AEW COLLISION REPORT

It is Saturday and AEW Collision is live at the Chartway Arena in Norfolk, VA. Our commentary team is Tony Schiavone, Kevin Kelly, and Nigel McGuinness. 

Adam Copeland comes to the ring with a mic. He says he’s here, he’s in his gear and he’s ready to see who will step up to face him.

Lee Moriarty answers the challenge, and Shane Taylor is his mouthpiece. We also get a quick video introduction, which is a great idea and I hope they keep doing it for people who haven’t had a spotlight lately. 

Stokely Hathaway joins commentary.
