CONTAINS SPOILERS
This Saturday AEW presented the final stop on the PATH TO AEW ALL IN: SUMMER SERIES! Tonight’s episode of AEW COLLISION was broadcast on TNT from the Esports Stadium in Arlington, TX!
It’s Saturday night and you know what that means! Let’s collide!
Tony Schiavone and former ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness were the broadcast team for tonight’s event.
Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. vs. The Outcasts’ Harley Cameron!
Baker hit a snap suplex on Cameron for a two-count. Harley fired back with a head kick and a running lariat to Baker. Harley followed up with a leg sweep and a shriek.
Dr. Britt Baker used a swinging neck breaker on Cameron. Baker applied her surgical glove, but Harley had it scouted and connected with a running knee strike on Baker. Britt Baker rallied back with a sling blade and then a curb stomp, good enough to score the pinfall victory!
After the match TBS Champion & NJPW STRONG Champion “The CEO” Mercedes Moné and Kamille walked onto the ramp. Britt grabbed a kendo stick and swung it at Kamille, but Kamille grabbed it and broke it over her knee! Kamille blasted Baker with a big pump kick!

vs.
ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes
& “Spanish God” Sammy Guevara!
Mike Bennett avoided an uppercut from Dustin and countered with a thrust kick. Sammy tagged in and wiped out the Undisputed Kingdom with a big cross body press from the top turnbuckle. Sammy flipped over the top with a tope con hiro onto Taven!
The fans chanted “Sammy! Sammy! Sammy!”
The Kingdom showed why they are ROH World Tag Team champions, isolating Sammy in the corner and keeping him from making the tag to Dustin. Somehow Sammy found the strength to take down Taven with a Spanish Fly! Dustin grabbed a tag and the big Texan clobbered Bennett with a variety of offense! Dustin spiked Taven with a Canadian Destroyer!
Dustin planted Taven with the Cross Rhodes, but Bennett jumped in to break up the pin attempt. Rhodes smashed Bennett with a Cross Rhodes!
The Beast Mortos and Roderick Strong ran down to the ring. The Beast distracted the referee so Roddy could interfere with the Sick Kick on Dustin! Marshall and Ross Von Erich sprinted to the ring and applied the Iron Claw onto Roddy and the Beast Mortos!
Brian Cage and the Gates of Agony ran down and began to brawl with the Von Erichs. The Conglomeration joined the melee, and the teams brawled to the back. Meanwhile in the ring, Bennett and Taven were looking for a spiked piledriver on Dustin. But Sammy knocked Taven from the top! Dustin drilled Bennett with a spinning suplex, and Sammy put a statement at the end of the sentence with a frog splash! Dustin covered Bennett and pinned Bennett!
And we have new Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions— “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes and the “Spanish God” Sammy Guevara!
The fans chanted “You deserve it! You deserve it!”
“Dustin Rhodes is a double champion in Ring of Honor!” said Tony Schiavone.
FTW Champion “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho was backstage with Renee Paquette!
Jericho: “Hi, guys! It’s going to be a busy week for the Learning Tree. Hook returning with a vengeance with one eye. Maybe I’ll blind you on the other eye as well Hook. This is your last chance to get the For The World Championship away from me, and when I beat you, I want you to step out of the Jericho Vortex forever. You’re banned!
“And as far as my match this Wednesday on Dynamite against “The Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington, you remind me a lot of Hook, Tommy—entitled. When I found out that the Hook match was official for Wembley, I wanted a warm-up against you. But I knew your uncle, Tommy. And he wouldn’t like you. Because you haven’t been trained properly.
“I trained in the Dungeon. I wasn’t on TV for years when I started my career and here you are facing Chris Jericho, “The Learning Tree”, on AEW Dynamite. I’m the modern name Stu Hart. I’m going to tear you apart branch by branch. On AEW Dynamite, the Dynamite Kid is going to be Dynamite done!”
Hologram vs. The Spanish Announce Project’s Angelico (with Serpentico)!
Hologram rocketed out of the ring with a tope suicida on Angelico, driving Angelico straight back to the arena ramp! Hologram walked the ropes and jumped off with a hurracanrana on Angelico, the fans loving every one of his moves. Hologram spiked Angelico right on top of the skull with a DDT for a near fall!
Hologram climbed to the top turnbuckle and tried for a 450 but Angelico moved—and Hologram managed to land on his feet! Hologram jumped on Angelico’s shoulders and took him down with a hurracanrana! Hologram tied up Angelico’s limbs, using mat wrestling, and pinned Angelico!
Angelico gave Hologram a nod of respect after the match.
“The sky is the limit for Hologram,” said Tony Schiavone.
TNT Champion “Scapegoat” Jack Perry vs. Danny Orion!
Jack Perry chopped Danny and then battered him in the corner with clubbing shots. Jack Perry leveled Danny with a lariat. Jack Perry charged at Danny with a running knee strike and picked up the pinfall!
“Darby Allin better bring a can of gasoline because it’s going to take something like that to beat Jack Perry at All In,” said Nigel.
After the match, Jack Perry spray painted Danny Orion’s face with white paint, mimicking Darby Allin’s face. Jack Perry put Danny in a body bag with the TNT belt! Jack Perry had a black bag and pulled out a new TNT title!
“I guess he’s burying the old TNT title and coming out with one of his own,” said Tony Schiavone.
Christopher Daniels was backstage with a message for AEW World Trios Champion Christian Cage!
The Patriarchy will be defending their AEW World Trios titles against the Bang Bang Gang and the House of Black and a third team to be determined in a wild card match at Cardiff Collision!

Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway were backstage!
Stokely: “We have something to say! Willow Nightingale—”
Statlander: “Classic Willow Nightingale going over our heads to Tony Khan to get Tomohiro Ishii in this tag match at Wembley. Is he scary? Yes. Tough? Yes. Crazy? Yes. But you know who is all of those things and more? Me! I’m going to handle business at Wembley.
Stokely: “I spoke to Tony Khan, too. He told me whoever wins at Wembley gets to pick the stipulation for All Out—Kris Statlander versus Willow Nightingale on September 7th. Ishii, I’m going to kick your ass, man. I’m the ‘Stone Pitbull’ around here!”
Statlander: “The end is near for you, Willow. We’ll see you at Wembley.”
We heard from the “Mad King” Eddie Kingston, who addressed AEW All In: London!
Kingston: “What’s up boys and girls. I’m not here to give you an update. I’ve still got a long road to go but I’m going to do it. There’s a thing I’ve been noticing on Dynamite lately, and that’s you, Bryan.
“What Bryan Danielson is this that I’m seeing? This isn’t the Bryan Danielson that had one of the greatest matches that I’ve ever seen against Kenta in Ring of Honor. This Bryan that I’m seeing is disrespectful to our sport. This Bryan that I’m seeing is going to get beat at All In. Because you don’t have the fire anymore. Why are you even doing this match if you’re going to get beat? Are you going to step up, Bryan?
“Are you going to write your last love song to pro wrestling at All In? Or are you just going to go in there and lose ‘cause you ain’t got it no more? That’s something you’re going to have to figure out, Bryan. Cause if not, what’s the point?”
“The Glamour” Mariah May vs. Londyn Dior!
Mariah wasted no time taking the beating to Londyn! Mariah used the running hip attack and then spiked Londyn with the Storm Zero for the decisive victory!
“Mariah May continues her undefeated mark here on Collision,” said Tony Schiavone.
After the match…the World Premiere of a Film By AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm: “My Final Gift.”
Toni: “I told the doctor I’m depressed. Every day is death. My heart is shattered. I don’t know how I can go on. The doctor said the treatment is simple. Go see the great clown who is in town tonight. But I said he should pay to see me. Mariah May, my final gift to you will be the grandest Toni Storm of them all. You will forever regret the day you met the woman you loved you!”
Mariah Mah battered Londyn Dior with Toni’s shoe after seeing Toni’s film!

Bowens use a side headlock takeover on Dax, effectively and efficiently. Dax got to his feet and traded thunderous chops with Bowens. The Acclaimed had an offensive surge and sent FTR over the top rope and to the arena floor with stereo clotheslines.
Back in the ring, Bowens blasted Dax with a running knee strike for a near fall. Dax rallied back with multiple German Suplexes. Cash came in but Caster grabbed a blind tag. FTR tried for a spiked piledriver, but Caster backdropped his way out of it.

The fans chanted “Fight forever! Fight forever!”
Cash walloped Caster with a lariat. Caster answered with a double thrust to the throat and then a power bomb on Cash. Dax was looking for a piledriver on Bowens, but Caster jumped off the top with a cross body press to counter it for his partner.
“They’re standing here and applauding both teams! Who will go to London?” asked Schiavone.
Dax locked Bowens in a Sharpshooter. Caster entered the ring, but Dax put Caster in the Sharpshooter. Bowens, the legal man, drilled Dax with a Fame Asser for a two-count!
