It is Saturday and AEW Collision was recorded Thursday night at the Chaifetz Arena on the campus of the St. Louis University in St Louis, MO. Our commentary team is Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness. And since it’s on at the same time as Saturday Night’s Main Event, I am going to be watching thai one by myself.
We see that Will Ospreay thanks Darby Allin for helping him on Dynamite, and Darby tells him something is going to happen if they don’t do something about the Death Riders. Will says he needs to rack up wins in the tournament, and Darby says if they don’t do something, this will be the last Continental Classic. Will says after the tournament, knock on his door and he will be in the foxhole with him.
We then get quick sound bites from everyone in a Continental Classic match later on.

Storm then says after the match that Toni Storm is All Elite
We get a video from after Dynamite where she says she doesn’t care about the return of Toni Storm, and she will beat everyone in AEW like she did Mina Shirakawa. And Mina needs to go back to modeling, because her career is over. She then says she will end Thunder Rosa’s life as well. Anyone may have the same dream, but there is only one reality.
Thunder Rosa is with Tony Schiavone, and she cuts a fiery promo and Toni shows and acts as if she has never met Rosa or Tony and shakes their hands like a fangirl. Rosa goes back to her promo and says she will meet May in two weeks in a Tijuana Street Fight.
So, Storm’s new gimmick is that she doesn't remember anything before being Timeless? If it is as fun as Timeless Toni, it could be fun!
