HOUSE OF BLACK VS. CMFTR & MORE: AEW COLLISION REPORT

It is Saturday and AEW Collision is live at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC. Our commentary team is Ian Riccaboni and Nigel McGuinness.

We start with a lot of hype for All In before a recap of last week’s main event between CM Punk and Ricky Starks. 

Tony Schiavone is in the ring to interview Ricky Starks. After Starks comes out, Tony tells him because he beat Ricky Steamboat with his belt, he’s been suspended from wrestling for 30 days. Starks says that because Steamboat did something bad, he had to be beaten like a parent would whip a childs. He then says he has a manager’s license so he will be on the show every week, and he tells Tony to quit looking at him like that or he’ll beat him as well. 

He then tells Punk it is all his fault.  He can live with the loss but can Punk live with the win with Steamboat interfering in the match. He says he’s going to put this company on fire starting next week.  He says he’s ready to start a war because the company went to war on him. 

We then get a video package of the past matches between FTR and the Young Bucks.
