AEW Dynamite/Collision Results
Tony Schiavone is in the ring. Schiavone pays tribute to Ted Turner, who passed away earlier today. Schiavone says he knew Ted Turner’s vision firsthand, as he himself started on TBS in 1985. Turner loved wrestling, and it was because of his vision that wrestling is where it is today. Schiavone puts over the leadership of Tony Khan and Warner Bros. Discovery for keeping Turner’s vision alive.
He then introduces the man who has a storied history with the Turner network, Sting. The Icon makes his way to the ring. He fondly recalls his relationship with Turner, calling him “Big Ted.” Sting says they wouldn’t be here without Turner. He adds that there wouldn’t even be a television title without Turner. He also puts over Tony Khan as the second billionaire who is keeping pro wrestling alive after Turner.
Schiavone then asks Sting for his thoughts on the upcoming AEW World Title match between Darby Allin and Kevin Knight. Sting hypes up the bout. Schiavone points to the tributes AEW has put out in honor of Ted Turner, such as the side plates on the TBS Championship. They then observe a moment of silence with a bell salute in memory of Turner before the show officially kicks off.
Jon Moxley (c) vs. Juice Robinson – AEW Continental Title Eliminator Match
- The finish of the match saw Jon Moxley choke out Juice Robinson with a Bulldog Choke for the win.
Winner: Jox Moxley
Grade: C+
Is it just me, or do these Jon Moxley eliminator matches feel extremely repetitive? I’m talking specifically about the match sequences. The bout usually begins on even footing, the opponent gets the upper hand for a while, then Moxley goes through his middle-finger-and-cutter routine. The opponent mounts some resistance, but eventually succumbs to either the Death Rider or the bulldog choke.
Same old sh*t.
Will Ospreay is on ‘death ground’
The cameras take us backstage to a training session featuring Will Ospreay and the Death Riders. Daniel Garcia says, “You just got off a 15-hour flight. You win titles with your petty little dramatic friends in Japan,” referencing Ospreay’s recent trip to Japan, where he was in The United Empire’s corner a few days ago.
Meanwhile, Wheeler Yuta is doing sit-ups on top of Ospreay’s back and forcing him to lift his body using his surgically repaired neck. Moxley explains to Ospreay that he’s on “death ground” right now as the Aerial Assassin struggles to catch his breath.
Orange Cassidy vs. Dax Harwood – Double Jeopardy Match
- The finish of the match saw Orange Cassidy catch Dax Harwood off guard with a pinfall victory.
Winner: Orange Cassidy
After the match, a melee breaks out as the teams standing outside the ring attack Harwood and Cassidy inside the ring. However, the babyfaces retaliate and take out everyone except Rocky Romero and Trent Beretta. Romero tries to talk them down, but Adam Copeland delivers a finger poke before Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong hit their tandem offense. The Young Bucks then take out Beretta with a superkick, and Cope follows up with a spear.
Christian Cage teases hitting Romero with a spear, only to instead take him out with a low blow.
Grade: B-
The post-match brawl was the highlight for me. I initially thought this would transition into the trios match featuring The Young Bucks and Bang Bang Gang against The Dogs and the Death Riders, but it didn’t. Still, it was satisfying to see Romero and Beretta get treated like the jobbers they are.
