AEW COLLISION RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR AUG. 12
Collision kicks off with CM Punk and FTR backstage hyping up their AEW world trios title match tonight against House of Black.
We get a recap of Ricky Starks whipping Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat with his own belt last week.
Tony Schiavone welcomes Ricky Starks to the ring for an interview. Starks is holding Steamboat’s belt in his hand.
Tony says Starks has been suspended 30 days from wrestling in AEW due to whipping a 70 year old man. Starks says age doesn’t matter, there need to be consequences for your actions, so he had to whoop Steamboat’s ass. Starks is angry but brushes it off and says he went out and got a manager’s license. Blood is on CM Punk’s hands, not his, for bringing Steamboat into a dangerous situation. Starks says he is going to set the whole company on fire, and he will start that waging war next week.
There’s a video hyping up FTR vs. Young Bucks at All In.
The Acclaimed make their entrance to the ring for a match, along with Max Caster’s usual rap shtick, but there is no Daddy Ass for Anthony Bowens to scissor with.
The Acclaimed vs. Iron Savages
The crowd chants for Daddy Ass despite his absence. Bowens and Caster try to chop the big men down to make up for a power disadvantage. Even so, Bear Boulder catches both of them in a fall-away slam as we go to commercial break. Bronson misses a moonsault, and Bowens takes over from there with a hot tag. The Iron Savages withstand his flurry of strikes and then send him crashing to the mat with a double slam. They form a human stack with Bronson on Boulder’s shoulders, but Caster dropkicks him right off. Caster lifts Bear up for a fireman’s carry slam. The manager runs in and falls victim to Scissor Me Timbers. The Acclaimed scissor each other as the fans go crazy. They hit simultaneous Fameassers on the Iron Savages to score the pin fall win, in honor of Daddy Ass.
The Acclaimed defeat Iron Savages.
The Acclaimed cut a promo after the match, holding up Daddy Ass’ boots. They want the AEW world tag team titles and will have a match on Dynamite to climb back up to the top of the mountain. They lead the audience in cheering for Daddy Ass and say they love him.
Bullet Club Gold cut a promo backstage. Jay White says these four men are the most elite form of Bullet Club ever. White talks trash about The Elite, saying The Gunns are actually the best brother tag team in AEW. They will see the Young Bucks on Wednesday.
Willow Nightingale & Kris Statlander vs. Diamante & Mercedes Martinez
The heels are a more cohesive unit and control the action in the early going. Willow takes the brunt of the punishment from Diamante heading into the commercial break. Statlander makes the hot tag after the break. She fires away at both opponents, taking Mercedes down with a dropkick. Mercedes recovers and powerbombs her own partner onto both babyfaces. But Willow comes back with a pounce on Mercedes. Just when it looks like the babyfaces have the match in hand, Mercedes rolls Willow up, and Diamante uses her feet to give her extra leverage and score the three count.

Samoa Joe vs. Andrew Everett
The crowd chants “Joe is gonna kill you” at Everett. Joe backs him up in the corner with repeated jabs. Joe kicks him in the head, knees him in the gut, walks away from his dive, lariats him down to the mat, and chokes him out to win.
Samoa Joe defeats Andrew Everett
Joe grabs the mic after the match. Joe says he issued a challenge last week to CM Punk, but has been met with the deafening silence of a coward. The real world champion is acting like a real bitch right now. Joe is pissed off. He gave Punk the courtesy of asking, but since Punk isn’t very talkative tonight, he’ll to have to convince him.
Christian Cage and TNT Champion Luchasaurus make their way to the ring, with Christian holding the belt.
Christian talks trash about North Carolina and its local sports heroes like Michael Jordan. As far as wrestling goes, Christian is far superior to Ric Flair or any other wrestler from the state.
Christian says Darby Allin disrespected him, and Darby will never touch the TNT title again. He basically threatens to murder Darby if he keeps coming after the gold.
Arn and Brock Anderson interrupt the promo. Arn says they are in hallowed ground for pro wrestling, Horseman Country. Arn reminds Luchasaurus that he’s actually the champion, not Christian. Christian reminds Arn that left him in a pool of his own blood a few months ago. Arn says if this was 20 years ago, he’d spinebuster his ass and take that belt. Instead, it’s Luchasaurus vs Brock for the belt.
Luchasaurus (c) vs. Brock Anderson for the TNT title
Lucha dominates Brock early on. Arn chases Christian away from interfering on the outside. Meanwhile, the champ slams Brock down to the mat and is in charge as we go to commercial break. Brock mounts a comeback later in the fight, striking the champ in the jaw. But Luchasaurus is too powerful, and it’s just a matter of time until he lands the decisive blow for the three count.

Darby hits the ring after the match and he goes after Luchasaurus with his skateboard. Darby asks if Luchasaurus the dinosaur has ever had a skateboard shoved up his ass in all his years on this earth. Darby challenges Christian to a match next week, and it’s made official.
Powerhouse Hobbs makes his entrance to the ring for an interview with Tony Schiavone. Hobbs is holding The Book of Hobbs. Too many people have been distracting him lately, so he had to go back home and find The Book of Hobbs. He doesn’t need anyone’s help. The next chapter is titled Redemption. How will he redeem himself after losing the TNT title and the Owen Hart tournament? In order to get past this chapter of redemption, he needs to call out The Redeemer. Miro, get your ass out here!
Miro walks down to the ring, but before he can enter, the QTV crew attacks him from behind. They throw Miro into the ring. It’s not clear if this was a trap set up by Hobbs. Miro comes back to destroy Aaron Solo, but Hobbs comes from behind and puts Miro down with a spinebuster. He leaves The Book of Hobbs on Miro’s chest as he walks out.
Jim Ross makes his entrance and joins the commentary team for the main event.
