Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/09/aew-collision-9282024.html

Johnny TV vs Darby Allin

Darby is in tree of woe and JTV corkscrew kicks him. Darby rolls him up for 2. JTV does a wild spinning razor's edge uranage for 2. JTV misses starship pain and takes a code red for 2. Darby top rope coffin drops him and wins.

Thoughts: They did way too much here with a spinning razor's edge and a russian legweep off the apron not meaning anything. It's a shame too as they were an interesting match up for each other and Darby could actually take some of JTV's wilder moves.

Darby said he issued a challenge for WrestleDream and tells anyone who wants to come make a name for themselves to come do it now. No one comes and he says we have a locker room full of complacent people.

Darby goes up the ramp and is pounced by Brody King by surprise.  Darby takes a razor's edge on the apron edge. Brody chokes him against the post and says he accepts.

We get an FTR and Outrunners video. We see them working out together and goofing off. We then see them sun tan when it's not sunny out. We see Dax get his bear dyed and we see FTR get Outrunners style sunglasses and outfits. Cash asks if they have the stuff and The Runners say they do.

Thoughts: This was a fun video. I wish we got more of these from other wrestlers. I wish we had more gimmicks too. 

The Outrunners vs The Grizzled Young Veterans

This is a lose-lose here as neither of these teams should take the L here. Truth and Drake go at it. Truth armdrags him and poses. Turbo and Gibson go at it. Gibson takes him over with the lock-up and Turbo shoves him off. Turbo chops him up  and Drake stops Gibson from getting sent into the buckles. Turbo takes corner attacks and a spinning heel kick.

Turbo back body drops Gibson. The Runners hit a double dropkick then a double hiptoss. Gibson is double clotheslined over the top then Drake takes a double atomic drop. The Runners then pose.

We go to PiP break and return. Drake indian deathlocks Truth's leg. Gibson hits kicks on Truth's leg. Gibson is thrown out and Drake blocks Truth's tag. Truth boots Gibson out of the corner and tags in Turbo. Turbo hits shots on The Vets. Turbo slams Gibson and Drake several times. Truth is then slammed on Gibson and Turbo is slamed on Drake.

Drake takes a double elbow drop. Truth is pushed off the top then Drake step up enzugiri's Turbo. Drake pounds on Truth. Truth reverses a move from Drake and rolls him up to win.

Thoughts: It was a decent tag here. The Runners hammed it up a lot with various poses. I liked Turbo running the apron prior to getting tagged in. It was nice to see The Runners win but it sucked to see The Vets lose.

Britt Braker talks over clips. She says she belongs in the AEW Women's Title picture. She says she hasn't had a shot at it since he lost it. She says Mariah May has something she wants and she's done sitting at home waiting to be called upon. She says she'll be there Title Tuesday and says the road to redemption starts now.

The Conglomeration and Willow Nightingale are interviewed. Willow says she wants the women's title and says Britt has to wait her turn. She says she has a match with Trish Adora right now and needs to go. Mark Briscoe says he feels sorry for Trish and says it's time to go for Willow.

Trish hits forearms then crossbodies her. Trish hits a chop and suplexes her for 2. Trish germans her for 2. Willow hits a stiff doctor bomb and wins.

Thoughts: This was pretty much The AEW Special here. It  was a random match with an obvious outcome that went on too long when it should have just been a squash. It was just an average match and Trish lost as expected.

Willow goes outside. May shoves her title in Willow's face. Willow pulls her over the rail and then throws her into that and the steps. May slaps her and runs.

Alicia Atout interviews Wheeler Yuta. Not sure if Alicia has been on here before. Yuta goes to talk then CC, Pac and Shafir surround him. They kick Alicia out. CC tells Yuta to let it out. Yuta said he did everything CC asked and said he gave up years of his career for him. He asked who CC is and said he left him in the dark by betraying Bryan. Yuta says CC acts like he is supposed to trust him. CC asks if he ever steered him wrong and said he wishes he still trusted him. CC says he always has Yuta's back and asks him what Bryan did for him.

Thoughts: This adds some new life to the this angle and we will have to see where things go from here.

Mariah May is interviewed by Lexy Nair. May says everyone is drooling for a shot at her. She says Britt won a match and thinks she deserves a shot. She tells her to go to her office and floss.

Yuta hits a stomp flurry in the corner. Yuta hits downward elbows then does cattle mutilation. Beef is out and the match is stopped.

Thoughts: It was nice to see Beef get over some here. It was a quick squash as expected.

We get clips of the Ospreay/Ricochet match with Takeshita attacking them after.

Thoughts: It got knocked a little off course with all the shenanigans but it was an okay tag here.

Thoughts: I swear Nigel and Tony were having a contest here to see who could get more move names wrong during this match. It was a flippy spotfest here as expected and they overdid it like they always do. They did have some cool spots though at least. 

Lexy tries into interview The Beast Mortos. She says it seems like he joined forces iwth LFI. The Undisputed Kingdom come in. Strong says he's supposed to be with them. Taven said he thought they had something special. Bennett says he can trust them and Strong says not to make the wrong decision. Mortos just yells.

We get a video on Emi Sakura. They talk about her competing in TJPW against Shoko Nakajima (which I covered here). They say she wants to become a champ here in AEW and says she will be fighting Mone for two titles on Dynamite.

Thoughts: Emi hasn't done anything lately and her getting a title shot is random. 

AEW World Tag Team Title #1 Contendership Three Way Match - Top Flight vs Private Party vs House of Black (Buddy Matthews and Malakai Black)

Dante takes gin n juice and PP get the win.

Thoughts: It was odd that this was in the main event. It was a flippy match as expected but they didn't overdo it and I was fine with it. Private Party had trouble hitting gin n juice twice here and Action Andretti coming out to start trouble wasn't exactly a face move.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual Collision that had a lot of random matches but mostly was watchable due to the matches being okay. There was nothing must see here but it was a decent show.
