COMPLETE AEW 'NO PUNK, BUT WE HAVE A DRAGON' COLLISION REPORT

It is Saturday and AEW Collision Is live at the United Center in Chicago, IL. Our commentary team is Kevin Kelly and Caprice Coleman. 

And again, I am part of the minority of wrestling fans watching Collision tonight.

We start with Tony Khan announcing the CM Punk was let go due to the back stage incident last week at All In. He said it was part of a discipline committee and legal council. PWInsider has full coverage of this ongoing story.

We do NOT get the short previews to start the show and instead get a short video recap of All IN.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring and he calls out Ricky Starks, who comes out with Big Bill. Ricky starts by praising himself and then puts over Big Bill. He says he’s tired, frustrated, and angry, but he will do what he needs to do. He then challenges Ricky Steamboat to a strap match at All Out tomorrow.

Steamboat comes out and has a folder and says that he didn’t get on social media and complain. He has a contract and says the pen needs to talk and not the mouth. He says the contact says it’s a match between Ricky Starks vs The Dragon. Starks signs in. He then introduces the American Dragon:  Brian Danielson.

Danielson signs the contract and we have our match for tomorrow. 

Starks says if it’s the bed he has to lay in, he will be comfortable, and Steamboat says they wanted to make sure Starks got what he wanted. 

So…is Danielson still in the Blackpool Combat Clue, since that was a babyface entrance.

Mox is in the back and gives a promo about Orange Cassidy is the puzzle no one can figure out. He says it’s been a long time coming, and Cassidy won round one, but that is all he is going to get. Mox says sometimes he has won a match before the match started, but Cassidy seems like the real thing. Mox says he is a technician of the highest order, and he will target Cassidy’s heart, soul, endurance and his will to win.
