4/25 AEW COLLISION REPORT

AEW Collision PlayoffPalooza was recorded after Dynamite Wednesday night from Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, OR. Our commentary team is Excalibur, Nigel McGuinness, and Tony Schiavone.

We start with a short promo from The Conglomeration about their trios match tonight, and FTR walks by to say they will be answering Adam Copeland in the ring.

Cash Wheeler says that they will accept Adam Copeland’s challenge for the AEW Tag Team Titles with Cope’s stipulation that if they lose, they can’t team together again. Dax Harwood says that no one wants Cope in AEW. He says a New York Street Fight sounds great to them, and he wants there to be no more questions. It will not just be a street fight, it will be an I Quit match. 

As The Conglomeration make their way to the ring, they knock down FTR.  OK, they just threaten to hit Stokely and he falls on his behind.

Winners and still Trios Champions: The Conglomeration.

We get a video from Wednesday after Dynamite of the Death Riders carrying Will Ospreay to the back. Marina Shafir adjusts Will’s neck and Jon Moxley asks what Will is trying to accomplish. Mox says he doesn’t think Will knows the answer to that question. Mox says he saw Will seven years ago, and says that flesh eventually breaks. He tells Will if you run into the wall over and over, it will break you, but if you go through the door, and train properly, it will nto break.

He says they can turn him into a weapon like wrestling has never seen. Their feud has to come to a head one way or another, and he can be like everyone else, or he can become everything he was meant to be. Mox lays on the floor and gives the chair he was sitting on to Will. Will picks up the chair and walks to the camera as we fade to black.
