AEW Collision Recap Tonight for Roanoke
TNT Championship Match: Kyle Fletcher def. Tomohiro Ishii
The collision between TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher and Tomohiro Ishii began with both men going nose-to-nose in the center of the ring. Fletcher struck first with a forearm, triggering an extended exchange of heavy shots until a single blow from the champion staggered Ishii. They traded shoulder tackles, with Ishii finally dropping Fletcher with a lariat. A rapid series of counters followed, Fletcher ducking an enzuigiri before both men retreated to opposite corners. Fletcher rolled to the floor to regroup.
Back inside, Ishii chopped away at the champion, but Fletcher fired back with one massive chop that forced Ishii to a knee. Fletcher sent Ishii into the corner, only for the challenger to explode out with a shoulder tackle. Ishii followed with more chops in the corner, but Fletcher broke free with a big boot to the jaw and a scoop slam. Ishii recovered to land a Saito suplex, but Fletcher regained control with a devastating Michinoku Driver.
Coming out of the break, Ishii rocked Fletcher with a leaping headbutt on the top rope before hitting a superplex for a near fall. The battle spilled to the apron, where Fletcher blasted Ishii with two sharp kicks to the jaw before delivering a punishing brainbuster on the edge of the ring. Back in the ring, Fletcher connected with a top-rope flying elbow for two.
Fletcher aimed for another knockout kick, but Ishii countered with a German suplex and an enzuigiri. The two traded forearms until Fletcher floored Ishii with a lariat and another big kick in the corner. The champion set up for an avalanche brainbuster, but Ishii slipped free and drilled Fletcher with a running powerbomb.
The match built to a fever pitch as both men countered suplex attempts. Fletcher hit a high knee in the corner and a powerbomb for two, then blasted Ishii with a kick to the midsection and another to the head. Ishii answered with a lariat out of the corner, but Fletcher absorbed it and immediately planted the challenger with the sheer drop brainbuster to secure the pinfall and retain the TNT Championship.
After retaining the TNT Championship, Kyle Fletcher took the microphone in Roanoke and immediately framed the moment as historic: “Oh, Roanoke, Virginia, you have just witnessed history.” He called the defense “the very first offense in what will go down as the greatest title reign in AEW history,” and positioned Tomohiro Ishii as “the latest bonafide legend around the world that I have mopped the floor with.”
Pivoting to what’s next, Fletcher said, “And that is where I start thinking about Forbidden Door.” Linking Ishii to his own past abroad, he continued, “And being in here with Ishiimakes me think about my new Japan days.” Then came the challenge: “New Japan, I want you to send your pound for pound best at Forbidden Door to face me for the TNT Championship,” Fletcher declared.
He closed with a blunt prediction of the outcome: “But whoever it is does not matter because the result will be the same. I will be holding this championship high above my head. And you and everyone around the world will have no choice but to say my full name.”
Don Callis Challenges New Japan to Step Up to Kyle Fletcher
Moments after Kyle Fletcher’s successful title defense, Don Callis delivered a backstage message aimed squarely at New Japan Pro Wrestling. Callis opened by tying Fletcher’s win over Tomohiro Ishii to a bigger mission: “I’m so happy that Kyle Fletcher has beaten the great ishii and embarked on his own journey to become the greatest TNT champion of all time to fulfill the destiny of Kyle Fletcher. And it felt so good to me to beat a New Japan talent that I feel like I’d like a little more.”
Positioning himself as a longtime player in NJPW’s history, Callis continued, “You see, I had a big role to play in the success of New Japan several years ago. It’s why they gave me this one of a kind tie that I’m wearing tonight, because I’m feeling all things New Japan. In fact, let me send a little message out to the management team at New Japan Pro Wrestling.”
Then came the direct challenge and the when-and-where: “We’re gonna be here next week in Cincinnati. I would love it if you would send your best to face Kyle Fletcher.”
Callis ended with a threat and a promise: “What are you afraid of, New Japan? Send me someone for Kyle and after he’s done embarrassing them. I will take off this one of a kind tie and I will choke whoever you send into oblivion as Kyle Fletcher and I march on into history.”
Forbidden Door Qualifier Match Announced
After those comments from Don Callis, Tony Schiavone announced that coming up this Wednesday on Dynamite, we would see a 4-Way Qualifier Match between Hechicero, Daniel Garcia, Lee Moriarty and Nigel McGuiness, with the winner advancing to Forbidden Door to face IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr.
GOA and Ricochet Cause Chaos Backstage
Cameras caught chaos in the backstage area as Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun, flanked by Ricochet, mauled multiple bystanders. Voices pleaded, “Hey. Hey. Stop. Stop. Please, please stop.” Moments later, more shouts: “Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.”
Ricochet stepped into frame and delivered the message himself: “You see, I have all of this ammo, I have all this firepower, and you think that I'm not about to use it? My patience, my patience is wearing thin because I have been nothing but kind and respectful since I stepped foot into AEW when we, we have been very transparent about our goal, and we have no issue dismantling everything in our path until we get the respect that we deserve.” He tightened the screws: “So, you will give us what we want or we will take it, and that you see, that's not a request, that's a demand.”
Message sent, Ricochet and the Gates of Agony decked one more bystander for emphasis before the camera cut away.
Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian Want to End Christian Cage For Good
Alicia Atout opened by putting last week’s attack front and center: “Guys, last week we saw you Con-chair-to Christian Cage, and now that you're standing here with me tonight, I need to ask the question on everybody's mind. Why did you do it?”
Kip Sabian bristled at the premise. “Questions? There seems to be some obsession with why we choose to conduct business the way that we do, but Christian Cage, you said you respected us for standing up to you.” He pressed the point: “But you didn't like it when we questioned why you did what you did. Well, who's questioning us now? You are questioning us now. All of you are questioning us now, aren't you?”
Nick Wayne turned the focus squarely to Christian. “It's typical. Typical, hypocritical Christian Cage, constantly telling himself lies that he wants to hear, spewing lies about himself and everyone around him.” He continued, “How are we supposed to feel fulfilled when all you do is speak empty lies? If there's one part where you spoke remotely about the truth last week, it was when you said that I had every tool in my book to be a star. Where you went incorrect, is the fact that I'm already a star”
Wayne closed with a warning about what comes next: “I'm a shooting star that was just now set free to soar, and if any of you are shocked or questioned as to why we did what we did to Christian Cage, you ain't seen nothing yet. Our next chapter is us ending the career of Christian Cage.”
Megan Bayne def. Emily Rose
At the bell, Megan Bayne blasts Emily Rose with a running kick to the jaw, then hurls her into the corner for a big splash. Bayne continues the onslaught with a double-underhook butterfly suplex and climbs to the middle rope to nail a diving lariat.
Rose answers with an elbow to the jaw and heads up the turnbuckles, but Bayne cuts her off, snatches her into position, and drives her down with a Running Powerbomb. Bayne holds the cover for the three count to seal the win.
Big Bill & Bryan Keith Are Angry and Ready to Do Something About It
Lexy Nair tried to begin the interview by saying that Big Bill and Bryan Keith look upset, when Bryan Keith cut in, making the target crystal clear. “Pissed! Pissed! Juice, see, I'm mad all the time, but this time you managed to piss off Big Bill. You put your nose in our business, you put your hands on Big Bill, you put your hands on me,” Keith said.
Big Bill picked it up from there: “And then you knocked us out of the tag team tournament. You crossed one line and then you crossed another line. That's too many damn lines. Too many damn lines. So Juice, the next time I see you, I'm gonna walk a straight line directly at you and rip your head off. Juice Robinson, you've got exactly what's coming to you.”
Ricochet def. Juice Robinson
Ricochet plays cat-and-mouse at the bell—out to the floor, back in, then out again—before chopping Cardblade for good measure. Austin Gunn chases him off and hoists Cardblade in celebration. Back inside, Juice sends Ricochet off the ropes; the shoulder tackle doesn’t budge Robinson. Juice feints a kick, Ricochet doubles over, and Juice slaps the top of his head before planting him and hitting a standing senton for two.
Juice bounces Ricochet’s head off the top turnbuckle, then the middle, then launches him into the opposite corner’s top buckle, flipping Ricochet to the mat. A headbutt in the corner sets up ten punches on the turnbuckles as Toa Liona appears on the ramp. With the official distracted, Bishop Kaun yanks Juice down and slams him on the floor, and Ricochet follows with a tope suicida.
After the break, Juice strings together his signature jabs and drops Ricochet with a heavy right. When Ricochet tries to reset, Juice catches him with a leg lariat for two. Ricochet fires back—counters the leg sweep, ducks the back elbow, sends Juice to the corner, springboards to the apron for a kick, then springs back in with a stomp to a seated Robinson. Ricochet rolls him up for two, but Juice answers with a hard clothesline for his own near fall.
Ricochet stuns Juice across the top rope twice, then hits a springboard forearm, a springboard moonsault, and a standing shooting star press for two. He lines up the Spirit Gun, but Juice ducks and spikes a Flatliner for a near fall. Juice kicks to the gut, Kaun jumps on the apron, Austin Gunn yanks him down, and Toa Liona pounces Gunn into the announce table. In the chaos, Big Bill storms in and levels Juice—opening the door for Ricochet to land the Spirit Gun and score the three-count.
Max Caster Isn’t Here for “Moral Victories”
We see a package recapping the recent interactions between Max Caster, Anthony Bowens and Billy Gun, before we join Max backstage with Lexy Nair. Caster rejected the idea that last week was a “moral victory,” snapping, “No. If anyone had the moral victory, it was RUSH. He’s the one who survived five against The Best Wrestler Alive™. RUSH, I took you to your limit but you didn’t beat me, ’cause you can’t be better than the best. You just can’t.”
Asked about the post-match attack by LFI and the save by JetSpeed and AR Fox, Caster says the math tracks: “Right. And that makes sense too. If you wanna mess with the best, you need a three on one attack. But JetSpeed and AR Fox? Thanks for the help. But next time no thanks ’cause you’re looking live at The Best Wrestler Alive.”
He then pivoted to what’s next: “We’re just gonna continue it on today. Another open challenge. We’ll see who could survive.” Then, Max started to get ready: “Lexy, for the people here in Roanoke, I’m going to warm up right now.”
With that, Caster dropped down to start doing clapping push-ups while doing his signature chant, then found a randomly placed giant Nutcracker and started lifting its arm up and down while continuing to get hyped, leaving Lexy in confused silence.
FTR & Big Stoke def. Joe Keys, Josh Fuller & Ryan Zukko
Cash Wheeler opens against Joe Keys, testing him with shoulder tackles that don’t move the big man. Cash switches gears, takes Keys to the mat, and tags Dax Harwood—telling Big Stoke to “watch how it’s done.” With the crowd chanting “We want Stoke!”, Dax backs Ryan Zukko into the corner. Zukko wrenches Dax’s arm and tags Josh Fuller, but Dax drags Fuller to FTR’s corner and hammers him down before tagging in Big Stoke. Fuller snatches Stoke by the collar, sending Stoke scrambling back to tag Cash. Cash kicks Fuller down and brings Dax back in, only for Fuller to land an enzuigiri.
Fuller tags Zukko, but FTR immediately cut him off with the Shatter Machine. They tag in Big Stoke, who climbs to the middle rope and spikes Zukko with a Spike Piledriver from the middle rope. Big Stoke covers for the three-count.
We’re treated to a package recapping the recent run-ins between Darby Allin and former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, with Moxley vowing to make Allin go away for good after Allin used a bodybagged Wheeler Yuta to issue a challenge to Moxley for Forbidden Door this week on Dynamite.
Hechicero def. AR Fox
Daniel Garcia joins commentary for this one. As the bell rings, Hechicero immediately blasts AR Fox with a big boot, then mounts him with punches on the mat. In the back, Lee Moriarty and STP watch on a monitor. Hechicero hits the ropes; Fox goes for a leapfrog, but Hechicero snatches him out of the air, slams him down, and hammers the top of his head with strikes. A chop and an Irish whip follow, but Fox reverses with chops of his own and a slingblade. Hechicero bails to regroup; Fox wipes him out with two dives through the ropes and a flipping dive over the top.
Back inside, Fox heads up for a senton—Hechicero gets the boots up and Fox eats it. Fox looks for a tornado DDT, but Hechicero catches him, swings through into a backbreaker, then crushes him with a rising knee in the corner as we go to break.
Returning, Hechicero cranks a side headlock until Fox fights free and levels him with a kick, taking a breather in the corner. Hechicero misses a cannonball, rebounds off the far ropes, and crushes Fox with a lariat. Both men reset. Fox fires back, ducks a clothesline, lands a head kick, hits a splashing elbow in the corner, and rolls into a cutter. With Hechicero down center-ring, Fox connects with a swanton for two.
Hechicero pops up, hits a head-scissors to ground Fox, then vaults him into a rear chin-lock with a body scissors. The pressure is immediate. Fox taps, and Hechicero takes the submission victory.
Harley Cameron Gets Possessed?!
Back from the break, we see a bandaged Harley Cameron watching highlights of when she was taken out by Penelope Ford and Megan Bayne. Cameron goes into her closet and finds the pink mask she’s been seen wearing lately, putting it on and seemingly transforming a la “The Mask.”
Triangle of Madness (Skye Blue, Julia Hart and Thekla) def. Queen Aminata, Tay Melo & Willow Nightingale
Aminata and Thekla start fast—Aminata snaps Thekla over and plants Chocolate Kisses before Skye Blue slides in with a basement dropkick to break it up. Triangle of Madness swarm Aminata for a quick triple-team and Thekla covers for one. Aminata answers with a heavy slap and tags Tay Melo. Julia Hart tags in for the Triangle; Hart ducks a kick but Melo lands the follow-up for two. Melo corners Hart and brings in Willow Nightingale, who hammers away. Thekla rushes in to pull Willow off; Hart and Thekla try a double suplex, but Willow powers both over instead.
Blue makes a blind tag on Hart and launches from the top with a crossbody—Willow catches her, slams her to the mat, and clamps on a Steiner Recliner. Thekla tries to make the save but Melo cuts her off; Aminata does the same to Hart. With Willow holding the chin lock, Melo and Aminata each grab a wrist and stretch Blue as we head to break.
Back from commercial, the Triangle have flipped it—Thekla has Willow cinched in a front facelock. Willow makes a tag the referee doesn’t see, then tosses Thekla down. All six women pile in; chaos spills bodies to the floor, leaving Willow and Thekla down in the ring. Aminata and Blue reach their aprons, and both get the tags. Aminata strings offense together: snap suplex, running lariat in the corner, and a spinning neckbreaker for two. Hart saves but gets tossed; Blue capitalizes with a kick to Aminata’s chin. Aminata fires back with a headbutt and tags Melo, who runs hot—clearing all three members of the Triangle and drilling Blue with a hammerlock DDT for a near fall until Thekla breaks it up.
Willow wipes out Thekla, but Blue low-bridges Willow to the outside. Melo sets for a Gory Special; Hart yanks Blue free, and Hart and Blue immediately hit an assisted uranage on Melo for the three-count.
SkyFlight Thinks Don Callis Needs a Refund
Backstage, SkyFlight taunts the Don Callis Family, saying that Callis wasn’t able to ruin SkyFlight’s in-ring debut by trying to pay off Shane Taylor Promotions. If anything, Callis should go get himself a refund. So Don, you can keep shooting, but you better tighten that aim up, because SkyFlight isn’t going anywhere.
FTR & Big Stoke Rechristen Roanoke
Fresh off their win, sealed by Big Stoke scoring the pin, FTR and Stokely celebrated backstage. Cash Wheeler led off: “Hell yes. All the hoes in Roanoke. I think we can officially call it ‘Hoanoke.’”
Big Stoke picked up next: “I like that. I like that. Adam Copeland, you saw what I did out there. And guess what? You did that. You’re the one who turned me into this monster. I shared my problems with the world, but guess what? Next Wednesday, they’re all–one of them–will be solved, because after I beat you, Adam Copeland, I’m gonna make you my hoe.”
Cash refocused the aim on tag team gold: “And after we are done with you Adam Copeland, we can focus on what actually matters: Going and winning this AEW World Tag Team Tournament, going to Forbidden Door and becoming three-time AEW World Tag Team Champions.”
Dax Harwood closed with a blunt mission statement: “Yeah, I understand that we’ve been having a lot of fun and we’ve been having a lot of laughs, but I wanna get serious right here for a second. Okay. The most important thing in my life? Forget my ugly wife. Forget my brat daughter. The most important thing in my life is the AEW World Tag Team Championship. The reason I breathe, the reason I live, the reason I wake up every single day is to become the AEW World Tag Team Champions. So Brodido, you are a stepping stone. You are nothing. Okay? You are a stepping stone to The Hurt Syndicate. And Hurt Syndicate? You like to hurt people, huh? You ain’t the only ones. Top Guys, out.”
Shibata Does Not “Survive” Max Caster’s Latest Open Challenge
We go to the ring where Max Caster is on the mic. Caster credits RUSH for surviving last week, but RUSH couldn’t beat Caster, because Caster is the Best Wrestler Alive, and you can’t be better than the best. He then leads the crowd in his signature chant, giving them credit for being better, before Caster puts five minutes on the clock.
The man to answer the challenge: Katsuyori Shibata.
Caster pats Shibata’s chest to start, Shibata smacks Caster to the mat then backs him into the corner with chops. Caster falls to the ground and crawls to the center of the ring. Shibata encourages him to get up and kicks him across the chest, sending Caster crashing down to the mat again. Shibata grabs Caster by the wrist and connects with three more kicks to the chest, then sends him somersaulting backward into the ropes with another. Shibata misses a kick on Caster against the ropes, allowing Caster to roll him up for a two count. Caster lands a kick on the chin of Shibata, who fires up and lands a running knee on Caster in the corner, then a series of forearms, then a running dropkick on Caster leaning against the bottom turnbuckle. Shibata puts Caster into a sleeperhold, takes him to the mat, then hits the PK for the pin.
After the match, Shibata lifts up Caster for a handshake, but LFI hits the ring and attacks both men. JetSpeed then run out, Speedball brandishing a board covered in a chain and Kevin Knight wielding a hockey stick also adorned with a chain, chasing off LFI before the start of their trios match.
AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page & JetSpeed (Speedball Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight) def. LFI (RUSH, Dralístico and The Beast Mortos)
RUSH and Hangman start, exchanging massive forearms in the center of the ring, then an exchange of chops that thunders through the arena. Hangman gains the upper hand, but The Beast Mortos kicks Hangman in the upper back as Page bounces off the ropes. All three members of LFI hit the ring to beat on Page, but JetSpeed neutralize Beast Mortos and Dralístico as Hangman and RUSH continue to go at it.
Hangman takes RUSH to the outside, then climbs to the top for a moonsault to the floor, wiping out RUSH. Back in the ring, RUSH counters an Irish whip by Hangman and kicks a ducking Page, then tags in Dralístico. Dralístico lands big overhand chops on Page. Dralístico hits the ropes, but Page answers with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Hangman tags in Speedball; Knight and Speedball double-team Dralístico, hitting a double gourdbuster followed by double dropkicks. Knight exits to his corner, Dralístico takes Speedball to LFI’s half of the ring, and LFI unload triple-team offense as they crush Speedball in the corner.
RUSH tags back in and taunts Hangman before grounding Speedball with an arm drag, taking him to the corner as RUSH tags in Beast Mortos. Mortos maintains the advantage until Speedball counters a charging Mortos in the corner, allowing Speedball to tag Knight. Dralístico comes in only for Knight to fend him off, then Knight hits a scoop slam on RUSH, followed by a dropkick on RUSH. Knight charges Dralístico in the corner and takes him off the top rope with a hurricanrana, then dives to the outside to take out both Dralístico and RUSH as we go to commercial.
Back from the break, Knight kicks out of a two-count from RUSH. As Knight recovers, RUSH goes to punch Hangman, who ducks out of the way, giving Knight time to take RUSH down and tag Hangman. Hangman comes in with his hair on fire, taking RUSH down with a pump kick to the jaw after bouncing off the ropes. Hangman takes RUSH into the corner and beats him down with forearm shots. The Beast Mortos tries to make the save, but Hangman throws him onto the apron, then takes out Dralístico with a fallaway slam. Hangman kips up and slingshots to the outside to take out Beast Mortos. RUSH tries to take advantage of the chaos to charge Page, but Hangman lifts RUSH up for a Death Valley Driver and a two-count.
Hangman lifts RUSH up and goes for the discus lariat, but RUSH counters and tosses Hangman into the corner. RUSH stomps on Page in the corner and sets up to give Hangman the horns, but Knight cuts off RUSH. Dralístico then takes out Knight with a Destroyer before Speedball takes out Dralístico with a kick to the chest and a standing backflip knee drop. Beast Mortos throws Speedball off the ropes into a Samoan drop, only for Hangman to take out Beast Mortos. RUSH rolls up Hangman for a two-count, then hits a belly-to-back suplex on Page. Dralístico tags in and takes out Hangman with a springboard crucifix, but Page kicks out at two.
LFI triple-team Page, but Knight pulls Dralístico off the apron, allowing Speedball to level RUSH with a kick to the chin. Beast Mortos sends both members of JetSpeed to the outside, then hits an incredible tornillo to the floor to take out JetSpeed. RUSH then hits a plancha of his own to keep them down. Back in the ring, Dralístico attempts a leaping hurricanrana off the top on Page, but Hangman plants him with a powerbomb and sets up for the Buckshot Lariat. Beast Mortos tries to make the save—Hangman fends him off. RUSH tries to stop Hangman—Hangman fends him off. Dralístico lands a kick on Page, leaving him dazed on the apron. JetSpeed take out Beast Mortos and RUSH, then wipe them out on the outside with stereo dives off the top rope. Page recovers and hits the Buckshot Lariat on Dralístico for the win.
