Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results
Hello AEW fans! It’s Saturday night and…we know what that means! Jeremy Thomas here, I am not Theo because as you may have seen last week, he’s stepping back from weekly coverage. We will definitely miss him and he will still be around from time to time. Don’t worry; you’re not being subjected to my live coverage full-time. I’m just filling in, and we’ll have a new regular Collision live coverage person next week!
Tonight’s show will see TWO title matches, as Divine Dominion defend the Women’s Tag Team Titles against TayJay while The Conglomeration put the Trios Championships on the line against LFI. Plus, Persephone takes on Hazuki in a Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Quarterfinal Match. We also have Clark Connors vs. Juice Robinson and Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & PAC repping the Death Riders against Shane Taylor Promotions. Should be a fun show, so let’s jump into it.
As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s kids is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.
* We’re LIVE in Youngstown, Ohio! And we’re kicking off with the Women’s World Tag Team Championship match.
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Match
Divine Dominion vs. TayJay
Anna Jay and Megan Bayne are starting off. They start off and Megan pie-faces Anna, who responds. Back kick by Anna, whip into the ropes reversed and Megan with a shoudler tackle. Into the ropes, Bayne gets Anna in a bear hug, buts her in the shoulder but Jay with a kick. Bulldog attempt blocked, Bayne tags in Kross — Divine Intervention countered and Jay lays into both women before tagging in Melo!
TayJay double team Kross, diving clothesline and running knee, Bayne goes to break it up and Melo moves to Bayne splashes Kriss! Divine Dominion go for suplexes but TayJay float over, they sent the champs to the floor and go up top — double dive onto the champions! And we’re on break.
We’re back and Divine Dominion are dominating Anna in the corner. Double kicks and a German suplex from Megan, cover gets two. Jay slammed into the hostile corner, Kross tags in and Anna goes for the tag but is blocked, Kross with a shot to the back. Jay tossed into the corner, Kross charges in but Jay dodges and hits a bulldog.
Hot tag to Melo! Bayne is in and gets battered by punches and a back elbow. Tay dodges a charge in the corner, running knee, charging pump kicks! And Melo stomps a mudhole into Bayne! Bayne escapes a swinging neckbreaker but takes a knee, hammerlock DDT gets two-plus.
Anna Jay tags back in, Bayne decks then both and Kross tags in. Champs put in the corner, TayJay charge in for alternating charging shots, double DDT, cover but Bayne breaks it up! Melo on the floor, double-team pump kick and Tay makes the save. Big strikes all around, Bayne knocks down Jay and all four are down!
Jay and Kross are up in the ring, they trade shots. Kross gets Jay on her shoulder — Jay with a rear naked choke but Bayne breaks it up. Melo sent to the outside and Bayne follows — Jay with a Queenslayer in the ring! Kross is close to passing up but she powers up and puts Jayn in the corner. Bayne knocks her down behind the ref’s back. Divine Intervention ends it.
Winner: Divine Dominion (10:30)
Rating: ***
Thoughts: Perfectly solid opener to the show. I would have been happy to see TayJay win but am not mad about Bayne and Kross still as champions.
* We are remimnded of the Owen Hart Tournament brackets, and then get a vignette hyping Swerve Strickland vs. Brody King for next week.
* The Don Callis Family are beating up fuckers in the background as Trent and Rocky talk about dumping Takeshita and adding Kevin Knight. They say that have new clothes from Callis and Takeshita just has a backpack? Good luck with his new friends.
