Punk, the central star of the show as a result of the backstage scuffle at All In. That leaves something of a void in the show. It also changes the nature of the \u201csoft brand split&#8221; and the way in which feuds are conducted, something that\u2019s obviously going to effect this column going forward.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s likely to be less exclusivity when it comes to talent and feuds and more in the way of things happening primarily on one show or the other with the potential for crossover.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands right now there are only two feuds which seem be almost exclusively on Collision&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Miro vs. Powerhouse Hobbs<\/h3>\n<p>These two had an epic battle of two big meaty men slapping meat at All Out. The match literally elicited \u201cMeat!\u201d chants, something Sean Stasiak was never able to do. In any case, Miro won but was attacked by Powerhouse Hobbs after the match, signaling this feud isn\u2019t over. We also got the AEW debut of Miro\u2019s wife, the artist formerly known as Lana, C.J. Perry. Her arrival adds an interesting wrinkle to Miro\u2019s story. I\u2019m fully invested in seeing where this feud goes.<\/p>\n<p>Grade: A+<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Ricky Starks vs. Bryan Danielson<\/h3>\n<p>Ricky Starks was the person most directly affected by Punk\u2019s termination. It left him without an opponent. The situation was rectified in a somewhat hastily thrown together segment in which Ricky \u201cThe Dragon&#8221; Steamboat tricked Starks into signing a contract to face \u201cThe Dragon&#8221; at All Out with the twist that \u201cThe Dragon&#8221; in question was \u201cThe American Dragon\u201d Bryan Danielson. Danielson and Starks proceeded to have the best, most brutal strap match I\u2019ve ever seen. This week we\u2019re scheduled to hear from Danielson. Something tells me we\u2019re going to see a Starks interruption to continue this feud.<\/p>\n<p>Grade: A+<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3952542674\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>As far as everything else it\u2019s really up in the air right now.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already seen lots of crossover with the Christian-Darby Allin-Nick Wayne story. I do expect Bullet Club Gold and House of Black to remain mainstays of Collision along with Starks, Miro, and Hobbs. Reports indicate Bryan Danielson will also be primarily on Collision.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the Women\u2019s Division, Kris Statlander and her TBS Title seemed to be primarily a Collision property; however, her feud with Mercedes Martinez was detoured so she could successfully defend her title against Ruby Soho at All Out. Stat then successfully defended her title against Emi Sakura on Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>Currently scheduled to appear on Collision is the Women\u2019s World Champion Saraya. At this point it\u2019s unclear which women, if any, will be primarily on Collision.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re entering a new era of Collision barely 13 weeks into the old one. It\u2019ll be interesting to see what happens.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/09\/07\/aew-dynamite-hits-misses-9-6-tazs-brilliant-deadpan-commentary-samoa-joe-at-his-best-tonis-shoe-throwing-tournament-set-up\/\">AEW DYNAMITE HITS &amp; MISSES (9\/6): Taz\u2019s brilliant deadpan commentary, Samoa Joe at his best, Toni\u2019s shoe throwing, Tournament set-up<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2023\/09\/08\/njpw-road-to-destruction-results-9-8-vetters-review-of-sanada-and-taichi-vs-evil-and-sho-zack-sabre-jr-vs-ryohei-oiwa-for-the-njpw-tv-title\/\">NJPW \u201cRoad to Destruction\u201d results (9\/8): Vetter\u2019s review of Sanada and Taichi vs. Evil and Sho, Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Ryohei Oiwa for the NJPW TV Title<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-meta\">\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3647453160\"><div id=\"pwtor-60835832\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This is will be a different kind of column this week because Collision is in a state of flux at the moment.
