Schiavone said it was a scoop slam into a powerbomb, and they cut to break before either of the other, more knowledgeable announcers could correct him. [c]

WINNER: Kyle Fletcher in 17:00 to retain the TNT Title.
(White’s Take: Good to see Fletcher and the TNT Title taking the center stage here. Anyone not familiar with New Japan will probably be confused why it took Fletcher 17 minutes to beat chop-happy, no-selling, Conglomeration-affiliated Ishii. Still a quality match, but unnecessarily so.)
After the match, Fletcher got on the microphone to congratulate the crowd on witnessing the first defense of what will be the greatest title reign in AEW history. Fletcher said he has an opportunity at Forbidden Door and asked New Japan to send their best man to face him for the TNT Championship.
-Don Callis was backstage congratulating Fletcher on his win. Don said he likes beating NJPW stars and invited their best to come face Kyle Fletcher. Which is the same thing Kyle said. Don said he will choke whoever they send with his one-of-a-kind tie.
-Schiavone threw to a video package from earlier in the day of Ricochet and GOA beating down some randos in the backstage area. A guy tried to talk sense into them but he got thrown into a stack of chairs. Another guy tried the same thing and got a super kick. Ricochet said he’s got the firepower and he’s going to use it. He said they will dismantle everything in their path until they get what the respect they deserve. [c]
-They returned from commercial with Lexy backstage with Nick Wayne, Kip Sabian, and Mother Wayne. Lexy asked them why the con-chair-to’d Christian last week. Kip said everyone is questioning them. Nick said it’s typical Christian lying to everyone around him. Nick said Christian was right that he could be a star. In fact, he’s already a shooting star and the next chapter is ending Christian’s career.
(2) MEGAN BAYNE (w/ Penelope Ford) vs. EMILY ROSE
Megan Bayne’s music played to bring out Bayne’s herald, Penelope Ford. Bayne followed her out. Her opponent, Emily Rose was already in the ring. The bell rang and the match started 34 minutes into the hour.

Bayne hit another huge clothesline. Rose landed a back elbow and attempted to climb to the top rope, but Bayne caught her and nailed her with the running powerbomb straight into the pinf or the three count.
WINNER: Megan Bayne in 1:00
(White’s Take: If Bayne must be in a holding pattern, I suppose being on TV and winning matches is a better holding pattern than the mysteriously off TV variety we’re used to.)
-Bryan Keith and Big Bill were backstage with Lexy, and Bryan Keith was “pissed.” They yelled at Juice Robinson via the camera. Bill said he crossed one line, and then another line, which was too many damn lines. Bill said he’s going to walk a straight line and rip Juice’s head off.

During the distraction, Big Bill snuck into the ring and dropped Juice with a big boot. Ricochet took advantage and nailed Juice with the Spirit Gun. Ricochet made the cover and got the win.
WINNER: Ricochet in 13:00
(White’s Take: Ricochet should be piling up somewhat clean victories with his new heavies. And Juice doesn’t need to win until we get a full beard back. Not sure what the deal is with Bill and Keith.)

WINNER: Hechicero in 8:00
(White’s Take: If you’ve never seen Fox look impressive in a loss, you’ve probably never seen Collision.)

WINNERS: Triangle of Madness in 9:00
(White’s Take: If they’re going to have a stable of three women, they should probably win trios matches over a random assortment of opponents. Willow was basically the star of the show though, despite some goofy/bad promo and character work in recent weeks.)
-A video package aired of SkyFlight beating Shane Tsylor promotions. They called out Don Callis, saying they’re not going anywhere.

WINNERS: “Hangman” Adam Page & Jetspeed in 15:00
(White’s Take: Solid main event, with the world champion looking strong and giving Jetspeed a some of the rub. It was the Collision special multiman tag match, but better since it featured Hangman. This doesn’t bode well for LFI’s quest for the trios titles, but that’s a subplot of a subplot.)
The face team celebrated their victory as Schiavone wished everyone a good night.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Having Hangman on the show gave Collision a much-needed bump in the star power department. He remains hugely popular, especially here in his home state. The opening match to highlight Fletcher was good as well, bookending the show with the most important wrestlers and stories on the show. There was other stuff in the middle too, nothing bad enough or good enough to warrant mentioning.
