Pac pump kicks Jay in the corner. Pac top rope dropkicks him. Pac running lariats him then submits him with the brutalizer.

Thoughts: Eh. The announcers put over Jay but Jay isn't a guy who should really be getting squashed. But this is AEW and it's Where The Big Boys Lay.

Thunder Rosa does a promo. She says she's been in CMLL but has been following along. She challenges Divine Dominion to a tag title match.

Zack twists AP's arm with his feet. Zack euros AP's arm and AP chops him in the leg. Zack PK's him. AP shoulders him in the leg. Zack pulls back on both arms and AP taps out.

Thoughts: It was a random one. Zack worked the arm a bit and won with a submission on it which was fine. I thought the match was average though and needed some more excitement.

Owen Hart Foundation 2026 Women's Tournament Semi Final Match - Athena vs. Maya World

We just saw this on ROH not too long ago.

They lock up and Maya is backed up in the corner. Ath puts her down and pats her on the head. Ath spinning bodyscissors her then Maya shoulders her over. Ath cartwheels out of a flying headscissors. Maya rolls her into a pin attempt for 2. Ath then tries a pin on her.

They try to dropkick each other at the same time and headflip up together. Ath superkicks her. Maya throws Ath face first into the buckles then 619's her. Maya basement dropkicks her. Maya tries to cannonball her off the apron but is caught and hit with ataxia on the floor.

We go to PiP break and return. Ath superplexes her. Maya running euros her for 2. Maya flying headscissors her and rolls her into double stomp. Maya 2nd rope moonsaults her for 2. 

Ath rolls her up for 2. Ath sitout powerbombs her for 2. Maya cutters her for 2. Ath cubrstomps her for 2. Maya fallaway slams her with a bridge for 2. Ath superkicks Maya outside and Ath is thrown into the rails. They fight on the rails. Ath uranage's her there. Ath piefaces her and tells her to get up. Ath brings up Maya's brother. Maya hits forearms and flurries on her. Ath headflips into a forearm on her in the corner. Ath hits a top rope diving o-face on her for 2. 

Ath superkicks her twice. Maya rolls her up and pins her.

Thoughts: Big upset here with Maya beating Athena. It's weird. Ath never loses in ROH but loses often here. This guarantees Mone wins the Owen Hart Tournament. The match was decent with Maya being the underdog and getting some shine before picking up the big win.

Mercedes Mone comes out. She claps for Maya. Mone hugs her. Ath then ends up hitting Maya and Mone joins in to stomp Maya. Maya is then put in a crossface by Mone.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual Collision with lots of random matches and limited starpower. I didn't like the opener. Kris/Mina went well. The Hurt Syndicate won a squash. Mistico/Dante was an okay flying match. Pac won a squash. Zack/Priest was average and the main was a bit fun with Maya World pulling off a big upset. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average.
