It is Saturday and AEW Collision is live at the Fort Bend County Epicenter in Houston Texas. Our commentary team is Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness.
We have quick promos from Mark Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher to open the show.
Marina Shafir tosses a security guard at ringside and Jon Moxley grabs the ring announcer’s microphone. Mox is sick of the Rated R Superstar. Mox says Cope wants a title shot but he has no weight to toss around here and he has a list of reasons Cope doesn’t get a title shot. The most important one is that Mox doesn’t like him and he can take his challenge and shove it up his ass.
If Cope wants a fight, they can fight anywhere, including next week at Grand Slam, and he can bring Jay White as well. And if Mox decides to break his neck, he won’t walk out of the fight. Mox and Shafir leave through the crowd.

The first half was a three-way tag and the second half was a fun brawl. Great way to kick off the show.
The Death Riders hit the ring and take out the Undisputed Kingdom. Claudio Castagnoli grabs a mic and congratulates them for the victory but they are the best trio team. Cole yells they picked a fight with the wrong trio and Pac and Yuta hold him.

We then get a hype video for FTR.

La Faccion Ingobernables (Rush, Dralistico, and Mortos) vs The Already In The Ring Ares Alexander, Jay Alexander, and Brick Savage

Harley then sings another song and says Mone is about to Feel the Wrath, Mone interrupts her again and says she doesn’t understand why Harley is challenging her when the Mone puppet could probably wrestle better than Harley. Mone tells Harley to get out of her ring.
Harley says Mone is right because she’s new at this, but she fought hard to get here and she is not stopping. She would love to face Mone in her home country for the title, and says that the most entertaining Mone has ever been is when Harley had her hand up Mone’s PUPPET ASS.
Mone slaps her and Harley powers up, screams feel the wrath and nails Mone with the mic. Mone accepts the match and will embarrass Harley in front of her friends and family at Grand Slam.
