Darby Allin is a week away from putting his AEW Men's World Championship on the line against MJF in a Title vs. Hair Match at Double or Nothing, but he continues to have his foot on the gas pedal in his pursuit to run the wheels off.

Allin squared off with old rival Sammy Guevara in an absolutely insane No Count Outs Match on Saturday's edition of AEW Collision in Salisbury, Maryland, and after surviving yet another tough challenge, he granted granted "Speedball" Mike Bailey at shot at the gold this coming Wednesday night on the special three-hour edition of AEW Dynamite.

Elsewhere, tensions continue to build with the Men's and Women's Owen Hart Foundational Tournaments just around the corner. Will Ospreay, Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, Bandido, Athena and Mina Shirakawa all had words for each other Saturday night, and Mark Briscoe stood tall after a brawl with Tommaso Ciampa.

Briscoe then issued a challenge for an Anything Goes Match against the Psycho Killer this coming Wednesday night. Divine Dominion also continued their displays of dominance in the women's tag team division, as potential new challengers Anna Jay and Tay Melo reunited.

Here are all the match results from Saturday's episode of AEW Collision.
