AEW Collision Maximum Carnage was recorded after Dynamite on Wednesday at the Arizona Financial Theater in Phoenix, AZ. Our commentary team is Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness.
Andrade El Idolo vs. Angelico w/ Serpentico
Andrade gets to show off his move set on Angelico to show us what he does in the ring. He does the old “pull the man up after a two count to beat on him some more” that doesn’t happen much. He finally pins Angelico after the “DM,” which is a pedigree where he makes the opponent spin on the way down.
Winner: Andrade El Idolo
