AEW Collision was live on TNT and HBO Max from Truist Arena
in Highland Heights, Kentucky! With Grand Slam: France just
three days away, we learned of four new matches on a card
that now features four championship matches and a qualifier
for a brand new match at AEW WrestleDream, which is coming
your way in two weeks from Orlando, Florida.
AEW World Trios Champion Kofi began the night with a hard-
fought victory over ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty, who had
been undefeated in singles competition since June 2025! With
the win, Kofi made it clear that The New Level wants more
than just trios gold. He challenged Bandido for the ROH
World Championship at Grand Slam: France!
Thekla tried to get AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné
to come out of her locker room for a chat, but Moné wasn’t
in there and blindsided Thekla, leaving her lying there.
Later, Queen Aminata beat Julia Hart and found herself in
line for a shot at the AEW Women’s World Title, so she’ll
get Moné this Tuesday in Paris for the AEW Women’s World
Championship!
In the main event, AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley took
everything he could handle from the Don Callis Family’s Jake
Doyle and still managed to win the Continental Eliminator
match. Plus, we learned that AEW World Champion Will Ospreay
and Tony Khan worked together to make the first Clockwork
Carnage match in AEW, which will take place in two weeks at
WrestleDream. The AEW World Championship will be on the line
in a field of eight with unique rules!
All that and more went down tonight in Kentucky for
Collision!
AEW Collision Results From Highland Heights
Kofi & Lee Moriarty Speak to Renee Paquette
Renee Paquette was backstage moments before the opening
contest, joined by AEW World Trios Champions Kofi and Austin
Creed as well as ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty and Shane
Taylor Promotions. Tonight, Kofi would be making his singles
debut in AEW, stepping into the ring with ROH Pure Champion
Lee Moriarty.
Renee asked Kofi what he was expecting. Kofi looked around,
taking it all in, and said this was fantastic. They never
thought they'd be here, but here they were, and they were
glad for it. They came to AEW to face the best, he said, and
Lee Moriarty was one of the best up-and-coming stars in the
locker room.
Moriarty wasn't letting that one slide. He stepped forward
and made himself very clear: he was not some up-and-comer.
He was the longest-reigning ROH Men's Pure Champion of all
time — 799 days and counting. The best pure wrestler on the
planet. Not just in AEW, not just in Ring of Honor, but in
the entire world. Tonight, he told Kofi it was going to be
Kofi who had something to prove — not him.
Moriarty left them with that and headed toward the ring.
Kofi watched him go, a little taken aback. He turned back to
Renee and clarified — he meant it as a compliment.
AEW World Trios Champion The New Level's Kofi def. ROH Pure
Champion Shane Taylor Promotions' "TaigaStyle" Lee Moriarty
After that heated confrontation, this match picked up some
significant juice to begin tonight’s Collision. Creed joined
the commentary team to watch his partner and noted that Kofi
likes a moving target, while Moriarty will try to keep
things in a 3 x 3 box. That’s exactly what Moriarty did and
worked Kofi into the corner for a rope break, although
unlike Pure Rules, there is no limit; Moriarty made it clear
that was one. Moriarty continued to control Kofi by
maintaining control of his arm until he put on the Iron
Octopus. Kofi got another rope break and may have
underestimated what he was up against. Moriarty once again
worked Kofi’s arm, but this time, Kofi moved back to the
ropes and flipped free to send Moriarty to the outside. Kofi
charged up for a dive, so Moriarty ducked prematurely, and
Kofi bounced off the top rope with his head. Kofi enjoyed
staying a step ahead of Moriarty, so Moriarty pulled him
down by the feet with a cheap trip.
Moriarty came back in, and Kofi kept leaping over him until
Moriarty caught him with a flip, only for Kofi to land on
his feet! The crowd loved it, and Moriarty was clearly
frustrated. Moriarty charged into a big kick, but managed to
kick out at one. Moriarty stopped Kofi’s arm drag attempt
with a DDT that spiked Kofi into the mat! Wow, that looked
very bad for Kofi! He rolled to the floor, but Moriarty went
out to bring him back in. Moriarty snapped Kofi over with a
double underhook suplex and hung on to pause in the bridge
while Kofi rolled away in pain. Moriarty was exactly where
he wanted to be at this point.
As Moriarty continued to wear down a woozy Kofi, he sent him
to the corner, but charged right into Kofi’s pendulum kick
back through the ropes. Kofi went up top and jumped over a
stunned Moriarty, but walked back into a big back body drop.
Moriarty unloaded with uppercuts in the corner and sent him
to the opposite side. Moriarty put Kofi on the top
turnbuckle, but Kofi punched away and jumped off for a
tornado DDT! The crowd chanted for Kofi as he started to
string together offense for the first time in the match.
Kofi got sent to the corner and hopped to the second rope
before springing to the top for a moonsault! Creed couldn’t
believe Kofi was pulling out some rarely, if ever, seen
offense! Moriarty managed to kick out, and Kofi looked
shocked he hit the move, which allowed Moriarty to snatch
his arm. Kofi rolled on top for a near-fall.
Kofi stopped Moriarty with a kick and did a second-rope
springboard into a side Slingblade! He covered Moriarty for
another two-count. Moriarty escaped an SOS attempt and
turned into a belly-to-belly with a bridging pin that got a
two-count as 10 minutes passed in the match. Kofi knocked
Moriarty down and connected with the Boom Drop. Kofi charged
up for a Trouble in Paradise, so Moriarty caught him with a
backbreaker airplane spin into the Border City Stretch! Kofi
needed everything he had left to get to the ropes and break
the hold. Moriarty tried to stay on Kofi, but Kofi grabbed
him in a side choke so Moriarty had to go to the ropes!
Moriarty sent Kofi into the second turnbuckle with what Paul
Wight described as a “trunk pull,” and Kofi was stunned.
Moriarty lifted for a vertical suplex, but Kofi rolled it
into a near-fall. Kofi rolled Moriarty into another near-
fall. Moriarty tried a Cazadora, and Kofi rolled through
again, but Moriarty trapped his legs and shoulders to nearly
win the match. After Kofi escaped, he ducked a shot from
Moriarty and blasted him with Trouble in Paradise to get the
pinfall victory. What a fantastic back-and-forth between
these two to kick off Collision! Kofi offered Moriarty a
handshake, which was accepted before the ROH Pure Champion
left the ring.
A Tribute to PAC from Dynamite
As we continue to mourn the passing of our friend Benjamin
Satterly aka PAC, we took a look back at this past
Wednesday’s Dynamite, which was A Tribute to PAC from
everyone who loved him. After we looked back on the
emotional events of the evening, both Nigel McGuinness and
Paul Wight offered some extended thoughts
The Young Bucks Remember PAC
Matt and Nick Jackson spoke about their longtime friend,
PAC, sharing their memories and thoughts of Ben.
AEW World Champion Will Ospreay vs. AEW International
Champion Kazuchika Okada Coming at Grand Slam: France!
Before they meet this Tuesday in Paris for the AEW World
Championship, it was time to take a deep dive into the
history of Ospreay and Okada, which stems back to their time
in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, with comments from both men and
Don Callis. Ospreay is 2-9 against Okada in singles matches,
but he’ll try to stop the AEW International Champion from
running that record 2-10 and defend his AEW World Title this
Tuesday night on a special Grand Slam France Dynamite!
Clockwork Carnage for the AEW World Championship at AEW
WrestleDream!
Tony Schiavone explained that Tony Khan asked AEW World
Champion Will Ospreay what he wanted to do for the
WrestleDream AEW World Championship match, so Ospreay called
upon his experiences in the Casino Gauntlet, of which he won
the first two gauntlets. So with that, at AEW WrestleDream,
we will see Clockwork Carnage. The format: 8 wrestlers, two
stages, one winner. Two wrestlers selected at random start
the match, and every 3 minutes another randomly selected
wrestler enters. Until all 8 have entered, anyone pinned or
forced to submit is eliminated. Once the final wrestler
enters, all remaining wrestlers enter a 15-minute scoring
period where every pinfall or submission scores one fall,
and the wrestler with the most falls when time expires wins.
The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and
Roderick Strong) def. SoloRoto (Aaron Solo and Nick
Comoroto) & Griff Garrison
The Conglomeration had new blue and white warm-up jackets,
although that team camaraderie didn’t seem evident when
Strong rushed past his teammates to get to the ring and in
the faces of their opponents. Garrison danced at the bell,
so Strong ran across the ring to drop him with a running
knee to the ribs! Strong worked Garrison into the corner and
tagged O’Reilly. They unloaded with chops and kicks until
O’Reilly mounted Garrison for 10 punches. Strong tagged in
for another 10 punches. Cassidy tagged in, took off his
sunglasses and threw a barrage of punches that went way
beyond 10!
Strong chopped Comoroto in the corner and then took down
Garrison with O’Reilly. The Conglomeration hit a double
suplex on SoloRot,o and Cassidy dove to the outside to take
out Garrison. Cassidy threw Garrison back in and went to the
top rope, but Garrison hit the ropes, and Cassidy got
crotched on the top rope. Comoroto cleared out the
Conglomeration’s corner and tagged Solo, who decided to do
the Macarena. Cassidy answered with a Stundog Millionaire,
and Comoroto tagged in to eat a spinning DDT. Garrison came
in and got away from Cassidy on the apron, only to be taken
out on the floor by Strong and O’Reilly with a High/Low.
Solo tried to get Cassidy with a 21 Plex, but was yanked
over the top to the floor by O’Reilly and Strong. Comoroto
woofed up like Brody King, but took far too long to do it,
and Cassidy recovered enough to knock Comoroto out with an
Orange Punch to get the pinfall victory. That was a
dominant, efficient victory for The Conglomeration. They
didn’t have much time to celebrate before the Death Riders
came out for their trios match. Cassidy, Strong and O’Reilly
didn’t give any ground in the ring as the Death Riders
entered, but before anything else happened, we heard the
music of Bang Bang Gang.
Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta and Daniel
Garcia) def. Bang Bang Gang (Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn and
Ace Austin)
Before the match, we learned that Jay White will be out 1-2
months after he was injured in last week’s Tailgate Brawl
victory over The Dogs and Death Riders. Yuta and Austin Gunn
began this one with Yuta controlling Austin in the early
going before getting cocky and trying Austin’s jabs with
theatrics. Austin turned the tables and showed Yuta how it
was done before bringing in his brother, Colten. Colten
worked Yuta’s arm and brought in Ace, who came off the top
with a double axehandle to Yuta’s arm. Yuta cut him off with
a knee lift and tagged Garcia.
Garcia chopped Ace, but Ace got away with a cartwheel and an
arm drag followed by a dropkick. Castagnoli tried to cut
that off, but Ace knocked him to the floor with a dropkick.
Yuta came in to stop Ace by sending him to the apron. Ace
kicked him away and somehow avoided Castagnoli’s trip
attempt on the floor before nailing him with a thrust kick
from the apron to the head! Ace flipped over Garcia on the
apron and ducked Yuta upon entering the ring, only to come
back with a kick to Garcia’s head. He drilled Yuta with a
forearm and ran into a boot from Garcia in the corner.
Garcia sat on the top turnbuckle, so Ace caught him with an
enzigiri and shot that stunned Yuta. He put Yuta on his back
and then added Garcia on top before walking to the middle of
the ring for squats. Castagnoli had no interest in watching
an impromptu leg day for Ace, so he blasted him in the face
with a boot!
That changed the complexion of the match, as Ace was stuck
in the Death Riders’ corner for the next few minutes.
Castagnoli had Ace in trouble until he ran into a spin kick
and collapsed onto Ace’s back. Ace showed his leg strength
by standing up and dumping Castagnoli to the mat with a
Death Valley Driver. Garcia tagged in, but so did Colten,
and he opened up on the Death Riders! He dropped Yuta with a
neckbreaker and got major height to dropkick Garcia back
down. Austin tagged in and spun Yuta around with his speed
before running him into the mat. Austin followed with an arm
drag into a neckbreaker. Castagnoli entered, but walked into
a jumping clothesline from Austin. Austin nailed Yuta with a
spinning Flatliner. Colten jumped off Austin’s back to
clothesline Garcia in the back of the head. Colten covered,
so Castagnoli pulled his hair from the outside to break up
the pin.
Colten put Garcia on the top turnbuckle, so Garcia tried to
drop down for a powerbomb but couldn’t get Colten over.
Marina Shafir got on the apron to distract the referee so
Castagnoli could sneak in to hit the powerbomb. Garcia
covered Colten, but Colten kicked out! The crowd chanted,
“Gunns Up!” Colten managed to tag Ace, who was leveled by
Garcia. Austin took down Garcia, but Yuta immediately kept
the clothesline train going on Austin. Colten nailed Yuta
and then ran into Castagnoli, who tried the same on Colten
but didn’t budge. All six men faced off and all six took
each other out with what Wight called a “six-way lariat
entanglement.”
Shafir and Juice Robinson got in the ring for a face-off,
and the crowd rose to their feet! Gabe Kidd stopped that by
blindsiding Robinson and sending him to the floor. The Gunns
tried to chase Kidd up the ramp, but came back towards the
ring and got taken out by Yuta’s assisted plancha from
Castagnoli. Garcia rolled up Ace for a near-fall, but Ace
came back with a huge kick to send Garcia to the corner. Ace
missed a charge and immediately ate an uppercut from
Castagnoli, which set off the chain-reaction attacks by the
Death Riders. Even Shafir got in on the act behind the
referee’s back. Ace was picked up and held, so Yuta could
hit him with a Busaiku Knee! Garcia locked Ace in the Dragon
Tamer, and Ace submitted. The Death Riders win!
Darby Allin vs. Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Title at Grand
Slam: France!
Darby spoke. What a week, what a life, he said. It had put a
lot of things into perspective. All the things he's done
wrong, all the things he should have done right. But that's
life. Saturday night, he admitted, he genuinely thought
Steven Borden's wrestling career was over. He reminded
everyone that Borden is a guy who had a whole life before
wrestling — a family, an entire career he walked away from
because he wanted to do this instead. Pro wrestling.
Watching Borden get taken out on a stretcher was a humbling
experience. But when Borden came to the hospital, the first
thing he said was that he wasn't quitting. He wasn't going
to stop. That stuck with Darby. Championships, he realized,
aren't going anywhere. He thought about himself — what makes
him feel most alive. And the answer was simple: risking
everything, including risking losing the TNT Championship
itself.
And that's when he thought of Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher never
actually lost that title — it was taken from him while he
was injured. So Darby wanted to give him the chance to win
it back, fair and square. Grand Slam France. Darby Allin
versus Kyle Fletcher.
Because he needs to feel alive.
He'll see Kyle in Paris.
The Rascalz' Myron Reed def. SkyFlight's Dante Martin (with
Christopher Daniels)
This was a standby match added by Tony Khan during
Collision, and what a high-flying affair it was expected to
be. Martin and Reed surprisingly started slow until they
quickly went into a succession of pin attempts. Martin hit a
big knee, but Reed sent him to the outside. Reed tried to go
for a dive, but Martin came back in to stop him and threw
Reed to the floor. Martin stopped and let Reed come back to
the apron with a couple of heavy shots. Martin ran around
the ring and dropkicked Reed through the turnbuckle
connectors! Martin hit a couple of shots and got back in for
a dive, but Reed caught him with a stunner in the ropes.
Reed jumped over Martin and nailed a dropkick on the way
back in the ring before hitting another to stun Martin.
Reed caught Martin with a leg drop in the ropes and followed
with a spinning enzigiri. He tried to put Martin on the
ropes, so Martin sent him to the floor. Martin missed a
moonsault from the apron and landed on his feet, but Reed
caught him in a fireman’s carry off the apron and dumped him
to the floor! Reed threw Martin back in for a two-count.
Martin met Reed on the top for a superplex, but Reed came
back with a Stundog Millionaire. Martin backflipped out of
the way as Reed went to the floor. Martin hit a dive to Reed
on the outside.
Martin threw Reed back in, so Reed hit an enzuigiri on the
apron and went for a diving cutter, which Martin blocked on
the floor and turned into a poisonrana! What a reversal!
Martin threw Reed in and hit an enzigiri from the apron.
Martin went up top and looked around for some kind of
approval, but he took too long and ate a cutter from Reed on
the way down. Reed hit a No Cap Splash to get the pinfall
victory!
AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné Blindsides Thekla!
Thekla was backstage at Mercedes Moné’s locker room door,
and she had a message for the AEW Women’s World Champion.
She pointed out that the two of them had been shouting at
each other from across the building for weeks now, with
people constantly getting in between them. But at
WrestleDream, she said, it was going to be just the two of
them — so why not have a little face-to-face right now? Come
on over, she said. Let's do this.
Then the tone shifted — dripping with sarcasm, Thekla gushed
that she was Mercedes’ biggest fan. She had been waiting for
this moment forever. All she wanted was a photo and an
autograph. Thekla never saw Moné nail her from behind! Moné
called Thekla “a stupid little bitch” and stepped over her
before unlocking her locker room.
Divine Dominion ("Colossal" Lena Kross and "Megasus" Megan
Bayne) def. Emily Rose & Joiya Blake
Arkady Aura barely got out the names of Rose and Blake
before Kross and Bayne attacked. Blake was decimated with
repeated attacks in the corner by the former AEW Women’s
World Tag Team Champions. Kross crushed Blake with a diving
lariat, and Bayne flew across the ring to take out Rose with
a clothesline. Divine Intervention finished Blake for the
blowout victory! As Divine Dominion went up the ramp, they
were interrupted by Artist of STARDOM Champion Julia Hart,
who walked right between Kross and Bayne on the way to the
ring for the next match.
Queen Aminata def. Artist of STARDOM Champion Sisters of
Sin's Julia Hart
Aminata nailed Hart at the bell and knocked her to the
floor. Aminata chased her out,t and Hart got back in the
ring, but was immediately mounted for punches. Aminata
knocked Hart down again and went to Chocolate Kisses!
Aminata crushed Hart with a PK for a two-count. Aminata bent
Hart in half on the mat with an ugly-looking leglock that
had Hart in serious pain. Hart came back with an arm drag,
but Aminata put her right back down with a suplex.
Hart avoided Aminata in the corner and slammed her into the
top turnbuckle. Hart briefly had the advantage and caught
Aminata with a tarantula in the ropes, but Aminata was able
to come back with a backbreaker. She snapped Hart to the
corner with a suplex and nearly knocked Hart out with a
face-wash boot in the corner. Aminata smushed Hart with a
double stomp from the top rope, but Hart managed to kick
out. Hart bailed to the floor, so Aminata threw her into the
barricade. Aminata sat Hart in a chair and hit a dropkick
from the apron that knocked Hart out of the chair!
Aminata threw Hart back in and missed another double stomp
from the top. Hart hit a thrust kick and tried to trade
shots, but Aminata nailed a stiff forearm. Hart was able to
lock Aminata in an octopus, but Aminata escaped with an Air
Raid Crash! Hart kicked out at two! Aminata tried another
pin, but Hart got her in the Hartless Lock after a couple of
attempts. Aminata stood up to get out of it, so Hart hit a
double boot lungblower. Hart connected with a running
forearm in the corner. Hart tried to push up to the top
rope, but Aminata caught her legs and put Hart on her
shoulders. She walked her out to the middle of the ring and
adjusted her grip into a German Suplex! Aminata put Hart
away with Off With Her Head and got the pinfall win!
Kofi Challenges ROH World Champion Bandido for Grand Slam:
France!
Austin Creed and Kofi were backstage, buzzing. Creed
couldn't contain it — Kofi had just beaten one of the
greatest Ring of Honor champions of all time in Lee
Moriarty, a man who'd held the ROH Pure Championship for
roughly 800 days and hadn't lost a singles match in about a
year. Kofi had done that.
Kofi soaked it in — yeah, he did that, and it felt good to
say. But Creed pressed him: was he satisfied with just that?
Kofi wasn't. Satisfied being trios champions? No. They
wanted tag gold, singles gold — they wanted it all.
Creed suggested that meant they should be in line for a
bigger opportunity soon. Kofi brought up Bandido. Creed said
the bases were loaded now; Kofi agreed. And what better
place to make those aspirations come true than Grand Slam
France?
Kofi wanted Bandido for the ROH World Championship!
Clockwork Carnage Qualifier: "Jungle" Jack Perry vs. Samoa
Joe at Grand Slam: France!
After All Out, we heard from Perry, who said Joe was back.
People had been saying Perry might be asking for more than
he could handle, but he wasn't backing off that stance. Joe
had been gone for months — and Perry reminded him that he
was the only one with the balls to call him back.
Say what you want about him, Perry said, but he makes things
happen. Joe was here because of him. And he'd backed it up —
he beat Shibata. Yet Joe wouldn't even shake his hand.
People kept telling him Joe was going to kill him for this.
Perry said he was willing to risk it — because Joe had
something he wanted. And one way or another, Joe was going
to give it to him.
We then heard comments from Samoa Joe.
He'd heard the calls. He understood the quest Perry was on —
the desire to be seen as a killer. But to become one, Joe
told him, you have to face one.
Joe pointed out that Perry was a bladesmith at heart, and
that mattered here. Because when Perry looks out at the
world, he sees a hammer — something that beats steel into
shape, into purpose, into form.
And maybe, Joe said, when Perry looks at him, he sees the
anvil. The foundation on which metal is wrought, where steel
is brought to life.
But Jack needed to understand something about this equation
— Joe is the fire. Unquenchable. Uncontrollable. Not a tool
to be used, but something to be respected.
And Joe was going to teach him that lesson. Because when the
fire finishes raging, when it's burned all the weakness away
— Perry had better hope there's something left of him.
Don Callis Family's Mark Davis def. Adam Priest
Rocky Romero joined commentary for this match as Davis
immediately hammered away at Priest. Priest tried to answer
with shoulder blocks to no avail and was slammed with ease
by Davis. Davis came back with chops, and Priest was slowed
and rolled to the mat. Davis tried a powerbomb, but Priest
fired back and sent Davis to the floor with a headscissors.
Priest dove out with a torpedo dive and stayed on Davis with
continued attacks on the floor. Davis fought back, but
Priest got him with a dragon screw in the ropes. He went to
the top turnbuckle for a DDT, so Davis threw him to the mat
and blasted him to the corner with a shotgun dropkick. Davis
flipped Priest over with an overhead double underhook suplex
and a senton. He used a cocky cover on Priest, who kicked
out but was clearly in trouble.
Priest was in major trouble until he hit a desperation chop
block to the front of Davis’ knee. With Davis hobbled,
Priest scampered to the top for a tornado DDT. Priest kicked
at Davis’ leg and rolled through a bodyslam attempt to keep
the attack going. Davis fought out of a half crab with a
palm strike, so Priest came right back and locked it in.
Priest powered out and sent Priest to the corner before
throwing him across the ring with a German Suplex. Davis
tried to end Priest, so Priest tried a backslide to no
avail, and he slipped into a small package for a near-fall.
Davis immediately grabbed Priest for Close Your Eyes and
Count to Three to get the impressive victory.
Queen Aminata Gets AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné
in Paris!
Renee Paquette caught up backstage with Queen Aminata and
Mina Shirakawa, pointing out that was three straight wins
over top talent in AEW for Aminata. Tony Khan, Renee noted,
was already signaling that it could lead to an AEW Women’s
World Title shot.
Aminata lit up at the mention. They'd already had a great
Saturday, she said — did everyone see how she beat Julia?
And how Mercedes Moné took out Thekla earlier? Juicy stuff.
But there was something even juicier on the horizon: AEW
heading to France on Tuesday, with WrestleDream just two
weeks out.
Queen Aminata made her intentions clear — she doesn’t wait
until after WrestleDream. This, she said, was happening in
France. She reminded everyone of her history with Thekla —
she hates that woman, and there was nothing she wanted more
than to beat Moné for the AEW Women’s World Title in France
and finally deal with Thekla’s “raggedy, stupid ass Toxic
Spider!”
Aminata said she lived and had actually gone to law school
in France — so there was no better place to crown the queen.
Moné might be the CEO, but Aminata was going to show
everyone in France exactly why she's the one and only
African woman wrestler in AEW. She shimmied away with Mina.
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match: Death Riders'
Jon Moxley (c) def. Don Callis Family's Jake Doyle
Moxley got Doyle in a waist lock, so Doyle backed him into
the corner and the two went face-to-face on a tense break.
Moxley pushed Doyle away and worked him to the mat, where he
manipulated and snapped Doyle’s fingers. Moxley tried to
shoulder block Doyle, but fell to the ground when he hit the
wall known as Doyle. Doyle hit a shoulder block of his own,
but Moxley got back up and knocked Doyle down with a
shoulder block off the ropes. Doyle worked Mox over in
multiple corners until he missed a charge and Moxley mounted
him for 10 punches. Doyle came right back and knocked Moxley
off the apron to the floor!
Doyle started to string together offense after that, and his
power was on full display against the AEW Continental
Champion. As Doyle continued to do more damage, Moxley had a
harder time fighting off Doyle’s power. Moxley finally
rolled to the floor and collapsed before milking the count
for as long as he could to recover. Moxley came back in and
got in Doyle’s face before unloading with a flurry of shots.
Doyle fought out of the corner, and the two began exchanging
strikes. That turned into an exchange of lariats before
going back to punches and kicks from Mox.
Doyle stopped him with a side suplex and tried to charge out
of the corner, but Moxley fired out of the opposite side
with a lariat to drop Doyle with 10 minutes to go! Both men
stumbled to their feet, and Mox hit a cutter! Doyle went to
the floor, so Mox followed with a big dive. Moxley threw
Doyle back in and tried a piledriver, but Doyle powered out.
Doyle tried to powerbomb Moxley, so Mox gouged his eyes.
Moxley hit a stuff piledriver, but Doyle’s large traps
helped him fight it off! He clobbered Moxley and hit a
sitout powerbomb for a close two-count!
Doyle pulled Moxley up for a clothesline, so Moxley flipped
him off. That angered Doyle, who tried to swing Moxley
around for a side slam, but Moxley managed to get Doyle’s
back and for a rear naked choke! Doyle collapsed to the mat
and tapped out! Moxley wins! Moxley and Marina Shafir
celebrated to end Collision!
