out Powerhouse Hobbs again. Hobbs came out and bumped a bunch of security guards to get to the ring. Bill went after Hobbs’ knee and hit him with a backpack that contained a brick, Hobbs’ knee brace, and a set of handcuffs. Bill punched Hobbs with the handcuffs and bloodied him up as they made their way to the announce table. Bill drilled Hobbs with a chair. Hobbs came back and took Bill off the stage with a belly-to-belly off the stage through a table.

We got a pre-tape of the Don Callis Family meeting in Callis’ palatial estate. Callis noted that this was a different Kenny Omega, one that was bloodthirsty and ready to spill Callis’ blood. Cage brought up how they had the numbers advantage as it was five-on-two, but Callis reminded him that a barely focused Omega won three World Titles with Callis by his side. Callis said that Cage was wrong that there were only five of them, with the camera focusing on a sixth plate at the table.

AEW International Title Match – Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Katsuyori Shibata

An awesome main event here, as Shibata took Takeshita to the brink with Daily’s Place red-hot for it. Takeshita looked strong going into the big-time Grand Slam Australia tag match.

The two grappled to start the match, with Shibata almost scoring with the Penalty Kick. Shibata cornered Takeshita, but Takeshita fired out of the corner with a lariat. Takeshita took Shibata over the barricade and went for a running boot, but Shibata caught him with a boot and knocked him over a chair as we went to commercial.

Shibata hammered Takeshita in the corner as we came back from the break, landing the hesitation dropkick and the half-hatch suplex for a nearfall. Shibata teed off with kicks, but Takeshita came back with strikes of his own. Takeshita landed a big forearm, but Shibata came back with an STO. The two traded forearms before Shibata snatched on a sleeper hold. Takeshita tried to fall back, but Shibata held on to the hold.

Takeshita transitioned out of the sleeper into a Bastard Driver and a German suplex, but Shibata hammered Takeshita with a Penalty Kick as the fans chanted AEW. Shibata locked in the Cobra Twist as Don Callis went to ringside from the announce booth. The two men traded suplexes before Shibata got the sleeper hold on again. Callis cut off the Penalty Kick, allowing Takeshita to counter the sleeper with a Blue Thunder Bomb for a one count.

Takeshita ran through Shibata with a lariat and the Powerdrive Knee before landing Raging Fire for the win.

Toni Storm & Mariah May segment, six-man tag set for AEW Collision Homecoming

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Toni Storm wants to meet Mariah May.

On Saturday’s Collision, Toni Storm came out and talked about her big win on Dynamite where she became the new number one contender to the AEW Women’s Championship, officially setting up her match against Mariah MAy for Grand Slam Australia. She said she was excited to wrestle in the building where she saw her first wrestling match, and wanted to introduce herself to the champion and thought of no better place than on next week’s Collision Homecoming in Jacksonville. Tony Schiavone attempted to remind Storm of her previous encounters with May, but cut him off and said it was Toni Time.

After their loss to the Undisputed Kingdom, Shane Taylor Promotions jumped, the trio until Daniel Garcia came out for the save. Backstage, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O’Reilly thanked Garcia but were disappointed Garcia and Matt Menard didn’t have a third partner so they could have a match next week. Menard said he would call Angelo Parker, setting up the trios match for Homecoming.

The Gates of Agony will also face off against Buddy Matthews and Brody King, cutting a promo on this week’s show to issue a challenge for any team to face them.

Here is the current card for AEW Collision Homecoming:

  • Mariah May & Toni Storm meet face-to-face
  • Daniel Garcia, Matt Menard, and Angelo Parker vs. Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong)
  • Buddy Matthews & Brody King vs. The Gates of Agony

AEW Collision live results: Cope vs. Big Bill, Chris Jericho vs. Dax Harwood

Posted on by Suit Williams

AEW heads to Athens, Georgia, for tonight’s live Collision which will see several champions in non-title action.

Former TNT Champion Cope (Adam Copeland) will take on Big Bill after the two were involved in a trios match last Saturday. It will be Cope’s first singles match since May’s Double or Nothing when he fractured his tibia.

In another match coming out of that trios bout, Ring of Honor World Champion Chris Jericho will battle FTR’s Dax Harwood in a non-title match. The last time they went one-on-one, Mike Tyson was special guest enforcer.

Another non-title bout will feature AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May against Harley Cameron. They have squared off once with May leaving victorious.

In two matches made Saturday afternoon, AEW Trios Champion PAC will take on reigning ROH TV Champion Komander while PAC’s partners Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta will face the upstart Outrunners.

Join us for live coverage at 8 PM Eastern.

**********

Collision began with words from Harley Cameron, Mariah May, Rated FTR, & The Learning Tree. Sir Elton John played us into the show. Tony Schiavone & Nigel McGuinness were on the call.

Cope defeated Big Bill

This was a very good return to singles action for Cope, as he and Big Bill had a quality opener here. However, I wouldn’t have had the guy stepping up to Jon Moxley use a low blow to beat a guy at Big Bill’s level. It felt cheap, as it took away from a quality match and victory here. I also would’ve just had Harwood vs. Jericho start here since they were both already out there.

Ring of Honor World Champion Chris Jericho was on commentary to support his student Big Bill. Bill took Cope to the floor quickly, but Cope drove Bill into the steps and pinballed him around ringside. Cope drove Bill into the announce desk to Jericho’s chagrin, but Bill came back with a big boot. Bill clubbered on Cope around ringside as we went to a commercial.

After the break, Cope fought from underneath to take Bill down, scoring a nearfall with a Northern Lariat. Bill came back with a big Boss Man Slam for a nearfall. I didn’t even mean to do that on purpose. Bill called Jericho over to provide a distraction as he ripped the turnbuckle pad off, but Cope avoided a Snake Eyes into the buckle. Both men went to the top rope, and Cope pulled Bill’s head into the exposed buckle before hitting a powerbomb for a nearfall.

Cope went for the Spear, but Bill moved, and Cope hit the turnbuckle. Bill followed up with the Big Boot for a nearfall. Cope countered a chokeslam with an Impaler DDT and cut the Redwood in half with a spear, but Bill kicked out to a big reaction from the crowd. Bill goozled Cope, but Cope pushed the referee out of the way and kicked Bill in the groin before hitting another spear. Cope hit the trademark Moxley hammer-and-anvil elbows before choking Bill out for the win.

Jericho & Bryan Keith jumped Cope after the match, but FTR ran down to make the save. Dax Harwood will take on Chris Jericho later on in the program.

We got a video package for Kenny Omega ahead of his return to AEW action against Brian Cage on Dynamite.

Hangman Page Speaks

Hangman Page was sulking in the back, as per usual. He talked about how he tried to protect his family from the issues that fame brought, and that in one night, it was all taken away. He was ashamed of the incident and was ashamed that he allowed it to happen. He decided to do something about it and made sure that Swerve Strickland lost the World Title, took his potential family home away, and all but spilled his brains out in front of the world.

Page turned his attention to Christopher Daniels, who he humored for a long time because Daniels was the first star of substance to see something in Page when he was young. But Daniels crossed the line and put his hands on Page last week on Collision, so Page promised to make him pay next week on Collision in a Texas Death Match. Daniels made his bed, and Page would lay him down in it.

PAC defeated Komander (w/ Alex Abrahantes)

This was a very good showcase for Komander, who PAC had real trouble with before giving himself the slightest of openings and snatching on the Brutalizer. I may have thought about giving Komander the win to set up a trios title challenge, but I understand keeping the Death Riders strong.

The two went speed-for-speed to start before Komander hit a wacky headscissors over the ropes. Komander hit the ropewalk dive to the floor, following it up with a springboard crossbody for a nearfall. PAC shut Komander down and took him to the floor, where he got in his former Death Triangle associate Abrahantes’ face. PAC booted Komander in the ring before sliding out and getting his hands on Abrahantes, but the distraction allowed Komander to do a step-up moonsault to PAC on the floor.

Back in the ring, Komander hit a wild X-Factor before hitting a tilt-a-whirl DDT for a nearfall. Komander went for a step-up moonsault, but PAC cut him off and hung him up on the ropes. PAC went up for the Black Arrow, but Komander rolled away. Komander caught a charging PAC with a pair of superkicks, then hit a step-up Destroyer. Komander went for a 450 Splash, but PAC got the knees up and snatched on the Brutalizer for the win.

After the match, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta made their way to the ring, with the announcers talking about how Castagnoli wanted payback after Komander’s Christmas Dynamite upset over him. The Outrunners made the save for Komander, and this time, the upcoming match started right then and there.

Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta) defeated The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd)

This was the best straight-up tag match I’ve seen the Outrunners have in their AEW run, as the crowd was hot for them here against a main event act in the Death Riders.

The Outrunners worked over Yuta until Castagnoli knocked down Floyd from the apron. Castagnoli worked over Floyd until he got caught with a Thesz Press. The Outrunners knocked Castagnoli & Yuta to the floor as we went to the commercial break.

After the commercial break, the Death Riders were working over Magnum, scoring a nearfall with a Hart Attack. Magnum fought for the tag and eventually got it to Floyd, who ran wild with bodyslams. They hit the Predator Elbow on Yuta, but Total Recall got cut off. Yuta sent Floyd into the ropes, where Castagnoli hit an uppercut for a nearfall.

We got a pinning predicament with Yuta and Floyd, ending with Floyd stuffing a Seatbelt attempt for a nearfall. Castagnoli screamed at Yuta to finish the match but got annoyed and dragged Yuta to the corner to force a tag. They hit the Giant Swing dropkick, but a bit of confusion on the legal man allowed Floyd to break the cover. A Yuta cutoff allowed Castagnoli to drop Floyd with a Gutwrench Superplex, and a Rocket Launcher got the win for the Death Riders.

We got a commercial hyping all of the matches on Dynamite: Maximum Carnage on Wednesday.

We got a promo from Powerhouse Hobbs ahead of his AEW World Title match on Dynamite. He said that everything Jon Moxley wanted was standing in front of him, as Hobbs took initiative and won the Casino Gauntlet Match to earn a World Title shot. Hobbs said that he had been shot, stabbed, and left for dead. Moxley couldn’t do anything to him, and he would make Moxley his b***h.

Non-Title Match – Mariah May defeated Harley Cameron

AEW may have a prospect with Harley Cameron. She’s very charismatic, and she did well here against the World Champion.

Cameron has new music, which was probably urging fans to feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. Cameron went for some flash pins, but May shut her down with a headbutt. Cameron came back with a Russian leg sweep and an enzuigiri for a nearfall. May came back with a shotgun dropkick as we went to commercial.

May was still in control when we came back from commercial, scoring a nearfall with a headscissors off of the top rope. Cameron came back with a hairmare before running wild with strikes. Cameron hit a pumphandle back suplex for a nearfall. Cameron stuffed the Storm Zero with a jackknife for a nearfall, but May came back with a running knee and a Storm Zero for the win.

We got a promo from Christopher Daniels. He never came to Hangman Page as an official, but as a friend. He watched as Page went through the worst year of his life, and watched as the rest of Page’s friends deserted him. He tried to help Page out but was only met with violence. Daniels was angry that Page asked what he had done in the business, running down his resume as a former AEW World Champion and an architect of two separate wrestling promotions. He was AEW before AEW existed, and he would add beating Hangman Page to his resume.

Brody King (w/ Julia Hart) defeated Trevor Blackwell

King quickly handled Blackwell, beating him with a Gonzo Bomb.

After a commercial, Brody King & Julia Hart were backstage with Lexy Nair. He was interrupted by Cope, who said that he respected King after their run-ins over the last year. Cope said that it was time for King to take the reins and run.

TNT Championship Match – Daniel Garcia (c) defeated Katsuyori Shibata

This was a great defense for Garcia here. He tried to match Shibata at Shibata’s own game, and while Shibata remained a step ahead of him for most of the match, Garcia was able to outwrestle The Wrestler and get a win with his signature Jackknife cradle. I would have main evented the show with this to signal that the TNT Title is worthy of main eventing an episode of TV.

Matt Menard joined commentary for Garcia matches, as usual. The commentary brought up how due to the inclement weather in Georgia, Garcia had to get ready in the taxi on the way from the Atlanta airport. They questioned if Garcia’s lack of warm-up would cost him here in this championship match. Garcia and Shibata traded chops to start, with Shibata winning the exchange and hitting the hesitation dropkick in the corner.

Garcia made his comeback after the break, with he and Shibata trading inside cradle attempts for nearfalls. They went to trading boots and back suplexes before Shibata laid Garcia out with an STO. They both sat back up before Shibata won a chop exchange and locked in a Cobra Twist. Garcia hit a Dragon Screw leg whip and tried an ankle lock before Shibata countered it. A Dragon Tamer got countered into an Achilles Lock and a Figure Four from Shibata.

Garcia got to the ropes and ducked a Penalty Kick, but Shibata stuffed another Dragon Screw and popped Garcia with an open-hand slap. Shibata pulled Garcia into a hold, but Garcia caught Shibata with a jackknife cover for the win. The two shook hands and raised each other’s hands after the match.

We got a video package hyping the Women’s Casino Gauntlet on Dynamite, narrated by Renee Paquette.

Chris Jericho defeated Dax Harwood

This was a decent Jericho match with a sloppy and cold finish. I would had Cope vs. Big Bill in this spot instead. The post-match angle was why this match was the main event, with the Rated FTR/Learning Tree TV feud tying into the bigger Rated FTR/Death Rider angle. They did a good job of setting Hobbs up as a challenger for Moxley, having Moxley show a semblance of fear against the big man.

Jericho and Harwood locked on a collar-and-elbow tie-up and went all across ringside with it before re-engaging in the ring. Harwood went after Jericho’s leg after a deep Dragon Screw leg whip, wrapping the leg around the ringpost before Jericho yanked Harwood into the post. They fought around ringside again before Harwood hit a brainbuster in the ring for a nearfall. Jericho came back with chops before hitting a top rope hurricanrana into the commercial break.

Jericho had control coming out of the break before Harwood rolled through a high cross for a nearfall. Jericho couldn’t lock on the Walls of Jericho, so he catapulted Harwood into the corner buckles before hitting a Lionsault for a nearfall. Harwood hit another Dragon Screw, but Jericho sent Harwood into the corner post. After a near-slip in the corner, Harwood hit a superplex to lay both men out in the middle of the ring.

Harwood and Jericho laid into each other with chops before slapping each other down. Jericho rolled to the floor and went to use the title belt, but Harwood knocked him down on the outside. Jericho shoved Harwood into the stairs and laid him out with a Codebreaker. Harwood beat the count back in and fought off another Walls of Jericho attempt to lock on a Sharpshooter.

Jericho got to the ropes, and as the referee was dealing with Harwood, Jericho went for a belt shot and missed. Jericho popped the referee in the eye and moved out of the way of a diving headbutt. Jericho hit Harwood with the ROH Title but got a long nearfall out of it. Jericho landed the Judas Effect for the win.

After the match, the rest of the Learning Tree ran out to beat down Harwood. Cope & Cash Wheeler ran down to make the save before the Death Riders made their way to the ring to handle FTR & Cope. The Outrunners came down to even the numbers, and most of the guys fought to the floor.

Cope laid out PAC with a spear, but Jon Moxley appeared and dropped him with a Paradigm Shift. Marina Shafir brought two chairs to set up a Con-Chair-To to Cope before Powerhouse Hobbs made his way to the ring, bursting through all of the heels on the floor. He went face-to-face with Moxley before laying out Castagnoli with a spinebuster. Moxley hit Hobbs with a chair, but Hobbs didn’t budge and knocked the chair out of Moxley’s hands. Hobbs chased Mox to the outside before Shafir cut Hobbs off. Wheeler Yuta went to jump Hobbs, but Hobbs put him through the announce table with a uranage. Hobbs motioned for the title as the show went off the air.

During this match, it was announced that all three members of The Hurt Syndicate would be in action against tag team champions Private Party & Mark Briscoe on Dynamite.

Cope’s return to singles action part of AEW Collision lineup

Posted on by Josh Nason

A non-title match featuring AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May, a bout between two former AEW titleholders, and a first time ever clash have been announced for this Saturday’s Collision.

After they squared off as part of a trios bout last Saturday, Cope (the former Adam Copeland) will take on Big Bill for the first time ever. It will be Cope’s first singles match since he fractured his tibia in a barbed wire cage match with Malakai Black at last May’s Double or Nothing.

In another match coming out of that encounter, former AEW World Champion and current ROH World Champion Chris Jericho will take on former AEW Tag Team Champion Dax Harwood in a non-title bout. It will be their second-ever singles match and the first since an April 2021 match that featured Mike Tyson as special enforcer.

Reigning Women’s Champion Mariah May will take on Harley Cameron after Cameron challenged her in her own unique way on Wednesday’s Dynamite.

Here’s a look at the current announced lineup from Athens, Georgia:

  • AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May vs. Harley Cameron in a non-title match
  • ROH World Champion Chris Jericho vs. Dax Harwood in a non-title match
  • Cope vs. Big Bill

AEW Worlds End preview & predictions: Highs & lows

Posted on by Mike DellaCamera

Editor’s note: The following is an opinion-based preview and reflects that of the author, not our website.

2024 has been a rollercoaster for AEW full of significant highs like another successful Wembley Stadium show, Sting’s spectacular retirement, and, most importantly for their future, a lucrative TV rights renewal.

But with those highs have come familiar lows: consistent, systemic issues that have plagued the company since its inception. Inconsistent booking decisions, the maddening inability to pull the trigger on new babyface acts, and of course, entirely too much weekly TV time to Chris Jericho. Even smaller, technical missteps, like frequent production hiccups, persist. These aren’t just bumps in the road; they are deeply rooted flaws in AEW’s foundation.

For years, fans and defenders of the company would point to attendance and strong ratings as proof that everything was fine. Critics, they claimed, were overreacting and clutching their pearls for no reason. But those indicators are lagging ones. Now, as Dynamite’s ratings continue to fall and attendance dwindles, AEW has been forced to run smaller venues in a practical decision, but one that underscores declining interest.

Fans will show up with both their eyeballs and wallets if the product is good. But no longer can AEW trade on the currency of tremendous pay-per-view shows. That is largely still true, but as good as the in-ring can be if the rest can’t keep up, the audience has proven they will not stay. 

AEW has become over-reliant on the moment and too often neglects the story, making everything feel hollow. A company that once teemed with life now comes off as flat, its vibrancy dimmed. This hits me on a personal level. As someone who watches entirely too much wrestling (apologies to my wonderful wife) and has written about nearly every major AEW show, staying fully engaged as a consumer has never been harder. There hasn’t been much, if any, learning from mistakes.

Claims to be ‘returning to who they are’ and ‘restoring the feeling’ ring hollow when they have been a constant refrain for years. By any objective measure, AEW is still a massively successful wrestling promotion, but in order to achieve lasting success, the status quo cannot be maintained. 

Will this show be good? Most likely. Will any of us remember it by the time the ball drops on New Year’s Eve? Most likely not. Nevertheless, we persist and we preview the end of the world: Saturday’s AEW Worlds End from Orlando, Florida (8 PM EST main card on PPV).

Adam Cole vs. MJF for MJF’s Dynamite diamond ring

This is the sad conclusion to an odd chapter in AEW. These two wrestled in the main event at Wembley Stadium two years ago in an actively disappointing match. At least the program had some heat to carry it through. This time, though, nothing is propelling this story forward. There is only the whisper of what was, and the crowd is (barely) reacting accordingly. The sooner it ends the better and the outcome is irrelevant. Whoever wins will be in the same position they were coming in, if not worse for it.

No matter the outcome, MJF is going to be just fine. It’s Cole who needs a good showing here. He comes across as leagues beneath MJF and miles away from anything meaningful. Nothing about that changes on Saturday. 

Prediction: MJF

Continental Classic Semifinals and finals: Kazuchika Okada vs. Ricochet & Kyle Fletcher vs. Will Ospreay

For the second year in a row, the Continental Classic is an unquestioned high point in AEW’s year. The matches inject some much-needed life into the cards. All the competitors treat it with reverence and go all out to win it. At its best, the tournament revitalized the company’s ethos, reminding fans why AEW once felt like the alternative to the mainstream of sports entertainment. It succeeds not by overloading itself with gimmicks or drama, but by focusing on what AEW has originally promised: wrestling as sport with stakes that matter and stories that unfold in the ring.

Some of my personal highlights:

  • Brody King featured on TV as there is no good reason he shouldn’t have a solo run in 2025
  • Kyle Fletcher’s continued growth as a performer
  • Shelton Benjamin showing out every single week
  • Ricochet’s much-needed character development
  • Will Ospreay struggling for the first time in AEW

The last takeaway is just Darby Allin, worthy of far more than a single bullet and who had a true no skips tournament run for this absolute madman. He’s the most bankable television wrestler in any major company, wrestling tremendous matches with every opponent. None of it was stale, none of it was repetitive. Each match was its own kind of special. There were a lot of bumps for AEW this year, but the ascension of Allin to the top of the card was not one of them.

Winning the Continental Classic should be a launching pad to individual success and treated like an even bigger deal moving forward. It’s now a proven commodity and something that AEW fans should look forward to every year. As for who wins the thing? There’s a good story to be told with either Fletcher or Ricochet winning. It puts a definitive crown on their heel turns and establishes them as featured players for 2025. 

Prediction and new Continental Champion: Kyle Fletcher

TBS Champion Mercedes Mone defends against Kris Statlander

Statlander is the most recent example of a problem that’s plagued AEW for years: the sudden flipping of a character’s alignment with no explanation. Three months ago, she was firmly a heel and aligned with Stokely Hathaway. Immediately after her street fight with Willow Nightingale at September’s All Out, her pairing with Hathaway was dropped without mention and she was suddenly ‘good.’

Months later, there has been no clear explanation for the change. No character development. She’s just different now. How is the audience expected to connect with someone like that, someone whose motivations are not just unclear and they are a mystery? It would have taken mere minutes of TV time to explain her actions. If characters are going to continue to haphazardly switch sides, it becomes nearly impossible to care about any of them and it makes meaningful turns so much less impactful. 

A positive for AEW: Mercedes Mone is fully back. One of her strengths is her feel for the moment. Few are better at navigating a big match and building to its crescendo. When these two locked up at Full Gear, it was excellent and I have high, high hopes for the sequel. What I don’t have high hopes for is a title change.

Prediction: Mone retains

AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May defends against Thunder Rosa in a street fight

This is another title match with very little juice. The first nine months of 2024 belonged to May. Her ascent was marked by a captivating story, one that allowed her to showcase her presence and charisma. Her coronation at All In suggested the division’s next breakout star had arrived. Her matches had buzz; her presence felt like a promise. And yet, since capturing the title, something has been missing. Her reign is defined less by dominance or memorable defenses and more by an unsettling inertia as if the creative energy that fueled her rise was spent entirely in the chase. The lead-up to her crowning moment was so well done that what followed feels, by comparison, deflated. 

Making this a street fight — a stipulation designed to inject grit and urgency into an otherwise lukewarm rivalry — is another misstep. Rosa, despite her resume, has struggled to regain her footing in AEW after a prolonged absence. Her sporadic appearances and uneven booking have left her without the aura of a credible challenger. Like the men’s World title match, this seems like filler and a match designed to buy time for whatever is next rather than elevate either competitor. Being forward-thinking is important, but the present still needs to matter.

Prediction: May retains

AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita defends against Powerhouse Hobbs

At last, something we can sink our teeth into: two big, beautiful boys beating the crap out of each other. Takeshita’s brilliance is in his ability to move between styles, equally comfortable trading heavy blows as he is performing mind-melting feats of athleticism. Hobbs thrives by asserting dominance, becoming the kind of force AEW has so often lacked in a roster heavy on smaller, more fleet of foot athletes. Give me 8-13 minutes of these two emptying the tank and I’ll go home happy.

Takeshita is not just a student of greatness; he is its natural heir. As much as I enjoy Hobbs and as good as he is, his ceiling is not to be the best in the world. His opponent, however, possesses that ceiling and gets the win.

Prediction: Takeshita retains

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley defends against Orange Cassidy, Hangman Page and Jay White in a fatal four-way

We arrive at the end and are met with a muddled mess.

Moxley and The Death Riders started with such promise, running roughshod over AEW. But, it has become aimless and meandering. After they sent Bryan Danielson into retirement via attempted murder, the remains of the Blackpool Combat Club felt different, all-encompassing, and unbeatable. They summarily dispatched and nearly killed the greatest wrestler of all time without a care in the world.

But weeks and months went on and nothing evolved. They aren’t imposing their will over the rest of the roster. Instead, they are winning matches via distraction rollups. The group that has tried to suffocate someone and poison someone else is winning by the hairs of their chinny chin chins? Not exactly menacing. 

As good of a promo as Moxley is, the words have to mean something at some point. They can’t just be ominous and foreboding. Villains need to have clear motivations and fans need to know what they’re working toward. Taking back AEW and making it something different is all well and good, but what do they want to shape it into? What is the end game? All the tea leaves still point towards Darby Allin winning the title and saving AEW from Mox and crew, completing the coronation of a conquering hero and the establishment of the new top babyface.

For that babyface to exist, the group he overcomes needs to be powerful, not just similarly dressed troublemakers with vague motives and notions of the greater good.

You’ll notice that was about 200 words and none of them about the actual title match on Saturday. That, dear readers, is because this is another filler program. There is no way Hangman, White or Cassidy is leaving Worlds End as champion. None of them have been built up as reasonable threats and they certainly haven’t been treated like they are. Hopefully, the show ends with a hot closing angle (Kenny Omega returning, Darby Allin getting involved with some outrageous weapon, etc.) because as a main event, this is sorely lacking.

Prediction: Moxley retains

Two title matches announced for AEW Worlds End

Posted on by Matt Boone

The lineup for the year-end All Elite Wrestling pay-per-view event continued to take shape on Saturday night.

During this week’s taped episode of AEW Collision: Winter is Coming, two new championship matches were announced. Mariah May will defend the AEW Women’s title against Thunder Rosa in a Tijuana Street Fight, while Konosuke Takeshita will defend the AEW International title against Powerhouse Hobbs.

In a backstage segment in the first hour of Collision, Thunder Rosa spoke with Tony Schiavone for a brief interview. After “meeting” the “new” Toni Storm, who crashed the interview to fawn over the former AEW Women’s Champion and legendary commentator, Rosa got down to business, saying her father will be with her in spirit when she squares off against “The Glamour”, confirming the title match for later this month.

Additionally, the second hour of the show saw Don Callis in a backstage promo segment announcing that “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita will be defending his AEW International Championship against former Don Callis Family member Powerhouse Hobb.

AEW Worlds End 2024 is scheduled to take place on December 28 from the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida, featuring the following advertised lineup:

* Jon Moxley (c) vs. Orange Cassidy vs. Hangman Page vs. Jay White (AEW Title)
* MJF (c) vs. Adam Cole (Dynamite Diamond Ring)
* 2024 AEW Continental Classic League Finals & Championship Finals
* Mariah May (c) vs. Thunder Rosa in a Tijuana Street Fight (AEW Women’s Title)
* Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Powerhouse Hobbs (AEW International Title)

Toni Storm makes surprise return at AEW Dynamite Winter is Coming

Posted on by Josh Nason

Toni Storm has returned to AEW, but it’s not the one fans last saw.

Following Mariah May’s successful Women’s World title defense over Mina Shirakawa to close Wednesday’s Winter is Coming edition of Dynamite, Storm’s old music hit and she came out dressed in her old ring gear, indicating the “Timeless” black and white era is over for now.

Storm simply stood on the stage and posed while May looked on disgust. It was May who ended Storm’s long run with the title at last August’s All In, made possible by her women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament win. It was after the Owen win where May shockingly turned on Storm, bloodying her up and setting the stage for their feud.

Storm hasn’t been in action or on AEW TV since that night. In the time she was away, she wrestled in Stardom and also made her CMLL debut, but her lack of success in either had her claim she was retiring — a claim Tony Khan politely shot down on a media call afterward.

Women’s World title match booked for AEW Dynamite Winter is Coming

Posted on by Ethan Renner

The AEW Women’s World Championship will be defended at this year’s Winter is Coming episode of Dynamite.

As revealed during Wednesday’s Dynamite, Mariah May will defend her Women’s Championship against Mina Shirakawa at Dynamite Winter is Coming on Wednesday, December 11.

The match stems from the angle at Full Gear where May attempted to hit Shirakawa with a champagne bottle during their celebration segment. Shirakawa ducked the bottle and broke it with a kick, then sending herself and May through a table with a spear off the stage.

Another angle was shot during Wednesday’s Dynamite where May interrupted a sit-down interview between Shirakawa and Renee Paquette, this time connecting with a bottle shot to Shirakawa.

Prior to the attack, Shirakawa stated that she had been on alert for a May attack after May turned against their former ally Toni Storm. Strom has been absent from AEW programming since dropping the title to May at All In in August.

The announced lineup to this point for AEW Dynamite Winter is Coming set for Wednesday, December 11

‘Champagne championship celebration’ announced for AEW Full Gear

Posted on by Josh Nason

After successfully defending her AEW Women’s World title on Collision, reigning titleholder Mariah May will host a champagne celebration with Mina Shirakawa at next Saturday’s Full Gear.

May defeated Anna Jay in their trilogy bout, a no DQ affair that saw May pick up the win after hitting Storm Zero onto a chair. Jay is now unable to challenge May for the title as long as she holds it.

Shirakawa, May’s past tag team partner in Stardom, made her in-ring return to AEW a successful one by defeating Harley Cameron. It was her first match and win in AEW since a late-August victory on Rampage.

May defeated former champion and friend Toni Storm at this past August’s All In. Storm hasn’t appeared on AEW programming since then, but recent vignettes have teased her return — a strong possibility for next Saturday given the storyline between all three women.

Here’s the current card for Saturday, November 23rd in Newark, New Jersey:

  • AEW World Champion Jon Moxley defends against Orange Cassidy
  • TBS Champion Mercedes Mone defends against Kris Statlander
  • TNT Champion Jack Perry defends against Daniel Garcia
  • Will Ospreay vs. Kyle Fletcher
  • Jay White vs. Hangman Page
  • Bobby Lashley vs. Swerve Strickland
  • MJF vs. Roderick Strong
  • Mariah May & Mina Shirakawa champagne celebration
  • Four-way match for AEW Tag Team titles: Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen) defends against The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd), House of Black (Malakai Black & Brody King), and The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens)
  • Zero Hour: Costco Guy AJ vs. QT Marshall

AEW Collision live results: Mariah May vs. Anna Jay no DQ title match

Posted on by Suit Williams

Anna Jay will get one last shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship on tonight’s AEW Collision from Albany, New York.

Mariah May has agreed to one last match for the title under no disqualification rules. At the last Battle of the Belts, Jay defeated May to earn a title shot. Jay failed to win the title in that bout and if she loses here, she can’t challenge May for the title again.

May’s friend Mina Shirakawa will face off against Harley Cameron. Shirakawa is making her in-ring return after appearing on Wednesday’s Dynamite. Former AEW Tag Team Champion The Acclaimed will face LFI’s Rush & The Beast Mortos in a Full Gear Tag Team title qualifier where the winners will be the final team to enter next Saturday’s four-way.

Other matches will see Johnny TV take on Daniel Garcia, Shelton Benjamin squaring off against Komander, and Powerhouse Hobbs taking on Bear Bronson. We’ll also hear from FTR and AEW World Champion Jon Moxley.

**********

Collision began with Anna Jay & Mariah May walking into the building ahead of their no-disqualification Title match in tonight’s main event. Tony Schiavone & Nigel McGuinness were on the call as always.

Mina Shirakawa defeated Harley Cameron

A fun opener to get Shirakawa back in the mix in AEW.

There was a lot of shimmying to start before Shirakawa went to work on Cameron’s legs. Cameron got Shirakawa to the ropes before smothering her with her bosom. Is this Collision or Battle of the Boobs? Shirakawa got back on offense and scored a nearfall with a misdirection head kick. Shirakawa went back to the legs before locking on the Figure Four. Cameron fought to the ropes before scoring with a backstabber.

Cameron’s knee betrayed her on a fireman’s carry, and Shirakawa laid in boots to the knee. Cameron caught Shirakawa with a pumphandle back suplex for a nearfall. Cameron tried to flash pin Shirakawa with her legs on the ropes, but the referee caught her and didn’t count the pin. Shirakawa hit a Disaster Kick before hitting a diving Slingblade for a nearfall. Shirakawa hit a backfist before scoring with the Glamorous Driver Mina to get the win.

TNT Champion Jack Perry drove to the building in his Scapegoat bus ahead of the next match.

Daniel Garcia defeated Johnny TV (w/Mansoor & Mason Madden)

What is it about the TV titles in this company that inspire ideas of vehicular assault? On a different note, Johnny and MxM will make a fine enhancement trio.

Matt Menard joined commentary, as usual for Garcia matches. Johnny dropped Garcia with a pair of shoulder blocks before Garcia scored with one of his own. MxM got involved, with Mansoor distracting the referee as Madden chokeslammed Garcia from the apron. After a commercial, Johnny sent Garcia to the floor before following with a twisting tornillo.

As Garcia and Johnny were on the floor, Jack Perry attacked Menard on commentary and dragged him through the crowd. Garcia, unaware of what happened, hit a back suplex in the ring as the match continued. Garcia fired up on Johnny, hitting a Twist and Shout neckbreaker for a nearfall. Johnny dumped Garcia to the floor so MxM could lay the boots to him, but Garcia sent them both into the post.

Johnny caught Garcia on his way back in the ring with a Chuck Kick before hitting the Moonlight Drive. Garcia avoided the End of the World and locked on a Cobra Clutch to get Johnny to submit. After the match, Garcia asked the commentators where Menard went before the jumbotron showed Perry continuing his attack on Menard backstage. Garcia ran backstage to find them.

After the announcers reset things, we cut to Perry and Menard outside near Perry’s bus. Perry grabbed a chain with a GIANT HOOK from the bus. This might have been the chain that Kane had in See No Evil. He set the hook up to the back of the bus and wrapped Menard up in the chain, but Garcia caught up to Perry and threw him into the side of the bus. Garcia and Menard had an idea, and Menard grabbed the camera before we went to a commercial.

Lio Rush was backstage. He was frustrated with his lot in AEW, and he wasn’t sure where he stood with his friends in AEW. He wanted gold, and he hoped his friends were on his side to take it with him.

We cut back to Daniel Garcia & Matt Menard as they had Jack Perry chained to the front of his bus. Garcia and Menard got on the bus and drove it as Perry had to dodge the barricades that Garcia drove through.

Shelton Benjamin (w/MVP) defeated Komander (w/Alex Abrahantes)

Another impressive showcase for Benjamin, who has completely outperformed my expectations for him.

I need MVP to get his hands on Alex. They are in the MVP Arena after all, he can get away with it. Benjamin hoofed Komander around the ring for a while. Komander dodged Benjamin in the corner before getting a flurry of offense. Benjamin cut him off on a headscissors attempt and backdropped him.

After a commercial, Komander dodged a rising knee and scored with a springboard dropkick. Komander scored with a triple rotation headscissors before hitting his ropewalk dive to a big pop. Komander hit a 619 before going for the ropewalk Shooting Star Press, but Benjamin moved and sent Komander flying with a pair of German suplexes. A rising knee and a big superkick led to the T-Bone Suplex and a win for Benjamin.

After the match, MVP told Benjamin to take Komander’s mask off. Abrahantes tried to stop him, and MVP handed Benjamin his cane before laying out Abrahantes with a clothesline. My prayers have been answered.

Kris Statlander was backstage with Renee Paquette. She said that Mercedes Mone was backed into a corner, which is why she tried to take her out a few weeks ago. Mone wasn’t going to be able to get out of the match at Full Gear, and Statlander would take the TBS Title. Hikaru Shida entered the frame and wished Statlander luck before making it clear that she wanted to challenge Statlander for the title after the PPV. Statlander made a counter offer, challenging Shida to a match on Dynamite this week.

The Acclaimed were backstage with Lexy Nair. When asked about Billy Gunn’s whereabouts, Caster blew off the question before putting the team over. Bowens said that Gunn would be there for them before MVP & Shelton Benjamin entered the frame. MVP offered The Acclaimed good luck and gave Caster some advice before telling him not to blow this big opportunity for the tag team titles.

Powerhouse Hobbs defeated Bulk Bronson (w/Beefcake Boulder & Jacked Jameson)

Jameson cut his usual promo that I never care to listen to. Hobbs handled all three of the Savages with ease, as Jameson and Boulder tried to interfere to no avail. Hobbs won with the Human Torture Rack, scoring his 100th AEW win.

During this match, it was announced that the stars of CMLL will be in AEW over the next few weeks. Mascara Dorada, Atlantis Jr, and Hechicero will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and Mistico will be at Dynamite on November 27th.

Roderick Strong & The Kingdom were backstage with Lexy Nair, who congratulated him on earning the match with MJF at Full Gear. Strong said that he would have more to say on Dynamite, but warned him that next week at Full Gear, he would prove to MJF that he was better than him.

AEW World Tag Team Champions Private Party came out to watch the following match.

Full Gear Four Way Contenders Series Tag Team Match – The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster) (w/ Billy Gunn) defeated La Faccion Ingobernable (Rush & The Beast Mortos) (w/ Jake Roberts)

If you’ve read my reviews, you’ll know that I’m well over the Acclaimed. But with the MVP/Hurt Syndicate angle to think about and the PPV taking place in the Tri-State area for the PPV, I don’t take much issue with them in the title match at Full Gear.

The winner of this match will challenge Private Party at Full Gear alongside the House of Black and the Outrunners.

Mortos and Bowens started off, with Mortos blowing through Bowens with a shoulder block. Caster tagged himself in, with Bowens not exactly ready to get tagged out. Caster fought off Rush’s cord attack, but Rush was able to rip him off the apron to the floor as we went to a commercial. After the break, Bowens got a hot tag and ran wild before diving onto Mortos on the floor. The match broke down into a Pier Six brawl before all four men were laid out.

Rush and Bowens traded strikes, with Rush laying Bowens out with a powerslam. Bowens dodged a senton and tagged in Caster, who hit a top-rope splash for a nearfall. Mortos hit a double stomp onto Caster for a nearfall and another brawl broke out. Caster dodged a cannonball, and the Acclaimed hit their finishing moves to score the win. Private Party defend the tag team titles at Full Gear against the House of Black, the Outrunners, and the Acclaimed.

During this match, it was announced that I have a week off next week. Collision will return in two weeks due to Full Gear being next Saturday night.

Mina Shirakawa was backstage with Lexy Nair. She was excited for Mariah May’s match and blew off a question about a future title shot by dancing.

There was a wacky MxM Collection commercial for ShopAEW.

The Continental Classic starts in two weeks on the Thanksgiving Eve Dynamite, with Tony Schiavone noting that all of the participants will be announced after Full Gear. Mark Briscoe, Tomohiro Ishii, & Rocky Romero of the Conglomeration were backstage with Lexy Nair, who asked Ishii about his ROH World Title match against Chris Jericho at the Thanksgiving Eve Dynamite. Ishii silently stared at the camera before Briscoe told Lexy that Ishii would kick Jericho’s ass.After a rundown of the Full Gear card, FTR was with Lexy Nair. Cash Wheeler didn’t know where they stood, as it has been a year since they’ve been AEW World Tag Team Champions. Dax Harwood said that they would rebuild before wishing the Outrunners luck at the PPV. We cut to a VHS-quality highlight video of The Outrunners winning their match last week to get in Full Gear title match.

AEW Women’s World Title No Disqualification Match – Mariah May (c) defeated Anna Jay

This was a solid plunder match, and the best of their three matches. This was a fine TV feud for Mariah to kill time with before Mina Shirakawa came back.

If Anna Jay loses, she cannot challenge Mariah May for the title again. Here’s hoping, as these matches have been very tough for me to review. It’s like when Orange Cassidy and Isiah Kassidy had a match I had to review, their names are too close together.

Both women came out with plunder. May threw a trash can at Jay, but Jay ducked it and booted May off of the apron. Deonna Purrazzo and Taya Valkyrie were watching backstage for some reason. Jay pinballed May around ringside, with May falling into Tony Schiavone’s lap at one point. May cut Jay off with a drop toe hold into a chair. May stuffed Jay into a trash can before hitting her with a missile dropkick. May brought a ladder into the ring before Jay caught the champion in the Queenslayer choke. May broke the hold by running Jay into the ladder back-first.

After a commercial, May was in control as she dropped Jay with a slam onto a chair for a nearfall. Jay came back with a Gory Bomb into the ladder for a nearfall. Jay set a table halfway up across from the corner buckles and went for a superplex but May countered with a sunset flip powerbomb through the table for a nearfall. May set up a barricade bridge but Jay cut her off with a backstabber. May scored with a headbutt and laid Jay across the barricade, but Jay cut May off on the top rope and hit a superplex. That looked like it sucked, as the barricade didn’t budge an inch.

Jay rolled to the floor and pulled out a length of barbed wire. She wrapped the barbed wire around her arm and put on the Queenslayer choke but May pulled out a spray bottle and sprayed Jay in the face to break the hold. Jay hit a Storm Zero on a chair to win and retain the title. Mina Shirakawa came out and celebrated with May. May booted Jay while she was down before Shirakawa convinced her to leave.

Schiavone announced that May and Shirakawa would have a Champagne Celebration at Full Gear. He also announced during the match that Big Boom AJ would be at Dynamite ahead of his Zero Hour match against QT Marshall.

Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir were outside. He was surprised by Orange Cassidy’s reaction to his attack on Chuck Taylor. He believed that Cassidy would either crumble in emotion or lash out in rage, but Cassidy remained composed. Moxley called Cassidy a snake, cold-blooded and unnerved. The test would come on Wednesday as Cassidy took on his former friend Wheeler Yuta, who he claimed to still care about. Would Cassidy strike with venomous rage, or would he keep it clean?

Moxley said that he wished that he could be uncaring, but he felt the weight of everyone’s mistakes over the last five years. He said that he would smear Cassidy’s blood on their flag, and plant it so deep into the ground that it would never get moved. Moxley said that his AEW moved every day to grab pro wrestling by the balls, and if you weren’t willing to die for the cause, you needed to get out of the way.

(Moxley continues to be a very interesting character as World Champion. He still cares about AEW, but he has become this manipulative monster convinced that the only way forward is to violently remove anybody who doesn’t follow his path. Now he’s trying to twist the narrative to make Orange Cassidy an uncaring snake that doesn’t care for Yuta. A solid Moxley promo to end the show.)

Collision ended with a video package for all of the big Full Gear matches set to November Rain by Guns N’ Roses. For the uninitiated, this was something that ECW used to do to promote their November To Remember events. Tony Khan was a big ECW fan, and AEW has been using the November To Remember tagline for their events this month.

No DQ Women’s World title match signed for next AEW Collision

Posted on by Josh Nason

Image: AEW

AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May will rematch Anna Jay on next Saturday’s AEW Collision in a no DQ match with major implications for the challenger if she loses.

Jay cut a promo on Saturday’s show, chiding May for her earlier promo in which she said she hated women’s wrestling, insulted the rest of the roster for being weak, and said she had no challengers. Jay called May out for a final opportunity, offering that if she couldn’t beat her in a no DQ match for the title, she will not challenge her for the title again as long as she holds it.

Jay defeated May in an eliminator match at October’s Battle of the Belts special that earned her a title match on Collision earlier this month that May won.

The show will also feature the top contender for Jack Perry’s TNT title — Daniel Garcia — taking on Johnny TV for the first time on AEW TV. MxM Collection will be in TV’s corner as they want to form a trios team with him.

The new additions join the previously announced LFI vs. The Acclaimed match that will send the winner to a four-way at Full Gear for the AEW Tag Team titles.

Here’s the current lineup for next Saturday, set to be taped this Thursday in Albany, New York:

  • AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May defends against Anna Jay in a no DQ match
  • Johnny TV vs. Daniel Garcia
  • Full Gear four-way Tag Team title qualifier: LFI (Rush & Dralistico) vs. The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens)

AEW Collision live results: Mariah May vs. Anna Jay Women’s title match

Posted on by Suit Williams

AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May will defend her title against Anna Jay on tonight’s live AEW Collision from Philadelphia.

Two weeks ago at Battle of the Belts XII, Jay pinned May in an upset to earn the shot. Jay has been looking to prove herself since returning from Japan, saying she has improved tremendously. May will be looking for her fourth title defense.

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley will also be making an appearance. He and the rest of the Blackpool Combat Club have been going after everyone who stands in their way. On Dynamite, Orange Cassidy threw out the challenge to Moxley for Full Gear after Moxley took out Chuck Taylor.

The reborn Kyle Fletcher will take on Komander, who scored an upset win over Lio Rush on Friday’s Rampage.

After feuding for the last several weeks, Thunder Rosa will meet Harley Cameron in what is being billed as a Day of the Dead match.

**********

Private Party Town Hall

This was a nice follow-up to Dynamite, giving Private Party some focus after their big tag team title win. This wasn’t Hard Times or anything, but it was a fine little segment.

Collision began with a collection of wrestlers in the ring and on the stage. Tony Schiavone welcomed out the new AEW World Tag Team Champions Private Party. They thanked the Young Bucks for pushing them to be their absolute best before letting the assorted tag teams around ringside know they were willing to defend their titles against anybody. They got in FTR’s faces and a little shoving commenced, but The Outrunners broke it up and reminded everyone that this was a celebration. They started an AEW chant before Kassidy closed things out.

Separately, Mariah May & Anna Jay walked into the building ahead of their Women’s Title match tonight. Jay cut a short promo saying there would be a new champion tonight.

The Acclaimed were backstage with Renee Paquette. When asked about the changing of the guard in the tag team division, Anthony Bowens congratulated Private Party but noted that they were coming back for the titles. Max Caster interrupted Bowens’ catchphrase to brag about their popularity, with fans giving them money and friendship bracelets. (Don’t let CM Punk see!) To Bowens’ surprise, Caster also pulled out one of MVP’s business cards, noting that Private Party hadn’t gotten an offer from MVP like the Acclaimed had. Bowens cut Caster off to hit his catchphrase and end this enlightening interview.

(I love MVP casting a wide net to see how many people he can get into the Hurt Syndicate. I also enjoy some friction with the Acclaimed, as I’ve grown tired of their act.)

Day Of The Dead Match – Thunder Rosa defeated Harley Cameron

This was a fun little bit of plunder to kick off the wrestling on this show.

This was a no-disqualification match, with Day of the Dead-themed weapons around ringside. Both came out with face paint, Cameron’s more resembling a day at the fair than Dia De Los Muertos. Rosa came out with a picture of Cameron that she sat in a Dia De Los Muertos tribute at ringside. She also had skeleton paint on her body, giving me an excuse to bring up La Parka. Rosa hit Cameron with some plunder around ringside before Cameron cut off a barricade walk. Rosa came right back by throwing Cameron through a big board with a sugar skull skeleton on it.

The two traded clotheslines as we came back from a commercial before they took each other down with hairmares. Rosa hit a lungblower for a nearfall before setting up a chair contraption. She took too long, allowing Cameron to hit her with a SHOOT PINATA before putting her through the contraption for a nearfall. I think there were M&M’s or Skittles in there. God forbid they were Reese’s Pieces. Cameron went for a shining wizard to a seated Rosa, but Rosa moved, and Cameron kicked the chair.

Rosa stuffed Cameron in a trash can and kicked her into the corner. Rosa then set up a table as a ramp before launching with a hesitation dropkick to a binned Cameron for the win.

A freshly shaven Roderick Strong & The Kingdom were backstage with Lexy Nair, with Strong warning SHANE Taylor that he was just an obstacle on his path to MJF. Strong put over his group’s accomplishments, with the Kingdom winning a three-way tag match on last week’s Rampage and Adam Cole coming back better than ever. Brian Cage & Lance Archer walked in to talk trash and tell them to stay out of their way.

Kyle Fletcher defeated Komander (w/ Alex Abrahantes)

This was a must-see match with two stellar young talents in AEW. The crowd being so against Fletcher made it easy for Komander’s normally impressive moveset to get an even bigger reaction. Fletcher has been great in these big spots on TV, and the turn is giving him great momentum into the eventual Will Ospreay match. The Mark Davis diversion is a great call, as he can be a road block match on the way to Ospreay. Just excellent stuff all around.

Fletcher now has Taichi-style tearaway pants, ripping them off and throwing them in Komander’s face to sneak a big boot in. Fletcher caught Komander on a reverse crossbody, but Komander got him into a crucifix hold for a nearfall before running wild on offense. Komander went for a fancy lucha armdrag, but Fletcher shoved Komander off the top rope to the floor. Fletcher followed with a powerbomb on the apron as we went to a commercial break.

After the commercial, Fletcher had Komander in the tree of woe, but Komander somehow caught Fletcher to hit an Avalanche Sliced Bread off the top rope. Fletcher juked Komander on a dive attempt and hit a dive of his own before booting Abrahantes in the face. Komander came back with a step-up moonsault to the floor to a big pop. Back in the ring, Komander scored with a Spanish Fly for a nearfall.

Komander went for a moonsault, but Fletcher countered by booting Komander in the face. Fletcher hit a Last Ride powerbomb for a nearfall. Fletcher teased the Tiger Driver, but Komander countered with a hurricanrana for a nearfall. Fletcher caught Komander on his shoulders on a poisonrana attempt, but Komander pulled Fletcher to the outside and hit the poisonrana on the floor.

Komander hit a Destino on the apron, then followed up with a top rope moonsault for a nearfall. Fletcher scored with a lariat before following with a running boot. Komander slipped out of a top rope Brainbuster attempt before sending Fletcher to the outside with a step-up Destroyer. Komander hit his Spaceman dive to the outside, but when he tried his ropewalk Shooting Star Press, Fletcher booted the rope to knock him down. Fletcher hit a running boot and the top rope Brainbuster for the win.

After the match, Fletcher laid more punches on Komander before Mark Davis came out to stop him. They barked at each other before Fletcher bailed out.

TNT Champion Jack Perry was backstage. He was cutting one of his grumpy promos with his back to the camera when Daniel Garcia walked in. Garcia wanted to put Perry against the wall again like he did on Dynamite but wanted to try a different approach to get through to him. Garcia wanted Perry to know that he’s dealt with pretentious people like Perry all of his life and that Perry didn’t know anything about him. Perry said that he knew Garcia because he was Garcia, having walked the path that Garcia walked. He gave everything to AEW because he loved it, but AEW turned his back on him all the same. He said that Garcia saw who succeeded around here, and that Garcia was afraid to be the person he needed to be to succeed. Perry told Garcia that his unwillingness to sacrifice was why he wasn’t ready.

(This was an excellent bit of business here. Perry has made the dynamic between these two clear and compelling. These are two sides of the same coin, with Perry as the burnt-out, bitter counterpart to Garcia’s ascending, rah-rah babyface.)

Lance Archer & Brian Cage defeated Shaun Smith & Joe Keys

This was a murder, with Smith getting pinned after a chokebomb. They murdered these poor goons some more after the match. They murdered these poor goons some more after the match, leading to The Undisputed Kingdom running them off. Kyle O’Reilly was in the back looking on. Shane Taylor was also watching as Strong was his opponent later tonight.

AR Fox was in the back with Lexy Nair. He was about to talk about what was next for him when Nick Wayne & The Patriarchy walked in. Wayne told Fox that his father – Christian Cage, of course – taught him to always hold a grudge. Wayne reminded Fox that the biggest mistake of his life was jumping Wayne at his training school last year. Fox cut Wayne off to challenge him to a match for next week’s Collision.

We got a recap of Kris Statlander’s win over Kamille on Dynamite, with Mercedes Mone attacking her after the match. Statlander was backstage, noting that she was pissed after the attack. She said that if Mone was the star she believed herself to be, then facing Statlander at Full Gear wouldn’t be an issue.

Jon Moxley Town Hall

Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, & Marina Shafir came out. Moxley spoke amongst the people, noting that he would face Philadelphia’s own Orange Cassidy at Full Gear. Moxley warned Cassidy that the games didn’t begin at Full Gear, they had already begun. Moxley said that it was a question of if Cassidy would make it. He said that Philadelphia built tough, hard-nosed people like Wheeler Yuta. Yuta understood what it meant to sacrifice, and he understood what it meant to be a Philadelphia hero.

Action Andretti came out to the ring. He was tired of Yuta claiming to be a hometown hero because he didn’t represent Philadelphia like Andretti did. Andretti challenged any one of them to a fight right now, leading to PAC jumping him from behind. Moxley and crew made their way to ringside, and Bryce Remsburg came into the ring to start the match.

PAC (w/ Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, & Marina Shafir) defeated Action Andretti

(The match was an enhancement match for PAC, but the segment was a good bit of build for the World Title match. Wheeler Yuta continues to be the most interesting aspect of this story, as he continues to waver in his allegiance to Moxley.)

PAC stomped out Andretti through the commercial break. Andretti came back with a handspring elbow, then followed up with a dive to the floor. Andretti had a flurry of offense that ended with a Falcon Arrow for a nearfall. Yuta distracted the referee as Shafir hit Andretti in the ankle with the briefcase. PAC brought Andretti down with a superplex before snatching on the Brutalizer for the win.

PAC held onto the hold after the bell as the BCC surrounded Andretti. Orange Cassidy appeared in the crowd. He reminded Yuta of their past, living in his and Chuck Taylor’s house when he fell on hard times. The old Wheeler Yuta wouldn’t have allowed the attack on Taylor, and the old Yuta would have realized that Moxley was only using him. He said that he would bring back the old Yuta and stop Moxley’s madness by winning the title at Full Gear.

Moxley told Yuta to go get Cassidy. When Yuta hesitated, Moxley smacked him in the face and told him to go again. Yuta went after Cassidy but hesitated when they came face to face. Cassidy pulled the chair away, then hit the Orange Punch when Yuta went to attack. Moxley was furious and went after Cassidy, but he left through the stands.

Malakai Black was in the House of Black’s rumpus room. He said that when people have sat dormant for too long, they become worse versions of themselves. Black had sat dormant for too long, which is why he stepped up to Adam Cole. He said that he saw people like himself and Cole becoming relics in a rapidly changing AEW, and challenged Cole to fight off the darkness that had already consumed Black.

Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher were backstage with Lexy Nair. Fletcher was tired of dealing with the past and was looking toward the future alongside Takeshita. He reminded Private Party that Takeshita & Fletcher beat them earlier in the year, and wanted to move toward a tag team title match. They challenged Ricochet to find a partner to take them on for Dynamite.

Lio Rush defeated Ariya Daivari

Daivari jumped Rush at the bell, but Rush quickly came back with a headscissors. Rush clubbered on Daivari in the corner to the point where the referee had to pull him off, allowing Daivari to clothesline Daivari. Rush outmanuevered Daivari for a flash pin, but Daivari came back with a reverse DDT for a nearfall. Rush came back with a lariat and a Falcon Arrow for a nearfall.

Rush went for a dive, but Daivari threw Woods in the way. Another dive attempt took out Mark Sterling before Rush caught Daivari with a headscissors. Daivari caught Rush with a DDT, but Rush came back with Rush Hour and a frog splash to score the win.

MxM Collection & Johnny TV were backstage with Lexy Nair. Johnny said that MxM had “it,” and offered them a collab any time. Collab is short for collaboration, for those unaware.

Roderick Strong (w/ The Kingdom) defeated Shane Taylor (w/ Lee Moriarty & The Infantry)

(A solid TV win for Strong as he tries to get his hands on MJF as well.)

The Infantry joined Shane Taylor Promotions on a recent episode of Ring of Honor television. Taylor snuck a body shot in as they were against the ropes. MJF was seen watching on, somehow having a live camera in his house. Taylor and Strong hammered each other with chops as their respective units barked at each other on the floor. Strong went to the floor, but it was to bait Taylor for a baseball slide. Taylor caught Strong with a forearm, then hung him over the ropes before dropping him with a stunner.

After a commercial break, Taylor was still in control as the crowd chanted Strong’s name. Strong evaded an apron leg drop and dropkicked Taylor to the floor. Strong hit a set of flying forearms before taking Taylor down with a lariat for a one-count. Taylor was too big for an Olympic Slam, but a Sick Kick softened him up for a successful second attempt and a nearfall. Taylor evaded a knockout knee, then yanked Strong up into a uranage. A splash from Taylor got a nearfall, but Strong slipped out of the package piledriver and scored the win with a knockout knee. An unimpressed MJF watched on.

We got footage of Bobby Lashley’s debut on Wednesday with the Hurt Syndicate. The Hurt Syndicate was announced for an appearance on Dynamite.

It was announced that Private Party would defend their tag team titles in a four-way match at Full Gear. The teams will be determined in a series of qualifying matches. Those matches will be The Outrunners vs. Top Flight on next week’s Collision, FTR vs. The House of Black on the November 13th Dynamite, and La Faccion Ingobernable vs. The Acclaimed on the November 16th Collision.

Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher vs. Ricochet & a mystery partner was made official for Wednesday’s Dynamite.

We got a Mina Shirakawa video package, noting that Mina Is Coming. Good for her.

AEW Women’s World Title Match – Mariah May defeated Anna Jay to retain

(This was what you would expect it to be. The crowd got into Jay well enough, and the Queenslayer nearfall did get interesting after a point. A solid TV defense for May.)

They paint-brushed each other in the corner before locking up. Jay hit a Dangerous Jay kick in the corner before May came back with a back suplex into the corner. Jay fired up with strikes after a commercial break. A shotgun dropkick sent May into the corner, and after a pinning predicament, Jay hit a lungblower and a backstabber for a nearfall.

Jay hit another pair of kicks in the corner but May caught Jay with a choke on the top rope. May hammered Jay with a shotgun dropkick off the top rope. May hit a high-angle back suplex for a nearfall. May caught Jay with a headbutt and a running knee for a nearfall. Jay went for the same flash pin that earned her this title match but May fought out of it.

Jay caught May with a neckbreaker in the ropes, then followed up with a blockbuster for a nearfall. Jay snatched on the Queenslayer choke, and after some fight, May grabbed the referee’s shirt to escape the hold. May dropped Jay neck-first onto the ropes, then caught Jay with a flash pin of her own to score the win and retain the title. May offered a handshake but pulled her hand away to celebrate on the stage.

Two new matches, Swerve Strickland’s return booked for AEW WrestleDream

Posted on by Josh Nason

The next challenger for AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May is set for Saturday’s WrestleDream following the Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite.

Former CMLL Women’s Champion and 2024 Owen Hart Foundation tournament winner Willow Nightingale will get the nod after winning a four-way that included Saraya, Nyla Rose and Jamie Hayter.

Nightingale got the win after hitting a Samoan drop on Saraya through a table, followed by her pinning Saraya and Harley Cameron who had interfered in the match repeatedly.

Britt Baker was set to face Nightingale for the shot, but Baker had to withdraw due to illness.

Nightingale defeated May in the finals of the aforementioned tournament. The champion will be looking for the third defense of the title she won at August’s All In.

**********

For the first time since losing to Hangman Page in a cage match at September’s All Out, former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland will return at this Saturday’s pay-per-view.

The return was announced via a vignette on Tuesday. In recent weeks, new signee MVP has targeted Prince Nana, wanting to talk “business’ with Strickland and blaming Nana for his recent woes. MVP and another new signee, Shelton Benjamin, were shown watching the vignette backstage.

Former AEW World Champion Hangman Page will battle old rival Jay White in another new match.

White made his in-ring return Wednesday and after picking up an easy win, he called out Page for a match Saturday after the two brawled and put Page through a table last Wednesday.

White made his return last week after being out since July with a foot injury. His last match was against Page who picked up the win that night in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament. The two have a history dating back to 2017 in Ring of Honor, continued in NJPW and returned in AEW.

White defeated Page in their first AEW match in October 2023.
