AEW Collision Recap Tonight for Tucson

AEW World Tag Team Championship Match: FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) with Big Stoke (c) def. The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier) 

We started hot with the AEW World Tag Team Championship Match! Wentz and Wheeler started for their respective sides, as Stokely jawed with Tony Schiavone, who was just trying to do his job on commentary. Wheeler worked Wentz into the FTR corner, and Harwood tagged in, but Wentz escaped back to his corner before they could do any damage. Wentz worked Harwood to the mat, so Harwood got back to his feet and pushed Wentz into the corner to deliver a slap. Wentz came back with one of his own, and Harwood bailed to the floor to regroup!


Xavier tagged in for the first time, but Harwood quickly got him to the corner and unloaded with a pair of big strikes until Xavier fought out of it. Harwood cut off the comeback and tossed Xavier to the floor. While the referee was preoccupied in the ring, Stokely choked Xavier from the wheelchair. Xavier fought off both members of FTR until Wentz came out of nowhere with a tornillo over the top to the floor! After the two teams fought on the outside, Xavier got Harwood back into the ring and remained in control until he tagged in Wentz to come off the top onto Harwood’s arm. FTR lured Wentz to the outside for a misdirection that put him on the floor thanks to a massive clothesline! The champs were in control!


FTR worked right out of their typical playbook by cutting off the ring to keep Wentz away from a much-needed tag to Xavier. Wentz started to fight off both members of FTR, encouraged by the crowd, allowing him to get a couple of surprise near-falls on Harwood. Wheeler came in, but Wentz escaped FTR with some high-impact offense and finally tagged Xavier! Xavier unloaded on both members of FTR, including a stunner on Harwood and a big dropkick to send Wheeler to the floor. Harwood recovered and delivered a three-strike combo to put Xavier on the mat. Wentz returned to even the sides, and they nearly pinned both members of FTR at once with sunset flips! Wentz and Xavier hit stereo dives to Harwood and Wheeler on the floor! They threw Harwood back in so Xavier could come off the top with a frog splash, and Wentz followed with a swanton bomb. 1-2-Harwood kicked out, and the Rascalz were stunned!


Harwood escaped Wentz on the top rope and pulled him down on the turnbuckle. Meanwhile, Wheeler knocked Xavier off the top and then took him out with a dive to the outside! Back in the ring, Harwood hit an avalanche back suplex, but this time Wentz kicked out! Harwood and Wentz got back to their feet and started slugging it out before switching to chops. Wentz lit up Harwood and nearly took the match with a small package. Harwood grabbed Wentz from behind, so Wheeler came in, but Wentz back body dropped him and tagged Xavier. He superkicked Harwood into a German suplex from Wentz, but Harwood kicked out at the last moment! The Rascalz tried Hot Fire Flame, but Harwood got his knees up and rolled Wentz into a pinning predicament for a two-count. FTR picked up Wentz for their version of the Young Bucks’ BTE Trigger and connected! They tried to mock the Bucks again with a flipping piledriver, but Xavier pulled Wheeler off the apron. That allowed Wentz to roll Harwood up for a near-fall. Harwood ran into Xavier on the apron, which allowed Wentz to get another two-count on a rollup. Wentz nailed a combo on Harwood, but turned his back to go to the ropes and bounced right into a Shatter Machine! That was enough for the three-count, and FTR retained the AEW World Tag Team Titles!


As FTR made their exit, Mark Briscoe entered to do guest commentary for the next match. The old rivals exchanged a few words before going their separate ways.

Anthony Bowens Thinks He Can Be a Killer for The Opps

With Katsuyori Shibata manning the camera, HOOK continued his recruitment backstage, but Anthony Bowens quickly summoned him. Bowens said he thought a lot about what HOOK said last week, and that HOOK can be a “killer” if HOOK lets him show it. HOOK said that if Bowens wanted to show he could be a killer, then he should grab the camera from Shibata. Bowens questioned it until HOOK said to trust him. Bowens grabbed the camera and followed HOOK and Shibata. They went up to a random person and asked if he wrestled (yes!) and wanted to be part of The Opps (yes again!). Then, HOOK said, “Quick test. Show me how you get out of this.” HOOK put REDRUM on the guy, and he went to sleep quickly. Bowens asked if he should give the camera back to Shibata, but HOOK said to follow them as they continued walking backstage.

Daniel Garcia of the Death Riders def. “Psycho Killer” Tommaso Ciampa

Former TNT Champion Mark Briscoe was on commentary for this battle of two other former TNT Champions! Tucson was on fire for this first-time match before the bell even rang!


Ciampa frustrated Garcia at the outset, so he bailed to the outside. Garcia came back in and escaped an arm-wringer so he could slap Ciampa. That was a poor decision, as Ciampa whipped Garcia from corner to corner with chops, punctuating each trip. Ciampa mounted Garcia for punches in the corner, but stopped on the 10th punch to do Garcia’s old dance right in his face! 


Garcia didn’t like that, so he charged at Ciampa, but ran right into a big right hand followed by a neckbreaker. Garcia went to the apron, so Ciampa met him and tried a suplex. Garcia blocked it and hit a dragon whip over the ropes! Garcia pulled Ciampa to the corner and repeatedly slammed his left knee into the steel post! Garcia continued to target the knee with punishment all over the ringside area. 


Back in the ring, Garcia sat on the top turnbuckle and pulled Ciampa up with a choke! He let him go and posed, but when Garcia came off the top, Ciampa met him with a bicycle knee! Ciampa avoided a pair of clotheslines and hit one of his own before throwing Garcia to the floor. Garcia tried to rush back in, so Ciampa met him on the apron with a knee lift! With Garcia back on the floor, Ciampa went out after him and slammed his head into the announce table multiple times before slapping hands with an encouraging Briscoe.


Ciampa returned to the ring, but Garcia cut him off with a kick. Ciampa tried to slap his way out of Garcia’s grasp, but Garcia took him down with another dragon screw. Garcia was locked in a half crab, so Ciampa kicked out of it, which led to Garcia switching to a crossface. Ciampa bit Garcia to get out of it! Garcia came flying back with a shotgun dropkick and mounted Ciampa in the corner for punches. He paused after the ninth to taunt the crowd, but it cost him, as Ciampa grabbed him and nailed a huge Project Ciampa for a near-fall!


As Ciampa hobbled to the outside, Garcia took his leg out on the apron. With Ciampa down, Garcia jawed at Briscoe and then pie-faced him! Garcia went back to the ring, but got caught in a small package by Ciampa for a two-count! Briscoe got on the apron, so Garcia reversed a whip and sent Ciampa into Briscoe! Garcia caught Ciampa in a jackknife pin to get the three-count out of nowhere for the win! Briscoe entered the ring after the match, but Ciampa argued with him. Briscoe extended a hand to squash the beef, only for Ciampa to slap it away! As Briscoe went back up the ramp, FTR and Stoke went by him on their way back to the ring. Harwood and Wheeler got into a face-off with Ciampa, so Briscoe returned to have Ciampa’s back. FTR tried to cool things down with Briscoe as Ciampa left the ring. He got Briscoe to leave, and the two went back up the ramp together. As they got to the top, Ciampa grabbed Briscoe and ran him into the video boards! He dropped his kneepad and ran across the stage to put his knee across Briscoe’s head! Ciampa wiped Briscoe’s bandana on his backside and threw it on his crumpled body. FTR applauded what they saw from the ring.


Before they face off in the main event, we took a look back at the last time Claudio Castagnoli and Konosuke Takeshita met one-on-one, a time-limit draw in the Continental Classic last December. 

Swerve Strickland def. Gravity

Swerve controlled Gravity from the jump and quickly shut him down with a big boot. Gravity got some separation and went to the top, where he came off with an armdrag. That angered Swerve more than anything, so he chopped Gravity to the mat. Gravity backdropped out of Swerve’s grasp and kicked him in the back! Gravity went into his moonwalk and rolled Swerve into a near-fall. Gravity sent Swerve to the floor, so Swerve jumped on the apron to cut off Gravity’s dive attempt. Gravity slid under and tried a powerbomb, but Swerve hung onto the ropes and stomped Gravity on the apron!


Swerve walked down the apron with a kick to Gravity! He went to the floor and threw Gravity into the steel steps. Swerve tried to add insult to injury by ripping at Gravity’s mask! Swerve repeatedly slammed Gravity into the turnbuckles and then came off the top with a Swerve Stomp! Swerve finished Gravity off with a House Call for the pinfall victory! 

Kris Statlander Wants Another Shot at Thekla

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander spoke after Dynamite last week and reminded Thekla that they have each defeated the other. At Revolution, she wants to go to battle again in a two-out-of-three falls match for the AEW Women’s Championship! Statlander said Thekla’s killing is coming…twice!

AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla Responds To Kris Statlander

Thekla came out to the stage to repeatedly deny Statlander’s idea of a two-out-of-three falls match at Revolution. Thekla said she’s not listening to Statlander, and since when does the challenger get to make the match? On second thought, what makes Statlander think she can beat Thekla twice? All of a sudden, Statlander wears sunglasses because she can’t look Thekla in the eye? She wears leather like Thekla? Thekla took out Thunder Rosa, but now Statlander should take her own advice and be careful. Thekla draped herself over the top rope in a frightening pose, delivering one last chilling line.


“Everything you’re afraid of…IS EVERYTHING I AM!”

Preview of Close Up with Renee Paquette: AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley

Renee Paquette walked the streets with Jon Moxley and talked about his no-time limit AEW Continental Championship match with Konosuke Takeshita next Sunday at Revolution. Moxley said you need opponents like Takeshita. He’s not scared, but he knows Takeshita can beat him. But that’s not happening. Moxley can’t see it any other way. The full interview will be available this Tuesday on AEW’s YouTube channel!

$200K 4-Way Tag Match: Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen) def. The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum), LFI (RUSH and Dralístico) and The Swirl (Blake Christian and Lee Johnson)

Former ROH World Champion and the partner of Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum, Dalton Castle, joined commentary for this big-money matchup! All four teams got involved in the opening minutes. Still, the biggest impact came from RUSH, who beat Private Party around the ringside area before sending Kassidy back into the ring for Dralístico to continue the punishment. The Swirl and LFI worked together on Kassidy and then exchanged some pleasantries, but with $200K on the line, they went after each other! RUSH and Dralístico took control, but it didn’t last long, as the Outrunners finally entered to slam everybody!


Floyd and Magnum met Christian on the top rope, where Floyd superplexed Christian to the floor onto their other opponents! Kassidy found his way back into the mix and fought Dralístico on the apron. Dralístico took Kassidy to the floor with a hurricanrana! RUSH and Dralístico double-team Quen with a German suplex and dropkick combo. Floyd cut off RUSH with a clothesline and started to fire up with Magnum, but Christian and Johnson stopped them. Kassidy and The Swirl exchanged kicks until Kassidy was hung in the tree of woe. He was hit with a poisonrana by Johnson, followed by an assisted destroyer, but Quen came in to break up the pin attempt!


Kassidy fought out of the corner to hit Johnson with a destroyer! He grabbed Christian for a neckbreaker as Quen came off the top with a double stomp! Quen put Johnson on his shoulders, and Kassidy came off the top with the doomsday cutter! That was enough to get the three-count, and Private Party won the $200K! They celebrated with their bag of cash around the ring!

JetSpeed is Ready to Refocus, but Swerve has Questions for Kevin Knight

Lexy Nair was with Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey and asked Knight about losing two title matches on Dynamite. Knight said he had MJF looking up at The Jet for 13 seconds, and while he knows other opportunities will come, he feels like he let his team down by losing the AEW World Trios Titles. Bailey stopped him and said the team lost, and while they appreciated “Hangman” Adam Page’s help, his situation with MJF did complicate things a bit. But now, they’ll tag with Mistico to try to win the AEW World Trios Titles back from the Don Callis Family. 


Nair asked if Bailey was ready to hold two championships, since this Wednesday on Dynamite, he’ll face “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Championship. Bailey had no concerns with two title matches in the same week and said he’s beaten Fletcher before and can do it again. And then he’ll take his “pretty pink TNT Championship.”


“Then why didn’t he?”


The voice we heard was Swerve Strickland, who walked up with Prince Nana and told Nair to leave. Swerve asked Bailey why Knight didn’t know what it took to win. He turned his attention to Knight and asked why every time Knight seemed to have hit a foot on the neck of his opponent, he didn’t apply the pressure. He told Knight that if he wanted to compete amongst killers, he had to become a killer.

The Babes of Wrath Attacked by Megan Bayne and Lena Kross

Earlier today, Renee Paquette tried to get a word with AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions, Harley Cameron and TBS Champion Willow Nightingale, but Bayne and Kross attacked them! While the Babes did their best to fight them off, Bayne and Kross were too much and left the champions lying!

Tag Team Match: “Megasus” Megan Bayne & “Colossal” Lena Kross def. Timeless Love Bombs (“Timeless” Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa)

Bayne and Shirakawa opened the match with Bayne getting early control with her power. Kross tagged in, and they tried to double-team Cameron, but Storm came in to save her partner. Kross and Bayne snatched Storm and Shirakawa for stereo fallaway slams! Kross took Shirakawa on a ride with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. She tagged Bayne back in, but Shirakawa was able to break free and tag Storm! She went right to work on Bayne and put her down with a standing hip attack. Kross tried to make the save, but was also sent to the outside. Storm helped send Shirakawa to the top, then down to the floor, onto Bayne and Kross with a crossbody! Storm missed a hip attack to Bayne on the apron, so Kross dropped Storm face-first on the apron! Bayne came flying out of the ring to take out Storm, Shirakawa and Luther with a huge dive! 


Kross and Bayne did a fantastic job keeping Storm away from Shirakawa for several minutes until Storm fought away to tag Shirakawa! Shirakawa took Bayne down with a kick from the top, followed by a DDT off the ropes to Kross! Shirakawa put Bayne back down with headscissors, followed by a shotgun dropkick! She tagged Storm, who dropped Shirakawa on Bayne for an assisted tornillo. That got a two-count, and Bayne fought right back to hit a fallaway slam/Samoan drop combo on Storm and Shirakawa. Bayne went to the top, but Shirakawa cut her off, and Storm recovered to help. However, it was Kross who came in to assist the superplex to take everyone down! 


All four women exchanged huge shots until Storm and Bayne were left. Storm nailed Bayne with a hip attack in the corner and tagged Shirakawa, who came off the top with a slingblade. Bayne kicked out at two! Shirakawa locked on the figure four, but Bayne rolled it over to reverse the pressure. Storm rolled it back for Mina. Kross rolled it back for Bayne. Storm came back and rolled it back for Mina. Kross came back and hit a senton splash on Mina! 


While Storm waited in the corner, Marina Shafir came out of nowhere and pulled her off the apron! She took Storm under the ring! Meanwhile, Bayne floored Shirakawa with a flying clothesline, and Kross finished Shirakawa with a jackhammer to get the win! 

Mark Briscoe Has a Challenge for Tommaso Ciampa and FTR

Briscoe said something has felt off about Ciampa since he came to AEW, until tonight. Ciampa back-jumped him, and that’s the Ciampa Briscoe remembered. Briscoe said shame on him for letting his guard down. But shame on Ciampa for being a coward. And now he’s aligned himself with FTR? Two of the greatest rivals of the Briscoes? Well, now that the numbers aren’t in Briscoe’s favor, he had to get on the phone with another set of rivals. So how about this Wednesday on Dynamite, Ciampa and FTR vs. DEM BUCKS!


Trios Match: The Dogs (“War Ready” Gabe Kidd, “100 Proof” Clark Connors and David Finlay) def. Cosmo Orion, Gmo Kaminari & Jaden Monroe

It seemed like Finley would start the match, but Kidd walked right by him to knock Kaminari and Orion off the apron. Connors speared Monroe, and Finlay followed with a powerbomb. The Dogs absolutely decimated their three opponents in what Schiavone called “a mugging.” Monroe ate a brainbuster from Connors, a piledriver from Kidd and an Overkill knee from Finlay before Finlay pinned him in a dominant victory!

“Timeless” Toni Storm Wants Marina Shafir at Revolution

Before the main event, Storm appeared on stage and called for Marina Shafir. 


“All you do is talk about competition, so why is it that the only one with a set of ovaries to fight alone is Jon bloody Moxley? Marina, we are going to Hollywoodland, and this is what I want: Everyone, EVERYONE, banned from ringside—just you and me, and nobody to stop us. And then I want my AEW Women’s World Championship back! Chin up, tits out, and I’ll see you and only you at Revolution!”

Persephone Won the CMLL World Women’s Championship from Mercedes Moné

We took a look at highlights from last night’s CMLL event, where Mercedes Moné lost the CMLL World Women’s Championship to Persephone. Now, Persephone will get her shot at the TBS Championship against Willow Nightingale on Dynamite this Wednesday!

NJPW World TV Champion “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita of the Don Callis Family def. CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Claudio Castagnoli of the Death Riders

With AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley on commentary, it was time for our main event. After an initial feeling-out process, Takeshita knocked Castagnoli to the outside with a big dropkick. When Takeshita tried to go after him, Castagnoli wrenched Takeshita’s arm over the top rope. Back in the ring, the two exchanged shoulder blocks until Castagnoli went after Takeshita’s arm and stomped on it! Takeshita was able to turn things around and sent Castagnoli’s head off the turnbuckle 10 times in two different corners. Takeshita took a little too long to keep the offense up and wrenched Takeshita’s arm over the rope again to take the advantage back.


Takeshita tried to fight through the pain, but Castagnoli stayed on the arm. Takeshita started to fight back with one good arm! He caught Castagnoli with a forearm and followed with a flying elbow! He continued the comeback with an exploder and seemed to be feeding off the crowd! Castagnoli blocked the Power Drive Knee by grabbing Takeshita for the giant swing! He transitioned that into an extended arm submission to stay on the damage he’s been focusing on all match. Takeshita rolled out of it and got a two-count. Takeshita tried to punch loose as Castagnoli kept slamming his shoulder into Takeshita’s bad arm. Takeshita got out of it with a blue thunder bomb out of nowhere! Castagnoli kicked out at two!


Takeshita hit a rolling elbow, but Castagnoli came back with a pop-up uppercut! This time, Takeshita kicked out at two! A frustrated Castagnoli grabbed a chair and threw it in the ring. He grabbed another and did the same. While the referee removed the chairs from the ring, Castagnoli grabbed his CMLL World Heavyweight Title, but when he went to bring it into the ring, Hechicero stopped him! Takeshita came over the top with a tope suicida! He threw Castagnoli back in and nailed a Power Drive Knee! Castagnoli kicked out! Takeshita went for another knee, but Castagnoli was ready for it and hit an uppercut! He tried for a Neutralizer, so Takeshita jumped out of it, but Castagnoli kept wrist control and lit Takeshita up with more uppercuts. Takeshita wouldn’t go down! Castagnoli hit multiple uppercuts in succession and tried for a Ricola Bomb, but Takeshita rolled through and came back with a Power Strike Knee! He picked up Castagnoli for Raging Fire and hit it to get the pinfall in the main event! 


Takeshita called for Moxley, but went out to meet him in front of the commentary desk. As they exchanged words, Hechicero nailed Moxley from behind. Takeshita stepped in to stop anything further, but neither saw Moxley come back to attack! Castagnoli got in the fray, as he went after Hechicero while Takeshita and Moxley brawled on the other side of the ring. Referees couldn’t keep Moxley and Takeshita apart as Collision came to a close!
