Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/03/aew-collision-3232025-slam-dunk-sunday.html

Toni Storm comes out to talk. She calls out Megan Bayne. Toni says Meg was the best woman in their match when Meg beat her. She says she's ashamed and said Meg made it look so easy. She then lays down in the ring. She says she was in bathroom that night and remembered who she is. She says she will leave with Meg's chest in her purse. Penelope Ford then comes in and facekicks her.

Toni hits a hip attack and stomps on her. Meg then flying lariats Toni. Meg then F-5's her on the Women's title. Meg then poses on her.

The Death Riders do a promo. Claudio challenges Adam Copeland (not Cope) due to what Cope did to him this week. He says he knows Cope is losing his edge and he is trying to cope with it. He says he will leave enough of him to make it to Dynasty. Mox says he only feared his wife, mom and sister until he met Marina Shafir. He says he doesn't want to see her snap. Shafir tells Willow to try and keep smiling when she rips her liver out and shoves it down her throat. 

Jay White vs Kevin Knight

KK got no real reaction here. They go to the mat and get up. Jay wristocks him, KK flips out then arm throws him. Jay side headlock takeovers him. KK headscissors him then Jay does it again. Jay shoulders him over but KK backrolls and lands on his feet. KK hits armdrags then flying headscissors him.

KK hits euros then Jay dragon screws him around the middle rope. Jay brainbusters him for 2. We go to PiP break. KK sits on the top rope and is chopped down to the floor. 

KK hits chops then hits a nice dropkick. KK hits running lariats then slams him. KK does a standing frogsplash for 2. KK jumps over a lariat and superkicks him. KK rolls him into a pin attempt for 2. Jay sits on the top buckle and KK jumping hurricanrana's him from the mat. Jay hits a flatliner then germans him.

Jay uranages him then bladerunners him for the win.

Thoughts: The crowd didn't seem to know Kevin and didn't care that much. It's hard to blame them since this wasn't build up to. They did okay here with Kevin doing his usual flying and Jay being able to work around it.

Jay says let's hear it for Kevin after. He says Kevin went through the NJPW dojo like him and says he's sure we will see more of him in AEW. Jay tells him that's his cue to leave and Kevin does. Jay says the Owen Hart Cup will have the best of the best. He says he needs to win the Owen Hart Cup and he needs to get his AEW Title shot at All In. He says he will show us it is still the switchblade era. 

We get a video of MJF throwing out the first pitch at a Texas Rangers game.  He says Lashley didn't understand what he brings to the table and said even though Lashley lives in Texas, the Rangers asked for him and not Lashley.

Mercedes Mone vs Robyn Renegade

Mone side headlocks her then shoulders her over. RR rolls her up for 2 then dropkicks her. Mone misses a corner double knee then takes a running knee and a pump kick. Mone 2nd rope diving crossbodies her. RR backrolls through it then Money drops her onto her Mone's knees for 2.

Mone is hanging over the 2nd rope and RR double stomps her. RR misses a top rope moonsailt. Mone 2nd rope meteora's her for 2. Mone hits a bad money maker and a crossface to win.

Thoughts: Mone won here as expected and it wasn't much of note. Mone's finisher didn't look good.

Tony Schiavone interviews Mone after. Mone says she's the greatest TBS champ of all time and she said she came to AEW to win more gold. She says she will be in the Owen Hart Cup, win it and become Women's champ. Tony says Billie Starkz will be in the tournament. Mone says she has heart but not as much as Robyn Renegade. She said whoever trained her sucks at wrestling.

Athena then comes out. She has a spinner title for some reason. Mone tries to hit her with a title, misses and is knocked down with a forearm. Athena tries to hit her with an o-face but hits Robyn Renegade instead.

Thoughts: There's no way Athena's winning any type of match between her and Mone so that's going to hurt her and her title reign.

Queen Aminata is interviewed. She has a wrist injury. Serena Deeb comes in. She said this was preventable. She said she offered her a gameplan and she turned it down. She says she hopes Queen is noticing a pattern. She says everything is about choices and Queen made the wrong choice. Queen says she still chooses not to listen to her trash. Deeb says she will have a few weeks to rest up so she gives her the book that she made.

Thoughts: It was okay. I thought the faces could have done a better job with their comeback. Top Flight lost as expected here as they always lose.

The Cru of Action Andretti and Lio Rush get in the ring and have chains. AR Fox saves Top Flight and Top Flight backs off.

Jaymie Hayter is interviewed. She says it feels great to be back. She says being in the main tonight vs Billie Staekz is another day for her. She calls Starkz a young whippersnapper. She says she has fire and she likes it. She says she respects her but will knock her on her @ss. She tells her to be smart or find out the hard way. She says she also wants to enter the Owen Hart Cup. She says she wants to leave All In a champ.

The Undisputed Kingdom come out as does Daniel Garcia. Cole says he respects him and says he is the future of AEW. He says he's a fighting champ and Cole says he didn't get the job done against him. He says DG didn't get the job done either. He says it should make DG stay up at night and he should want to change it. Cole says this needs to end with one man proving he is better than the other.

Matt Menard says DG is the champ and asks how many chances should Cole get? He says DG doesn't have to do this. DG says he doesn't have to do this but he wants to. DG says let's run it back again. Roderick Strong says DG isn't there yet. Menard yells at Strong. DG says enough and says no one will be out there at AEW Dynasty. He says it'll be him and DG in a no time limit match for the TNT Title.

Dax Harwood vs Wheeler Yuta

Dax wristlocks him and Yuta reverses it. Dax side headlock takeovers him. Yuta chops Dax. Dax slams him then Yuta slams him back. Dax side headlock takeovers him. Yuta then does the same.

Yuta shoulders Dax over. Dax stomps on Yuta and chops him. Dax hits a northern lights suplex for 2. Dax is sent into the steps. Yuta stomps the arm into the steps. Yuta superplexes him and we go to PiP break and return.

They fight outside. Yuta back body drops him on the floor. Dax dragon screws Yuta twice. Dax figure fours Yuta around the post. Dax is sent into the post shoulder first. Yuta is crotched on the top rope. Dax hits a top rope backdrop on Yuta. Yuta puts cattle mutilation on Dax and Dax ropebreaks. 

Yuta germans Dax for 2. Dax sharpshooters him and Yuta ropebreaks. Yuta is thrown in but he rolls Dax off of it and pins him.

Thoughts: The finish was a bit out of nowhere. The work was fine in this but being these two, it wasn't terribly exciting or interesting. I suppose Yuta winning is an upset but all Dax really does is lose singles matches.

Yuta exits through the crowd and sees Claudio there, then hugs him.

Dax argues with the ref about the pin then grabs him by the shirt. Security then restrains Dax. Cash pulls security off but then Dax pushes Cash. Dax tries to help him up, Cash swats his hand away and walks off.

The Patriarchy minus Christian and Killswitch are interviewed. The Cru then interrupt. They ask what's up with their boy AR Fox. Nick says he isn't his boy. Action says they know their history together. Nick Wayne says they want help because they can't get the job done. nick says his past with AR is done. Action takes offense with this. Action says when the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than Nick and it seems like they want Nick to join.

Hologram vs Blake Christian

Holo step up headscissors BC then BC does the same to him. They both do headflips. They try to dropkick each other at the same time and headflip up together. BC teases a handshake then slaps him. Holo hits some shots.

BC throws him out. Holo superkicks him outside. Holo is thrown into the post. We go to PiP break then full break. Holo suplexes him then dropkicks him. Holo tries to tope him but nails Lee Johnson (who is with Blake) instead.

Holo and BC stand on the rail. Holo hurricanrana's him off of it. Holo is on the steps, BC jumps up to the steps and spanish flies him on the floor. BC springboard 450's him for 2. BC superkicks him then powerslams him. BC takes a standing spanish fly off the crossbody. BC bulldogs Holo. Holo spinning torture rack bombs him and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a very indy match here with lots of flying and rolling around for no real reason and nobody selling much at all. I didn't like this. This was also random.

Thunder Rosa and Kris Statlander are interviewed. Both will be in the Owen Hart Cup. Kris says you can't stop her in the tournament. Rosa says she never lost the AEW Title and says she will scratch harder than ever to hold the cup. Kris says unless she faces her. 

Jamie Hayter vs Billie Starkz

This is so random and out of nowhere. Jamie side headlocks her and shoulders her over. Jamie piefaces her and BS punches her. BS sunset flips her for 2 then buzzsaw kicks her. Jamie throws her off buckles and top rope dropkicks her.

We go to PiP break and return. Jamie half crabs her. BS gets some offense in then topes her. BS hits a top rope swanton for 2. They high kick each other at the same time. Jamie shotgun dropkicks her. BS hits oblivion on her for 2.

Jamie hits an ushigoroshi on her then sliding lariats her for 2. BS germans her. Jamie lariats her. BS facekicks her then Jamie superkicks and enzugiri's her. Jamie germans her for 2. BS spin kicks her in the face and Jamie does a step up on the ropes and lariats her off of it in a new move.

Thoughts: It was a really random one and I really have to question the logic of putting this in the main event of the show when neither are that big of stars right now. It was acceptable and I think it helped Jamie some.

Athena comes out and holds her title up at Jamie after.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual Collision with tons of random matches, few stars to be found and the AEW/ROH undercard pretty much running the show. This didn't accomplish a lot and wasn't AEW's best effort. The main and semi main were very weak here and I doubt this did that well ratings wise. I'd give this one a 4 out of 10 for the lack of effort and it felt like AEW was going back to its old ways here with a heavy focus on random matches. I thought it was a boring show and wouldn't recommend it.
