AEW Collision results:
This week's episode of Collision kicks off with the Rated R Superstar, Adam Copeland. He has a big shiner under his eye from the shot he took with the title belt Sunday at Dynasty.
Adam Copeland says Dynasty didn't go their way. Copeland says FTR did exactly what they said they were going to do and reveals that Christian Cage isn't there because he needs to get an MRI on his forearm to see if it's broken. Copeland makes it clear that FTR taking Christian's watch was worse to Cage than them piledriving his wife, Beth.
"We will take our pound of flesh!"

FTR may have decreed that @RatedRCope + @Christian4Peeps can't challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Titles, but it's about MORE than that to Cope + Cage!

Adam Copeland acknowledges that FTR said they won't be getting another title shot on Dynamite. Cope put over all the hardships he and Christian have gone through and promise they will end FTR and take their pound of flesh. This brings out FTR and Stokely but before they get to the ring, Copeland is attacked from behind by Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero.
It quickly turns into a four-on-one beatdown before the Young Bucks hit the ring and clean house. Copeland caps it off with a spear on Trent. Matt and Nick shake hands with Copeland in a showing of respect between the three men.
FTR enlisted the help of @trentylocks + @azucarroc to beat down @RatedRCope, but he has backup in the @YoungBucks!

Jungle Jack Perry is backstage. Perry puts over that he took down Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and says that, after what Don Callis has done to the Young Bucks, he wants to keep beating down the family, challenging anyone from the group to face him next week.
Young Bucks defeated The Rascalz. This was an awesome match to kick off the show. You would think these two teams had been working together for years, the way they looked in the ring tonight. The finish saw the Young Bucks hit Zachary Wentz with the Meltzer Driver to score the pinfall victory.
After the match, David Finlay and Clark Connors of The Dogs hit the ring and attack both the Young Bucks and the Rascalz. Finlay says they may be down one Dog, but if you want to kill them, you're gonna have to kill all of them. Finlay says the numbers change but the mission stays the same, they want bodies and they want gold.
"The numbers may change, but the mission stays the same!"

AEW World Trios Championship Eliminator Match: The Conglomeration defeated The Lethal Twist. This was a very fun trios matchup. For a match where the finish was never in doubt, it was a surprisingly competitive contest. The finish saw Kyle O'Reilly get Lee Johnson in a grapevine ankle lock to earn the submission win for his team.
HOOK is backstage talking to Katsuyori Shibata who's holding the camera. They are interrupted by Anthony Bowens who wants to know if he's in The Opps or not , HOOK tells him that he'll give him an answer next week because he's the boss.
“Am I in The Opps, or am I out?”@Bowens_Official needs an answer from @730hook!

Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander defeated Big Anne and Danika Della Rouge. Another quick squash match for Shida and Statlander. The finish saw Kris Statlander hit Staturday Night Fever on Big Anne to score the pinfall victory for her team.
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley defeated Nick Wayne. This was a very hard-hitting affair as one would expect from a Jon Moxley match. This one got a lot of time and Moxley gave Nick Wayne quite a bit in this one. The finish saw Moxley hit Wayne with the Death Rider to score the pinfall victory.
Lexy Nair is backstage with Don Callis and Kazuchika Okada. Don Callis says Konosuke Takeshita didn't play by the rules, and there doesn't need to be a title match at Double or Nothing. Okada says he wants this match because he knows he can beat him. Okada says he's a champion, unlike Takeshita.
After #AEWDynasty, @TheDonCallis tries to shut it down, saying the agreement is off and Konosuke Takeshita won’t face @rainmakerXokada at Double or Nothing!

PAC (w/ Daniel Garcia) defeated Lio Rush. This match was wild in every sense of the word. Lio Rush continues to evolve this gimmick into something I don't think anyone could have expected. It's really unique stuff, but it wasn't enough to get him the win. The match ended with PAC locking the Brutalizer on Lio Rush, who passed out from the pain with a smile on his face.
A vignette airs for Ring of Honor World Champion, Bandido.
Brody King, Mistico, and Mascara Dorada defeated Ricky Gibson, Cole Rivera, and KC Riff. Just a quick squash match. The finish saw Brody King hit the Gonzo Bomb on one of his opponents to score the pinfall victory for his team.
Wrong move!

Lexy Nair is backstage with Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander. Mina Shirakawa interrupts and says she found Shida's kendo stick by Toni Storm and says she doesn't trust her. Statlander tries to keep the peace, but Shirakawa tells Statlander she doesn't trust Shida.
A video package airs, recapping Darby Allin's AEW World Championship win on Dynamite.
Thekla defeated Alex Windsor to retain the AEW Women's World Championship. This was a very hard-hitting main event. These two women really took it to one another as they fought to leave the ring with the title. The finish of the match saw Thekla hit Alex Windsor with brass knuckles before delivering the stomp to score the pinfall victory.
FACE FIRST into the apron goes @HailWindsor!
