AEW Collision Results – July 1, 2023
This week’s episode of AEW Collision kicked off with promos from the six men competing in the Men’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament tonight. Just like last week, the promos very much have a Saturday Night’s Main Event vibe to them.

MJF cuts a promo following the match and runs down the city of Hamilton and says he’ll defend his title tonight against anyone in the back from this city. An unknown big man comes out to challenge, but he’s cut off by Ethan Page who comes to the ring and asks for a microphone.
MJF tries to tell Page he’s not on his level and Page knocks the microphone out of his and says we aren’t doing this tonight in Hamilton. Page says he’s out there to remind MJF and everyone in the back what he’s capable of.
Ethan Page says he’s not on MJF’s level because he’s not a bare minimum bitch. Page says MJF isn’t his champion, he spoke about everything he does for All Elite Wrestling and says he knows that it will be paid back in due time.
Page tells MJF to be a man and do something for this company and put the title on the line against him. MJF agrees, we have a title match.
