Things stay in the ring as Lexy Nair brings out The New Level for an interview. Creed doesn't believe Swerve Strickland has manipulated them into wanting to compete in a Texas Death Match at Full Gear. Creed said they will be taking back their Trios Titles and leaving with their pound of flesh. Kofi said they know how much Swerve hates Hangman, but they didn't want this to be a Texas Death Match.
Kofi said they are afraid of what they have to become to beat them next weekend in a match like this. Creed said The New Level will go to a place no one has ever seen before.
The New Level give their thoughts on TEXAS DEATH at #AEWFullGear…

We're heading to match five
The next match saw the Motor City Machine Guns face FTR in match four of their best-of-five series. For most of the match, FTR focused on Shelley's knee, which they injured in match three. A distraction from Stokely led to Harwood scoring the pinfall victory over Shelley with a handful of tights.
Booking Grade: 9/10
- I think we all knew this was going all five matches, right?
- A really fun match and a fun series of matches overall
- Does the final match take place next weekend at Full Gear?
FTR STAY ALIVE and tie The Best-of-5 Series at 2-2! 😱

Death Riders face Shane Taylor Promotions yet again, this time on a boat
In what seems to be turning into a go-to match on Collision, Jon Moxley, Gabe Kidd, and Daniel Garcia of the Death Riders were in trios action against Shane Taylor Promotions. The finish of the match saw Kidd hit Carlie Bravo with a fisherman's brainbuster to score the pinfall victory for his team.
After the match, Moxley gets on the microphone and said the odds aren't looking good for the Death Riders at Full Gear, but they don't care what the odds are. Mox said they are going to make The Cut earn it. Mercedes Moné interrupted and questioned where Marina Shafir is after what she did to her on Wednesday and told Mox he will need to keep Shafir on a leash after she beats her at Full Gear.

Mox said the last member of the Death Riders he'd want to piss off is Marina Shafir, so he tells Mercedes good luck with that. Jay White comes out onto the stage as The Cut surrounds the ring, and they all lay out the Death Riders.
Booking Grade: 8.5/10
- It's a fun match, but we've seen several combinations of this match for months now
- Shane Taylor Promotions should be getting more wins in AEW than they do
- A nice post-match angle to hype up multiple matches at the pay-per-view
The Cut ambush The Death Riders just one week before Anarchy in the Arena at #AEWFullGear!

Women's action was up next as CMLL Women's World Champion Persephone took on Mina Shirakawa. The finish of the match saw Persephone hit Shirakawa with a Frog Splash to score the pinfall victory. After the match, Persephone continued to beat down on Shirakawa until Queen Aminata hit the ring to chase her off.

Booking Grade: 9/10
- A great, hard-hitting match that got some time
- Shirakawa looked great in defeat; the crowd was into everything she did
- The aftermath of the match let you know that Persephone and Aminata are far from done
After the match, they do a spot on the boat, you can see a fork with blood all over the place and The Cut reveals Juice Robinson had been taken to the hospital implying that Orange Cassidy did it based on the Conglomeration's segment with Moxley on Dynamite.
"WE ARE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERY LAST DROP FROM THEIR BODY IS FRESHLY SQUEEZED!"

Juice Robinson has been taken out, and The Cut have found the fork from last week!
NOW THEY WANT REVENGE!

A big title change in the main event
In the main event of the evening, Andrade El Idolo defended the AEW National Championship against Tommaso Ciampa. The finish of the match saw Ciampa catch El Idolo with a deep cradle pin to score the pinfall victory.
Booking Grade: 10/10
- An excellent, pay-per-view-worthy match
- A great end to a very fun title reign for Andrade, who still has the World Title contract
- I fear Ciampa is a transitional champion for Ilja Dragunov
The pants are OFF! 😳
