AEW Collision Results

AEW Collision celebrated its landmark 100th episode from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California, on Saturday night. Kyle Fletcher defeated Daniel Garcia in a brutal main event to secure a TNT Championship match against Adam Cole at AEW All In: Texas. The night also featured the stunning return of Scorpio Sky, Místico leading his team to victory in a dynamic trios bout, and Timeless Toni Storm issuing an intense warning to Mercedes Moné ahead of their highly anticipated women's title clash. 

With rivalries intensifying and stakes higher than ever, Collision’s 100th edition perfectly set the stage for AEW All In: Texas next weekend. Here’s everything that went down on Collision 100, including your full AEW Collision results and recap.


Adam Cole Opens AEW Collision 100; Kyle Fletcher & Daniel Garcia Set Stakes for Main Event


AEW Collision's historic 100th episode began in grand fashion with TNT Champion Adam Cole taking center stage. Welcomed to thunderous applause from the packed Toyota Arena in Ontario, California, Cole was ready to celebrate the occasion.

"Who's ready for storytime with Adam Cole, bay-bay?" Cole energetically asked the crowd, drawing loud cheers. He acknowledged the special milestone, expressing genuine gratitude: "The strides that Collision has made in such a short time have been so impressive, but really, I just wanted to come out here and say thank you." Cole continued warmly, "AEW has the best professional wrestlers on the planet, delivering some of the greatest matches you've ever seen. But damn it, you are the best pro wrestling fans I have ever been in front of."

Cole's heartfelt words energized the crowd even further as he proclaimed his dedication to his championship reign and AEW's bright future. "AEW is built on the future," Cole emphasized, "I'm excited about that future because right now, I am your TNT Champion, and this title is going nowhere."

Cole's celebratory mood was abruptly interrupted by Kyle Fletcher, who emerged with pointed determination. Fletcher, confident and confrontational, congratulated Cole in a tone dripping with sarcasm: "Pardon me for the interruption, Adam, but I just wanted to personally congratulate everybody and especially you on such a huge milestone. 100 episodes of Collision. That's huge. And you have had a fantastic run as the face of TNT."

Fletcher quickly shifted his praise into a stark challenge. "But the next 100 episodes of Collision and the entire future of this company belong to me," Fletcher declared. Addressing their history, Fletcher bitterly recounted All In 2023: "Do you remember All In 2023? Of course you do. You main-evented the biggest professional wrestling show of all time for the AEW World Championship. But earlier that night, you faced a young, hungry Kyle Fletcher for the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships. And while I'm sure that was the greatest night of your life, it was the worst night of mine. You took away the biggest accomplishment of my life purely to stroke your own ego."

Intensity flared in Fletcher's voice as he underscored his transformation since their last encounter: "I killed that version of Kyle Fletcher. And I stand before you the most perfect professional wrestler in the world." Demanding a shot at redemption, Fletcher boldly challenged Cole, "At All In, I want a shot at my TNT Championship, because everybody in this world knows there is nobody more deserving of that shot."

The tension was amplified further as Daniel Garcia's entrance music hit, and the former TNT Champion confidently entered the conversation. Addressing the Ontario crowd directly, Garcia declared that when you talk about the past and the future of Collision and the TNT title, you should bring up one name—Daniel Garcia.

Garcia, unfazed by Fletcher’s bravado, set his sights clearly on Cole, stating, "Fletcher, me and you, we got a match later tonight. I'm not looking past you, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not distracted. Because when I look into that ring and see the person that beat me for the TNT title, I can only think one thing to myself—I need that."

Cole responded assertively, reminding Garcia of their past encounters: "Any time, any place you want a shot at this championship, you got it. But do not forget—I beat you before, and I'll beat you again."

Turning to Fletcher, Cole's tone grew sterner, "And for you, Kyle—the person who's living in la-la land—you're lying to yourself. The last time we faced each other, I had you beat. I had you beat to the point where the Don Callis Family had to come out and get involved because they knew you were done. Most importantly, you know you were done. I had your number then, and I have your number now."

Cole proposed an immediate solution, eliciting a massive reaction from the crowd: "Kyle, you want a shot at my TNT Championship? Danny, you want a shot? I'm a fighting champion, so at All In, I'll face both of you!"

Fletcher immediately balked, saying that he had been screwed once before, and moreover, he beat Daniel Garcia when Garcia was TNT Champion, in the Continental Classic. Garcia replied that beating Daniel Garcia of late isn’t that noteworthy, as he’s been losing quite a lot. But every time he gets knocked down, he gets back up.

Garcia then emphasized the competitive spirit of AEW: "I'm not asking for a shot at the TNT title because I deserve one—I want to earn it. Tonight, Kyle Fletcher versus Daniel Garcia. The winner goes on to have the biggest match of either of their lives at All In against Adam Cole for the TNT Championship."

Cole was succinct, “If that’s how you want to play it, then that’s how we’ll do it. Gentlemen, may the best man win.”

Timeless Toni Storm Issues Powerful Warning to Mercedes Moné


Immediately following the opening confrontation, AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm appeared in a prerecorded segment, addressing her heated rivalry with Mercedes Moné, speaking to a hypothetical young fan:

"This is a message for that little girl watching from home—the one who begged her parents to buy All In so she could sit in front of the television and watch the greatest women's match of all time.

"It won't be. It'll be a lesson. And the lesson is this: someone can only hurt you as much as you let them. And when they can't hurt you anymore, if they hurt the people you love—the damage done inside the ring—you have absolutely every right to rip their bloody tits off."

Storm's language intensified, as she continued to address that hypothetical young girl:

"Some things in life are not worth fighting for, but if you're lucky, one thing in your whole life will be worth every last drop of blood. Fortunately for me, that thing happens to be the big shiny gold belt that I wear around my waist. What you're about to witness will change you in profound ways. Probably your mother too. It won't be nice. It won't be pretty. But you'll remember it forever."

She concluded that there are two types of people in this world, and that she knows which she is.

"Hopefully it'll discourage you from becoming a wrestler yourself. Because there are only two kinds of people in this world: the ruthless, greedy, power-hungry megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to have it all, and the people who end them. Goodnight, darling. See you next week."


Kevin Knight Prevails in Thrilling Three-Way Battle Against Shelton Benjamin and Nick Wayne


AEW Collision's landmark 100th episode continued with an electrifying three-way contest featuring a fascinating clash of generations and styles, as the powerful veteran Shelton Benjamin, the dynamic young champion Nick Wayne, and the explosive, high-flying Kevin Knight met in the squared circle.

Shelton Benjamin made his way to the ring first, accompanied by MVP, exuding supreme confidence and experience. Nick Wayne followed, joined by his entourage, including the calculating Kip Sabian and Wayne’s own notorious mother, who garnered boos from the Ontario crowd. Finally, Kevin Knight sprinted to the ring, accompanied by tag partner Speedball Mike Bailey. Despite visible bandages from previous attacks by The Hurt Syndicate, Knight showed unwavering intensity from the outset.

The bell rang, and the action erupted immediately. Benjamin swiftly leveraged his strength advantage against Knight as Wayne scampered to the outside, landing powerful strikes and dominating exchanges early. Nick Wayne, agile and opportunistic, capitalized on momentary lapses in attention, landing swift strikes and precise maneuvers, including a pinpoint standing dropkick alongside Knight that sent Benjamin staggering out of the ring. McGuinness praised, "Incredible timing and athleticism from Nick Wayne—he may be young, but he wrestles like a seasoned veteran."

With Benjamin momentarily incapacitated outside, Wayne and Knight engaged in a lightning-fast exchange, after Wayne made it seem as if he was going to enter into a temporary alliance with Knight, then elbowed him in the mouth.

Benjamin re-entered the scene, asserting dominance once more, including a thunderous powerslam on Wayne that shook the ring and prompted McGuinness to exclaim, "Benjamin just sent him into orbit with that slam!" MVP shouted encouragement from ringside, arrogantly declaring to fans, "That's why Shelton Benjamin is a champion—you're all witnessing greatness!"

Sensing victory, Benjamin moved in aggressively on Knight, who courageously battled back, employing swift leg strikes targeting Benjamin’s knees. Knight then executed a spectacularly precise standing moonsault. Schiavone praised, "Kevin Knight showing amazing resilience and agility!"

With all three competitors visibly exhausted, the match reached its frenetic climax. Benjamin lifted Knight onto the top rope, locking in an Ankle Lock, only for Wayne to re-enter the action, dramatically intervening with a superkick to Benjamin. As the competitors recovered, Wayne attempted his patented Wayne's World on Benjamin, aiming to secure a critical win. However, Knight stunned Wayne with the UFO Frog Splash to break up the pin and pick up the victory for himself.


Later in the broadcast, it was announced that The Hurt Syndicate would defend their AEW World Tag Team Championship at All In: Texas against both JetSpeed and Nick Wayne and Christian Cage.

Claudio Castagnoli Wants What is His Back From Powerhouse Hobbs and The Opps


Following the explosive action on AEW Dynamite earlier in the week, AEW Collision aired exclusive backstage footage featuring Claudio Castagnoli of the Death Riders delivering a focused, intense message directly to rival Powerhouse Hobbs.

In the video, Claudio stood backstage, his presence imposing and serious, the intensity etched clearly across his face. His voice was measured and deliberate, filled with simmering anger and frustration, a stark contrast to his usual composed demeanor. Without preamble, Claudio addressed Hobbs directly, his voice barely above a growl yet carrying unmistakable authority:

"Hobbs, I'm not gonna scream. I'm not gonna yell," Claudio began quietly, narrowing his gaze directly at the camera, clearly visualizing his rival. "But I'm sick and tired of you sticking your nose into our business."

"You want to be heroes, Hobbs? You and your crew, you claim to be heroes?" Claudio questioned rhetorically, his tone growing sharper with each word. "Well, I'm gonna give you the opportunity to prove that you really are heroes. Because at All In Texas, that Trios Championship—that's ours. It's mine, and it's the Death Riders'."

He paused briefly, leaning closer into the camera as he underscored his challenge with undeniable gravity as Yuta chimed in that the belts were his, too: "At All In, we have a score to settle,” Claudio finished.


Místico, Hologram & Mark Briscoe Win High-Flying Trios Encounter vs. RPG Vice and Hechicero


AEW Collision’s 100th episode continued to electrify fans with a high-octane trios match, featuring Místico, Hologram, and Mark Briscoe battling against the Don Callis Family's combination of Hechicero, Rocky Romero and Trent Beretta.

As the match commenced, Místico dazzled immediately with agile offense, landing a big back elbow on Romero, followed shortly thereafter by a breathtaking headscissors takedown, prompting Tony Schiavone to exclaim, "Just incredible agility from Místico!” Mark Briscoe tagged in, shifting the style drastically with a barrage of stiff chops, forearms, and rugged clotheslines, with Místico and Hologram nailing stereo tope suicidas to the outside. 

The pace intensified further with the entrance of Hologram, showcasing his lightning-fast moveset. He escaped the Jackal Driver by countering into a poison rana and executed a standing Spanish fly on Hechicero. The Don Callis Family briefly halted Hologram’s momentum with a stiff series of triple-team moves, leading to Hechicero locking in an armbar on Hologram.

Místico reclaimed the momentum with a top-rope hurricanrana onto Hechicero, only for Trent to slow Hologram with a stiff half-and-half suplex when Hologram tagged back in. Shortly thereafter, with Hologram having recovered, he and Mark Briscoe both set up chairs near the ring ropes to fly to the outside and take out the Family.

The conclusion came dramatically when Místico delivered a swift tilt-a-whirl transition into his signature finishing move, La Mística. Romero immediately tapped, unable to withstand the painful submission. Celebrating the triumphant victory, Místico, Hologram, and Briscoe stood together atop the turnbuckles as the crowd roared in appreciation, recognizing the thrilling performance delivered by all involved.

However, the celebration was abruptly interrupted when MJF and MVP appeared on the arena's massive video screen, immediately shifting the atmosphere. MJF sarcastically applauded their victory, sneering dismissively, "Wow, Ontario—did you see that win? So exciting, so fantastic." 

Addressing Briscoe, MJF said that he’d consider a one-on-one conversation, even though he typically rolls with his clique, The Hurt Syndicate. MJF concluded the stark warning by mocking the fan-favorites: "Now you two can go back to doing whatever poor people do—count food stamps or something. We'll see you next Saturday."

MVP, standing confidently beside MJF, amplified the threat, directly addressing Briscoe and Mistico with sharp disdain: "Mark, I appreciate your enthusiasm—I really do—but you're way out of your league. And Mistico?” From there, MVP had some choice words for the CMLL legend in Spanish, to which MJF replied, “I don’t know what he just said. But when you're in the Syndicate, it's not personal. It's just business."


Scorpio Sky Makes Stunning Return, Defeats Max Caster in Quick Fashion


The historic 100th episode of AEW Collision continued to deliver memorable moments, as Max Caster stepped into the ring to issue his “Best Wrestler Alive™ Five-Minute Open Challenge.” With his typical cocky bravado, Caster stood confidently in the center of the ring, microphone in hand, addressing the Ontario crowd.

“You are looking live at the best wrestler alive,” Caster declared, inciting immediate jeers. Taunting the local fans further, he mocked, “I know that your lives here in the Inland Empire are very boring and very horrible. However, you people are allowed to have the best moment of your lives when you get to chant my name.” But the audience didn’t live up to Caster’s expectations, as he asked why they were mocking his life work.

Caster, unfazed by the negative reaction, continued to provoke the crowd, starting a mocking chant of his own: “This crowd sucks! This crowd sucks!” Tony Schiavone, at the commentary table, scoffed in disbelief, remarking, “I can’t believe they’re chanting that.”

Just as Caster was demanding that the five-minute clock be put on screen, a brief training montage and video package with a familiar face and voice aired, drawing an immediate, thunderous roar from the capacity crowd. 

After nearly two years away from AEW television, Scorpio Sky returned!

Sky stood momentarily at the top of the entrance ramp, soaking in the deafening cheers. Accompanied to ringside by a sharply dressed Christopher Daniels, his longtime SCU partner, along with Leila Grey and Top Flight, Sky’s intensity was palpable. “This is an incredible return,” Nigel McGuinness proclaimed, clearly impressed by the crowd’s passionate reception.


Sky swiftly made his way down the ramp, stepping into the ring with determination etched into every movement. Caster, visibly thrown off his game by the unexpected opponent, hesitated briefly before regaining composure.

The bell rang, and Sky wasted no time in asserting dominance. As Caster stepped forward, Sky struck immediately, landing a sharp right hand followed by a rapid flurry of punches and kicks that forced Caster back against the ropes while the crowd chanted, “Welcome back!” Schiavone excitedly called the action: “Sky coming out firing, not wasting a single second!”

Sky quickly whipped Caster across the ring and caught him on the rebound with a beautifully executed high-elevation Manhattan Drop drop, before emphatically driving him down to the mat with a flawless Cutter. With Caster down and motionless, Sky promptly covered him for the pinfall. 

Ricochet Continues to Open the Gates


In a backstage segment during AEW Collision's landmark 100th episode, Ricochet was asked if he would like to share what happened between him and the Gates of Agony, who decimated AR Fox, last week. Ricochet immediately deflected the inquiry: "Um, no. What the Gates and I talked about last week is none of your—or anybody else's—business. But what you can get from me are actions. Because actions speak louder than words."

Without waiting for further prompting, Ricochet abruptly gestured for the cameraman to follow him, tersely ordering, "Come with me.” The camera hurriedly followed as Ricochet marched down the backstage corridor, where the Gates of Agony had taken out Blake Christian and Lee Johnson. Ricochet stared Christian down, his voice sharp and assertive: "You see, boys—if you want Ricochet’s respect, you're gonna have to earn it. And that—that's not a request. That's a demand."

Willow Nightingale Powers Past Vipress


AEW Collision continued with Willow Nightingale back in action against Vipress. As Willow entered the Toyota Arena, she drew her typical enthusiastic response from the Ontario crowd. Tony Schiavone praised Nightingale's ever-growing popularity as she energetically made her way to the ring, remarking, "Willow Nightingale is impossible to dislike. She’s always bringing joy, energy, and a relentless fighting spirit to every match she competes in."

The bell rang and Vipress immediately tried to gain an early advantage. However, Nightingale was prepared, deftly sidestepping Vipress’ initial aggression. This match mostly belonged to Nightingale, as she planted Vipress with a devastating spinebuster, punished her in the corner, and added a big-time pounce in the middle of the ring for good measure, all while Wheeler Yuta and Kris Statlander watched on a monitor in the back, with Statlander not wanting much if anything to do with Yuta.


It didn’t take long before Nightingale was hosting Vipress up for the "Babe With The Powerbomb." Willow quickly pinned Vipress and earned the victory.

Anthony Bowens and Billy Gunn Try to Get on the Same Page


A revealing backstage segment further highlighted potential escalating tensions between Anthony Bowens and Billy Gunn. Following Bowens' recent disappointing setbacks, Renee Paquette was backstage with Bowens, looking to clarify his mindset heading toward AEW All In: Texas.

Renee addressed Bowens sympathetically, recognizing his recent struggles: "Anthony Bowens, the Pride of Pro Wrestling, unfortunately tonight did not go your way. I mean, last week you were talking about this strategy that you had heading into this match—"

Bowens cut Renee off, visibly frustrated yet trying to maintain composure: "There's no room for negativity, Renee. I'm the Pride of Pro Wrestling. Enough." 

Billy Gunn then entered the scene, responding immediately to Bowens' clear agitation and encouraging him to get up. Bowens directly confronted Gunn, voicing frustration openly and explicitly: "Thanks for the help out there!"

Billy Gunn reacted defensively yet somewhat bewildered by Bowens’ anger, quickly retorting, "Well, I thought this whole new strategy of yours was to not have me out there, to see what you were doing on your own." Gunn clarified further, visibly unsure, "Have me out there, don't have me out there—I don't know where you're going with this."

Bowens was visibly incredulous, clearly upset by the misunderstanding. He responded sharply, seeking immediate clarity: "When was that a part of the strategy? I never said I didn't want you out there! So where were you?"

Billy Gunn explained candidly, his tone becoming both defensive and earnest: "That's what I heard! I was in the back watching you do your thing." He softened his tone, attempting reassurance: "I don't know if you know this, but just because you turn into a singles doesn't mean you're gonna be world champion tomorrow. There's gonna be some bumps in the road, and we're just hitting a couple of them."

Gunn pressed further, genuinely attempting to calm the situation: "We need to get back together and figure this out, and it'll all be all right—I promise you."

Bowens, however, wasn't immediately convinced by Gunn's assurances. His frustration boiled over as he made his position unmistakably clear: "You've been saying that every single week, Billy! Results need to happen now. All In's around the corner. I have to win that gauntlet. I lost my opportunity at being number two—so now what?"

Gunn calmly but earnestly reassured him one final time: "You gotta trust me. Trust me."

Bowens remained silent momentarily, clearly weighing Gunn’s words.

FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) Defeat The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum) in Grueling Match

Early on, the Outrunners immediately captured the crowd's support with their energetic presence, with the Outrunners sending FTR crashing to the outside with big clotheslines over the top rope. FTR took the opportunity to go by the announce desk and mock Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness before getting back into the ring.

Back in the ring, the Outrunners continued to lay in their tandem offense against Cash Wheeler, until Wheeler was temporarily able to fend them off and tag in Dax Harwood, who went to work on Turbo Floyd, with Harwood and Wheeler excellently cutting the ring in half and keeping Floyd isolated.

Floyd's previously compromised knee became a constant focal point throughout the match, dramatically limiting his ability to mount an effective offense. Despite this significant handicap, Floyd exhibited remarkable tenacity, attempting several comebacks only to be continuously grounded by FTR's coordinated assault.

Tony Schiavone painted a vivid picture of the Outrunners' struggle: "Turbo Floyd, fighting courageously, but how long can he realistically last with that clearly injured leg?" Floyd made a desperate dive, managing to tag in his partner, Truth Magnum, to roaring approval from the crowd. Magnum burst into the ring, a furious whirlwind of offense, delivering sharp clotheslines, rapid dropkicks, and a splash into the corner that momentarily swung momentum in favor of the Outrunners, although Wheeler was able to break up an attempt at the double bionic elbow drop.

FTR regrouped outside the ring, and when we came back from the commercial break, Truth Magnum was bloodied and being beaten in the corner. FTR once again went to work with their tried-and-true tag team tactics, grinding Magnum into the mat. Magnum nearly made the tag to Floyd, only for Wheeler to yank Turbo off the apron at the last minute.

Harwood continued to brutalize the bloodied Magnum, as FTR hit a double-team flatliner. The crowd erupted as Magnum rallied, blood visibly streaming from a laceration on his forehead, fending off Wheeler on the top rope then hitting a crossbody—only for nobody to be there when he went to make the tag, as Floyd was incapacitated with his injured knee. 

Despite Magnum's courageous offense, FTR soon regained control with veteran cunning, hitting an assisted neckbreaker for another two-count. But after dodging a headbutt, Magnum finally made the tag to Floyd. Floyd fought through the pain as best as he could, but every time he went to lift Wheeler, Floyd damaged himself. Still, the Outrunners managed to hit the double bionic elbow drop, helping each other to their feet along the way, but Cash kicked out.

After a back-and-forth involving all four men, the Outrunners—yes, the Outrunners—hit the Shatter Machine, but Dax Harwood made the save to avoid the indignity of FTR losing to their own signature maneuver.

With Floyd incapacitated by severe knee damage and Magnum severely weakened after a vertical suplex by Harwood to the outside, FTR smelled blood in the water. Seizing the opportunity, Harwood and Wheeler set up their devastating Shatter Machine finisher. Harwood propelled Floyd into the air as Wheeler delivered the finishing blow, decisively planting Turbo Floyd into the canvas. Wheeler quickly covered for the three-count victory while Big Stoke held Magnum from breaking up the tag.

After their victory, FTR stood triumphant yet visibly drained.

Athena, Megan Bayne, Thekla & Julia Hart Victorious in Chaotic Eight-Woman Tag vs. Tay Melo, Anna Jay, Thunder Rosa & Queen Aminata

The match opened explosively as Queen Aminata and Thekla faced off first, reigniting their ongoing rivalry with immediate intensity. Thekla started with a hurricanrana, but Aminata rocked the Toxic Spider with a massive strike to the face.

Julia Hart tagged in next, only to be hit with a huge backbreaker and then Chocolate Kisses by Aminata, sending Hart tagging in Athena, while Aminata tagged in Thunder Rosa, the ROH Women’s World Champion’s opponent at Supercard of Honor next week. Athena then scattered, tagging in Megan Bayne. And momentum shifted dramatically with Bayne entering the ring, as she smashed Rosa into the corner, only for Rosa to recover for a shotgun dropkick from the top rope, then a basement dropkick with Bayne leaning against the bottom rope, setting up Aminata for a top-rope double stomp. Rosa and Aminata then double-teamed Bayne in the corner with chops to the chest.

Back from the break, Hart went for a sky-high moonsault on Rosa, but Rosa got her feet up in time to rock Hart. Both women made the tag to their respective corners, with Tay Melo and Thekla coming in. Melo nailed a series of big pump-kicks on Thekla in the corner, culminating in a knee to the face of a downed Toxic Spider that led to a two-count. The match descended into controlled chaos, with all eight competitors eventually entering the fray.

Rosa and Athena again collided in the center of the ring, before chasing each other to the back. Tay Melo and Anna Jay looked to capitalize, however, Penelope Ford provided a timely distraction. Capitalizing on the chaos, Megan Bayne decapitated a vulnerable Anna Jay, who had become the legal competitor amidst the confusion, before Bayne hoisted Jay onto her shoulders with ease, delivering a devastating Running Powerbomb, slamming Jay emphatically into the canvas. Bayne confidently covered Jay, hooking the leg decisively for the win.

Kyle Fletcher Secures TNT Championship Opportunity, Defeating Daniel Garcia


The landmark 100th episode of AEW Collision concluded in dramatic fashion, featuring a high-stakes main event between Kyle Fletcher and Daniel Garcia, with the winner securing a TNT Championship opportunity against Adam Cole at All In: Texas. Adam Cole himself joined the commentary table alongside Tony Schiavone, Nigel McGuinness, and the always provocative Don Callis, amplifying the already charged atmosphere.

Fletcher and Garcia started with a collar-and-elbow tie-up in the middle of the ring, before Garcia drove Fletcher into the corner and lightly taunted him with Garcia’s signature dance.

The action intensified as Fletcher leveraged his superior strength, taking Garcia to the mat with a headlock before Garcia knocked Fletcher off his feet with a diving shoulder tackle after rebounding off the ropes a couple of times. Garcia mounted Fletcher in the corner for a series of punches to the head, but Fletcher turned the tables with a menacing kick to the face after coming out of the corner. 

Garcia responded defiantly, evading Fletcher in the corner then dropkicking him on the apron to the outside. On the outside, Garcia sized up Fletcher for a big strike, but the Protostar countered with another kick to the face before Garcia could strike. A momentary lapse in concentration when Fletcher taunted Cole gave Garcia an opening, but Fletcher reclaimed the advantage with yet another kick to the jaw before throwing Garcia into the barricade, bloodying the former TNT Champion.

Yet Garcia wasn’t going to back down. Back in the ring, he once again mounted Fletcher for punches, then locked in a choke on the apron amid the ropes before suplexing the Protostar onto the apron. Garcia followed that up with three John Woo kicks to a seated Fletcher against the barricade. Garcia hoisted Fletcher onto the top turnbuckle and landed a seismic superplex for a two-count, Garcia flopping lifelessly onto Fletcher. 

When both men got to their feet, Fletcher seized the advantage, landing a thrust kick on Garcia’s chin followed by a massive powerbomb then vicious elbows to the top of Garcia’s head and his nose, adding even more blood to Garcia’s face. 

Garcia, visibly pained yet determined, fought back valiantly, dodging Fletcher’s corner charge. Garcia seized the opportunity, swiftly locked Fletcher into his signature Dragon Tamer submission hold, wrenching back deeply and desperately screaming for Fletcher to tap out. After Fletcher escaped, both men went crashing to the outside, with Callis leaving the announce desk to check out the carnage and encourage his star. Fletcher reversed a potential suplex by Garcia into a half-and-half suplex of his own, visibly rocking Garcia. Fletcher, staring directly at Adam Cole, then planted Garcia with an apron powerbomb, just as he previously had done to Cole several weeks ago.

As the match neared its climax, Cole tried to encourage Garcia to get back into the ring, which Garcia finally did just before the 10-count—only for Fletcher to kick Garcia in the face one last time in the corner. Fletcher immediately followed up with a devastating Brainbuster, violently planting Garcia head-first onto the canvas for the win.

As Fletcher celebrated his hard-earned victory, Adam Cole stood up from the commentary desk, locking eyes intensely with Fletcher, who pointed at Cole’s TNT Championship.
