Thoughts: It got a lot of time to play out. The tag match was fine with a lot of people coming in and out and a lot of strikes being thrown. They tried to get Yuta's hat off a few times here but couldn't. 

Konosuke Takeshita comes out and attacks Mox. They fight their two groups do a very lazy and pathetic job of trying to break it up. They then fight on the ramp and go to the back.

Thoughts: Jay looked like a fool here as this was basically a 3v1 and he still lost clean. The work was alright though otherwise and was fine as expected. Ciampa was the favorite going in and pulled this one out. 

The Iinspiration do a video. We see clips of Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor going after them at the AEW House Rules Australia that show we didn't see. They say The Birds don't have the balls to go after them. They say they will make their debut on Dynamite. They say they can step back, step up or step aside.

Thoughts: It was really dumb for them to debut The Iinspiration on an unaired house show. Why AEW did that is unknown especially since AEW had a longer special edition of Collision when they were in Australia. It's hard to care about that feud since we didn't actually see it.

We see a video on Clark Connors that is shot like it's a movie or an ad. We see him on the beach and at some kind of fight club. He talks to someone and said he knows how to play dirty. He says nobody ever wins in a fight.

Alex then chopos Tyra. Tyra takes a double suplex. Tyra takes a sandwich lariat then is hit with a hart attack. Tyra is pinned.

Thoughts: AEW doesn't like to tell us who jobbers are usually until midway through the match. It's very frustrating as a reviewer and doesn't help anything. The Birds won as expected here and hit some stiff shots. Tyra had cat style paint on her face.

The Swirl, Private Party, The Outrunners and Dralistico/Rush all briefly talk about an upcoming $200,000 tag on next week's Collision.

He says "whoever wants to step up" and Jetspeed come out. Mike says they could be unstoppable but he beat Kyle in the Continental Classic and Kevin beat Okada there too. Okada says they never beat Protokada. Kyle then says "b!tch" and Kevin says he likes it and it's funny. He says a tag match with them would be box office. Mike and Kevin then challenge them for singles title matches and offer to defend their trios titles against them. Kevin says who they choose as a partner doesn't matter as they will stay on top. 

We get a Darby Allin vs Gabe Kidd video. Darby is with Orange Cassidy on a roof. Gabe says he will push up daisies and Darby says there's a reason he didn't die yet. He says the story doesn't end with Darby vs Gabe and challenges Gabe and Clark to a tag match.

He then walks by. Hook runs into Anthony Bowens. Bowens says Hook is one of his best friends and has had his back since he started. He says he'll be getting a former trios and tag champ. Hook says he doesn't have to sell himself to him but this is business. He says the question is if he's a proper fit for The Opps. He says they are killers and asks if Bowens is a killer. He says he will think about it and tells him to think about what he said.

All our girls are down. Rosa sends Hart into the commentary table. Kris suplexes SB. Kris single leg package tombstones Hart. Rosa package side powerbombs Hart and wins.

Thoughts: It was fast paced but not that good. There were a lot of weak superkick here and they didn't connect on everything. 

Thekla comes out. She says if there's one thing she can't stand, it's two dumb b!tches. She says if Rosa is ready to get toxic. She tells Kris to tell her how she made her cry and bleed. Thek says Rosa should retire already. She says to give it up for the past of the AEW Women's division and says now it belongs to her.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout. Did it accomplish much else? Not really. Idolo didn't fly too much here and Ishii stuck to the usual forearms, headbutts and lariats.

Bandido comes out and claps for Idolo after. We are told they will be facing each other at Revolution.  

Overall thoughts: We had a bit more star power than usual which was nice but we still had the usual Collision matches and squashes. I do think they did an okay job of making this feel somewhat important and the show wasn't bad overall. I would give it a 6 out of 10 as the wrestling mostly carried this one. It was an okay show here. I would say the 8-man tag was the best match on here.
