AEW Collision Recap Tonight for Chicago
TNT Championship Match: Dustin Rhodes def. Lee Moriarty
AEW Collision kicked off from the Aragon Ballroom in
thrilling fashion as Dustin Rhodes defended his TNT
Championship for the first time against Ring of Honor Pure
Champion Lee Moriarty.
Moriarty, accompanied by Shane Taylor, refused an opening
handshake, setting an aggressive tone immediately. The bout
opened with an exchange of technical holds, Moriarty
capitalizing with swift dragon screw leg whips, targeting
Rhodes' left knee relentlessly. Dustin fought through
visible pain, rallying with stiff shots and a well-executed
snap power slam, earning enthusiastic praise from Tony
Schiavone: "Absolutely one of his great maneuvers!"
Late in the match, after exchanging strikes, Rhodes
delivered an atomic drop but Moriarty quickly responded,
locking Rhodes in a bow-and-arrow hold before viciously
slamming his knee into the mat. Fighting back valiantly,
Rhodes landed a Canadian Destroyer followed by the Cross-
Rhodes, but Moriarty demonstrated impressive ring awareness
by placing his foot on the ropes, breaking the pinfall
attempt.
The momentum swung wildly as Moriarty locked in an ankle
lock, grapevining Rhodes’ injured leg, nearly forcing a tap-
out. Rhodes barely reached the ropes, demonstrating immense
resilience. Moriarty then missed a big boot in the corner,
leaving him vulnerable. Rhodes teased the Shattered Dreams,
but was thwarted by referee Mike Posey. Moriarty capitalized
instantly, landing a flying knee strike followed by a swift
suplex, narrowly missing victory.
As Moriarty attempted a figure-four leglock, Rhodes
countered brilliantly into a tight small package, securing
the surprise three-count to retain the TNT Championship.
Immediately post-match, Kyle Fletcher, accompanied by Don
Callis, entered the scene, confronting Rhodes. Fletcher
confidently declared he had no reason to attack a beaten
down Rhodes: "I already outclass you in every single way,"
demanding a one-on-one title shot for the TNT Championship
next week. Rhodes, fueled by Fletcher’s recent disparaging
comments about his family, turned to the fans for their
approval before emphatically accepting Fletcher's challenge.
Rhodes added an explosive stipulation: the match would be a
Chicago Street Fight, punctuating his acceptance with a
defiant declaration, "I am your huckleberry, bitch!"
Juice Robinson Steps Up For the Bang Bang Gang
Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn of the Bang Bang Gang
delivered an impassioned statement backstage, laying out
their intentions clearly ahead of their crucial tournament
match.
Juice Robinson opened strongly, addressing previous
conflicts and financial losses: "Last week I stood here
talking about Ricochet costing the Bang Bang Gang $200,000.
In walks Big Bill, red hot sweating and spitting everywhere,
talking about me putting my nose in his business. Well guess
what, Big Bill? Tonight, your business is our business.
Except I'm not gonna be sticking my nose in your business.
I'm gonna be sticking my foot up your fat ass."
Robinson then outlined the group's ambitions, confidently
asserting their determination to advance: "After tonight,
your dreams in this tournament will be over and we will
advance. One step closer to Forbidden Door, one step closer
to the AEW Tag Team Championship. Hell yeah."
Austin Gunn added a deeply personal element to the Bang Bang
Gang's aspirations, reflecting on his brother Colten's
recent injury: "Like Juice was saying with Renee in his
exclusive interview, talking about how he won championships
all over the world except AEW. But tonight we have a chance
to fix that. But this tournament is a little bit more
personal to me because you'd normally see Colten right here.
But last week during the match, he looked me straight in the
face and he told me I had to finish the match by myself."
Gunn continued with conviction, underscoring the unity and
resilience within the Bang Bang Gang: "But ironically
enough, in the Bang Bang Gang, when one brother goes down,
another one stands up. So whether it's four Bang Bang Gang
members, three, two, it does not matter because if you're
not down with the Bang Bang Gang, we got two words for you:
Gunns up."
During AEW Collision, Tony Schiavone took a solemn moment on
behalf of AEW to honor and remember the legendary Hulk
Hogan, who unexpectedly passed away this week at the age of
71.
Schiavone began his tribute thoughtfully, noting, "It was
quite a week for all of us who have been in professional
wrestling for a long time with the unexpected death of Hulk
Hogan." He highlighted Hogan's monumental influence on
wrestling's history, emphasizing, "Hulk Hogan was the man
who brought professional wrestling into the mainstream in
the eighties and in the nineties, right here on this
network, right here on TNT."
Reflecting on Hogan’s significant role, Schiavone stated,
"Almost 30 years ago, Hulk Hogan lit the fire that began the
Monday Night Wars, and he also put WCW on the cable TV map
right here on TNT."
Acknowledging the personal impact of Hogan’s passing,
Schiavone reminded viewers, "Sometimes we take a look at
these stars that are bigger than life, and we forget that
they are just like us, human, and we forget they have
families that care about them."
He offered heartfelt condolences to Hogan's loved ones,
compassionately stating, "Our condolences go out to Hulk's
family, his children Brooke and Nick, his wife Sky. If
you've never lost a member of your family, you have no idea
what the pain they're going through right now. And believe
you me, it is intense."
Schiavone concluded his emotional remembrance with a
poignant message from all of AEW: "From all of us here at
All Elite Wrestling, RIP brother."
Toni Storm Has Quite the Quips for Athena
Lexy Nair interviewed AEW Women's World Champion Timeless
Toni Storm from an exclusive box seat at the Aragon
Ballroom, capturing Storm's raw thoughts following a vicious
confrontation earlier in the week.
Nair began, "I am trying to get a word in with AEW Women's
Champion Timeless Toni Storm, who was absolutely brutalized
Wednesday on Dynamite by the Ring of Honor Women's
Champion."
Storm, maintaining her poised confidence, delivered a sharp
and provocative response: "Athena! Last Wednesday was the
first time I had a woman in my box that I did not like. You
are the Forever Ring of Honor champion, but I think you're
confusing length with depth because nobody goes as deep as I
do."
Directly addressing Athena’s upcoming bout, Storm
elaborated, "And tonight you will be facing Alex Winsor, of
whom I have a nonsexual friendship with. And I'd love to see
nothing more than her to take that title away from you."
The champion then shifted attention to her own title,
challenging her rival to a definitive match: "As for my
title, we are in Chi-town, but I am anything but [shy]. So
when you are ready, sign on the line that has dotted and I
will be waiting. But between you and I, I don't think you've
got the ovaries."
Storm concluded emphatically, countering Athena's recent
claims: "You say AEW stands for Athena Elite Wrestling, but
we are living on Mondo Toni, so sit on it and spin."
AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament Quarterfinal:
Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn) def. Big
Bill & Bryan Keith
AEW Collision saw a heated first-round match of the AEW
World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament as Juice Robinson
and Austin Gunn of the Bang Bang Gang clashed against Bryan
Keith and Big Bill.
The match opened with Juice Robinson and Bryan Keith
showcasing technical skill, exchanging holds before Robinson
hit a shoulder tackle and quickly tagged in Austin Gunn. The
Bang Bang Gang demonstrated their chemistry early with a
sharp double hip toss earning them a near fall.
The momentum shifted dramatically as Big Bill entered,
towering over Gunn and swiftly targeting Austin’s left knee,
cruelly mocking Gunn by referencing the injury his brother
Colten had suffered previously. "Big Bill mocking Austin
Gunn saying how his brother's leg was injured last week,"
Nigel McGuinness pointedly observed. Bryan Keith maintained
pressure on Gunn's knee, skillfully isolating him in their
corner and working relentlessly alongside Big Bill.
In a desperate moment, Gunn low-bridged Big Bill to send him
to the outside, then managed to send Keith crashing over the
top rope, finally tagging in Robinson, who burst into the
match with explosive energy. Juice unleashed a rapid
assault, hitting a Russian leg sweep followed immediately by
a senton. Yet, a distraction allowed Big Bill to land a
massive boot from ringside, nearly derailing Juice's
momentum.
Keith and Big Bill combined for a brutal double-team
maneuver, driving Juice face-first onto Keith’s boot, but
Austin Gunn heroically broke up the pin. As Bill attempted
further tandem offense, Gunn disrupted Keith, allowing Juice
to deliver a remarkable Frankensteiner from the top rope.
Keith rolled through, attempting a pin, but Austin Gunn
quickly intervened, shifting Juice's leverage back through,
securing the decisive three-count for the victory.
"Always have your partner's back and Austin Gunn had his
back," praised McGuinness, underscoring the team's resilient
teamwork as the Bang Bang Gang advanced in the tournament,
setting their sights on the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
We see a package teasing the upcoming AEW World Tag Team
Title Eliminator Tournament match between the Outrunners and
Young Bucks next week on Dynamite!
Don Callis Does Some Don Callis Math
In a backstage segment during AEW Collision, Lexy Nair
attempted to get Shane Taylor's reaction to Lee Moriarty's
loss to TNT Champion Dustin Rhodes. Taylor's terse response,
simply questioning, "Loss?" conveyed immediate displeasure,
but that was the only word he got in before Don Callis
interrupted: "You know what? You're hot. I can tell you're
hot. Not all that happy myself." Callis quickly shifted
focus to their impending alliance in the high-stakes
$400,000 8-Man Tag Team Match scheduled later that evening.
Callis outlined the objective bluntly: "Here's the deal,
Shane, this Wednesday, the Young Bucks are gonna get into
the ring and they are gonna advance when they beat those
degenerate eighties punks, the Outrunners. But the
Outrunners may not even make it to that match next Wednesday
with the Bucks, if you and I have our way."
Revealing his strategy and asserting dominance, Callis
continued, "'Cause we're teaming up a little bit tonight,
we're pooling our resources. My guys and your guys are gonna
take out the Outrunners and anyone else who gets in our way.
And that's $400K. And that's 300 for me and 100 for you.
That's how we roll, bro. That's how we roll."
As Callis departed abruptly, Shane Taylor was left visibly
agitated, shaking his head and glaring in Callis' direction
with a pronounced scowl.
Platinum Max Caster’s Open Challenge Answered by Anthony
Bowens
AEW Collision featured a highly charged confrontation as
Anthony Bowens, accompanied by Billy Gunn, answered the "Who
Can Survive Five With the Best Wrestler Alive™?" open
challenge laid down by his former Acclaimed tag team partner
Max Caster.
Caster entered the ring with characteristic bravado,
taunting the Chicago audience: "I know they call this the
Windy City, but you guys really do blow." As Caster asked
for five minutes on the clock, Bowens stormed the ring. He
attacked aggressively from the outset, driving Caster into
the corner with a furious barrage of punches, yet the
crowd's vocal support for Caster clearly irritated him. Tony
Schiavone observed, "Bowens is supposed to be the most
popular of this former tag team, but they're chanting for
Max. And Bowens doesn't like it at all."
Bowens intensified his assault, chopping Caster viciously in
the corner, and then climbed the turnbuckle, taunting the
crowd further. He picked up Caster's petition clipboard and
emphatically broke it over his knee, proclaiming, "You're
nothing without the Pride of Pro Wrestling. You understand?"
In a decisive sequence, Bowens delivered a Fame-Asser
followed by a pinpoint superkick, leading directly into his
devastating Mollywhop spinning back elbow. Bowens covered
Caster for the definitive three-count victory.
Post-match, Bowens continued his assault, raining punches
down on Caster until Billy Gunn intervened forcefully,
pulling Bowens off and checking on their former partner.
Bowens briefly appeared poised to attack Gunn as well but
thought better of it.
Bowens left the ring visibly conflicted, shaking his head in
frustration as Gunn signaled to him to reflect carefully on
his decisions.
Nick Wayne & Co. Are Officially No Longer the Patriarchy
During AEW Collision, Lexy Nair conducted an interview
backstage with Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne, and Kip Sabian.
Nair began by asking if they should still be referred to as
"The Patriarchy," prompting an immediate response from
Mother Wayne: "Lexi? Not now and never again."
Nick Wayne confidently stated, "You see, when you start to
become the man of the house as well as a leader of men…" but
was abruptly interrupted by AR Fox, who stormed into the
scene, clearly agitated. Fox confronted Wayne directly,
declaring, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Last week you said you
was done talking, but you still here just talking. See? I
came to Chicago for a fight. So how about y'all two face me
and a partner tonight?"
Wayne, clearly irritated by Fox's challenge, retorted, "What
do you want from me, Fox? You want me to staple another
picture of your family to your face?" Fox remained defiant,
coolly responding, "Okay. You could try."
As tensions escalated, Kip Sabian interjected calmly,
advising Wayne, "Don't give him the satisfaction. If he
wants to lose again, let him." Fox confidently replied,
"Okay, we're gonna see who loses."
The segment concluded with a moment of unexpected tension as
AR Fox casually acknowledged Wayne’s mother, "What up,
Shayna?" This seemed to momentarily unsettle Nick Wayne, who
was briefly rattled and confused by Fox's familiarity.
$400,000 8-Man Tag Team Match: Outrunners (Truth Magnum and
Turbo Floyd), Tomohiro Ishii & Hologram vs. Hechicero, Lance
Archer & The Infantry (Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo)
AEW Collision delivered an electrifying $400,000 8-Man Tag
Team Match as The Outrunners, Tomohiro Ishii, and Hologram
faced off against Don Callis Family's Hechicero and Lance
Archer, joined by Shane Taylor Promotions' The Infantry
(Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo).
The match began with Don Callis providing an elaborate and
boastful introduction for Hechicero, declaring him better
than legendary luchadores. Early action saw Carlie Bravo
attempting to overpower Tomohiro Ishii, only to be flattened
by Ishii’s imposing shoulder tackle. Hologram entered
explosively, executing impressive tandem moves with Ishii
including a smooth suplex followed by a precise senton.
The match quickly escalated as Lance Archer dominated
multiple opponents, delivering a punishing big boot,
powerful chokeslam, and a devastating powerbomb, tossing
Hologram directly into The Outrunners. Returning from the
commercial break, Archer’s dominance persisted until Ishii
astonishingly lifted Archer into a massive vertical suplex,
drawing awe from the commentary team.
Capitalizing on the chaos, Hologram countered Hechicero
spectacularly with a double stomp from the top rope. Turbo
Floyd’s hot tag led to a fiery assault on The Infantry,
delivering decisive scoop slams. The Infantry momentarily
gained the upper hand after Don Callis interfered outside,
prompting Paragon's Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong to
intervene, running off Callis and his faction.
In the climax, The Outrunners successfully countered The
Infantry’s attempted combo offense with their signature
Miami Overdrive, securing the pinfall victory. Nigel
McGuinness encapsulated the frenetic finish by declaring,
"$400,000 to The Outrunners and the Conglomeration, but they
better give at least some of that to Roderick Strong and
Kyle O'Reilly of Paragon. He played a big helping hand."
After the match, we see an incredible package highlighting
the journey of Hangman Adam Page and Jon Moxley, hyping
their “Everybody Barred From Ringside” one-on-one match for
the AEW World Championship this Wednesday on Dynamite!
Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Skye Blue and Julia Hart) def.
Rachael Ellering, Mazzerati & Laynie Luck
AEW Collision marked the debut of the formidable new trio,
Triangle of Madness–Thekla, Skye Blue, and Julia Hart–as
they faced off against Rachael Ellering, Mazzerati, and
Laynie Luck.
Julia Hart began aggressively against Laynie Luck, quickly
asserting wrist control and showcasing impressive agility by
walking the top rope and crashing down onto Luck while
maintaining control. Skye Blue tagged in swiftly, continuing
the onslaught, before tagging Thekla, who viciously drove
Luck’s head against the bottom rope with a fierce kick.
Luck momentarily rallied, blocking Hart’s standing moonsault
with knees and tagging in Ellering. Ellering explosively
cleared the ring of all three Triangle members, delivering a
powerful senton and a textbook fisherman’s suplex on Hart
for a near fall. Skye Blue promptly halted this momentum,
tossing Luck out, allowing Thekla to execute a massive spear
on Luck on the floor.
Mazzerati entered the fray but was overwhelmed by seamless
teamwork from Hart and Blue, culminating with Thekla
delivering a decisive stomp from the corner for the pinfall
victory.
Post-match, Queen Aminata's music interrupted the
celebration as she approached the ring wielding a steel
chair, her vision still compromised from Julia Hart’s mist
last week. However, Megan Bayne ambushed Aminata from
behind, devastating her with a brutal running powerbomb. As
Bayne calmly exited, Triangle of Madness returned to the
ring, standing tall and triumphant over the fallen Aminata,
solidifying their impressive debut and setting a strong
precedent within AEW's competitive women's division.
Big Stoke Has Lots to Say to His Enemies
During AEW Collision, Lexy Nair conducted an intense
backstage interview with Big Stoke, who appeared visibly
injured, using a crutch on his right side and accompanied by
security guards. Stoke addressed his recent confrontations
with Adam Copeland passionately.
Stoke began assertively, criticizing Copeland’s recent
actions: "Lexy, I wanted this time to point out how supposed
good guy Adam Copeland had to hire a bunch of goons to do
his dirty work. Pathetic. I mean, Adam, I thought you were
supposed to be a hero. A hero fights their own battles. A
hero fights someone their own size, so why the hell do you
keep chasing after me every week?"
Shifting his attention, Stoke praised FTR's resilience in
the face of adversity: "Lexy, Hurt Syndicate attacked FTR
after a grueling match and FTR looked them in the eyes and
they stood tall. Now imagine what would've happened if FTR
was at a hundred percent and imagine what's gonna happen
when they win this tournament. Go to London and become 11-
time world tag team champions."
Stoke then turned his criticism towards Austin Gunn and
Juice Robinson: "But I know there are two people who are
trying to stop us because they advanced tonight. Austin
Gunn, Juice Robinson. Austin, if my brother got hurt, I
mean, the last thing I'd be trying to do is find a
replacement in Juice. And Juice, how does it feel knowing
that you are a side piece? Not choice number one. And I'm
gonna say the same thing that I'm gonna say when we're
standing over your broken bodies next week. Top guys out."
As Stoke passionately gesticulated with his crutch, Lexy
Nair incredulously asked, "Aren't you injured?"
A good question, Lexy!
A Conglomeration/Paragon Crossover? Maybe Not …
In a backstage segment on AEW Collision, Lexy Nair was set
to interview Tomohiro Ishii and Hologram following their
impressive $400,000 victory alongside The Outrunners. Before
Ishii and Hologram could respond, Kyle O'Reilly from Paragon
enthusiastically joined the celebration.
"Boys? That was a great win. So proud of you," O'Reilly
exclaimed, clearly thrilled with the team's success. He
continued with excitement, saying, "Us over at, uh, camp
Paragon. Well, we're really stoked on the whole Conglomerate
concept, and I was thinking maybe, I don't know, you know,
maybe one time…"
However, O'Reilly's exuberance was abruptly interrupted by a
visibly frustrated Roderick Strong, calling out impatiently,
"KYYYYYLLLLLE! Are you done yet?" As Strong then attempted
to walk away, O'Reilly quickly interjected, "Well, wait,
wait, wait."
O'Reilly then humorously suggested a celebratory plan,
referencing the team’s newfound wealth, "I just had what
Oprah calls an aha moment. You guys just won 200 grand.
Roddy's celebrating a birthday.” O’Reilly then appeared to
communicate with Hologram, who notably does not speak.
“What's that, Hologram? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Hologram, he
said we should go spend the money tonight and celebrate
Roddy's birthday in Chicago, and we'll get Brazilian steaks
and Brazilian waxes. It's gonna be great."
Despite O'Reilly's jovial proposal, Roderick Strong remained
notably unenthused. Kyle concluded exuberantly,
"Conglomeration on three! Hands in! One, two, three.
Conglomeration. This is great. I'm really excited about this
Conglomeration. The word of the day, it's ‘reunited.’"
Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian def. AR Fox & Angelico
AEW Collision featured an intense tag team match with Nick
Wayne and Kip Sabian, accompanied by Mother Wayne, facing
off against AR Fox and Angelico.
The match began aggressively, with Wayne immediately
attacking Fox, stomping him into the corner before tagging
in Kip Sabian. Sabian maintained momentum, delivering
relentless punches to Fox before quickly tagging Wayne back
in, continuing the assault with a hard kick to Fox’s gut.
Fox managed to shift momentum briefly with a twisting
vertical suplex on Wayne, dragging him into the corner to
tag in Angelico.
Angelico entered with forceful strikes, but Wayne quickly
regained control, countering an Irish whip into the ropes.
Angelico responded with an impressive standing arm lock,
momentarily grounding Wayne. However, Kip Sabian slapped
Angelico from the apron, distracting him enough for Wayne to
seize the advantage.
After the commercial break, AR Fox demonstrated incredible
resilience, simultaneously fending off both Sabian and
Wayne. Fox delivered a remarkable cutter on both opponents,
followed by an extraordinary dive over the top rope onto
Sabian. Fox then connected with a spectacular swan dive onto
Wayne from the top rope, but Wayne managed to kick out at
two.
In the closing moments, Angelico attempted a belly-to-back
suplex, but Sabian executed a blind tag, immediately landing
a missile dropkick from the top rope. Sabian followed up
with a devastating flipping reverse cannonball in the
corner. Meanwhile, Wayne neutralized Fox outside the ring
with a moonsault. At the insistence of Mother Wayne, Sabian
reluctantly tagged Wayne back in. Wayne capitalized, hitting
Christian Cage’s signature Killswitch maneuver on Angelico
for the decisive three-count.
Kris Statlander Delivers Passionate Message to Willow
Nightingale
In a backstage segment on AEW Collision, Renee Paquette
interviewed Kris Statlander, who requested the time
specifically to address an important matter. Statlander
began by candidly stating, "Renee, I'm sorry. I have
something that I really wanna get off my chest."
Renee, sensing the seriousness, asked, "Is it about Willow?"
Statlander immediately responded with a playful moment,
exclaiming, "Congratulations. Renee, you win a hundred
thousand dollars," before humorously blowing a handful of
torn tissue into Renee’s face, mimicking celebratory
confetti.
Quickly returning to her original intent, Statlander
directed her message firmly towards Willow Nightingale,
expressing disappointment, "Willow, I know you wanna move on
and start fresh, but I just would've thought you would've
thanked me first." She elaborated further, "Thank you Stat
for stepping in front of the Death Riders for me. Thank you
Stat for taking me out of that four-way and stopping me from
losing to Thekla or worse getting spit on again by Julia.
Thank you Stat for being the best damn friend that I've ever
had."
Statlander concluded with a strong, empowering message,
emphasizing her self-sufficiency and determination: "But now
I wanna thank you. Thank you for reminding me that I don't
need you to be who the hell I am. I'm strong, tough,
athletic, and thankful. Thankful for being me because you
can't stop Stat."
Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship: Athena def. Alex
Windsor
On AEW Collision, Athena successfully defended her Ring of
Honor Women's World Championship against a tenacious Alex
Windsor in a fiercely competitive match.
The match began with technical mat wrestling, quickly
escalating when Athena stunned Windsor with a fierce punch
to the face. Windsor responded assertively, executing a
series of arm-drags and delivering solid boots to Athena in
the corner. Athena momentarily regained control by pulling
Windsor’s hair, only to be driven face-first into the mat.
Windsor attempted consecutive slams, but Athena countered
impressively, transitioning into a surprise headscissor
maneuver that sent Windsor crashing face-first into the
turnbuckle.
An intense exchange on the apron saw Windsor attempting a
discus clothesline, but Athena swiftly ducked, executing a
punishing back suplex onto the apron. Returning from
commercial break, Windsor managed to regain momentum
briefly, landing heavy blows. Athena fought back with a
thrust kick followed by a breathtaking standing Spanish Fly
transitioned into a Koji clutch. Windsor cleverly countered
into a near fall, forcing Athena to break the submission.
Athena struck again with a powerful backdrop driver for
another close two-count. As Athena ascended the top rope,
Windsor intervened with a spectacular rising headbutt,
setting up an attempted Blue Thunder Bomb. Windsor’s
resilience shone as the battle moved outside, but Athena's
ally Billie Starkz interfered, viciously slamming Windsor
into the ring steps. Athena capitalized, landing a shotgun
dropkick, crashing Windsor into the barricade. A brutal
powerbomb from the barricade to the floor left Windsor
vulnerable, and Athena finished decisively with her
signature O-Face for the victory.
Post-match, Athena and Starkz continued their assault on
Windsor, prompting chants for Toni Storm. Storm charged the
ring heroically, delivering a Thesz Press to Athena and a
hip attack in the corner. Starkz intervened with a clipboard
shot, setting Storm up for an O-Face, but Windsor rallied,
knocking Athena from the ropes. Windsor and Storm together
fended off their attackers, sending Athena and Starkz
retreating. The segment ended emphatically with Storm and
Windsor sharing an enthusiastic handshake and mutual respect
in the ring.
