We were back in Portland, Oregon, for another wild night of action, because it was the return of AEW Playoff Palooza on TBS and HBO Max! Two championships were on the line, and the road to Double or Nothing continued to heat up, less than a month away from our return to New York City for one of the biggest events of the year.
AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR decided they wanted to open Collision so they could accept the challenge of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage to face them for the AEW World Tag Team Titles at Double or Nothing in a New York Street Fight. But if FTR wins, Cage and Cope must retire as a team. After Cash Wheeler accepted, Dax Harwood said they also wanted to make it an “I Quit” Match!
The Don Callis Family had two shots to win gold on Saturday night. First, Lance Archer, CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Hechicero and Andrade El Ídolo challenged The Conglomeration for the AEW World Trios Titles. Still, in the end, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly came away with their first championship defense. Later, “Jungle” Jack Perry defended the AEW National Championship against El Clon and also walked away with a victory. 0-for-2 won’t make Don Callis happy.
Plus, The Dogs and Death Riders won a wild 10-man tag over the Young Bucks and The Rascalz, Anthony Bowens joined The Opps, and we found out what happened between Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley after Dynamite!
Playoff Palooza brought us plenty of highlights and newsworthy moments from Portland! Here are your complete Collision results!

The Conglomeration Deals with Stoke and FTR
AEW World Trios Champions The Conglomeration were all on the same page, as Roderick Strong thanked Orange Cassidy for his new shirt. Kyle O’Reilly was fired up to defend the AEW World Trios Titles for the first time, but he was interrupted by Stokely and AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR. Stoke said FTR had something important to say to Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. He didn’t know why O’Reilly, Cassidy and Strong were in a rush because everyone knows they are going to lose to Hechicero, Lance Archer and Andrade, whom he called close, personal friends, as he stuck his finger in each member of The Conglomeration’s chest. Stoke and FTR left to make their way to the ring.
FTR Want Cope & Cage to Say “I Quit” at Double or Nothing
Cash Wheeler called Cope’s challenge interesting and said bringing anything to the table was enticing, like the stipulation that if FTR wins, Cope and Cage can no longer team. Wheeler didn’t drag things out and accepted the challenge for Double or Nothing! Dax Harwood wondered how it is that Cope and Cage think they deserve the AEW World Tag Team Titles simply because of what they did 25 years ago. Harwood said no one wanted them here. The crowd booed that.
Harwood said Cope didn’t have to challenge their manhood to get this match; they just had to put their careers on the line. Harwood wanted to do one better, but the crowd was vocal about shutting him up. He continued to say he didn’t want any more questions or debates, so he proposed that the New York Street Fight for the AEW World Tag Team Titles at Double or Nothing now be an I Quit match as well!
AEW World Trios Championship Match: The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly) (c) def. Don Callis Family (Lance Archer, CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Hechicero and Andrade El Ídolo)
The Conglomeration made their entrance with Stoke and FTR still leaving the ringside area, so there was a confrontation on the ramp with Strong and O’Reilly shoving FTR to the ground. Cassidy reared back to hit Stokely, but he hit the ground out of fear. The Conglomeration continued to the ring for their championship defense.
O’Reilly started things off with Hechicero, as both men grappled on the mat, looking for an early advantage. Hechicero trapped O’Reilly in the ropes with a choke from the apron and nailed a dragon screw through the ropes. O’Reilly came back to kick Hechicero into the corner and tagged Strong to double-team Hechicero. Cassidy tagged in and went to the top rope, as Strong held Hechicero over his knee. But as we’ve seen quite often, Cassidy worked his way down the ropes and to the mat for an elbow drop to Hechicero, which he posed for accordingly. Archer didn’t find it as funny when he tagged in and stepped to Cassidy. Cassidy thought better of it and tagged Strong. Strong immediately chopped Archer, but Archer dropped him with a shoulder tackle.
Cassidy and Andrade tagged in at the same time. Andrade stopped Cassidy from putting his hand in his pockets. He feigned taking his pants off, so Cassidy kicked him in the shins with the usual OC intensity. Cassidy lined up for one more kick, but instead pulled Andrade’s belt off and tossed it aside. Andrade pulled up his pants and charged at Cassidy, who moved and pulled Andrade’s pants down to his ankles! Cassidy took Andrade down with a dropkick. O’Reilly tagged back in and mounted Andrade in the corner for punches. Strong tagged in for 10 punches of his own. Cassidy tagged in…for one punch. The stunned crowd chanted “HOLY SH*T!”
With Andrade on the floor, Cassidy lined up for a dive, but instead, O’Reilly came running down the apron with a flying knee to Andrade, who ducked, which left O’Reilly to get trucked by Archer on the floor!
The Don Callis Family isolated Cassidy in their corner, although Cassidy tried to fight all of them off to make a tag. Finally, after taking down Hechicero and Andrade, Cassidy sent Archer to the floor and tagged O’Reilly! O’Reilly came in, hitting anything that moved! He put Andrade on the mat with a leg sweep, so Hechicero tried to cut him off, only for Strong to make a blind tag. O’Reilly escaped Hechicero’s grasp with a pair of elbows and started to ping-pong with Strong to attack Hechicero Andrade in the corners. Strong used Cassidy as a weapon to batter Andrade and Hechicero. Archer goozled both Cassidy and Strong until O’Reilly kicked them free. Strong went after Hechicero and eventually got him up for a fireman’s carry slam after O’Reilly provided some assistance with a stiff kick. Strong covered, but Hechicero kicked out at two.
O’Reilly tagged back in, and Hechicero was sent to the ropes, where Andrade made a blind tag. Hechicero ducked under O’Reilly and Strong and sent each to a corner with Andrade. Hechicero hit a rising knee to Strong in one corner, and Andrade followed with a meteora to O’Reilly in the opposite corner. O’Reilly kicked out at two. Andrade went into Three Amigos, but O’Reilly blocked the third with a knee to the head and tagged Cassidy. Cassidy tried a tilt-a-whirl DDT, so Andrade blocked it, and Cassidy turned it into a near-fall. Cassidy fought hard for a Stundog Millionaire and connected, but Andrade tagged Archer, unbeknownst to Cassidy. Archer flattened Cassidy with a crossbody and chokeslammed O’Reilly onto Strong! Archer picked up Cassidy for Blackout, so Cassidy slipped behind him only for Archer to catch him again with a huge Hellacoaster! Strong and O’Reilly made the save on the pin!
After the ring cleared out a bit, Archer grabbed O’Reilly and Strong by the throat, so Cassidy grabbed Archer by the throat! Archer threw the two away and grabbed Cassidy, but when he lifted Cassidy for a chokeslam, Cassidy connected with a defensive Orange Punch in midair! O’Reilly and Strong nailed Archer with a combination, and Cassidy hit another Orange Punch. O’Reilly and Strong wiped Archer out with Total Elimination, and Strong threw Cassidy on top of Archer for the pinfall victory! The Conglomeration has its first successful defense of the AEW World Trios Championship!
What Happened to Will Ospreay After Dynamite?
We saw footage from after Dynamite that picked up with Claudio Castagnoli carrying Ospreay through an unknown building alongside Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta before dumping Ospreay in a chair opposite AEW Continental Champion Jox Moxley, who was already sitting in his own chair. Yuta threw water in Ospreay’s face and asked if he was awake. Marina Shafir put a towel around Ospreay’s neck and twisted it from behind in both directions, which appeared to give Ospreay some relief before a quick neck massage. Moxley commented that Shafir was good. With Castagnoli, Garcia, Yuta and Shafir standing by, Moxley started with a simple question to Ospreay…
“What is it you’re trying to accomplish? Other than breaking my neck? When you go to the ring, when you get up in the morning, where are you trying to go? Who are you trying to be? What is it you’re chasing? I don’t think you know the answers to those questions anymore. Almost seven years ago, I saw you for the first time. The power you yield, the ability you have. But this, your body, flesh, muscle, bone, will break eventually. You can try to run through the brick wall as many times as you want, but the wall’s not going anywhere. But if you step back and realize there’s a door, you can walk right through it and become whoever you want on the other side.”
Moxley pointed to his head and continued, “This. Trained and honed properly, it will not break. You take dominion over your mind. We can turn you into a weapon like professional wrestling has never seen. This thing <Moxley pointed between the two of them> has got to come to a head one way or another.”
Moxley slipped a chair across the floor to Ospreay as the rest of the Death Riders walked away and said, “We can settle up, and you can be just like everybody else. Or you can become everything you are meant to be. Your choice.”
And with that, Moxley lay face down on the cement floor with his hands behind his back. Ospreay cautiously picked up the chair and then said to the camera, “Get out. Now!” The camera shut off, and we were left wondering what else happened between Moxley and Ospreay.
Death Riders (Daniel Garcia, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) & The Dogs (David Finlay and Clark Connors) def. Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) & The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier and Myron Reed)
After what we just saw, Moxley joined the commentary team for this 10-man tag. The Dogs harassed a member of the production crew before making their way down the ramp. Moxley said the Dogs align with the Death Riders' values and that Gabe Kidd has been a valuable ally. The mood changed considerably during the entrances of The Rascalz and the Young Bucks. Tony Schiavone asked Moxley what happened with Will Ospreay after the camera cut off in the footage we just saw, and Moxley said that didn’t need to be addressed and that the rest was up to Ospreay.
Xavier and Yuta opened this match for their respective sides, but it quickly broke down into a 10-man brawl, with Xavier finding himself on the wrong end of a 5-on-1 conveyor belt attack in the corner. Nick Jackson came off the top, but Castagnoli caught him and nailed a backbreaker. Nick started to get the same 5-on-1 treatment until he avoided Garcia in the corner. Everyone else was pulled to the outside, so Garcia found himself on the wrong end of some quick triple-team offense from The Rascalz. Castagnoli ate a pair of superkicks from the Bucks and then an assisted stomp on the back from The Rascalz. The Bucks hit a double boot/dive combo to the outside, and that fired the crowd up in Portland!
Back in the ring, Castagnoli put Wentz into a Sharpshooter. Garcia put Reed in a Dragon Tamer. The Bucks were sent to the apron but came back in with sunset flips over The Dogs. They put Finlay and Connors in Sharpshooters of their own! In the middle of it all, Xavier and Yuta traded near-falls! Xavier nailed a spinning DDT and tried for the pin, which was enough for Garcia to release his hold and break up the fall. Garcia ate a double-team neckbreaker from the Bucks only for Castagnoli to take them both down. Xavier knocked Castagnoli to the floor and went to the top rope. Yuta cut him off and brought Xavier back down with a stalling suplex! Moxley wanted Yuta to pose, but instead, he tagged Finlay, who brought in Connors for a stungun/shoulder tackle combo!
Xavier escaped to make the tag to Wentz. He unloaded on Garcia and used a midair leg trip followed by a German Suplex to send Garcia to the corner. Yuta tagged in and ate a bunch of strikes and kicks from Wentz. Wentz got pulled to the floor, so Reed came in and nailed a superkick on Yuta. The Rascalz pinballed Yuta around with some lightning-fast offense, but Yuta managed to kick out of Reed’s pin attempt. Yuta bit Reed’s head and then ate a spin kick to the head. Yuta bounced back and tried a German Suplex, but Reed landed on his feet and nailed a cutter out of nowhere! Moxley was fired up on commentary! “This is what we live for!”
Nick tagged in and handled both of The Dogs with a headscissors/armdrag combo! Matt tagged in to hit a pair of Northern Lights suplexes on Finlay and Connors and then a double on Garcia and Yuta! Wow! Castagnoli floored Matt with a clothesline and blocked a superkick by Nick, but they stopped a pop-up uppercut with more superkicks! Connors got a double sunset flip from the Bucks, which left him kneeling on the mat. The Bucks hit superkicks as The Rascalz flipped Xavier over as all three kicked Connors on the way down for an amazing 5-on-1 attack! Matt nailed an elbow from the top. Nick followed with a senton. Wentz hit a Spiral Tap. Reed hit a No Cap Splash! Xavier came off the top, but was cut off by Castagnoli, who yanked Xavier into a giant swing into a Yuta dropkick.
The Bucks reversed Castagnoli and Yuta into a double bulldog. Finlay got kicked to the mat, but ducked a BTE Trigger and took out the Bucks with a big elbow strike and a backbreaker! Wentz hit Finlay with a springboard corkscrew kick and clotheslined Finlay over the top so hard that Wentz went along for the ride. Castagnoli grabbed Nick on the apron and press-slammed him onto Matt. Reed came over the top with a cutter on Castagnoli, putting them all on the floor! Xavier connected on a big moonsault from the top to the floor! Back in the ring, Wentz hit a rising knee on Connors in the corner and put him on the top turnbuckle. Finlay came in, so Wentz dove off to hit him with a cutter! Yuta saved Finlay from a suplex, so Finlay lifted Wentz back up, and Connors came off the top with Fallout to get the pinfall victory!
Shida Wants to Take the Tag Team Titles from Divine Dominion with Stat!
Lexy Nair was with Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, Harley Cameron and Mina Shirakawa. Cameron acknowledged that Statlander said she wouldn’t train her, but as she started to bring up what Shida said behind her back, Shirakawa interjected and demanded Shida apologize. Shida said she would talk directly to Cameron’s face. “You’re not on our level. You’ve never been on our level. And if you don’t believe that, my good friend Stat and I will do what you couldn’t do and beat Divine Dominion for the tag team titles!”
Shirakawa asked Stat how she could trust Shida. Shida stepped in and argued in Japanese, but Cameron responded with her own Japanese! Statlander left for her match, as Shida and Shirakawa continued to argue.
Kris Statlander def. B3CCA
B3CCA attacked at the bell and got in a few shots, but Statlander quickly stopped that with a back elbow and a knee to the face. Statlander catapulted B3CCA into the middle turnbuckle and hit a running uppercut, but B3CCA stopped Stat with a high boot and went to the apron for a running knee and a thrust kick. B3CCA hit a dropkick from the top rope to Stat on the apron! Back in the ring, Statlander grabbed B3CCA for Staturday Night Fever, but B3CCA escaped with strikes until Statlander stopped her with one big strike. Statlander bounced off the ropes right into a Flatliner from B3CCA! B3CCA locked in a vice on Statlander’s head, but Statlander quickly slipped out and stood up to hit a Staturday Night Fever for the win! Statlander walked by the open arms of Shida on her way up the ramp.
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Divine Dominion Respond to Hikaru Shida
In the back, Lexy Nair asked “Colossal” Lena Kross and “Megasus” Megan Bayne for a response to Shida’s declaration. Kross wondered why they should be worried. They’ve been ready and waiting. Bayne isn’t worried about another thrown-together tag team. Kross said they have more than the titles. They have an understanding that there aren’t two other women in this realm who look like they do, move like they do and destroy like they do.
“It’s not a challenge. It’s your fate. Accept it.”
La Facción Ingobernable’s RUSH def. Adam Priest
The crowd seemed firmly behind RUSH at the bell, as he kicked away a handshake offering from Priest. Priest tried to trade with RUSH and was standing his ground until RUSH put him on the ropes. Priest came back with a dropkick, which seemed to anger RUSH. He chopped Priest to size and stomped him in the corner. RUSH continued with headbutts and pulled up short running into the corner just to kick Priest anyway. RUSH posed to admire his work.
Back from the break, Priest came off the top with a leg drop from the top rope for a near-fall! RUSH turned things around with a rebound German Suplex, followed by a knee to the face that put Priest on the floor. RUSH threw Priest into the barricade and slammed him off the commentary desk. He continued to use the barricades to punish RUSH before stomping him on the floor. RUSH threw Priest back in the ring and hammered him in the corner. RUSH charged up to hit Bull’s Horns and connected! RUSH pulled Priest out of the corner, wiped his hands and covered Priest for the pinfall victory!
RUSH got on the mic to remind everyone, “When you mess with the bull, you get the horns!”
Konosuke Takeshita Speaks, and Kazuchika Okada Responds
Takeshita addressed AEW International Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada and said that, out of respect for Don Callis and the Don Callis Family, he had tried to avoid this, but if Okada really wants to face Takeshita at Double or Nothing, “I will happily take your title, bitch.”
Tonight at Collision, Okada responded to Takeshita, “I don’t fear you. I don’t like you. I don’t respect you.” Okada’s voice became louder and angrier as he switched to speaking Japanese. He closed out by saying, “At Double or Nothing, YOU LOSE!”
AEW Women’s World Champion “The Toxic Spider” Thekla & Skye Blue of Triangle of Madness def. NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Alex Windsor of Brawling Birds & CMLL World Women’s Champion Persephone
It looked like Thekla would start things with Windsor, but she immediately tagged out to Blue. Blue threw Windsor to the mat by her hair, so Windsor came back to get into a chop fight with Blue. Windsor used misdirection to get away from Blue and put her down with a shoulder tackle. Thekla came in from behind to hit Windsor in the back of the head. Persephone took exception to that and got in the ring to chop Thekla to the corner. Windsor threw Blue out of the opposite corner to collide with Thekla in the middle of the ring.
Windsor clotheslined Blue in the corner and tagged Persephone. The two did a tribute to the injured Jamie Hayter with some Brawling Birds double-team chops until Thekla cut them off. They kicked her to the mat, and Persephone sent Thekla to the floor with a thrust kick to the side of the head. Persephone got a near-fall on Blue after a dropkick and tagged Windsor. Windsor pounded away on Blue until Thekla tripped Windsor behind the referee’s back. Blue took advantage with a rising knee to Windsor’s back! Thekla came down the apron with a knee of her own to Windsor and stomped the NJPW Strong Women’s Champion in the back to continue the assault!
With Windsor in trouble, Thekla and Blue kept her away from Persephone for the next few minutes. Windsor looked to have an opening, but Blue tagged back in and knocked Persephone from the apron. Blue sent Windsor to the corner, right into a kick from Thekla. Thekla locked Windsor over the ropes in a tarantula, which allowed Blue to nail Windsor with a running kick. Windsor kicked out at two! Blue tried to cut off a flurry from Windsor, so Windsor leveled Blue with a desperation lariat. Persephone tagged in and quickly disposed of Blue. She caught Thekla for a fallaway slam and celebrated along with the crowd!
Thekla escaped Persephone’s grasp to tag Blue. Persephone rolled up Blue for a near-fall, and on the kickout, Windsor tagged back in. Blue sent Persephone into a forearm from Thekla and put Windsor in the opposite corner. They sent Persephone into Windsor, who lifted Persephone onto the apron and then leveled Blue and Thekla with a diving double clothesline! Persephone came off the top with a crossbody/elbow combo to Blue and Thekla. Windsor put Blue on the mat with a big lariat, but only got a two-count. Blue blocked a strike and stunned Windsor with a crescent kick. She went for Code Blue, but Persephone stopped it with a kick. Thekla speared Persephone only to eat a release Blue Thunder Bomb from Windsor.
Windsor knocked Blue down with a headbutt and tagged in Persephone. Persephone charged at Blue in the corner, so Blue moved, only for Persephone to turn it around with a bridging German suplex into a pin, broken up by Thekla! Windsor and Thekla fought on the floor while in the ring. Persephone stopped a Blue charge with a big boot and followed with a shotgun dropkick from the top rope. Persephone was fired up! She lifted Blue for a Crucifix Powerbomb at the same time Thekla distracted the referee. That allowed Julia Hart to enter the ring and spray black mist into Persephone’s eyes! Blue took advantage of the blinded Persephone with a Code Blue to get the pinfall victory for her team!
MJF Challenges “The Jet” Kevin Knight for the TNT Title on Dynamite!
This past Wednesday on Dynamite, MJF demanded Darby Allin come out and give him back the AEW World Championship. Instead, MJF got Knight, who reminded MJF that Knight got screwed out of the AEW World Title when he challenged MJF for it last month. Knight wanted to face MJF again, but MJF said he’d only do it if the TNT Title was on the line. They were about to have the match right then and there, but MJF left before the bell and said he’d see Knight next week. So this Wednesday on Dynamite in Fairfax, Virginia, it’s Knight vs. MJF for the TNT Championship!
AEW National Championship Match: “Jungle” Jack Perry (c) def. El Clon of the Don Callis Family
After the Don Callis Family failed to capture the AEW World Trios Titles from The Conglomeration earlier in the night, El Clon had another chance to bring gold to the Family. The lively Portland crowd created quite the atmosphere for Perry’s entrance. Both men played to the crowd at the bell, although they were more in favor of the AEW Nation Champion.
Perry knocked Clon to the floor with a dropkick and went for a springboard crossbody, but Clon was ready with a knee to Perry’s face! Clon trapped Perry in the ring skirt and clobbered him before walking away to reveal his eyes in a chilling sight! Clon turned around to hit a basement dropkick on Perry, who was still under the ring skirt. Clon stomped Perry near the stairs and went to the ring to break the count. When he came back out, Perry reversed Clon into the ring post and then connected with a swinging kick around the post! Back in the ring, Perry pulled Clon out of the corner with a sitout powerbomb to get a two-count. Clon slipped free of Perry and hung him up on the ropes. Clon kicked the ropes into Perry’s face before connecting on a running lariat! Clon celebrated the control he had just taken in the match!
After Clon seemed to be overwhelming Perry, Perry came back with a superplex out of desperation to get himself back into the match! The crowd chanted, “LET’S GO JACK!”
Clon and Perry traded chops, but Clon stopped that with a quick flurry to send Perry to the corner. Clon charged, so Perry reversed into a Sliced Bread #2 for a near-fall! Clon caught Perry with a back heel kick, only for Perry to come back with a Canadian Destroyer for another near-fall! Perry lined up for his running knee, but Clon tripped him to the mat and flipped Perry into a knee to the face! Perry kicked out just in time! We nearly had a new AEW National Champion!
Perry sidestepped Clon’s running knee attempt, so Clon came back with a fallaway Pele kick. Perry reversed a powerbomb into a hurricanrana for a near-fall! Clon nearly snapped Perry in half with a tilt-a-whirl backstabber and quickly followed with Hecho en Mexico! Perry somehow kicked out! Clon tried a step-up moonsault from the ropes, so Perry got his knees up to stop it. He threw Clon across the ring with a release German Suplex and finally connected with his running knee strike to get the pinfall victory and successful AEW National Championship defense!
TBS Champion Willow Nightingale Accepts Being “The Comeback Killer”
Nightingale acknowledged her newest nickname, “The Comeback Killer,” following successful TBS Title defenses against Hikaru Shida, Queen Aminata and Kamille, all in their first matches back from extended absences. She knows how hard it is to come back from injury, but if you want to come back at her expense, she’ll show why she accepted her nickname. Shida, Aminata and Kamille all found out. No matter where you are, she is your TBS Champion, the Face of TBS.
“I am Willow Nightingale, and I am at your service.”
Anthony Bowens Joins The Opps!
Katsuyori Shibata was back on camera duty as Samoa Joe and HOOK walked around backstage. HOOK said he’s been holding it down and recruiting. Anthony Bowens showed up and gave a brief greeting to Joe before demanding that HOOK give him an answer on whether Bowens was in or out of The Opps. HOOK told him to settle down, and there’s one problem: there are no more vacancies in The Opps. Joe asked Bowens if he had heard HOOK and said, “Was he not clear enough? There are no more vacancies in The Opps! It looks like we’ve found our newest one.”
Before leaving, Joe slapped hands with Bowens and said, “Welcome. Pull your weight.”
HOOK told Bowens he passed the test and welcomed him to The Opps.
The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) def. Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin)
While Portland may not have had any love for The Demand, they showed plenty to both The Hurt Syndicate and Jericho during their main event entrances, including a massive “Judas” singalong! MVP joined commentary for this huge Trios match. Jericho grabbed a “BALD” sign from the crowd!
Jericho and Ricochet opened the match for a few seconds, but Kaun tagged in, and both he and Liona entered. Lashley and Benjamin did the same, and all six men went at it! Jericho hit a sliding dropkick to Ricochet on the floor while Lashley cleared Kaun with a running knee and a clothesline over the top. Benjamin spiked Liona with a DDT. Jericho went to the top and dove onto all three members of The Demand on the floor! Jericho ran around the ring, firing up the crowd!
However, it didn’t take long for Ricochet to turn things around when Jericho was sent into the barricade. Back in the ring, Jericho escaped Ricochet with a back body drop, but Ricochet tagged Kaun before Jericho could make it to his corner. Jericho clapped his way out of a bear hug and tagged Lashley. He took down Kaun and went to the apron to give Ricochet and Liona some, as well! With Ricochet in one corner and Kaun in the other, Lashley hit them with gut shots and then dropped Ricochet with a jumping Flatliner! Lashley hit a spinning Dominator, but Liona came in to break up the pin. Lashley sent Liona over the top rope and tagged Benjamin.
Benjamin hit two German Suplexes on Kaun, and when Liona tried to come back in, Benjamin knocked him back to the floor with a running knee. Benjamin hit Kaun with a third German Suplex! Benjamin caught Ricochet coming off the top and gave him a German Suplex!
Jericho put Ricochet in the Walls of Jericho, but Liona stopped it. Jericho went for the Walls on Liona and had no chance with the size of those legs. Ricochet threw Jericho to the corner. Lashley threw Ricochet to the other corner. Liona pulled Lashley from the ring and squashed him with a Samoan drop on the floor. Jericho mounted Ricochet for 10 punches in the corner and finished him off with an avalanche hurricanrana! Kaun dropped Jericho with a big overhand right. Kaun went to the top, but Benjamin ran up to meet him and sent him crashing to the mat with a super exploder! Lashley speared Liona! Jericho nailed Ricochet with a Codebreaker! Ricochet kicked out at two! The crowd cheered for Jericho!
Ricochet got a near-fall on a backslide and connected on a knee strike. Benjamin lifted Ricochet high into the air for a flapjack. Kaun kicked Benjamin into the corner. Lashley speared Kaun! Liona pounced on Lashley to the floor! Jericho avoided Liona in the corner and sent him over the top to the floor! Jericho put Ricochet in the Walls of Jericho in the middle of the ring! Liona pulled Ricochet to the ropes while Kaun distracted the referee. Lashley threw Liona into the barricade on one side while Benjamin did the same to Kaun. Back in the ring, Ricochet nailed a low blow out of the view of the referee and connected on the Ricosault for the pinfall victory! The Demand celebrated up the ramp to bring Collision Playoff Palooza to a close!
