AEW Collision and Rampage 11-17-23



Collision begins with Tony Schiavone bringing out the FATHER OF THE YEAR CHRISTIAN CAGE! Christian says he'll send Ric Flair to meet Jesus officially tomorrow night and retire Sting! Backstage, Lexy chats with Bill and Starks say they're the best tag team in history without question. HOWEVER, they aren't a fan of the stip making it so they can lose the belts without losing and they've selected a ladder match to help with things since Bill's a big guy. 


MIRO'S OUT TO MASSACRE DANIEL GARCIA! Miro is such a great bully in there with Garcia as a fantastic babyface in peril. Back and forth overhand chops lead to a GIANT SAITO SUPLEX BY GARCIA! GARGANO ESCAPE BY GARCIA! DRAGON TAMER! Miro grabs the head and just slams it down on the mat! Machka kick and GAME OVER ENDS IT! Miro and CJ are interviewed and she's put him in the continental classic for a bonus. The Kings of the Black Throne demolish The Boys. King tosses one on the other on the floor. Dante's Inferno ends it. TBS Title three-way hype video.


Trent, Cage, and Komander are out with Penta for a 4-way. What a random assortment of people - is Lifeblood reforming!? Nope - title contention match for...something. Rising knee by Trent and a half and half to Penta. Cage deadlift superplexes Komander to the pile on the floor! Trent and Cage do some crazy strikes before Cage sends him down with a discus lariat. Made in Japan on Trent gets 2.9! GIANT DIVE OFF TRENT'S BACK ONTO CAGE ON THE FLOOR! Trent avoids the ropewalk SSP and gets the Crunchy Waffle or whatever it is to win. Trent faces Christian tonight for the TNT Title as a reward. Callis and Hobbs gloat about taking Paul Wight out and tossing him through a hood and windshield and breaking his body - IT'S BRUTALITY! "I TOOK OUT THE GIANT - I'm big, black and jacked!" 

Wardlow squashes a dude and hits a swanton. Ref stoppage after ONE POWERBOMB and Wardlow isn't a fan of that. But leaves satisfied after a bit. Starks and Bill are out for Dax vs. Rush! They just beat the shit out of each other with chops and it's beautiful violence! Tons of suplexes by Rush get 2! a billion chops back and forth! TEARDROP SUPLEX HITS DAX! Dax pieldriver gets 2! Starks spears RUSH during the corner charge for a big brawl. AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE COMES OUT FOR ABRAWL! 

Andretti chats with the OGK and Roddy for a second. Buddy Matthews is out to face Yuta, which should be good but everything feels like Test Pattern Wrestling. Helluve kick on the railing! Yuta avoids a PK Yuta gets a German for 2 and a suicide dive. Angle slam gets 2 for Yuta! Tons of stomps to Buddy lead to a big double stomp for 2. Corner head trap superplex into a Liger bomb INTO A CURB STOMP FOR BUDDY! Buddy wants to take out Yuta with a chair but Claudio saves! Claudio wants a match with Buddy on Full Gear!

Mox vs. Orange is hyped up with a cool mirror elevator promo from Mox. Buddy vs. Claudio is set up for Zero Hour and the Outscasts are out for the tag with Kris Stat and Shida! Shida takes Ruby down with a torture rack drop. Kris throws Saraya down with a tackle for 2. Saraya gets the apron knees but eats a Shida enzuiguri. Kris discus lariat to Ruby! Spinning fire driver gets 2 for Kris! Shida and Saraya meet in the middle with a crossbody. Sling went wonky but the faces won. MJF chats with Tony about Jay and he says the man makes the title and he'll beat Jay on November 18. He talks about likelihood and him not being likely being born after his mother bought a new diaphragm, and having mental issues and being a Jew athlete let alone the longest-reigning AEW World Champ! Well that was a long show.

AEW Rampage starts off with Jericho getting the show a few minutes closer to the grave by getting a full intro. Trent's out for the opener to face Christian for the TNT Title. Cage slaps him around and then slaps his face. Mushroom stomp knees to Cage! GUN SHOW BY CHRISTIAN - not just for Florida anymore! Big chinlock! 


Cage bets off and sends him out but a Trent crossbody misses and a spear meets a rising knee. Trent lands the Strong Zero for 2.9! Killswitch engaged for the win! Jericho cuts a promo on the Bucks ahead of Full Gear. Timeless Toni comes out and gives Emi a script that gets torn up and Sakura kicks her! HIP ATTACK ON THE ROPES and Lutha brings her down carefully. Jericho and Nigel talka bout Lutha's butler training - Nigel says it was a Butlerton! LUTHA gives her a victory lap on his shoulders but EMI ATTACKS HER! Jericho calls it a kamikaze attack which...seems unwise.


Toni gets her chest beaten red with chops and then gets a WINDUP PUNCH and a Tiger driver gets 2 for Sakura. Delayed butterfly backbreaker gets 2 for Sakura! Toni gets the big hip attack in the corner and the Storm Zero piledriver ends it! THIS RULED! Backstage, Kingston and the Lethal crew chat and it will be Lethal vs. Kingston for the title at Zero Hour. 


Roderick Strong becoming a middle-aged fountain of charisma is incredible. He's facing Action Andretti, who really needs to be on ROH for a few months and never jobbing on AEW TV. Strong hits a pendulum backbreaker and engages in chop warfare before a knockdown off an elbow strike. Roddy turns a pendulum position into a cradle for 2 before eating a deadlift falcon arrow for 2. Roddy should be ROH TV Champ with this gimmick. Roddy chops the hell out of him in the corner during the break. Roddy is working his ass off here - dude is just caked in sweat!  Andretti baseball slides the OGK!



They tease an actual neck injury off a Spanish Fly, which I'm not a fan of. Strong knee hits and the end of heartache ends it. Jay chats with Renee before MJF jumps him and Jay begs for mercy until the goons attack. MJF beats up Juice off-screen and we get "JUICE HAS GOT JUICE!" from Jericho. MJF whips ass and GETS HIS BELT BACK! BUT THE GUNNS JUMP HIM leading to a giant Joe chant. JAY STEALS IT AGAIN! 


Joe runs down and cleans house and WANTS AN ANSWER! THEY SHAKE and it's official - Joe teams with him at Full Gear and gets a title shot in the future. I can see MJF retaining and then Joe demanding the shot then and winning it.
