MJF: “I’m not going to let anybody ruin my mood tonight. My words aren’t just poetry, they’re prophecy. Tonight, Jeff Jarrett, you’ll have to go out there alone and face Claudio and that’s because you refused my sweetheart of an offer. It’s one you can’t decline. The Last Outlaw’s last ride…ain’t I great!”

Jericho said he felt proud to be such a great mentor. But Big Bill didn’t get the job finished against Powerhouse Hobbs. But on Collision, it’ll be Jericho and “the Bad Apple” against the Outrunners, and Big Bill will have to learn and watch how it’s done.

Dax: “It’s an even fight right now. Death Riders, I know how you operate. What I hate is when you try to end a 67 year old man, my idol, Ricky Morton, that’s when I’ve got a problem. Dennis Condrey is here, and in his name, on Collision, FTR versus the Death Riders in a Midsouth Street Fight! See ya’ll there!”
Renee Paquette interviewed AEW Women’s World Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May!
Mariah May: “We’re doing this? The return of Toni Storm? Toni Storm is not real! You want to play the role of Toni Storm? Ok, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who gave her heart to a woman who used her for her gold.
“Why don’t you play the Toni Storm whose most memorable moment was bleeding and crying in my hands? Why don’t you play the Toni Storm who walked out of Wembley, Japan, and Mexico, crying because she couldn’t touch me? The ending stays the same.
“I don’t need to role play because when you’re this good, you don’t need to change a thing. I am the woman from hell, and I always will be. And I will remind you for the rest of your life. This is your AEW Women’s World Champion!”
