AEW Christmas Collision 2025

 

The show starts off with a pretty epic video package of the tourney and last night's show and it's starting off strong with Kyle vs. Jack, with Kyle working over the leg before a chop exchange after Kyle works the knee over on the rope. Running rana by Jack turned into a Storm-level smooth half-crab! Knee-DT and then more grinding on the ankle before a MASSIVE knife-edge chop in the corner by Kyle! RANA TO THE FLOOR BY BY PERRY! Another one off the apron leads to an APRON POWERBOMB BY KYLE!

Delayed suplex attempt by Kyle but JACK BITES HIS TITTY and Kyle traps Jack's foot in against the post with the steps! WHEELBARROW BULLDOG BY JACK! Delayed sheer drop brainbuster on the ramp! Corner boot and the top rope brainbuster BUT A SUNSET BOMB BY JACK HITS! SNARE TRAP IS ON AND KYLE'S OUT but NO HE GETS THE ROPE!

Running boot sets up the sitout last ride BUT IT'S TURNED INTO A DESTROYER and a piledriver hits for 2.9 for PERRY! Flash victory roll gets 2 for Kyle and a rebounder that hit last night MEETS A LARIAT TONIGHT BY KYLE! CORNER HIGH KICK AND THE SHEER DROP WIN IT! This ruled and Kyle yet again has one of the best matches in the tournament. It's amazing that with his rise, I don't miss Ospreay or Omega yet. Roddy and KOR chat and Kyle says that there's doubt when there's never been doubt before and THE CONGOLERATION IS HIS FRIENDS TOO AND IT'S CHRISTMAS! 

OH MY GOD AND NOW IT'S A TAKESHITA MATCH and it's against Dorada! Run-up armdrag by Dorada is met with a catch blue thunder bomb for 2.5! Poison rana to Take and then a destroyer BUT A SNAP LARIAT HITS DORADA FOR 2! Leg trap tombstone gets 2.5 by Take before Dorada cradles him for 2.5! PK HITS FOR DORADA! AVALANCHE LARIAT! RUNNING KNEE AND THE RAGING FIRE WINS IT! That was a better speed-style match but I'd put Perry-Fletcher above it. 

Roddy vs. Claudio is up and lordy, this show has already outpaced WWE PLEs in terms of great matches and it's only had 2! DARTH CLAUDIO IS HERE and Roddy is motivated and lands a big knee after a chain of uppercuts in the corner! JUMPING KNEE WITHOUT THE KNEEPAD FLASH KNOCKOUT WIN FOR RODDY! WOW! Briscoe's out and TONI BEATS UP MARINA! Toni and her gigantic ass dance. Hayter vs. Kris is hyped in thankfully video package form.

KEVIN KNIGHT VS. PAC TOO!? Goddamn this C2 is more loaded than most G1s have been since COVID. Pac sends him into the corner hard but KNIGHT GETS THE SPRINGBOARD LARIAT TO THE FLOOR! POP UP RANA TO PAC BY KNIGHT! UFO HITS FOR 2.5! Hammerstein rings out with a KEVIN KNIGHT chant and this feels like a match where his stock is rising yet again. Knight gets tossed OVER THE TOP BY AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY AND OVER THE TOP POST TO THE FLOOR - unreal! That's like a Fire Pro bump off an overhead belly to belly! 

RAGING LARIAT by Pac is countered by a GODDAMN DROPKICK BY KNIGHT and the springboard lariat by Knight! Knight goes for a run-up the apron move but EATS A SNAP GERMAN! MEGASTAR SUPERPLEX BY KNIGHT AND FOREARM SHIVERS ON THE MAT! HELLUVA KICK BY PAC! LARIAT HITS WITH A MINUTE LEFT BY PAC FOR 2.9! BLACK ARROW MEETS THE KNEES FOR 2.9 AND A SLEW OF CRADLES! THE BRUTALIZER IS ON BUT THE TIME LIMIT EXPIRES - each man gets 1 point. Goddamn what a show! 

Possibly two five-star matches on the show between Fletcher vs. Perry and Pac vs. Knight there - unreal, this is the first time in a long time where this wrestling-heavy run for AEW hasn't burned me out of getting the PPV. I'm thirsty for more great wrestling due to the C2. And now Gabe Kidd yammers on about body bags and clowns. Darby fucks around mid-ring with him. Hyan and Maya World are out with A JOLLY THEME and tron and face the Babes of Wrath! I hope their theme is called "No Hard Feelings". Cannonball on the floor by Willow and Hyan and World face the Sisters of Sin on the Zero Hour. BACKPACK SENTON BY THE BABES OF WRATH GETS 2! Sole Food and an inverted Angle Slam win it. We get happy comedy until Willow says they need to beat the shit out of Athena and Mone! 

Mox vs. OC is up! Mox bullies him around ringside after his early attempt at a Gotch piledriver fails. The X Plex is turned into a stundog by OC and HE RAKES MOX'S BACK! FOREARM EXCHANGE HITS FOR EACH! ORANGE PUNCH HITS! Great bit where Nigel says that the pockets are where OC gets his power and loose change. SUICIDE DIVE BY OC! DDT OFF A GUARDRAIL THROUGH A TABLE AND THE RINGBELL! ORANGE PUNCH but the rebound lariat hits BUT MOX CAN'T FOLLOW UP! GOTCH PILEDRIVER FINALLY HITS FOR 2.9! HALF CRAB BY OC! TWO ORANGE PUNCHES AND THE BEACH BREAK GETS 2.9! HALF CRAB IS ON AGAIN! Mox CRADLES HIM AND WINS IT! WOW!

OH MY GOD SPEEDBALL VS. OKADA IS THE MAIN EVENT! And now I've got frozen video and audio playing on Max, so that's just awesome. Tony bringing up the possibilities of JUST THIS MATCH'S RESULT are incredible. MIXED NUTS MAYHEM coming to Saturday with Toni and the Conglomeration against the Death Riders. Okada gets a neckbreaker and Tony brings up that Okada winning the tourney allows hm to retain his Continental title and Unified title. 2017 NJPW forearm exchange time! Okada wants KICKS TO THE CHEST and gets them which pisses off Don while Nigel brings up it being a part of the bushido spirit. PK hits but the moonsault kneedrop misses. SPRINGBOARD TORNILLO BY BAILEY after Okada rushes in and gets sent outside!  

Spinning roundhouse hits for 2.9 for Bailey! Bailey wants the flamingo driver, but Okada avoids only to eat a gamenguri! Okada forearms him off the second into a tree of woe for a MASSIVE KO tease. Bailey fights up top WITH HEADBUTTS! BAILEY LANDS GROUNDED ELBOWS TO OKADA ON THE FLOOR! ULTIMA WEAPON HITS FOR 2.9! OKADA COUNTERS THE CRADLE THAT BEAT FLETCHER AND IT'S OKADA VS. TAKESHITA ON THE PPV!
