Welcome guys to AEW Collision Grand slam. We have eight matches tonight so its going to be a good one and were kicking it off with Sarayas rules match so we have no idea what to expect so lets go.
MATCH ONE [SARAYA’S RULES MATCH] SARAYA (W/ HARLEY CAMERON) VS JAMIE HAYTER
Harley Cameron takes the microphone before the match and says that there is one more rule. The match does not start until Saraya slaps the slag. Hayter puts her hands behind her back. Cameron tries to hold her back, taking Jamie’s attention, allowing Saraya to get that slap in, and the bell rings.
Saraya smashes a VCR player over the head of Hayter, and then smacks a PC keyboard over her back, before wrapping a cord around her throat, all of which gets just a 1 count. Hayter gets tossed to the outside, where Cameron mounts her and slams the back of her head into the floor, before whipping her into the barricade. Saraya smacks Hayter repeatedly in the head with a baking tray, until she ducks one and Saraya hits Cameron instead. Hayter nails a German suplex on the floor! Cameron attacks from behind, choking Hayter out with a baseball bat, but Jamie shrugs her off and tosses her into the barricade. Saraya comes in from behind with the baseball bat to the back. She now pulls out a backpack and dumps a load of toy cars all over two set up tables. She tries to suplex Jamie, but Jamie reverses and sends Saraya into the steel steps instead.
Saraya tries to dive off the apron, but Hayter catches her and powerslams her on the floor! Hayter chases Cameron off and then ascends the buckles with Saraya…but Cameron interferes and tries to suplex Hayter. Saraya comes in with a chair shot to Hayter, knocking her and Cameron backwards off the apron through the tables!
Hayter manages to get back in the ring to beat the count and then kicks out of a pin attempt at 2. Saraya places a chair on the mat, but Hayter lifts her on her shoulders and tackles her through a table propped in the corner. Saraya props a chair in the opposite corner, but Hayter blocks it. Tombstone piledriver connects from Hayter. Big clutching lariat connects from Hayter for the 1, 2, 3.
Here is your Winner: Jamie Hayter
This was a fun opening match. This was probably one of Sarayas better showings recently. Hopefully this is over now and Hayter can move on to something new.
MATCH TWO [TORNADO TRIOS MATCH] THE CONGLOMERATION (MARK BRISCOE, ORANGE CASSIDY & KYLE O’REILLY) VS THE LEARNING TREE (BRYAN KEITH, BIG BILL & CHRIS JERICHO)

Big Bill is in, tries a double chokeslam, but the Conglomeration numbers game catches up to him.

Body slam from Jericho, Keith is poised on the middle rope but OC rolls out of the way. Jericho again slams him as Keith prepares to dive, but OC once more slowly rolls to the other side of the ring. Jericho tries one more body slam, but OC evades it…only to walk into a huge boot from Big Bill! Boss Man Slam to O’Reilly follows.

Codebreaker with a chair by Jericho! 1, 2, O’Reilly makes the save.
OC sits Jericho on a chair, sits Keith on top of him too, and OC and Kyle wail away with kicks. Big Bill puts a stop to all of that and gets some big cheers from the crowd. O’Reilly and Bill fight to the apron, with Kyle kicking away at him. Orange Punch connects, and Bill drops off the apron onto Keith! Jericho in with some chair shots, Briscoe counters and finally hits the chair-assisted senton to the outside, knocking Jericho down. Briscoe pulls out a table and slides it in the ring. Rollup by Jericho for 2, Briscoe straight up into a Jay Driller! He signals for the table, lays Jericho out on it, and climbs the ropes. Froggy Bow through the table…no, Bill is there to meet him! Chokeslam through the table! 1, 2, 3!

I am so glad the learning tree won this. I feel they needed it more. Big Cass looks great right now. He needs a singles run and some gold. Crowd are hot for him.

Perry makes his way to ringside, and the man answering the call for the open challenge is Minoru Suzuki!
MATCH FOUR [AEW TNT CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN CHALLENGE] JACK PERRY (C) VS MINORU SUZUKI
Perry attempts some forearms on Suzuki, who no sells the strikes and knocks Perry to the mat with one of his own. Perry chops him, but Suzuki just laughs it off again. Perry hurts his own hand with the chops while Suzuki continues to be unaffected. Big boot in the corner from Suzuki, snapmare, and a little joint manipulation. Suzuki looks for a kneebar and grounds Perry with it, who continues to try to slap and chop Suzuki. Suzuki hooks the ankle for added pressure until Perry grabs the ropes.

DRAPING DDT from the apron to the floor, and Suzuki landed on his head!! Perry follows up with a running knee into the steel steps, while Aubrey makes the 10 count! And that’s done it, Perry slides back in the ring, leaving Suzuki to be counted out.
Here is your Winner and STILL AEW TNT Champion: Jack Perry
Genius finish to this one. Perry is great but was never beating someone like Suzuki clean. A count out was genius and AEW very rarely use count outs so this worked well.
MATCH FIVE [AEW WORLD TRIOS CHAMPIONSHIPS] PAC, WHEELER YUTA, AND CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI (C) VS PRIVATE PARTY & KOMANDER
Quinn takes it to Pac as the bell rings. Claudio takes a cheap shot at Quinn as he runs the ropes, allowing Pac to take control. Claudio in, rapid uppercuts in the corner. Claudio goes to tag Yuta in, but Yuta is motionless on the apron, just watching. Pac kicks away at Quinn, making quick tags with Castagnoli. Body slam and the stalling double stomp connects, while Claudio locks eyes with Yuta. Uranage across the knee, and Yuta still won’t tag in. Pac stands on the back of Quinn’s head, takes a run up, but Quinn fights back. He rolls and makes the tag to Isaiah, who sends Claudio out to the apron and fires away on Pac. DDT to Pac, folding him in half! 1, 2, and Claudio stomps the broken hand of Brother Zay to break it up.
Claudio forcefully tags Yuta in, nails the Giant Swing, but Yuta won’t hit the dropkick, turning his back on Claudio. Claudio stares a hole through him. Komander in, taking Claudio to the floor, and he hits a springboard crossbody to Castagnoli.
Brother Zays rolls Yuta up from behind, 1, 2, no. Yuta tries to get his head in the game now, but he apologizes to Zay for grabbing the bad hand. Nope, that didn’t last long, he wrenches the bad hand, and bites it! Hammer and anvil elbows and Yuta has snapped! Cattle Mutilation locked in! And the ref
calls it.
Winners and STILL AEW Trios Champions: Pac, Wheeler Yuta & Claudio Castagnoli
This is the best work we have seen from Yuta. Im really intrigued to see how this plays out. He doesn’t want to be there but has no choice. Really good work from all involved.

Here is your Winner: Hangman Aam Page
I was looking forward to this one but felt kind of flat for the most part. Didn’t deliver like I hoped it would. I feel that there is no one to feud with Page anymore. Hes not in line for the title and now with Swerve out he has nothing to do. It will be interesting to see how they book him in the coming weeks.
