AEW Collision: October 26, 2024 (& Rampage October 25)

October 27, 2024 5:31 AM - Season 2, Episode 19

Collision and Rampage both have the un-enviable burden of going up against the World Series. Speaking of baseball, Ricochet and Anna Jay are both pulling a doubleheader! Jay White takes on the much bigger Shane Taylor, FTR and The Outrunners continue to be best bros, and Penelope Ford returns after nearly two years away.

RAMPAGE - October 25

Three-Way Tag Match: The Undisputed Kingdom defeated Shane Taylor Promotions and Gates of Agony

"Renee Paquette interviewed BEEF about Anthony Henry, his second cousin by marriage, his reluctant corner man who is injured. JD Drake showed up to promise to be in BEEF’s corner tonight. There is some kind of ROH angle (I guess?) between Henry, Drake and BEEF but I have no idea about that"

Anna Jay defeated Leila Grey

"Jay started out with some solid stuff on the mat. Grey came back with a sloppy blockbuster and a slight better bulldog. Jay did some okay selling here. Jay reversed Grey’s suplex attempt. Jay caught Grey with a flying forearm. Jay pulled Grey off the middle ropes with a cross arm slam, hit a shotgun dropkick. Jay hit the Gory bomb for the pinfall. Jay is wrestling with a lot more confidence. After the match, Deonna Purrazzo and Tyra Valkyrie were shown watching from the back."

The Beast Mortos (w/ Rush and Dralistico) defeated BEEF (w/ JD Drake)

"Mortos dropped BEEF with a back suplex. Mortos hit a knee strike for a near fall. BEEF rolled out of the way of a senton. Both guys fought for a suplex until Mortos dropped BEEF with a headbutt. After a commercial break, BEEF escaped a back suplex and caught Mortos with a crossbody. BEEF took Mortos down with a bulldog for a near fall. Mortos hit a pop up fallaway slam for a near fall. Mortos came off the top with a twisting senton for another near fall. BEEF caught Mortos with an enziguri. BEEF followed up with a crossbody into the ropes. BEEF went to the top for his finish, but Rush tripped him up. Mortos dropped BEEF with a piledriver variation and got the pinfall. After the match, LFI beat up Beef and choked him with an extension cord. JD Drake watched from the outside. Rush jumped Drake from the outside and choked him out, too."

Ricochet defeated Nick Wayne

"[...]Ricochet went to the top, but Mother Wayne distracted him and Nick Wayne raked his eyes. Ricochet sent Wayne down with a headbutt. Ricochet missed a 450 (landed on his feet), but Wayne caught Ricochet with a stunner for a near fall. Wayne hit a full nelson suplex with a bridge for a near fall. Wayne went for Wayne’s World, but Ricochet blocked it. Ricochet hit a high kick and a deadlift German suplex for a near fall. Ricochet and Wayne exchanged kicks. Ricochet hit a half and half suplex. Ricochet dove into a cutter, and Wayne nailed a double underhook destroyer for a near fall. Wayne set Ricochet up again for the Wayne’s World, but Ricochet avoided it and floored Wayne with a knee. Ricochet delivered a Vertigo driver, then finished Wayne off with his own version of the Hidden Blade for the pinfall. That was tremendous. After the match, Kenosuke Takeshita came out to the entrance stage to taunt Ricochet with his International Title belt."

COLLISION - October 26

"The show started with an exclusive video from after Dynamite. The AEW babyface army was surrounding the injured Chuck Taylor as he was stretchered out. Orange Cassidy shoved Daniel Garcia, saying he didn’t want to be involved because something like this would happen. Garcia told Cassidy that he had to do something about it now, and Cassidy said he would do something about it on Wednesday."

Jay White (w/ Juice Robinson) defeated Shane Taylor (w/ Lee Moriarty)

"White went for the leg of Taylor before Moriarty interference allowed Taylor to land a big forearm. Taylor landed a big leg drop on the apron before jaw-jacking at the fans. After a commercial break, White dodged a leg drop in the ring and began a comeback, chopping away at Taylor in the corner. White landed a dragon screw leg whip and a kneebar stunner before scoring a nearfall with a DDT. Taylor took a clothesline before headbutting White and dropping him with a uranage. White ducked a lariat and caught Taylor with a flatliner, followed by a side suplex. White hit a big uranage of his own for a nearfall. Moriarty tried to interfere again, but Robinson bounced him off the apron. Taylor hit White with a knee lift, but suffered from the knee work White had done earlier. Taylor went for the Marcus Garvey Driver, but the knee gave out, allowing White to hit the Blade Runner for the win.

I’m enjoying White’s work since his return, with his dedicated leg work giving him the slightest of openings to get the win. A Hangman Page rematch was fairly obvious after the interference in the Christian Cage match, and now we have a set date for it at the PPV."

Penelope Ford defeated Robyn Renegade

The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) defeated MxM Collection (Mansoor & Mason Madden)

"The Outrunners are a solid comedy team. My limit when it comes to comedy is when my intelligence is insulted, and these guys are far from doing that. They’re just a parody of territory wrestling, and I can live with that. [...] Back from the break, MxM kept Magnum away from his corner. They hit a leg lariat variant on the Hart Attack for a nearfall. Magnum fought his way to the corner and made the tag to Floyd, who ran wild. Madden caught both of the Outrunners with a goozle, but they fought him off and hit an assisted bodyslam. They dropped Madden on top of Mansoor before hitting the Predator elbow drop. MxM came back with the old Beer Money finisher, but Floyd kicked out. The Doomsday Device was countered, and the Outrunners hit Total Recall for the win."

Wheeler Yuta Interview with Nigel McGuinness

"I really enjoyed this interview. McGuinness having some sympathy for Danielson after the attack was a nice touch, with Yuta framing it perfectly as the Joker being upset that someone else killed Batman. Yuta came across like someone trying to convince himself that he had no choice but to join Moxley’s crew."

Ricochet defeated Lio Rush

"Despite being the smaller man, Rush was a very good aggressor in this match. A good match here, with Ricochet continuing to settle into his groove in AEW. Rush was the aggressor to start, sending Ricochet to the floor with a handspring. Ricochet came back with a hurricane boot to take control. Ricochet caught Rush with a 619 in the corner, then stuffed a Spanish Fly attempt before rocking Rush with a knee. Rush feigned being knocked out before sending Ricochet to the floor and landing a pair of dives as we went to commercial.

After the break, Rush took Ricochet off the top into the ropes. Ricochet evaded a frog splash before running wild on offense, hitting a running shooting star for a nearfall. Rush fought Ricochet off with a stunner and cut him off with a clothesline. Ricochet countered the Rush Hour with a Blue Thunder Bomb for a nearfall, calling out Takeshita in the process. Ricochet went for Vertigo, but Rush caught him with a nearfall after almost shoving him into the referee. Rush followed with a hurricane kick for a nearfall as well. A frustrated Rush grabbed a chair from ringside, but Ricochet booted it into his face before landing a Fosbury Flop. Ricochet sent Rush into the ring and landed his new finisher, a running elbow strike, for the win."

Anna Jay defeated Viva Van

"The announcers put over Van’s accomplishments on New Japan’s US shows, teasing this as a trap match for Jay ahead of next week’s Women’s Title match. Van caught Jay with a leg lariat after a misdirection. After a commercial break, Jay fired up with a chop exchange before landing a shotgun dropkick. Jay hit a Dangerous Jay kick in the corner before scoring a nearfall with an Iconoclasm. Van caught Jay with an upkick, then followed up with a backfist for a nearfall. Jay came back with a backstabber for a nearfall. Van hammered her in the corner before hitting a springboard crossbody for a nearfall. Van pulled Jay up into electric chair position, but Jay slid down and pulled Van into a Gory Bomb for the win. We got comments from Mariah May in a pre-tape."

FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) defeated La Faccion Ingobernable (Dralistico & Rush) (w/ The Beast Mortos & Jake Roberts)

"A hard-hitting main event here that earned the crowd after a while. [...] Dralistico caught Harwood with a La Mistica, targeting the shoulder as Roberts said they would. Harwood got to the ropes as Wheeler ducked a Rush charge on the floor. Harwood hit a superplex, but a Shatter Machine attempt was cut off by Rush from the floor. Harwood got sent into Wheeler on the apron, with Dralistico scoring a roll-up nearfall. Wheeler cut off a Bull’s Horns attempt, and Harwood got a nearfall with a rebound powerbomb. Rush caught Harwood with a crucifix for a nearfall.

Rush and Harwood slapped each other as the crowd fired up. Rush fought off a Sharpshooter attempt to send Harwood into Mortos and get a roll-up nearfall. FTR sent Dralistico into Mortos before landing the Shatter Machine for the win. Mortos jumped Harwood after the bell, and LFI went to do more damage before The Outrunners ran them off. The babyfaces did the Predator handshake as we went off the air."
