It is Thursday and AEW Collision was recorded after Dynamite on Wednesday in Albuquerque, NM at the Rio Rancho Events Center. Our commentary team is Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Adam Cole.
We start with Tony Schiavone in the ring and he brings out Adam Cole, who is in street clothes and he joins commentary. He then brought out FTR with Stokely as well as Daniel Garcia, Matt Menard, and Nigel McGuinness. FTR threaten Daniel and say he should have stayed in his place. FTR get right up in Nigel’s face and mock him and say he is injecting himself into THEIR business and he still has a chance to change his mind.
FTR signs the contract and hands it to Daniel. Daniel says he cares about FTR but he has to look at them now for who they are, selfish sociopaths. He says FTR has crossed too many lines, and he is standing up for Tony, Matt, Cope and everyone who has had enough of their actions. Daniel says this Sunday will not be a wrestling match, it will be a fight and no matter what FTR says, he knows Nigel still has the fire he had when he was the greatest Ring of Honor Champion of all time.
It’s time for Nigel to speak, and he says we will find out if he still has it or not on Sunday, and he says no matter what happens he needs FTR’s word they will never touch, talk, or look at Tony or him and if they do, it will be top guys out for good.
Dax then grabs the mic and mocks the crowd. He then reminds Nigel he has a family he needs to think about, and the wrestling business has beat him up and if he signs the contract, FTR will finish the job. FTR holds no responsibility for what happens on Sunday. Or, Nigel can turn around and walk to the commentary desk, where he belongs, and they can forget about all of this.
Nigel tells Dax not to put his hands on him again. Dax blows him off and says it’s business. If it was personal he would have beat Nigel down already. Dax touches him again and the brawl breaks out. Daniel puts Cash in a figure four and Nigel gets an arm bar until the referees break it up.
Nigel then says that Sunday, this ends and signs the contract.
