AEW Collision Results:
This week’s episode of AEW Collision kicks off with a discussion backstage between Darby Allin and Will Ospreay. Allin says he needs Ospreay to stand up and join in the fight against the Death Riders. Ospreay says he’s focused on winning the Continental Classic, but after the tournament is done if Allin needs his help, he’ll be there.
International Women’s Cup Qualifier Finals: Jamie Hayter vs. Willow Nightingale
- The finish of the match saw Willow Nightingale hit Jamie Hayter with the Babe with the Powerbomb to score the pinfall victory.
Winner: Willow Nightingale
After the match, the lights go out and when they come back on Julia Hart is in the ring and takes out Jamie Hayter.
Grade: B+
This was a great way to kick off the show. Nightingale and Hayter got the crowd hot early and set the show on the right path for the rest of the evening. Julia Hart not interfering until after the match was also very welcome. AEW getting Julia Hart and Toni Storm back in the same week is great for their women’s division.

Continental Classic Blue League: The Beast Mortos vs. Kazuchika Okada
- The finish of the match saw Kazuchika Okada hit The Beast Mortos with the Rainmaker to score the pinfall victory.
Winner: Kazuchika Okada
Grade: A-
Kazuchika Okada’s journey in the Continental Classic has been fascinating to me so far. I never expected him to be in this position at the midpoint of the tournament. I like how unexpected things are happening this year which is helping set this tournament apart from last year.
Toni Storm returns to AEW Collision

Toni Storm vs. Shazza McKenzie
- The finish of the match saw Toni Storm hit Shazza McKenzie with Storm Zero to score the pinfall victory.
Winner: Toni Storm
After the match, Storm got on the microphone and announced that she was officially “All Elite.”
Grade: B
This was a quick match, but important in the progression of Toni Storm’s current storyline. It appears to me that Storm’s mind is taking her on a trip back in time to when she first debuted on AEW. I think we’ll eventually see Timeless Toni Storm again before she gets her rematch against Mariah May at Grand Slam in Australia.
Thunder Rosa challenges Mariah May for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Worlds End
A video package plays recapping Dynamite’s match between Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa. Afterward, Thunder Rosa is backstage with Tony Schiavone. Rosa says she knows in her heart she’s a champion for herself and the people. Toni Storm interrupts and introduces herself to Thunder Rosa and Tony Schiavone. Storm leaves and Rosa challenges May to a match for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Worlds End in a Tijuana Street Fight.
Top Flight (w/ Leila Grey) vs. Lio Rush and Action Andretti
- The finish of the match saw Leila Grey accidentally get taken out at ringside. Rush and Andretti took advantage and Andretti hit Darius Martin with a Springboard 450 to score the pinfall victory for his team.
Winners: Lio Rush and Action Andretti
Lio Rush and Action Andretti will now get a future shot at the AEW World Tag Team Champions Private Party.
Grade: B+
Very fun tag match. It’s not specified when Rush and Andretti will get their shot at Private Party. I doubt that’s happening at Worlds End, but you never know. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
Kris Statlander in action
Kris Statlander vs. Tootie Lynn
- The finish of the match saw Kris Statlander hit Tootie Lynn with Staturday Night Fever to score the pinfall victory.
Winner: Kris Statlander
Grade: N/A
This was just a quick showcase match for Statlander. Your typical match you see at least once every week on Collision. Perfectly fine for a squash match, but not worth grading.
Orange Cassidy, Daniel Garcia, Komander, and The Outrunners vs. The Premier Athletes and MxM Collection
- The finish of the match saw Orange Cassidy hit Josh Woods with the Orange Punch and scored the pinfall victory for his team.
Winners: Orange Cassidy, Daniel Garcia, Komander, and The Outrunners
Grade: B
This was exactly what you’d expect from a ten-man tag on Collision. Just a fun match that allowed the winners to get their shine. Nothing special or over the top, just a fun ten-man tag match.
Don Callis announces another match for Worlds End
Don Callis is backstage and is upset about what went down last night on Rampage. Callis announces that Konosuke Takeshita will defend his AEW International Title at Worlds End against Powerhouse Hobbs.
Continental Classic Blue League: Mark Briscoe vs. Kyle Fletcher
- The finish of the match saw Mark Briscoe hit Kyle Fletcher with the Jay Driller to score the pinfall victory.
Winner: Mark Briscoe
Grade: A+
Mark Briscoe celebrates with Orange Cassidy and Willow Nightingale in the ring. Backstage The Death Riders kidnap FTR as AEW Collision goes off the air.
AEW Collision Review:
A very fun episode of AEW Collision tonight which saw another unexpected result in the Continental Classic. This was a huge win for Mark Briscoe on the road to Worlds End. The end with the Death Riders and FTR was a bit wonky but it is what it is. Glad we got two more title matches announced for Worlds End as well, that card is coming together nicely.
Grade: B+
