Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/aew-dynamitecollision-11192025.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/aew-collision-1262025.html 

Note - This show is on a Thursday at 8PM so they could avoid WWE's PLE this weekend. 

We are in Nashville, Tennessee. Excalibur, Nigel McGuinness and Tony Schiavone are on commentary.

AEW Continental Classic 2025 Gold League - PAC vs Mike Bailey

They trade shots to start and chop each other. Mike hits a kick combo on him. Pac suplexes him on the floor. Mike is thrown into the rails and Pac steps on his face. Mike's head is banged off the buckles and he is thrown hard into the corner and goes down. 

Pac cravates him. Pac basement dropkicks him. Pac elbows him on the top of the head. Mike 2nd rope dropkicks him. Mike spin kicks him and chest kicks him. Mike running ssp's him for 2. Mike leg sweeps him on the apron then triangle moonsaults outside. 

We go to PiP break and return. Pac top rope belly to belly suplexes him for 2. Mike facekicks him. Pac evades superkicks and is facekicked. Pac pump kicks him. Pac rebound germans him. Mike standing moonsault double knee drops him.

They trade facekicks and facekick each other at the same time. They then facekick each other at the same time on the floor outside.

Mike spinning roundhouse kicks him. 

Mike poisonrana's him then superkicks him. Mike spinning high kicks him. Pac hits a hard running lariat then does the brutalizer. Mike is out and Pac wins.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. Mike took a top rope belly to belly which meant nothing and he also took a horrible looking german on the floor which didn't have much of an effect on him. It was an indy style match and they had a couple of goofy spots where they facekicked each other at the same time.

We then see Okada watching this in the back. 

Lexy tries to interview Daniel Garcia and Mox in the back. Garcia says he has to drop off dead weight in Matt Menard. He says he needs him to bleed for him one more time tonight. He says when he gets through him, he will go for the TNT Title and Menard won't be with him. 

Brody King and Bandido are interviewed. Band says he feels bad as they lost the titles because of him. He says he feels proud. He says King taught him how to fight. He says he will not let the loss happen again. King says the titles aren't the only thing that keeps him alive. He says Brodido isn't over and doesn't have to be over. He says they will fight for the tag titles for a long time. He says Band has Final Battle next week and he has to prepare for that. He tells him to walk in and out of Final Battle as ROH champ.

Daniel Garcia vs Matt Menard

This was not well built to even though it should be the end of the feud. Mox joins commentary for this.

They lock up and break in the corner. DG piefaces him then is pushed over. Matt hits mounted corner punches and clubs on him. DG is sent into the rails. DG's head is banged off the steps. Matt hits mounted punches outside near the rails. 

DG running knees him then pounds on him in the corner. DG hit headbutts and knees to the head. Matt is bleeding. We go to break and return.

DG crabs Matt then Matt reverses it and crabs him. DG ddt's him on the floor. Matt's head is banged off the commentary table. DG dropkicks the steps into Matt's head, which is next to the post. Matt gets in and falls down. Matt does DG's dance and rolls him up.

DG hits chops, Matt chops back and Matt clubs on him. DG dropkicks him then does a bulldog choke. Matt is out and DG wins.

Thoughts: It was fine. Matt bled here and they treated it as more of a fight than a wrestling match. Matt lost as expected and that should be the end of this feud. I have no idea where Menard will go from here.

DG then talks trash after and stands on him.

Mark Briscoe comes out with his title. Mark says he's thankful to be there. He says he's humbled to be the TNT champ. Mark says he was having a hard time deciding who should challenge him next for the TNT Title. He tells DG not to let his mouth write a check that his @ss can't pass. Mark talks about eating Thanksgiving dinner and says he will devour him like it. They butt heads and DG walks off. 

The Demand talk in the back. Kaun says Ricochet his fulfilled his quest for gold. Ricochet says he is the champ and he sets the tone. Ric says he has done everything he has set out to do here. Ric says we should be thankful for a champ like him. Ric says his quest for gold was a success because of Toa and Kaun. Toa says he reserved reservations for the best 5 star restaurant, but it is in Nashville.

Tony Schiavone interviews FTR and Big Stoke in the ring. Stoke says it's the best night of his life as FTR are the champs. Stoke says Full Gear was a spectacle but everyone talked about FTR vs Brodido. He says FTR prevailed through every obstacle put in their way. He says he's humbled and privileged to introduce them. 

The lights go out and The Bang Bang Gang of Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn arrive. Gunn says they were the last tag team to pin FTR in the ring and says they want to be first to congratulate them on being 11x champs. He then says to put your guns up if you are tired of FTR. Juice says they don't want to hear them brag again and they know how good they are. Juice says they won $200,000 last week though. He says they have green but want gold. 

Juice says they beat them and it's not the first time. Juice says they don't care where or when, they just care that the next time they fight, the titles are on the line. Dax yells at them and his belt is knocked down. Juice says maybe next time is their time. Austin says they are fighting for his brother and Jay White. 

MxM TV come out. MxM are dressed up as The Tin Man and The Lion from The Wizard of Oz. Mansoor rips the crowd and says this is the MxM casting call. He says they are off to see whose @ss they are kicking tonight.

MxM TV (Madden, Mansoor and Johnny TV) vs The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum) and Dalton Castle

The faces are hit from behind. JTV throws Taya into Dalton. Mansoor hits mounted corner punches on Truth. Truth powerbombs him. Turbo hits punches on the heels and slams them. Madden leg lariats Turbo. MxM miss a double elbow drop. 

Dalton comes in and suplexes JTV and Mansoor. Madden is forced to ride the top rope crotch first. Dalton exploders Madden. Mansoor is hit with total recall then The Runners hit a double elbow drop on him. Dalton hits a bangarang on Mansoor and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a short one and not super serious as expected. I have no idea why MxM keeps doing these in a kayfabe sense. Shouldn't they be tired of getting their butts kicked? I wish they could have had a full regular match as it would have been good.

Ricochet and Toa come out. Kaun appears in the ring behind the faces. Ric tells them to turn around and Kaun dropkicks Dalton Turbo takes a headbutt and a double spinebuster. Dalton is pendulum dropped face first. 

Ricochet points out someone named Michael Ray in the crowd. He pokes him and says he would never make in wrestling. Michael pushes him and Ric taunts him. Ric threatens him. 

The Don Callis Family are interviewed in the back. Rock says he's thankful for his DCF jacket. Hech talks in Spanish. Mark Davis says he's grateful for nothing and less. Josh says he's grateful for Don's wisdom. Takeshita says he's thankful to be in The Continental Classic and this family. Okada says he's thankful that he doesn't have to team with Takeshita. Takeshita yells at Okada and we cut away.

Katsuyori Shibata vs Eddie Kingston

They fight on the ramp and KS boots him. KS throws him into the rails. KS hits him with the rail top cover. Eddie is in hair and KS pushes him over. The belly rings and Eddie double underhook suplexes KS for 2. KS corner spears Eddie and chokes him. KS germans him. 

KS foot chokes Eddie in the corner. KS top wristlocks him and stomps the arm into the mat twice. KS stomps the arm. They trade forearms. KS boots him in the corner.

We go to PiP break and return. KS low blows him in front of the ref. The ref doesn't care and KS goes for an armbar. Eddie boots him out of the corner and ddt's him to win.

Thoughts: The finish was absolutely horrible here. Something had to have happened. KS low blowed Eddie and the ref saw it then Eddie just ddt'd him to win. This was bizarre and what we got wasn't that great.

Eddie talks on the mic after. He says Hook is still his boy and he has to deal with his decision. Eddie says they wanted him to come out here and "shoot". He says he doesn't want to accept the love from the fans as he doesn't think he deserves it. He says he doesn't act or try to get a character over. He says he is pro wrestling and says he loves the fans as they love pro wrestling. He says he wakes up everyday and doesn't know if he will live or die. He says he does it for kids who want to get into wrestling but says don't do it. 

Eddie says Samoa Joe will lead Hook down the wrong path. Eddie says he only has peace when he's in the ring. He says winter is coming and tells Joe not to defend the title against him. Eddie then holds up a kid in the crowd.

Thoughts: I don't know what this was. I don't like shoot promos or talk about people being characters, because this is wrestling and all of this and all the people in it are supposed to be real.

Red Velvet does a promo. She says Mone put up a good fight against Kris Statlander. She says 13 belts wasn't so lucky, was it? She says the only reason Mone beat her is that she saw an opening and took it. She says Mone is a fighting champ and so was she. She says she wants her rematch at ROH Final Battle.

Thekla vs Tay Melo

Tay misses a charge and is thrown down backwards. Tay takes her down and hits mounted shots. Thek then hits mounted shots. Tay shoulder throws Thek twice then back kicks her for 2. Tay does an unusual submission on her. Thek ropebreaks. Tay is tripped into the ropes and Thek facekicks her there. Thek suplexes Tay on the ramp. We go to PiP break and return.

Tay hits a big shot and Thek laughs. Thek hits a big slap. Tay ties her hair up and slaps her. Tay then clubs on her. Thek hits a big forearm and drops her. Thek does a brutalizer and Tay turns it into a pin attempt. Thek superkicks her in the face. Tay pumping knees her for 2.

Tay hits a gotch style piledriver for 2. Thek stomps Tay's foot. Thek spears her then curbstomps her for the win.

Thoughts: This was different with Tay getting fired up and them hitting each other hard. I don't know if this was the right moment for it but I appreciate the effort and it was interesting at least. Man everyone is just shooting tonight on AEW...

Skye Blue and Julia Hart come out and beat up Tay after. Jamie Hayter comes out. Kris Statlander then comes out and the heels back off. 

AEW Continental Classic 2025 Blue League - Konosuke Takeshita vs Roderick Strong

RS does a backbreaker. KT backrolls into a german on him for 2. KT pumping knees him then hits a raging fire to win.

Thoughts: It was an okay match as expected. RS kept KT from doing anything too wild. I had no issue with this and it was a fine main. KT got the win here as expected.

Overall thoughts: We had some weird stuff here with Eddie shooting, something funky going on in the Eddie/Shibata match and Tay/Thek getting worked up in their match. It was an okay night of wrestling but it was the usual Collision B-Show where the stars were anywhere but here and where you could easily skip the show. I thought the main was the best match on here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 total.

Blue top rope crossbodies Robin. Blue goes for a top rope hurricanrana on Robin. Robin initially blocks it then Blue pulls his mask off and hurricanrana's him. Robin's team wins by DQ.

Thoughts: I didn't really get this one. Blue and Vig were the faces here but were heelish as they tried to take the heels' masks off. Blue then totally ripped off Robin's mask, got busted and got mad about it. It's a shame the finish was bad as the action was good otherwise.

Robin talks to Blue on the mic after and wants a hair vs mask match. Blue accepts but it's lucha, so who knows. Sangre says they should do a double hair vs double mask match. Vigia says they will accept any challenge then Vig and Blue get hit.

Thoughts: They only had 10 minutes and wasted the first half of this. The second half was better though and had some nice moves and action and turned this around some. They had a lot of sloppy moments though which shouldn't have happened with a vet like Maya.

We then cut ahead for some reason and Mist has won the match. We later see in the replay that Mist won with a la mistica.

Thoughts: I knew there was some kind of issue with the feed during this but I didn't expect that. Atlantis was talking to the camera then we cut away and Mist won. 

It was a longer bout and it wasn't particularly fast paced. The heels all teamed up on the faces early. Atlantis saved Mist from elimination for some reason and then they ended up fighting each other. The heels also fought each other too. Atlantis formed an alliance with Gran Guerrero here but Gran just gave it up and did moves to him like anyone else. Atlantis and Mist then were the final two and the feed messed up on the finish. I appreciated that they tried to tell a story but the execution could have been a little better. We didn't see the finish though and it's hard to rate this without it.

Oro takes off Neon's mask and pins him. Hechicero's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: I didn't like this that much. The heels got too much offense in during the first half without a lot of excitement. The faces got most of the offense in during the 2nd half. There should have been a DQ for the ref being pulled out on the count. They did a nice job focusing on Oro vs Neon though. There was no commentary for most of this due to the technical issues that started during the last match.

Neon talks to Oro on the mic after and wants a singles bout. Oro wants to do it now. Oro says everyone is already leaving. He says he will accept then rips his mask off and stomps him.

Overall thoughts: It wasn't the best CMLL show. It could have been but things didn't work out the way they were supposed to. The opener had bad heel/face logic. The women's match had an injury and sucked. Maya/Dragon had a lot of sloppiness. The cibernetico was going okay but the end got cut off due to technial issues and who knows what we missed. The main had a slow first half and really only just furthered Oro/Neon. We also lost the commentary for most of this. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 as there were a lot of issues.

The girls all hug after except for Saki, as she boots C away. Ami talks on the mic after. Syuri talks on the mic too. They all then pose together.

Overall thoughts: It was a house show so no one was going all out. But, we got a bunch of acceptable matches. There was nothing bad here but nothing really memorable either.  I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as the show was decent. I liked the Rian/Waka vs Anou/Poi tag best here.

Thoughts: I'm glad CC got the win here as I thought he might lose at times here. I didn't like OC doing the weak leg kicks but at least he mostly stopped there with the comedy. OC got thrown around a lot during this as expected. It had a lot of action and highlights.

Roderick strong comes out then Takeshita, Fletcher, Dorada, Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey all come out and fight. Dorada top rope moonsaults the heels outside. Okada comes onto the ramp as OC hits an orange punch on Yuta. 

Thoughts: This really wasn't the best big brawl ever and I have no idea why people like Dorada were out there.

Overall thoughts: It was a very wrestling heavy edition of Dynamite as expected. We had 5 matches and all got more than enough time to play out with the main going 9 minutes overtime. But it also meant this was light on the stories. I thought Darby's match was the best match of the night here and maybe OC/CC was alright too. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 overall and thought it was just okay.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches and a new interview segment as usual. None of it was must see though the women's match wasn't that for the level of talent involved and how little time they had. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Jim actually gets an intro with his old "Crank It Up" theme.

Razor boots him in the gut and punches him. Jim's head is banged off the buckles. Razor misses a corner charge and Jim wristlocks him. Razor eye pokes him and hits him in the back. Razor's head is banged off the buckles then Razor hits a uranage.

Razor boots him in the gut and back elbows him. Jim bends over and is hit. Jim is seated up top. Razor hits a 2nd rope backdrop then hits a razor's edge to win.

Thoughts: Jim got a little in before going down but the outcome was never in question here. Razor needed to be put over a bit more than he was here. I was surprised to see Jim get theme music.

WWF Event Center

This isn't from the localized version of this show.  

Crush does a promo. He says Repo has him for Summerslam. He says other than being a thief and a cheat, he's sure Repo is a stand up guy. He tells Repo to come up with ideas to take him down then when his ideas blow up in his face, he should remember if it was worth being a thief and wonder how long his skull will hold up.

Money Inc. and Jimmy Hart do a promo. Hart says to bring the two dummies with them - Ellering and Rocco. IRS says they wrestled LOD once and beat them for the tag titles. IRS says they don't mind beating them again. Ted says neither of them have a title but what's at stake is who is the #1 contender. Ted says they didn't lose their titles and got ripped off. Ted says they have to beat these team to become a contender.

Overall thoughts: We had all squashes and one rare star vs star match with Boss Man beating Skinner. We got more speculation about who Perfect will manage and they pushed the family aspect of Davey vs Bret more. We got tons of Summerslam talk as you would expect here as the show is only about 2 weeks away. There wasn't anything must see on this one but it did do it's job in building up Summerslam 1992.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced match with a lot of moves and not so much selling as usual with these two. The moonsault exploder should have finished it. It was an indy style match and there was no reason to expect Drake to lose here.

Ethan Page talks to Sol Ruca in the back. He says she'd be N-A champ if she stopped worrying about Zaria. Page says she should be playing 2nd to nobody. He says don't go out to Zaria's match and says only worry about herself. Myles Borne comes in. He and Page argue. Borne says he's locked in tonight.

Thoughts: This was without question the longest Speed match to date and answered the question of what happens when a vacant Speed title match goes to a draw. I couldn't really get into this match though. Zar didn't quite throw Fallon around that much and Fallon's not one of the roster's better workers.

We get a Shiloh Hill video. He says he was a fan since he was 6 years old and broke his dad's nose when they were doing wrestling. He said his dad gave him a wrestling shirt and WWE noticed it as he wore it to games. He says he has worked every job. He talks about his tooth getting knocked out in training when he started WWE.

Thoughts: Lei winning was a big surprise here. I have no idea why they did that here but it's something TNA would do. They had a few sloppy moments as usual and I thought it was about average. JG got dropkicked hard from the 2nd rope and JG almost got killed on a top rope spanish fly.

Fatal Influence talk in the back. They say it's 2 down, 1 to go and Lainey is up next to win the Evolve Title. Jacy tells her to go take it from Kendal Grey tonight. Ava comes in. She says they interfered last week and tonight so they are banned from ringside for Reid's match.

He says he can use it to his benefit. He says if he can't beat Oba, who can? He says he is Ricky Saints and he is the NXT champ.

Thoughts: KG busted out some new stuff here. Action wise it was alright but there was no great story beyond heel vs face work. I'm not sure why the heels were allowed out here when Ava banned them from ringside. There better be a punishment for that.

Darkstate talk in the back. Dion is happy about being put in the Iron Survivor Challenge. He says he wants to seek out some singles gold for Darkstate. He says when they strike, nobody is safe.

John Cena announces the girls for the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge. He picks Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Kelani Jordan, Jordynne Grace and Kendal Grey.

Thoughts: Those aren't the best picks possible for that one though Sol and Kelani should be fine. I'm interested to see what Kendal does in this.

Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifying Match - Trick Williams vs. Myles Borne

Trick flying lariats MB. He stomps him. MB sunset flips him for 2. MB dropkicks Trick for 2. Trick throws MB down backwards. Trick suplexes MB for 2. MB hits a zig zag for 2. We go to break and return.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Myles win here. It wasn't the most dramatic ending and I thought the win fell a little short unfortunately. This was all action for the most part but there wasn't a lot of story. Borne is now using Dolph Ziggler's zig zag as a finisher. This was okay but it didn't get over as much as it was supposed to and would have been better suited for a PLE.

The lights go out and Darkstate head down to to the ring. Hendry, Evans and Leon come out to help and the 2 sides face off. 

Overall thoughts: It was a heavy wrestling show here with a lot of up and coming developmental talents and unfortunately, it meant the quality wasn't the best. I didn't love anything here and the main and semi-main were just okay. I didn't like the first two matches that much. Myles got a big win in the main but it didn't work like it should have and I don't love Trick losing again. I was also surprised Oba Femi wasn't here. I would give this one a 5 out of 10 total and I thought it was only average. It was definitely not the usual weekly NXT show.
