AEW Collision Results – August 12, 2023
This week’s episode of AEW Collision kicks off with quick promos from The Acclaimed, Christian Cage, and CMFTR hyping up what we’ll see on tonight’s show.
Tony Schiavone is in the ring and brings out Ricky Starks. Starks still has the belt that he used to whip Ricky Steamboat last week. Schiavone says Starks has been suspended for 30 days from wrestling in AEW. Starks says you have to have consequences for your actions. Starks says he’s not talking bout himself, he’s talking about Steamboat who cost him the match last week.
Ricky says he knew AEW would try to pull something like this so he went ahead and got a manager’s license so they can’t keep him off the show. Starks says you don’t have to like him, but you will respect him. Starks says Steamboat’s blood is on CM Punk’s hands.
Ricky says he can live with the loss but can Punk live with the win based on what happened? Starks proclaims that he is going to set AEW on fire and it starts next week.
