Posted on 8/30/126 by Bob Magee

With less than 24 hours to AEW All In: London, AEW was back
in Glasgow for Collision on TNT and HBO Max! It was the
final stop before Wembley Stadium, and some opponents didn’t
have to wait until Sunday to throw down thanks to a few big
tag matches! However, the night started and ended with a
champion standing tall.

After Mercedes Moné beat Glasgow’s own Isla Dawn, AEW
Women’s World Champion Willow Nightingale came out looking
for revenge on Moné following her attack on Nightingale’s
hand days ago on Dynamite. While Moné was able to escape
unscathed, Nightingale promised that she’ll still be AEW
Women’s World Champion and will still be smiling after
Sunday. 

In the main event, Konosuke Takeshita took everything The
Beast Mortos threw at him, but still managed to win the
match with a Raging Fire, as AEW International Champion “The
Protostar” Kyle Fletcher watched from the commentary desk.
Fletcher had enough of being a spectator and laid out
Takeshita with the title belt and then dropped him on it
with a brainbuster to send a strong message before Fletcher
defends against Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada at All In!

Plus, AEW World Trios Champions “Hangman” Adam Page and
Brodido teamed with Bang Bang Gang to beat The Demand and
The Lethal Twist. However, that didn’t stop the hostilities,
and it turned into a chaotic brawl with The Dogs, Death
Riders and The Conglomeration all joining the fracas before
these teams and a wild card squad meet with the AEW World
Trios Titles on the line tomorrow in Trios Roulette Royale!
And TBS Champion Maya World challenged CMLL World Women’s
Champion Persephone to face her at The Buy In!

It was a wild night to close out the week in Glasgow before
All In: London tomorrow! Here’s everything that went down on
Collision!

"The CEO" Mercedes Moné def. Isla Dawn

Collision opened with the challenger for the AEW Women's
World Championship tomorrow at All In: London, Mercedes
Moné, who was coming off a violent and brutal attack on
champion Willow Nightingale's hand just days earlier on
Dynamite here in Glasgow. But speaking of Glasgow, out came
the hometown favorite, Isla Dawn, stepping up to challenge
Moné tonight. Dawn would pick up one of the biggest wins of
her career, if not the biggest, if she could knock off Moné
less than 24 hours before Moné's own championship match at
All In: London.

When the bell rang, the crowd continued showing their
support for Dawn, who soaked it all in. Moné talked trash
and pushed Dawn into the corner but gave a clean break. Moné
got in Dawn's face and tried to berate her, but Dawn avoided
a couple of strikes and hit a kick combination. When she
went for a running boot, though, Moné escaped and cracked
Dawn with a backstabber. Moné punished Dawn against the
ropes, choking her before dragging her to the corner and
laying in vicious forearms, then returned to the middle of
the ring for a falling armbreaker. Moné stayed on Dawn's arm
with a nasty kick in the corner, tripped her to the mat, and
connected with a falling meteora. Moné pulled her back out
and covered for a two-count, but Dawn wasn't ready to go
yet.

Moné locked in a variation of a hammerlock, and when Dawn
tried to get back to her feet, Moné simply grabbed her hair
and yanked her back down, mockingly kicking at her face.
Still, Dawn kept feeding off her hometown crowd's support,
finally getting to her feet and hitting a kitchen sink knee
to create a moment of hesitation. Moné charged back in, but
Dawn met her with a flurry of strikes, a clothesline, and
another boot to take Moné down. Dawn sent Moné into the
corner and followed with a running knee to the chin, then
folded her in half with a teardrop suplex for a cover, but
Moné kicked out just before three.

Moné escaped Dawn's grasp and caught an incoming kick to
deliver one of her own, staggering Dawn before sending her
into the corner with a sunset flip, then charging across the
ring with a meteora. Moné brought Dawn to the middle of the
ring for the Moné Maker and locked in the Statement Maker
for the tap-out victory, much to the chagrin of the Glasgow
crowd.

As Moné celebrated, Willow Nightingale's music hit, and
despite her bandaged left hand, the AEW Women's World
Champion marched down to the ring. Moné came out to meet
her, but Nightingale kicked the Owen Hart Cup belt out of
her hand and chased her into the ring, forcing Moné to
retreat out through the crowd. Nightingale then demanded a
microphone and addressed Moné directly, telling her she
could try to attack her, try to take this moment away from
her and the people of Glasgow, but injured or not, she was
still there and still talking. Nightingale promised there
would be many more good moments to come, vowing she'd be
damned if she let Moné take her championship on Sunday, and
mocked Moné's obsession with attacking her smile, declaring
once again that she is the AEW Women's World Champion and
she is still smiling. As Nightingale led the crowd in
clapping, Moné was beside herself, begging everyone to cheer
for Willow while they still can.

Jon Moxley Won’t Be Shaking Against Nigel McGuinness in
Wembley

With Marina Shafir by his side, Moxley had a few things to
say while addressing tomorrow's AEW Continental Challenge
Cup Final against Nigel McGuinness at All In: London.

He started singing, “They’ll be blue birds over, the wide
Cliffs of Dover.”  Tomorrow, Nigel McGuinness comes home
with lightning in a bottle, and wondering what he plans to
do with it. He said he's watched McGuinness endure this
tournament through sheer will, dogged determination, veteran
toughness and craft, and now McGuinness finds himself in the
finals at Wembley Stadium, making every dream he ever had as
a little English child come true.

Moxley acknowledged that McGuinness's big moment didn't come
the way he thought it would, adding that it never does, but
said that this is the kind of thing they make movies about,
and that he'd watch that kind of happy movie. But he warned
that the real world is scary enough. There's a fantasy world
some people might be living in where McGuinness wins at
Wembley Stadium, he said, and then there's the real world,
where he won't hesitate to rip McGuinness's leg off in front
of his brothers, his sister, his grandmother, and everyone
he loves, and feed it to his family dog. He said not to take
that as disrespect, because he knows exactly who McGuinness
is, better than anyone, and exactly what he's capable of,
and how quickly he can make that three count come and go.

Moxley said McGuinness will have to get him before he gets
him, and that he thinks about pressure differently than
most. He called himself the defending Continental Champion,
but said he isn't so sure that's entirely true, quoting the
idea that a man is not truly free until he has nothing to
prove, nothing to lose, nothing to gain, and nothing to
hide. He left the audience to wonder which of the two of
them that description truly fits, with this game going into
the fourth quarter, third period, overtime, sudden death,
the clock running down, and one final warning: make sure
your hand isn't shaking, because his sure won't be.

Trios Match: Jericho, "Speedball" Mike Bailey & Komander
def. Tommaso Ciampa, Mark Davis & Nick Wayne

All six men involved in this trios match will also collide
tomorrow in the Men's Casino Gauntlet at All In: London,
where the winner earns a guaranteed AEW World Championship
contract. Speaking of the AEW World Title, Jericho is the
only former AEW World Champion in this trios match, and
Glasgow gave him a champion's welcome, serenading him and
the rest of his team with "Judas" before the bout got
underway. Don Callis, representing Mark Davis, joined the
commentary desk sporting a fresh tan from a trip to Croatia
and showing it off.

Jericho egged on the crowd's chants as both Ciampa and Wayne
tried to shut them down. Revisiting their rivalry from the
previous month, Jericho and Ciampa started the match, though
at the bell, Ciampa bailed to the outside to raise Don
Callis' hand, a gesture that did not sit well with the
Glasgow crowd. Jericho pointed at Ciampa, but Ciampa broke
away from their first two tie-ups. Jericho moved Ciampa to
the corner, but Nick Wayne pulled Jericho down from behind.
Bailey grabbed Wayne, then Komander and Davis entered the
ring, and all six men squared off before breaking apart to
the outside.

Bailey handled Wayne, but Ciampa came over to help out, only
for Jericho to come from behind and nail Ciampa, sending him
into the commentary desk. Ciampa fought back and sent
Jericho into the ring, but Jericho dove out with a baseball
slide, taking out Ciampa on the opposite side of the ring.
Bailey hit a moonsault from the second rope onto Davis, then
held Wayne as Komander flew over the top rope with a tope
con hilo.

Unfortunately for Jericho's team, that advantage didn't
last. Jericho wound up isolated in the wrong corner, facing
a constant attack from Ciampa, Davis and Wayne. Jericho
broke free of Wayne with chops, but Wayne answered with a
kick to the chest and a Death Valley Driver. That opened a
window for Jericho to make the tag to Bailey. Wayne charged
at Bailey, who sent him into the top turnbuckle and kicked
the buckle pad back into his face. Bailey went to the top,
jumped over a rushing Wayne, and rolled to the corner. When
Wayne charged again, Bailey stopped him with a big boot,
then did the same to Ciampa. Bailey got on the second rope
and took down both Wayne and Ciampa with a dropkick, booted
Davis to the floor, and hit a vicious trifecta of kicks on
Wayne before a standing shooting star press nearly got the
win, but Davis broke it up.

Ciampa stomped Bailey to the corner, and Komander paired off
with Ciampa; Bailey ended up with Wayne, and Jericho with
Davis. Komander, Jericho and Bailey all hit ten punches in
their respective corners, then all three connected with
hurricanranas from the top rope, pausing to celebrate
together. Bailey put Wayne down with a Falcon Arrow and
scaled to the top rope for a shooting star press that nearly
won the match, but Wayne kicked out in time.

Bailey picked Wayne back up and shot him into the ropes as
the crowd chanted for Speedball, and Bailey avoided Wayne
with a back handspring elbow. Wayne used his own shiftiness
to avoid Bailey and hit a flying back elbow of his own,
immediately pouncing on Bailey to rain down punches before
throwing him over the top rope to the floor, where Ciampa
got in some cheap shots. Ciampa threw Bailey back in, and
Wayne covered him for a two-count.

Wayne rolled into Bailey into the corner and tagged in
Ciampa, who put Bailey's leg over the second rope, stomped
it, then stomped it again on the mat, following with a right
hand to Bailey's forehead as Wayne pulled up a chair at
ringside and put his feet up next to Callis. Bailey chopped
his way back, but Ciampa cut it off with a big boot. Ciampa
tagged in Davis, who hit a splash on Bailey and brazenly
pinned him with his knees on Bailey's chest, allowing Bailey
to kick out. Bailey fought to escape Davis with everything
he had, and it seemed like he might break away after a kick
sent him to the corner, but Ciampa and Wayne pulled him back
before he could make the tag. The two of them then went
after Bailey at the same time, sparking an argument and a
shoving match, with Davis stepping in between them to get
their heads back in the match before it boiled over into
anything more.

Wayne missed a charge on Bailey in the corner, and Bailey
escaped Davis' grasp, rolling under Ciampa to make the tag
to Komander. Komander sent Ciampa over the top rope with a
low bridge and scaled the ropes, but before he could do
anything, Davis rushed in, only for Komander to meet him
with a boot to the face. Komander went back up top and
walked the tightrope across the ring to grab Wayne's arm on
the opposite side, using it to rebound off the adjacent
ropes and send Wayne across the ring with an innovative arm
drag that had Glasgow buzzing! Davis missed a charge at
Komander in the corner, so Komander sprang back to the top
rope and took Davis down with a hurricanrana. Ciampa tried
to get to Komander, but Komander ducked a shot and hit a
DDT.

Ciampa tried again for Komander, but Komander ducked a
punch, booted Ciampa in the gut, and hit another DDT, then
sent Ciampa to the apron with a rebound dropkick. Bailey did
the same to Wayne, and Jericho, whose move they were all
mimicking, used it to take down Davis. A flying Jericho then
took Davis down off the top rope. Bailey laid out Wayne with
a moonsault, and Komander once again walked the tightrope
across the ring, delivering a Spaceman to Ciampa on the
floor! Callis was throwing a tantrum at the commentary desk,
tossing papers everywhere! But Komander wasn't done yet,
splashing Ciampa from the top rope for a nearfall!

Jericho and Ciampa traded strikes until Ciampa chopped
Jericho into the waiting arms of Wayne, who held him for
Ciampa. But when Ciampa went for a rolling elbow, Jericho
ducked, and Ciampa laid out Wayne instead. If that happens
tomorrow in the Men's Casino Gauntlet, no problem, but
tonight, those two men are partners! Ciampa turned right
into a Judas Effect from Jericho, whom Davis immediately
laid out. Komander then came off the top rope, using his
legs to catapult the much bigger Davis to the floor.

Wayne and Bailey went back at it in the ring, both going for
kicks at the same time, but Bailey's was stronger and
knocked Wayne down. Bailey hit a thrust kick to Wayne's jaw,
then went into his roundhouse rotation for Time Adventure,
but Wayne came out of the corner to stop him with a big boot
of his own. Wayne lifted Bailey for the Prodigy Plex, but
Bailey turned it into an inside cradle for a near-fall.
Wayne charged at Bailey, who quickly shifted his body into a
Green Tea Plunge, hooking Wayne deep for the three count and
the victory for his team! Bailey takes some extra momentum
with him into tomorrow's Men's Casino Gauntlet!

The Brawling Birds and Divine Dominion are Ready to Clash At
All In!

We took a look at the rivalry between two teams undefeated
in tag team action, finally facing each other with the AEW
Women’s World Tag Team Championship on the line! The Birds
want the belts and are ready to brawl, but Megan Bayne and
Lena Kross don’t plan on letting the belts go anywhere!

Trios Match: The Dogs (Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors and David
Finlay) def. Ronan King, Judas Grey & Landon Riley

Gabe Kidd is back with The Dogs, putting them at full
strength after participating in the 2026 G1 Climax in New
Japan Pro-Wrestling, with this marking his first match in an
AEW ring since losing the AEW World Trios Championship at
AEW Dynasty in April. The Dogs will be one of seven teams
vying for those Trios titles tomorrow in the Trios Roulette
Royale.

The Dogs attacked at the bell, with Kidd and Connors taking
King and Grey to the outside. In the ring, Finlay took it to
Riley in the corner and tossed him with a release vertical
suplex. King got up on the apron, so Finlay booted him back
down into the clutches of Kidd, who spiked King on the floor
with a brainbuster. Kidd got up and yelled about being stuck
in New Japan for months, clearly with a lot of pent-up anger
to get out.

Grey attacked Kidd from behind, though it had no effect, and
Grey quickly realized the mistake he'd made. Kidd slapped
him across the face, and Connors ran through Grey with a
flying shoulder block. Finlay put Grey on his shoulders and
threw him into the ring post with reckless abandon.

The Dogs returned to the ring, and Riley found himself
surrounded. Riley tried to fire up and threw shots at all
three of the Dogs, but it did nothing. Kidd laid him out
with a massive forearm across the head, before Finlay and
Kidd hit a flapjack on Riley, and Connors followed with a
spear. It was already over at that point, but Kidd added a
piledriver, and Finlay finally and mercifully finished
things off with an Overkill, covering Riley for the pin. The
Dogs continued to attack after the bell, celebrating their
dominant victory out on the floor, and looking every bit
ready for tomorrow's Trios Roulette Royale.

The Multi-Year History of Willow Nightingale and Mercedes
Moné

Ever since Willow Nightingale won the AEW Women’s World
Title and was set to face Moné at All In: London, their
rivalry went to new heights. Moné hates everything about
Nightingale, especially because she’s been there for
everything Moné has done in AEW, including beating her for
the TBS Title at the turn of the year. Tomorrow isn’t about
the TBS Title. It’s about the one championship Moné hasn’t
managed to win and Nightingale’s chance to remain on top
after an amazing comeback.

Nigel McGuinness Will Be Haunted Forever If He Loses to Jon
Moxley

With a lifetime achievement that not even he thought
possible still alive, McGuinness left some final words ahead
of tomorrow's AEW Continental Challenge Cup Final against
Jon Moxley at All In: London.
McGuinness sang “It’s coming home, it’s coming home, Nigel
is coming home.” And that a dream once only imaginable to a
young boy is now a smile on his face tonight, headed to
Wembley Stadium. He asked how many people can say that, but
acknowledged that he also realizes this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity could fail at the final hurdle. He said that
would haunt him forever.

McGuinness told Moxley that he knows he's the favorite, and
that in the clutch, Moxley always comes out on top. But to
even get to Wembley Stadium, McGuinness said he had to
battle against the odds, and every time, he was able to
steal it. So he told Moxley to be aware that stealing is his
strategy, because he's coming for him and for the
Continental Championship. 

“I’m gonna steal it away from you. The Artful Dodger is
leaving with the gold! Jon, it’s coming home.”

12-Man Tag Match: Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, Austin Gunn and
Colten Gunn) & AEW World Trios Champions "Hangman" Adam Page
& Brodido (ROH World Champion Bandido and Brody King) def.
The Demand (Ricochet, Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun) & ROH World
Six-Man Tag Team Champions The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal,
Blake Christian and Lee Johnson)

Three of the four teams in this 12-man tag match will be
part of tomorrow's Trios Roulette Royale. But tonight, it's
the AEW World Trios Champions “Hangman” Page and Brodido
teaming with one of the teams they'll face tomorrow, Bang
Bang Gang, to take on The Demand and the ROH World Six-Man
Tag Team Champions The Lethal Twist. There was a bit of back
and forth between Hangman and Jay White when the champions
entered the ring, clearly looking ahead to tomorrow's title
match.

The Demand and The Lethal Twist attacked to jump-start the
match, and everyone spilled to the outside except Bandido
and Johnson. In the ring, the two traded reversals, and
Bandido stopped Johnson with a finger pistol. Johnson
stopped, then charged at Bandido, who caught him in the gut,
followed by a knee to the forehead and a thrust kick that
dropped Johnson. Bandido brought Johnson to the corner and
tagged Hangman, who then immediately was tagged by White,
not sure if that was in fun or maybe some intentional
miscommunication.

White tagged in Colten Gunn, who dropped down to set up
Johnson to get walloped by Colten's picturesque dropkick.
Must run in the family. The crowd broke out in a Gunns Up
chant, and Austin tagged in, but Christian was unable to
track him because of how fast Austin ran the ropes. He
tripped up Christian and jumped over him with a neck snap to
send Christian to the outside. Johnson, outnumbered by Bang
Bang Gang three to one, walked right into a DDT from White.
Colten covered, but Johnson kicked out. Johnson reversed the
whip to the ropes, and Lethal kneed Austin in the back.
Austin turned around and nailed Lethal, but that allowed
Johnson to clip him from behind.

Christian tagged in, then tagged Lethal immediately, and
they sent Austin to the ropes. Austin reversed it and tried
to kick Christian, who caught the boot. Lethal spun Austin
around, and Christian hit an enzuigiri into a cutter from
Lethal. Lethal stopped to celebrate with a strut.

Austin came back with a chop and tried to get away from
Lethal, who whipped him into the corner, where Austin threw
his body at all his opponents and knocked most of them off
the apron. He ran back across the ring and dove to make a
tag to King. King laid out Lethal and took everybody out
from the opposite corner. King whipped Lethal to the corner,
and then Bandido and Page sent King into Lethal with a big
splash. King threw Lethal out to Bandido, who hit a one-
armed gorilla press slam on Lethal, followed by King
assisting Hangman on a splash, in a nasty display of power
and brutality. Christian and Ricochet hit stereo moonsaults
onto White and Bandido on the floor, which left King all
alone in the ring to get stomped by The Demand and The
Lethal Twist.

King wound up isolated for an extended period, struggling to
get anywhere near his teammates to make a tag. Ricochet
tagged in Christian, who came over the top with a senton
splash, and Johnson did the same, Christian following with
one of his own. Then Liona hit the biggest of the four, but
King was able to kick out. Christian brought King down to
the mat with a rear chinlock as Ricochet demanded Tony
Schiavone tell the people at home that they're winning right
now. Liona came back in and deadlifted King, but King was
able to break free with back elbows. Liona pushed King away
and tried to charge back at him, but King threw a
desperation lariat, sending both men crashing to the mat.

White couldn't believe what he saw on the apron! Hangman
tagged in and started hitting anybody who moved from the
opposition, sending Lethal, then Johnson to the floor,
followed by a clothesline from the apron that sent Ricochet
down as well. He threw Christian back with a fallaway slam
and sprang back to his feet for a cross body over the top to
take out Johnson, Lethal and Ricochet. Page got right back
on the apron and went to the top rope, but White instructed
him to go back down, so Page moonsaulted onto Ricochet and
Lethal on the floor instead. The crowd loved it, and Page
was feeling it as he got back in the ring.

Back inside, Page avoided a Lethal Injection and stopped a
charging Lethal with a boot from the apron. Page lined up
Lethal for a Buckshot Lariat as White made a blind tag.
Lethal ducked under the lariat attempt only to be caught by
White for a Blade Runner. However, Lethal was able to swing
around and avoid it, as Page flipped over the opposite side
to destroy Lethal with a Buckshot Lariat just as White got
out of the way in time. White gave Page a thumbs up and
lifted Lethal into a Blade Runner to get the three count for
his team!

Page and White exchanged words after the match, and Page
didn't seem thrilled with White, although all six teammates
briefly raised each other's hands. That didn't last long,
though, as The Dogs hit the ring, followed by the Death
Riders, and then The Conglomeration! Now six of the seven
teams in the Trios Roulette Royale are brawling with each
other, with only the wild card team remaining to be revealed
in tomorrow’s match. How is anyone going to stop these men
from brawling? They might do it all the way to Wembley
Stadium!

Wembley Stadium is Ready for AEW World Champion Kenny Omega
vs. Will Ospreay!

We saw what Wembley Stadium looked like less than 24 hours
before AEW takes it over for All In: London! The atmosphere
will be unlike anything ever seen when Ospreay tries to
become the first British-born wrestler to win a world
championship on UK soil!

Artist of Stardom Champion Skye Blue of Triangle of Madness
def. Harley Cameron

This was Cameron's first match back in over a month. She was
last seen losing a TBS Championship match to then-champion
Hikaru Shida, and she returned to the ring tonight against
the always dangerous Skye Blue, one third of the Artist of
Stardom Champions Triangle of Madness. The crowd was
thrilled to see Cameron back in an AEW ring, but Blue
quickly took her down with a hair pull. Cameron didn't like
that and fired back with some knee lifts, but Blue stopped
her again with a big boot. She mounted Cameron for punches
and mocked the audience, then choked Cameron over the second
rope with her leg until the referee broke it up.

Blue sent Cameron into the ropes, and Cameron came back with
a clothesline to take Blue down. Cameron hit a splash in the
corner and mounted Blue for punches of her own. Cameron came
off the ropes looking for a bulldog, and Blue blocked it.
Cameron tried to switch into a single-leg crab, but Blue got
out of it with kicks up. Blue and Cameron each avoided each
other's kicks until Cameron sent Blue to the outside with a
knee lift. She jumped through the ropes with a pair of boots
to knock Blue into the commentary desk, then picked up Blue
and slammed her off the apron, and did so again on the other
side of the ring.

But when Cameron charged Blue for another attack, Blue
moved, and Cameron hit the steel steps with a sickening
thwack. Blue had now taken control of the match. Back in the
ring, Cameron tried to fight back, but Blue kept cutting her
off. Finally, Cameron used a couple of evasive maneuvers to
hit Blue with a kick to the side of the head, followed by a
lungblower. She came out of the corner with a Shining Wizard
that connected, but Blue once again kicked out.

Cameron hit another splash in the corner and put Blue on the
top turnbuckle. She went up to meet her, but Blue fought
back, and the two jockeyed for position in dangerous
territory. Blue dropped down and trapped Cameron's head in
the turnbuckle before hitting a thrust kick, then hit a
superplex on Cameron out of the corner, but only got a two-
count. Blue came running across looking for a knee to
Cameron's face, but Cameron caught it. The two exchanged
strikes in the middle of the ring until Cameron beat Blue
down to the mat. Blue answered with a thrust kick, and
Cameron avoided a headbutt, but Blue came back with another
thrust kick, so Cameron hit a kick of her own.

Cameron was mounting the comeback and bounced off the ropes,
where she took Blue down with a crucifix bomb, but Blue came
back with a running knee that was on target, and Cameron was
laid out. Both women were down. Julia Hart came out to the
ring and tried to pass one of the Artist of Stardom Titles
to Blue, but Cameron cut it off and wrestled it away. The
referee took the title belt away from Cameron, so he didn't
see Hart hand Blue one of the other titles and blast Cameron
with it. Blue covered Cameron for the three count, and Hart
got in the ring to celebrate with Blue.

TBS Champion Maya World Challenges Persephone at the Buy In!

Earlier today, Maya World stood inside Wembley Stadium and
said that even surrounded by the iconic venue, she couldn't
stop thinking about Wednesday's Dynamite. She called out
CMLL World Women’s Champion Persephone for embarrassing her
by hitting her across the face with her own TBS Championship
on World’s own network, and said now she wants to beat her
for free. She challenged Persephone to fight her tomorrow
night on the Buy-In, so everybody can see that it's still
her world.

TNT Champion "The Jet" Kevin Knight Confronted by Steven
Borden

Don Callis stood on the entrance ramp with members of the
Don Callis Family and introduced the next in a long line of
superior genetic athletes, TNT Champion "The Jet" Kevin
Knight. 

Callis took the microphone in the ring and said that even
while Darby Allin was being wheeled out last week, he had
something important to tell him. Callis said that from his
four hundred-foot super yacht, he watched Knight barbecue
Darby Allin, and that in that one act of violence, Knight
had grown into the man Callis always imagined he could
become. Knight said Darby had been too busy looking up at
Knight, and that for the past few weeks, Darby had been
asking just how far Knight was willing to take it, and now
everyone had witnessed that Knight is willing to go all the
way.

Knight told the crowd not to feel sympathy for Darby,
reminding everyone how Darby took him out with an exploding
backpack at Forbidden Door and how Darby busted Brian Cage's
head open with an exploding skateboard. He said Darby
brought all of this on himself. Knight then called out Darby
directly, reminding him that he had sent him to the hospital
three times and that things wouldn't be any different at
Wembley. He noted their Falls Count Anywhere match for the
TNT Championship technically has to start in Wembley, and
asked where Darby was hiding.

A hooded figure attacked Knight from behind, but the Don
Callis Family quickly swarmed him. They pulled the hood off
to reveal Steven Borden, the son of the legendary Sting and
a close friend of Darby Allin. Brian Cage and Jake Doyle
held Borden as Knight lined him up with the TNT Title, but
Callis stepped in to stop it, introducing the crowd to
Borden and telling his guys to let him go because he just
wanted to talk.

Callis told Borden that everybody says he has the athletic
ability to be as good as his father, but that Callis thinks
he could be even better. However, that will never happen if
Borden keeps listening to Darby Allin. Callis rattled off
Borden's college football statistics from his days at the
University of Kentucky and his combine numbers, saying he's
been scouting him and that the Don Callis Family isn't just
a family, it's a star factory that breeds champions out of
men like him. Callis said he believed Borden had really come
out to join the family, because there was no way he came out
just to get his ass kicked. Callis said it was awfully brave
of Steven Borden to get in there with the Don Callis Family,
and while he agreed Borden is a phenomenal young athlete,
he's no match for four men.

Borden said no, he came out to tell both Callis and Knight
that Darby will be there Sunday, and not just be there, but
take the TNT Title right off Knight's waist. Knight
responded by attacking Borden and cracked the TNT
Championship over his head!

As Knight and the rest of the Don Callis Family exited up
the ramp, AEW International Champion "The Protostar" Kyle
Fletcher made his way out, scheduled to be on commentary for
the main event between Konosuke Takeshita and The Beast
Mortos. On his way to the ring, Fletcher passed Knight and
briefly looked at the TNT Champion and fellow Don Callis
Family member before walking to the ring by himself.

Konosuke Takeshita def. LFI's The Beast Mortos

Takeshita wants to take some momentum into tomorrow's AEW
International Championship 3-Way against champion Kyle
Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada, but that won’t be easy against
Beast Mortos.
At the bell, even Fletcher recognized what a great matchup
this was on commentary. Mortos and Takeshita traded shoulder
tackles to no avail, then hit the ropes and tried again with
clotheslines. Both men made big contact, but neither would
go down until Takeshita finally took Mortos down with a
flying clothesline. He worked over Mortos in the corner with
punches to the body, then mounted him for punches to the
head.

Takeshita sent Mortos to the opposite corner, but Mortos
came back with a boot to the face and a bulldog to send
Takeshita face-first into the mat. A massive chop from
Mortos echoed throughout the arena. Takeshita went to the
ropes, but Mortos hit a shoulder block that knocked him to
the floor, then followed with one of the biggest tornillos
you'll ever see to take Takeshita out on the floor! Mortos
threw Takeshita back in the ring and hit a nasty
backbreaker, then popped him up for a Samoan drop, but
Takeshita was able to kick out at two before rolling out of
the ring.

Mortos kept control, but Takeshita refused to stay down.
Mortos missed a charge in the corner, and Takeshita sent him
into the ring post. Takeshita pointed it out to Fletcher on
commentary, and Fletcher yelled back that he needed to focus
on his match. Takeshita threw some right hands at Mortos,
but Mortos stopped him with a headbutt. Mortos charged at
Takeshita, but Takeshita caught him and flipped him over the
top rope all the way to the floor. What a display from
Takeshita! He got right in Fletcher's face!

Takeshita threw Mortos back in the ring and hit a running
knee in the corner, then an exploder suplex, but only got a
two-count. Takeshita threw forearms at Mortos, but Mortos
stopped him with a headbutt, so Takeshita came back with
another forearm and a massive Blue Thunder Bomb. Mortos
kicked out again! Takeshita couldn't believe it, but he put
his focus back on Mortos, who tried to find whatever
strength was left to stay in the match. Takeshita gestured
to the crowd that he was going for the Power Drive Knee, but
Mortos moved, and Takeshita ran into the corner.

Mortos turned it around into a spear, went for another, but
Takeshita got his knee up, and both men were laid out.
Takeshita sent Mortos to the corner, but Mortos came back
with a series of kicks and strikes to leave Takeshita
stumbling, then took him down with a crucifix bomb and
called for the end. Mortos popped up to Takeshita, but
Takeshita rolled it over into a crucifix bomb of his own,
picked Mortos up, and hit Raging Fire for the pinfall to win
the main event!

Fletcher took off his headset on commentary as Takeshita
celebrated in the ring, so he never saw Fletcher come from
behind with the AEW International Championship to lay him
out. Fletcher took off his jacket and rained down punches on
Takeshita, then stood over him and picked him up by the
hair. Takeshita threw some weak shots to get away, but
couldn't, and Fletcher dumped Takeshita on the AEW
International Championship with a sheer drop brainbuster!
Collision came to a close with Fletcher posing over
Takeshita and berating him before leaving the ring!
