AEW COLLISION REPORT

It is Saturday and AEW Collision was recorded at the Esports Stadium Arlington in Arlington TX. 

Our commentary team is Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness.

Christian Cage comes to the ring with all of the Trio title belts, Nick Wayne, Killswitch, and Mother Wayne. Cage says he can’t wait to leave and get on his private plane, but he needs to tell the people that he kept his word and won the Trios Titles. He says that what he is wearing is a belt, but they are not belts, they are championships. He then says he will present the championships and puts over Nick as the youngest champion in AEW history. He then puts over Killswitch as the muscle and the man who does the dirty work when it needs to be done. 

He then says that Killswitch did not give birth to a prodigy and gives the third championship belt to Mother Wayne. Killswitch puts a hand on Cage’s shoulder, but they are interrupted by music for the House of Black.

Malakai Black and Brody King come to the ring. Cage gets behind Nick, Killswitch and Mother Wayne and talks to them, calling Brody King Jellyroll.  He says they can’t challenge for the titles, because they aren’t a trio after he took out Buddy Wayne. He then heels Black and says he thinks he’s a bigger star than he thinks he is. He says Black showed up in the ring because he knows everything Cage touches turns to gold, and maybe he wants some fatherly advice. 

His advice is that they took out the Bang Bang Gang with three against two, what were they thinking?

The lights go out and when they come back on, Buddy Matthews is with the House of Black, and the Patriarchy bails out of the ring. 

The music for the Bang Bang Gang plays and Nick tries to take off through the crowd, but Kip Sabian tosses him back at ringside and the Bang Bang Gang tosses him into the ring. The House of Black takes Nick out with a triple attack in the corner. 

The Bang Bang Gang and House of Black have words in the ring as Cage leaves through the crowd. 

We then get a recap from Ring of Honor how Sammy Guevara came to Dustin Rhodes’s aid after he was attacked by The Dark Order.

In the back Lexi Nair is with Dustin Rhodes, Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Eric. He puts over how they took it to the limit and they are Texas’s best, the Ring of Honor 6 man champions. After the Von Erich’s say that the Von Erich/Rhodes era has begun. Sammy Guevara shows and says he is ready to earn trust now that he is his own man.  He asks to team with them in Ring of Honor as well as in AEW.

Sammy shakes Dustin’s hand.
