AEW Collision: January 18, 2024: Maximum Carnage  Season 2, Ep 29

Powerhouse Hobbs may have lost his shot at the AEW World Championship on Dynamite this week, but now he's got a posse together to vent their frustrations on the Death Riders and Jericho's Learning Tree. The consequences of Harley Cameron getting evil-misted by Julia Hart will (probably) start unfolding, and Okada defends his International belt against his former CHAOS teammate in Tomohiro Ishii.

AEW Collision: January 11, 2024  Season 2, Ep 28

"Rated FTR" and Jericho's Learning Tree continue to circle each other like two old boxers starting a fight in an alley, which leads to collateral damage. Hangman Page draws Christopher Daniels into further down the spiteful spiral, Daniel Garcia continues to distinguish himself in title defenses, and Harley Cameron moves towards that special niche marked "crazy as a loon but surprisingly babyface".

AEW Collision: January 4, 2024  Season 2, Ep 27

The first episode of Collision to simulcast on TNT and HBO Max tried hard to distinguish itself from the looming shadow of the NJPW double bill of Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestle Dynasty -- which aired at the same time and is the reason Yours Truly is posting this late Sunday. As a reward, the show offered two title defenses, Toni Storm vs. Deonna Purazzo "for the first time (wink)", and the honest-to-goodness Rock N' Roll Express in the house. [more inside]

There's a 5-way tie in the Continental Classic Gold League that must be resolved, including Ricochet vs. Ospreay after their draw in October. Kris Statlander wants another shot at the TBS Championship, and must defeat Penelope Garcia to prove herself.

We've come once again to the anniversary of All Elite Wrestling's inaugural show as a new promotion.
