AEW COLLISION REPORT

By Cory Strode on 2024-07-06 22:16:00

It is Saturday and AEW Collision is live this week from the Landers Center in Southaven, MS.

Our commentary team is Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness.

We start with the video recapping MJF’s turning on Daniel Garcia on Dynamite that was shown on Rampage last night. 

MJF is on his way to the ring with a mic and comes from the Heel tunnel. He’s back to insulting the crowd, and he asks them to shut up. He says Daniel Garcia is a pawn. The match at All IN was never going to happen and he says Garcia is a Make a Wish at best, and Garcia didn’t answer when he offered a match at All In.  Now, Garcia will never wrestle again. 

He shows a video where he goes over his issues with people and how he needed to protect himself and be a scumbag. He says he opened up to people and he told them if they turned their back on him it would tear his heart out. He did everything for the fans and they repaid him by chanting Thank You Joe after he lost the title. 

He says he was discarded by the fans and goes after Will Ospreay. He says his attack on Garcia was personal between MJF and the fans, and he will take away everything they love because everything they love sucks. He will fix it and the only way to do that is with him on top. He says Ospreay can’t help the company like he does. He says the only ratings Ospreay cares about are from a man named Meltzer, but the only rating he cares about are from a man named Neilson. 

He says Ospreay calls himself a Billy Goat, and he should come out so that he can sacrifice him like one.

Ospreay’s music hits and when it ends, MJF says he is not coming out because he’s a coward. Just like the fans. 

Backstage, Lexy Nair is with Kyle O’Reilly, Mark Briscoe, and Orange Cassidy.  Mark tells us the word of the day is epiphany, and they are about to put a beating on the Iron Savages. Cassidy says he does care as they head to the ring.

Kyle O’Reilly, Mark Briscoe, and Orange Cassidy vs The Iron Savages (Bronson, Boulder, and Jacked Jameson)

Cassidy eventually tags in after not caring all that much, and he cleans house as well.  Bronson grabs him in a bear hug when he goes for the Orange Punch. Cassidy is able to get stundog millionaire, and Briscoe uses Cassidy as a launching pad to leap onto Jameson and Boulder. Kyle hits a running knee from the apron onto Jameson, and Briscoe takes out Boulder. Cassidy gets the Orange Punch on Bronson for the pin and the win.
