Blackpool Combat Club vs. Eddie Kingston & FTR

When we return from the break, we see highlights from Collision to explain the build-up to our next match, which is a featured Trios bout. “The Dapper Yapper” Justin Roberts begins the formal ring introduction for the Blackpool Combat Club.

With that said, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli all make their way to the ring through the crowd to the tune of Mox’s “Wild Thing” theme music. They settle inside the squared circle for our first match of the evening.

FTR’s theme hits next and out come Top Guys Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler. The theme for “The Mad King” hits next and AEW Continental Crown Champion Eddie Kingston makes his way out. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one.

Kicking things off for their respective teams are Kingston and Danielson. A preview of this Sunday’s showdown ends before anything happens, as Danielson pulls the heel move and tags right out. Castagnoli comes in and he and Kingston begin to mix it up as fans chant “Eddie! Eddie!”

After some back-and-forth early action, we head into our first of two mid-match commercial breaks. Upon returning from the second break, this lengthy match wraps up after two super close near falls for each team, with Danielson doing the Nate Diaz double biceps pose with a triangle choke on Kingston for the win.

Blackpool Combat Club Accepts FTR’s Challenge For AEW Revolution

When we return from the break, we see Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli backstage. Mox talks about how FTR challenged the Blackpool Combat Club duo for a match at AEW Revolution. Mox goes on to accept the challenge. He then does a callback to last week and asks Claudio what he’s thinking. Claudio chimes in with a few comments and then this brief backstage segment wraps up.

Bryan Danielson vs. Jun Akiyama

It’s main event time!

As soon as we return from the commercial time out, we hear the familiar sounds of Eddie Kingston’s theme music. “The Mad King” emerges to a big pop. The AEW Continental Crown Champion heads down to join Tony Schiavone, Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness on the call for our main event.

Fans chant “Eddie! Eddie!” as he takes his seat at ringside alongside Tony, Kevin and Nigel. We then hear the equally familiar sounds of the theme song for Bryan Danielson. Out comes “The American Dragon” and member of the Blackpool Combat Club to a good reaction from the crowd.

Danielson settles in the ring for our final match of the evening. Jun Akiyama’s theme hits and out comes the Japanese legend for this headline bout against Danielson. The commentators talk with Kingston about his admiration for Akiyama. The bell sounds and we get this one officially off-and-running.

Akiyama and Danielson mix it up early on, and after some early offense from the Japanese legend, we see “The American Dragon” ground him and start to utilize his superior submission-based skills. The commentators talk to Kingston about Danielson’s passionate comments earlier tonight about him wasting his potential.

“The Mad King” makes a sarcastic remark about how he’s got three titles right now and boy that’s really wasting his potential. Meanwhile, we see Akiyama escape a Danielson submission and now he has the BCC member grounded. Akiyama focuses his attack on the arm of Danielson.

Danielson goes for a dive through the ropes but runs into a big forearm from Akiyama as he soars through. On that note, we shift gears and head into our final commercial break of the evening as the action continues in our main event with Akiyama taking it to Danielson at ringside right in front of Kingston on commentary.

When we return from the break, we see Akiyama still controlling the action, but not for long, as Danielson starts to come to life and take over. The two trade shots in passionate fashion back-and-forth in the center of the ring. Danielson stalks Akiyama in the corner and hits his Busaiku Knee for the pin fall victory.

He celebrates his win over Kingston’s mentor and hero Akiyama right in front of “The Mad King,” who stares daggers back at him from the commentary desk. Danielson then smirks and voluntarily shakes Akiyama’s hand, proving he respects him but not Kingston. He turns back and grills Kingston. He flips him off.

He turns around and Akiyama, who saw that, slaps the hell out of Danielson in the face. Danielson pretends like he’s sorry and looks to shake hands with Akiyama again. When Akiyama tries to, Danielson blatantly kicks him with a low blow. Kingston has finally seen enough and he storms into the ring and takes Danielson down.

He begins flurrying on him with ground and pound, pummeling “The American Dragon” until Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli of the BCC hit the ring to make the save for Danielson. The three beat Kingston down until the FTR duo of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler run out to make the save.

Tony Schiavone announces per Tony Khan that there will be a Trios match on Dynamite next week with Eddie Kingston and FTR taking on BCC trio Danielson, Mox and Castagnoli. After the announcement is made, this week’s AEW Collision goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!

Winner: Bryan Danielson

Blackpool Combat Club’s Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli were backstage!

Moxley: “You know what they say: you can’t fix stupid, but you can choke it. FTR—they are the standard bearer, they are the benchmark of great tag team wrestling. You don’t think we know tag team wrestling? You don’t think we are every bit the artists when it comes to tag team wrestling that you are?

Claudio: “We don’t walk around calling ourselves Top Guys. We don’t have to. We get results. We don’t play this. We are this.”

Jon Moxley vs. Dax Harwood

Now we hear the familiar sounds of “Wild Thing” as Jon Moxley makes his custom entrance through the crowd and to the ring for our opening match of this week’s show. As he settles in the ring, we see highlights from Collision of the BCC and FTR brawl.

From there, the Midnight Express-sounding entrance tune brings out FTR to a big pop. Cash Wheeler wishes Dax Harwood good luck and heads back to the backstage area as Harwood makes his way down and settles inside the squared circle.

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. A dueling “Let’s go Moxley” and “FTR!” chant breaks out as the two circle each other and eventually lock up. Harwood backs Mox into the corner. Mox, circles, backs out and flips Dax the double birds.

Mox backs Dax into the corner and gives him a big Valentine’s Day smooch before backing off and giving him a cocky clean break. He then puts his hands behind his back and welcomes open shots from Dax, who happily obliges as the crowd explodes.

After some more back-and-forth action, Mox bites Harwood on the top of his chrome dome in the corner. The two trade a million chops and then Mox looks for the Bulldog Choke. Dax avoids it but gets clotheslined over the top-rope and out to the floor.

On the floor, Mox sends Dax into the ring post. Back in the ring, we see Harwood send Moxley sailing over the top rope, where he crashes and burns back out on the floor as we head into a mid-match commercial break as our opening contest continues.

When we return from the break, we see Mox working over Harwood in the ring as the fans chant “Moxley! Moxley!” Mox kicks out of a pile driver attempt from Dax and then hits a Seth Rollins-style Stomp before following up with a pile driver of his own for a close two count.

Mox ends up getting the choke for the win. After the match, he doesn’t let go of the bell. This leads to Cash Wheeler running down and beating the crap out of Mox until Claudio Castagnoli runs down and takes him out. The fans chant “BCC! BCC!” and then Mox slaps the choke back on Dax.

When we return, we see Claudio controlling Ortiz on the mat in a hold as the fans try and rally behind him.

The two end up on the floor again moments later, with Claudio catching Page in an impressive display of strength. He runs him into the barricade and post but then goes to the well one too many times, as Page counters in mid-sprint with a twist-around DDT to Claudio face-first on the floor.

He goes for the cover, but Claudio kicks out just in time. Fans chant “AEW! AEW!” again as Page leaps into another uppercut from Claudio.

Both guys end up on the ropes in the corner. Claudio looks for a big avalanche power bomb off the top-rope, but Hangman counters in mid-move and hits a hurricanrana to bring Claudio off the ropes and back onto the mat. He hits his Buckshot Lariat finisher and then hits it a second time for the win in a great opener.
