AEW Collision 7-22-23 - Acclaimed Vie for Trios Titles



The show starts off with Billy and the Acclaimed doing their SNME-style promo before the BBG says that the Gunns have new shirts. Starks says it's time to celebrate and starts things off with his belt. Starks gets a minute-long pyro display to set up the heel act being so full of himself. He says using the ropes doesn't matter - he wins how he can like always and Punk asks him if he can live with the win. Starks says his Louis' as empty as the bag Punk's had. Punk asks him if he wants a shot at what's in the bag because HE'S THE REAL WORLD'S CHAMPION!



Christian comes out and says that is taking too long and he wants to get out of Jersey as quickly as possible because they're all a bunch of sweathogs. Darby talks shit and says that Christian doesn't even wrestle anymore and Christian mocks Punk for holding a belt without being the champ! Punk and Darby face Cage and Starks. Andrade is escorted out by security...and Rhett Titus, who is just security now. White and Juice face Andretti and Darius Martin. Jay dominates before the heels eat some dropkicks and armdrags. Martin gets 2 off a froggy crossbody. Left Hand of God from Juice, the half and half, the pendulum DDT and Blade Runner end it. 


Willow vs. Athena gets a recap from the ROH PPV before MIRO IS OUT TO DESTROY SOMEONE! ONLY NOT SINCE IT'S NICK COMORATO AND HE JUMPS MIRO! Comorato destroys him for a long time, but misses a corner charge and the Machka kick/Game Over combo end it. THIS RULED! House of Black are out and they have Andrade's mask. Buddy busts up the rap and BRODY KING AND DADDY ASS GET TO CLUBBERIN! Babyface in peril before DADDY ASS RUNS DOWN DUDES! The End hits and HOB WINS!? Wow didn't see that happening. He takes the boots off. Shocking result - but DAMN WAS BILLY GUNN THE STAR HERE. Wow. Sad he didn't win a title and that's saying something since I've watched him for 30 years and he got himself over huge again.



FTR promo about him knowing how fake MJF is due to the Pinnacle and when he was a kid, he had to get a job and the punk kids who mocked him remind me a lot of MJF. Then he rambled on for seemingly 757 years before things just ended. WOW that was something. Skye Blue's out to face Taya, who dominates her before the break. The deathlock curb stomp ends it and she calls out Britt for Dynamite. AR Fox highlight reel from the Zero Hour of DBD ahead of his International Title match on Dynamite. 


Punk and Christian go at it with Punk in his red and black gear and Christian's here in his turtleneck gear. HEADLOCK TAKEOVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR by Christian on Punk! Punk hits a plancha before eating a Starks punch off the top to the ribs. DARBY SUICIDE DIVES ONTO DARBY AND LUCHASAURUS SWATS HIM DOWN! 



DARBY SENT CHRISTIAN TO THE FLOOR AND MADE HIM TAKE A BUMP! THAT EVIL LITTLE FUCKER! Corner bulldog/clothesline combo! PEPSI TWIST HITS FOR 2! Punk gets the elbow for 2 before Starks comes in for back and forth forearms. Darby's in and eats a mid-air spear to...the balls before the Roshambo gets 2! Superplex by Starks leads to a super deathdrop. Punk GTSes Cage on the floor and Starks wins with a Bret-Davey rollup AND THE ROPES win it! And they got like a frame of the finish. This was a great 18 match spread over a good 30 minute match - HHH would be proud.
