The next Collision is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/09/aew-collision-saturday-tailgate-brawl.html

This is a 3 hour special. We are in London, Ontario, Canada. Technically, the 3rd hour of this is listed as Collision as due to All Out, there is no Collision this week.

Tony Schiavone is hosting a contract signing for Adam Page vs Kyle Fletcher. They come out, as does Don Callis. Don says he's been waiting to get the AEW Title back and found someone who is bigger and faster than Page or Omega. He says there's nothing Page can do to Kyle. 

Page says he wants Kyle to do this on his own. He says he sees the potential in him. He says Kyle could be in AEW for decades and he could be looked to as someone who can carry AEW in the future. He says Kyle has to be worthy of it.

Page says if Kyle reads the contract, he will find out that Kyle will lose the match and be stripped of the TNT Title if Don Callis or any of his buddies get involved. Kyle says he's scared of nothing. He says no one else will be involved but it changes nothing. He says he's the best wrestler to step in an AEW ring.

 Kyle says he's better than Page when he won the AEW Title and he's better than him now. He says AEW doesn't need him or Omega anymore. Kyle says this company belongs to him.

Adam says Kyle will hurt after losing at All Out. He says Kyle won't do enough to beat him. He tells Kyle not to disappoint him. Kyle says he will leave with the TNT Title and AEW Title on Saturday. He says he will leave Page beaten, bloodied and unable to walk out on his own feet. 

We get a promo compilation between Darby and Mox.

Thoughts: It was okay. There was a lot of striking here and a fair bit of shenanigans going on outside during this. Mox won as expected. 

We get a video on MJF/Mark Briscoe.

We see clips from Collision of MJF talking to Tony Khan. He claims Tony screwed him by changing the rules of the world title match contract he has. He also doesn't want do the tables and thumbtacks match. Tony says MJF violated the rules of AEW and the integrity of AEW. MJF says he's proud of him for putting his big boy pants on and says he hopes he's happy when he puts another Briscoe in the dirt. He says it won't be on him but on Tony.

The Hurt's and Ricochet's crew fight after the match. Ric gets hit with MVP's cane. MVP also hits a hard shot on Kaun.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring. He says we will see two of the greatest tag teams step in the ring at All Out. He brings out Adam Copeland, Christian Cage and FTR. FTR has a bunch of security with them. Stokeley Hathaway warns Cage/Cope they will be fined if they touch him and he will cancel the match. 

Cash says he met Cope for the first time 16 years ago. He says Cope was a big star then and he was a nobody. He said they became friends and Cope became his mentor. He said Cope told him he could get him opportunities but said Cope kicked the door down. Cash says he kicked the door down and FTR became living legends. 

Cash says they got Cope to AEW and said it became The Cope Show once they did. Cash said they were expected to be the supporting cash and do all the work. Cash says they helped him get his career back and will take it away for good.

Dax says Cope and Cage were the best tag team in the world at one time but were carried by 2 other teams. Dax says they carried tag wrestling on their back. He names the teams they fought. He says they won 10 titles in 7 brands. He says this is a dream match for Cope and Cage and says they need it to be a dream match. Dax says don't make them end their lives Saturday.

Cope says Stoke gets no hoes and says to keep Beth Phoenix's name off his lips as she will slap him. Cope says they opened the doors to get them hired. He said he came to AEW to get them hired. He says they aren't in the spotlight as the fans want him in the spotlight. Cope says they are in the discussion as being one of the greatest teams and says welcome to the club as they were were for 25 years. Cope says it'll be 2 of the greatest teams facing off for the first time on Saturday. Cope says they will understand why there is only one of them when they lay fists to their faces. Cope says FTR will understand why Cope and Cage are better than them.

Cage says Stoke could get hoes with the money from fines. Cage says $500,000 doesn't mean a lot to him because he's rich. Cope and Cage then hit FTR and security breaks it up. A guard takes a shatter machine from FTR then another takes a killswitch. Cope spears a guard. The two teams fight. FTR backs off and Dax has a seriously bloody nose.

Thoughts: It was an okay segment and I think they are finally getting the idea of what this is supposed to be. Sadly, it's a little late.

Thoughts: Like a lot of Mort's singles matches, they did way too much and none of it meant anything. They also had a lot of sloppy moments here. I was surprised MD won as Mort is used more, but the 3-way would have been all heels if Mort had win so I guess this is why they did it.

AEW World Tag Title Ladder Match Qualifier - The Don Callis Family (Hechicero and Josh Alexander) vs Top Flight (Dante and Darius Martin)

Don Calis does intros for his team and does a good job of it. Hech and Darius lock up. Hech trips him. Darius sweeps him and rolls him up for 1. Darius cradles him and they stand off.

Page is beaten up by The Don Callis Family. Page lariats Kyle in the ring and Kyle hits him with a title belt when Page goes for a buckshot lariat. Kyle suplexes Page off the apron through a table. Kyle poses with the TNT and AEW Titles after.

Thoughts: Page took a pretty big bump through that table. I would think it would put him out of the title match though it won't.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show at 3 hours. The show was mostly fine and there weren't too many big developments as the PPV is only a few days away. Thekla/Queen was fine. Lashley/Toa was my favorite match of the night. The Bucks had a watchable match (though they did the same stuff they always do) and we had Killswitch turn on Kip Sabian in a surprising moment. It was a heavy wrestling edition as expected. Most of the matches were okay enough here, mostly everything made sense and I'd give this  a 7 out of 10 total. Like with AEW PPV's, they have a large and mostly talented roster and when they have so many matches, it adds up and it's hard to really give the show a bad rating when they have so many okay matches. I can't say they've done a great job with All Out though as they didn't try their best and the card feels pretty weak compared to past cards.
