It is Saturday and AEW Collision is live! It’s from the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, PA. Our commentary team is Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness.
The show starts Tony Schiavone is in the ring with a bunch of AEW Tag Teams and he calls for Private Party to come to the ring, and more wrestlers are on the stage as they come out. Zay grabs the mic and says they promised to win the title at the beginning of the year, and it took a long time, but they did it. Quen thanks the Young Bucks for making them earn the titles. Zay says they will defend the titles against anyone and everyone.
They get right in FTR’s face and the Outrunners step between them and say they are here to celebrate the five-year journey of Private Party. They say the sign outside says AEW, where the best wrestle. FTR and Private Party shake hands.

Thunder Rosa vs Harley Cameron in a Day of the Dead Match (which is an anything goes match)
Rose is in an elaborate costume and face paint, and Harley wears a pink mask. Rosa also shows a picture of Harley before coming to the ring and the announcers argue over what it means, either paying respect or threatening to kill.
They shove each other and Harley lays in kicks on Rosa. As Harley celebrates, Rosa tosses her across the ring, and lays in kicks until Harley goes to the floor where Rosa hits a drop-kick through the ropes and brawls on the floor. On the floor, the weapons come out. A garbage can lid and a fake tombstone. Rosa walks the barricade and Harley pulls her down and they go back to brawling. Rosa whips Harley into a painted board as we go to picture in picture.
When we come back to full screen, Rosa is charging into Harley. They charge at each other and take each other down with a hair whip. They move to fighting on their knees, and when they work to their feet, Rosa gets a lung blower for two. Rosa grabs a chair and sets two of them up. Rosa grabs a foam skull and sets it up on the chairs. Harley starts beating on Rosa with a piñata and suplexes Rosa through the skull.
I do like that Tony called the foam skull a board.
Harley rams Rosa’s head into a chair and then sits her in the chair. Harley misses a flying knee as Rosa bails from the chair. Rosa goes after Harley with the chair, and then puts the garbage can on her head and lays in a series of kicks. Rosa then sets up the table, only on one side so she can use it as a ramp to run and drop-kick the garbage can over Harley’s head. Rosa covers for the pin and the win.
