They didn’t shy away from male-on-female violence, which should seem more heinous when it happens, but it was on full display here. Moxley making Yuta go back and get his head shaved was the best part of the entire angle.)

WINNER: Kyle Fletcher in 17:00
(White’s Take: Good ladder match, a lot of risky spots but not as bad as AEW has unfortunately conditioned us to prepare for. Fletcher coming back from a Jay Driller through a ladder strained believability, but it was still enjoyable and I’m glad to see Fletcher get the win and be done with Briscoe.)

(White’s Take: Solid main event, with MJF once again reminding everyone how good he can be in big match situations. Brody looked like a killer, but they told a good story of MJF taking advantage of Brody’s hurt leg and taking some heel shortcuts to secure his victory.)
After the match, Hangman’s music played and marched to the ring to confront MJF. Hangman signed the contract to make the championship match official for Revolution. MJF held up the title in Hangman’s face. Hangman threatened to hit MJF, causing him to heelishly fall to the mat. Hangman’s music played and he returned up the aisle as MJF clutched his title in the ring.
FINAL THOUGHTS: This would be the best Collision of all time, but as the hyped up special event it was, it was merely good. No big, surprising wins or title changes here, I guess that was all for Dynamite. While most of the matches were quite good, nothing really exceeded expectations. Good show, but not to the level of mini-PPV that some people were hoping for and expecting.
