Continental Classic Gold League: “Jungle” Jack Perry (3 points) def. “Speedball” Mike Bailey (6 points)
We opened up the second half of AEW Collision Holiday Bash with a first-time matchup in the Continental Classic. Bailey’s speed was a problem for Perry in the early moments, as he was still dealing with an ankle issue. Perry came back with chops and a suplex, but Bailey lit him up with kicks, which sent Perry to the outside. Before Bailey could pick up momentum, Perry pulled him to the outside. Perry went back in for a dive of his own, but Bailey sprang to the middle rope to avoid Perry and then executed a beautiful moonsault all in one motion. Spectacular stuff from Speedball!
Bailey went to the top, so Perry bailed back to the outside, and Bailey followed only to run into a back elbow, which gave Perry the opening to deposit Bailey back-first on the steel steps! Perry punished Bailey on the outside with more chops until they returned to the ring as we went to commercial!
A kick combo led into a standing shooting star press, which gave Bailey a two-count on Perry. He scaled the ropes again and missed another shooting star press but landed on his feet. The two battled on the apron until Bailey swept Perry’s bad ankle. He tried the backflip knees, but Perry moved, and Bailey got nothing but the corner of the apron. Perry immediately took advantage with a running destroyer on the apron! However, Perry seemed to do more damage to his own ankle as he limped up, threw Bailey back in the ring, and went to the top. Bailey met up, so Perry fought him off and then missed a stomp, which further exacerbated his injury.
Bailey kicked Perry into the corner and tried for a roundhouse kick, but Perry was ready for it and threw Bailey over his head into the corner. Perry tried a bridging German suplex, although he couldn’t get all of the torque needed on his bad wheel, which allowed Bailey to kick out. Bailey caught a running Perry with a kick to the chin and set him up for a Flamingo Driver, but Perry escaped over his back to get a near-fall. The two battled for position on the mat until Perry locked in the Snaretrap, but Bailey got to the ropes. Perry tried it again, only for Bailey to trap him in a pinning predicament that Perry escaped with a shove.
Bailey hit two big shots on Perry and tried for the backflip knees again, but Perry desperately threw up his own knees to block the move. Bailey got back up with a thrust kick to Perry’s face, followed by a spinning kick in the corner. He went for the Ultima Weapon from the top, so Perry moved and then bit Bailey’s foot! He hit a back-drop suplex to score the pinfall and his first three points of the Continental Classic! A festively dressed LuchaClaus made his way to the ring to celebrate with Perry and a sack of gifts, as Speedball and Perry embraced after a hard-fought battle!
Eddie Kingston def. Nathan Cruz
“The Professional” Nathan Cruz was in the ring alongside the Grizzled Young Veterans as we heard the music of Eddie Kingston, much to the delight of the raucous crowd in attendance! Kingston walked right through Zack Gibson and James Drake on the outside, so they pulled him off the apron and attacked behind the referee’s back.
They threw Kingston in, and Cruz tried to go on the attack, but Kingston nailed a chop, and the bell rang, so we were underway! Cruz came back with a rebound suplex, and Kingston was in early trouble. Cruz crashed onto Kingston as he was draped across the middle rope, and Gibson got another shot in with the referee distracted. Cruz tried it again, but Kingston moved, so Cruz got the second rope between the Christmas jewels! Kingston worked Cruz into the corner and lit him up with machine gun chops! Kingston hit a reverse neckbreaker, but GYV got on the apron to stop a pin attempt. Cruz rolled up Kingston for a two-count, but Kingston came back with an exploder suplex and a DDT to get the win!
We were then treated to an outstanding highlight package recapping the recent events in the 2025 AEW Continental Classic.
Rev Pro Undisputed British Women’s Championship Open Challenge: Alex Windsor def. Mercedes Moné (c) -– NEW CHAMPION
Alex Windsor answered Moné’s open challenge in her home country! Windsor’s 769 days in her previous reign as the Rev Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion is the record for the title, so Windsor knows what it means to be a dominant champion. Plus, Windsor and Moné battled over the summer for the TBS Championship, so they know each other well.
Windsor stunned Moné with a shotgun dropkick at the bell and remained in control with a Russian leg sweep and a seated lariat to get an early nearfall. Windsor quickly locked in the Sharpshooter, but Moné got to the ropes. On the way up, she grabbed Windsor’s hair and pulled her onto the apron. Moné went for a running meteora, so Windsor rolled through it right back into the Sharpshooter on the apron! Windsor released the hold and tried to get Moné back in the ring, but when Moné tried to reverse it, Windsor spun her into a Blue Thunder Bomb!
Back in the ring, Moné avoided a charge in the corner with a backstabber and threw Windsor shoulder-first into the ring post. She nailed a kick to the side of Windsor’s head and had put herself in control for the next several minutes as we went to commercial. Back from the break, Moné tried for Three Amigos, but Windsor anticipated the third and ran Moné into the corner. Windsor charged, so Moné used her legs to send Windsor into the second turnbuckle. Moné tried to come off the rope, but Windsor met her with a headbutt!
Windsor hit a draping neckbreaker from the second rope and then a draping DDT. She tried for a Sharpshooter, but Moné rolled it into a pin attempt. Moné was locked in the Statement Maker, but Windsor rolled through it and got to her feet. Moné escaped with a crucifix bomb and then a knee strike on the ropes, but it only got a two count.
Moné brought Windsor to the corner and tried to hit a tornado DDT from the top rope, but Windsor hung on and put Moné back on the top turnbuckle. Windsor met her up there and came down with an avalanche Blue Thunder Bomb, but Moné kicked out just in time! Moné fought out of Windsor’s grasp with elbows and went back to the Statement Maker. Windsor got out and rolled up into a Sharpshooter attempt, so Moné kicked her away. Moné tried a sunset flip, but Windsor sat down for a one count. Moné came back up to go for the Moné Maker, so Windsor slipped out and trapped Moné in a pin to get the three count. WINDSOR IS THE NEW REV PRO UNDISPUTED BRITISH WOMEN’S CHAMPION! As Moné cried while clutching the TBS Championship, Windsor’s son came in the ring to celebrate!
We were then treated to a package recapping the surprise return of MJF during the contract signing for what was the 3-Way Match for the AEW World Championship at Worlds End, which is now instead a 4-Way Match with MJF having signed his Casino Gauntlet contract!
Continental Classic Gold League: “The Jet” Kevin Knight (6 points) def. AEW Unified Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada (6 points)
The main event was only the second-ever meeting between Okada and Knight, as Okada won an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator against Knight back in May. Don Callis joined the commentary desk for the C2 Gold League showdown.
A feeling-out process included both men going for their signature dropkicks to no avail. Okada backed Knight into the ropes and let him free with some patronizing slaps to the chest. Knight mimicked Okada’s Rainmaker pose, complete with a middle finger! Okada charged, so Knight low-bridged him to the floor and followed with a springboard, but landed on his feet when Okada moved. The two exchanged forearms to a stalemate and decided to return to the ring and continued the back-and-forth until Okada knocked Knight to a knee. Knight escaped a Rainmaker by leaping over Okada’s swinging arm! Knight avoided a dropkick by hanging onto the ropes and went back into a striking battle. Both men took their positions on the opposite aprons to potentially springboard across and into each other, but Okada faked it and laughed as Knight landed on his feet. Knight answered with a dropkick that sent Okada to the floor. Knight jumped up to the top rope and threw caution to the wind with a leaping clothesline to Okada on the floor!
Knight stalked Okada around the ring until he was baited into a kick and a DDT on the floor! And now the greatest tournament wrestler of all time had Knight where he wanted him. After some chops on the outside, Okada brought Knight back in and slowed the pace considerably, as he grounded The Jet. Knight escaped an attack in the corner and nailed a crossbody. Knight came back with uppercuts and a leaping clothesline. Knight hit a jumping clothesline in the corner, followed by a body slam and a standing splash to get a two-count. Knight tried for a pendulum DDT, so Okada deposited him on the apron. When Knight tried to springboard, Okada shoved the referee into the ropes, and Knight crashed to the mat. Okada hit a neckbreaker at the 10-minute mark and followed with a bodyslam. He scaled the ropes and dropped his patented elbow before the Rainmaker pose. He picked up Knight for the Rainmaker, but Knight elbowed out and turned a backslide into a sky-high powerbomb for a two count. Knight went back to the top, but his UFO Splash landed on Okada’s knees.
Okada hit a modified Rainmaker and kept wrist control, but Knight ducked the second attempt at the Rainmaker, so Okada hit a picture-perfect dropkick! Okada picked up Knight for another Rainmaker, so Knight pushed him off and hit his own dropkick! Knight came back with a spike DDT and hit a springboard clothesline for a very close two-count. With Okada sitting in the corner, Knight scaled the adjacent turnbuckle looking for coast-to-coast, but when Knight left his feet, Okada sprang up and met Knight with a dropkick! Okada immediately grabbed Knight for another Rainmaker, but Knight stopped the momentum, which Okada turned into a wheelbarrow suplex. Okada tried to pick Knight up, but Knight grabbed a cradle for the three-count! Okada and Callis are shocked! Kevin Knight just defeated Kazuchika Okada! We now have a five-way tie atop the Gold League! What a way to finish the Holiday Bash!
