It’s Saturday and AEW Collision is showing its 100th episode and was recorded after Dynamite from Ontario, CA at the Toyota Arena. Our commentary team is Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness.
Adam Cole comes to the ring to start the celebration. He puts over the fans and says he is proud of Collision and where it is going, and just about everything else in a rah rah promo. Kyle Fletcher interrupts and disagrees that Cole will keep the TNT title in the future. He reminds Cole of their match at All IN in 2023 and Cole took his Ring of Honor title just to feed his ego, but now Fletcher says he is the most perfect professional wrestler in the world. So at All In, he wants a shot at the TNT Championship.
Daniel Garcia also has something to say and when talking about the future of the TNT title, he needs to be a part of the conversation. Garcia says when he sees the title on Cole’s shoulder he thinks only one thing, I want it.
Cole says that Garcia gets a title match any time he wants it. He then tells Fletcher, the last time they fought, he had Fletcher beat until the Don Callis Family showed up. Cole says he will give them both the shot at All In. Fletcher wants a one on one match, so he and Garcia argue. Garcia says that when he wrestles Fletcher in the main event, it will be for the shot at the TNT title.
We then get a hype video for the match between Mercedes Mone and Toni Storm at All In.
