AEW Collision aired live from the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas.
They’re back!
The opening promos are back, and FTR opened the show with Big Bill and Ricky Starks, Jake Roberts and Lance Archer, Darby Allin, and Swerve following up. However, before Swerve could get his promo out, he was attacked by AR Fox, leading to the theme song.
TONIGHT IS A GOOD NIGHT TO FIGHT!
And AR FOX isn’t wasting any time!#AEWCollision LIVE on TNT starts now!@ARealFoxx | @Swerveconfident pic.twitter.com/buJJOD660B

Swerve Strickland vs. AR Fox
Fox threw Strickland onto the ramp to start the show, with the pair eventually making their way to the ring for their match to start. As you’d expect from these two, there was plenty of back-and-forth action with high-flying moves. Before long, The Gates of Agony made their way to the ringside. The match went to a PiP break, and Swerve controlled the action throughout.
Game-changing move by Swerve Strickland!

After returning from break, AR Fox started getting his offense in, landing an impressive DDT into a twisting vertical suplex. He quickly sprang to the top rope and landed a 450 on Swerve for a near fall. Eventually, Swerve got control of the match and went to the top rope for a double foot stomp to get the win.
After the match, The Gates of Agony and Swerve circled Fox, but before they could attack, FTR came out to help AR Fox. From there, a brawl broke out, and once the heels had the advantage, Big Bill and Ricky Starks came out and got in on the beatdown. From there, LFI ran down, and the heels took off. When FTR extended their hands to shake with the members of LFI, they walked away, disinterested in exchanging pleasantries.
Gates of Agony, Starks & Big Bill collide with FTR & LFI before they meet tonight in the main event!

After the match, Strong made a brief, miraculous recovery to land a flying knee, and he immediately collapsed.

Lance Archer vs. Darby Allin
In a rare occurrence, Lance Archer entered without tossing his opponent to the ring and beating them up on the way down. That is, of course, because he faced Darby Allin. Archer controlled the early portion of the match until he tried his own version of Old School, which backfired when Darby Allin crotched him on the top rope. Allin’s control didn’t last long, as the competitors ended up outside the ring. Once outside, Archer threw Darby down the ramp as the show went to commercial.
Lance Archer continues to throw Darby Allin around on the outside!

Archer kept control throughout the break, but Darby found a brief moment of control once the show returned. It didn’t last long, as Archer hit a big step-up knee in the corner to regain the upper hand. Shortly after, he choke-slammed Allin over the top rope onto the apron in a painful-looking spot. Jake Roberts tried to use the skateboard to hit Allin, but the referee caught him and threw him out of the ringside area. Shortly after, Darby and Archer were on the top rope, with Archer going for another slam. Allin countered with a sunset bomb for the finish.
Jake Roberts returned with a microphone, introducing his new crew of Vincent and Dutch. Archer got back up, grabbed Darby, and hit him with a Blackout, leaving him down.

69 Day
Max Caster rapped some fairly non-controversial lines on his way to the ring. Daddy Ass took the mic, acknowledging some of the funny signs. They had pink streamers celebrating their 69 days as champions.
From there, Bowens took the mic, saying The Acclaimed is fired up. He introduced a surprise for Max Caster, which was MJF on the big screen, saying it was pretty cool that Caster took the bullet for him Wednesday. MJF said he is starting to like The Acclaimed.

Finally, Caster took the mic, thanking them for the gift. He thanked the fans and said their 69 trophy goes out to all the fans. He talked about 69ing again and again. Daddy Ass wants to know how he’s going to 69 everyone in the arena. The crowd erupted into “Oh, scissor me, Daddy” chants.
Dalton Castle and The Boys interrupted and grabbed the 69 trophy, handing it to Dalton Castle. He threw the trophy on the ground, which led to a brawl between the two teams.
The Acclaimed vs. Dalton Castle and The Boys
An impromptu match for the Trios Titles broke out. The match was mostly chaos leading to the first commercial break, but it eventually settled down and looked more like a traditional six-man match after the break.
After Dalton and The Boys got some offense in, The Acclaimed hit the mic drop for the finish.
SCISSOR ME TIMBERS!

After landing some offense, the heels got control of Briscoe, keeping him separated from his corner. It didn’t last long, as he made the hot tag, only to be tagged back in himself for the win.

Willow Nightingale vs. Emi Sakura
This match started off a little clunky, and the pair had difficulty getting on the same page for a bit. Once it got going, Sakura landed a cross-body while Willow was seated against the steps. Willow had control going into the first commercial break, during which she tried to lock a Willow in a surfboard, but Willow’s strength was too much.
Willow landed a Death Valley Driver outside the ring. She followed up with a missile dropkick for a near fall.
Big time shotgun dropkick from Willow Nightingale!
