Kicking off tonight’s show…
Darby Allin vs. The Beast Mortos!
“It’s official! Darby Allin is part of Team AEW for the Blood & Guts match this Wednesday on Dynamite,” said Tony Schiavone.
The Beast Mortos swung Darby around the ring with a headlock. Darby escaped but the Beast rammed into Darby with a shoulder tackle. Darby blasted the Beast with a shotgun dropkick, followed up by a tope suicida!
“That’s some of the reckless abandon that Darby has been known for,” said Nigel.
Darby attempted a jumping hurracanrana off the apron, but the Beast Mortos caught him and flung Darby into the steel ring steps. The Beast Mortos slammed Darby with a Samoan Drop for a two-count.
The Beast Mortos charged at Darby, but Darby dodged him. Darby nailed the Beast with a Coffin Drop from the top rope to the Beast on the arena floor! The Beast Mortos cracked Darby with a headbutt and then wiped out Darby with a tornillo through the middle and top rope!
The sold out crowd chanted “A-E-W! A-E-W!”
The Beast speared Darby, folding Darby up like an accordion. Darby rallied back with a Code Red for a near fall. Darby climbed to the top turnbuckle, but the Beast Mortos met Darby up there. The Beast Mortos press slammed Darby off the top rope! Darby regained momentum by hitting an avalanche crucifix bomb and then a coffin drop and pinned the Beast Mortos!
Darby: “People always tell me to slow down because I won’t be able to walk when I’m 30. Well, I’m 30 and I feel wonderful! We’re getting ready for Blood & Guts, and it’ll be my first Blood & Guts match.
“I want to talk about the Young Bucks. They never come to Collision. AEW is my baby now. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the Young Bucks, but man, they suck really bad now.
“And TNT Champion Jack Perry? That TNT title means everything to me, and I won’t stop until it’s around my waist again. All In is around the corner, so Jack, if you’ve got the guts, let’s play!”
The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass were backstage!
Caster: “Yo, listen! The Elite, next Wednesday, we’re about to step on your tiny nuts.”
Daddy Ass: “Shut up! This match is about being the best and bringing it to the Elite! It’s time to nut up or shut up!”
Bowens: “Let’s do it!”
Skye Blue vs. Hikaru Shida!
Blue charged at Shida and booted Shida in the head. They traded forearm shots to the head. Shida got the upper hand and dropkicked Skye Blue. Shida connected with a crossbody press to the outside on Blue, knocking the wind out of Skye. Blue tweaked her ankle from the impact and collapsed. Shida was declared the winner due to referee stoppage.
“We’ll keep you updated,” said Nigel.
“Unfortunately, injuries do happen,” added Tony Schiavone.
“The MurderHawk Monster” Lance Archer was backstage, decimating several men with punches and kicks.
Archer said it was time to remind everyone who he was!
FTW Champion “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho had words for Minoru Suzuki ahead of their match on Dynamite this Wednesday!
Jericho: “Hi, guys! And hello Minoru Suzuki. We’ve been waiting a long time for this match. For four years I was wanting this match in the Tokyo Dome or on Dynamite. And now this dream match comes true this Wednesday. But for you, Suzuki, it’ll be a nightmare!
“They talk about Blood & Guts this Wednesday. This match will be far worse than that. If there’s anyone that can match you blow for blow, it’s the ‘Learning Tree’ Chris Jericho. I’ll teach you that you should never have turned down my offer, and you should have interrupted TV Time with Chris Jericho last Wednesday! Thanks, guys!”
The Lucha Bros’ Rey Fenix (with Alex Abrahantes)
vs.
Premier Athletes’ Tony Nese (with “Smart” Mark Sterling, Josh Woods, & Ariya Daivari)!
Nese hit a flurry of kicks to Rey Fenix. Nese worked on Rey Fenix’s knee. Rey Fenix got to his feet and went to take flight, but Nese slid out of the way. Woods and Daivari surrounded Rey Fenix, allowing Nese to ambush Rey Fenix. The Premier Athletes began to triple team Rey Fenix outside the ring.

We heard from FTR—Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood!
Cash: “If you ask me, ‘Dynamite Kid’ Tommy Billington has a great future ahead of him and we’re not going to let the Don Callis Family walk all over him. But I want to talk about FTR. The last two years we’ve had the greatest run of our careers.
“But I want to get something off my chest. The last year I’ve been going through some things, and I’ve had a cloud over my head. And you fans helped me get past that. We wrestled every match like it was our last match. It’s not a secret that I have a temper, but it won’t happen outside of this ring. But we have our sights set on the Young Bucks. I think it’s time to go Buck hunting!”
Dax: “It’s been a good time to be an FTR fan these last few years. But now we live in the present. Our win-loss record hasn’t been that great. Back in April I had a serious back injury that I didn’t think I was going to come back from. And we watched the Young Bucks leap frog us and that didn’t sit well with us.
“I sat back and watched, hoping the Young Bucks would take the division back to the top and it didn’t happen. So maybe right now I’m making a big mistake. Starting next week, right here in Texas, FTR’s road to the AEW World Tag Team Championships begins and it ends. Next week we will be live in the ring starting our quest and it ends at AEW: All In! We will be your three-time AEW World Tag Team Champions! Young Bucks, this whole thing is for you! Top guys, out!”
Backstage, Lexi Nair interviewed Shida.
Shida: “I came to Collision to fight! I want a fight with Dr. Britt Baker! Welcome back! You want to be the champion? Get in line! I broke your nose before. This Wednesday on TBS at Blood & Guts, I will make you bleed again!”
