5/16 AEW COLLISION COVERAGE

AEW Collision (even though Tony Schiavone said it was Dynamite) is live from the Wicomico Civic Center in Salisbury, MD. Our commentary team is Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness.

We have a promo from the Death Riders after Dynamite and Mox says no matter what he does, he can’t beat Kyle O’Reilly. He says this might mean you think Kyle will beat him for the Continental Title, but the Jon Moxley of yesterday is not the Jon Moxley of today or tomorrow. He will find a way to win.

Claudio Castagnoli says if he faces Brody King, King better bring the bite and not just the bark.

When we return to full screen, Cassidy has been the babyface in peril.

Kyle tags in and runs wild until Kyle gets a cross arm breaker on Lee, and Lee’s team breaks it up. Dean tags in. He and Bravo get a two-man neck breaker for two. Kyle is able to take down both Bravo and Dean and Kyle tags in Briscoe, and the crowd finally gets what they have been chanting for.

He says he has been too busy to get back to Joe, and six months were taken from his life for neck surgery, which was filled with frustration and anger. Since he came back, he’s been losing. He won’t be able to explain to anyone and no matter what anyone thinks, Jon Moxley stands up for the company. He finds it ironic that the man who took away his old life is giving him a chance at a new one.
