(Commentary quotes from The Wrestling Observer)
Hangman Adam Page & Christian Cage (w/The Patriarchy) defeated Switchblade Jay White & Juice Robinson
"You almost had a feeling Robinson was taking the pin here, as he’s not really feuding with anyone Page or Cage. The numbers game were simply too much for the Bang Bang Gang in this one (even with HOOK running off Nick Wayne), as despite being unlikely teammates, Page & Cage were able to work well enough to squeak out the win. They kept the interaction between White & Page pretty even, as it made you want to see their rematch come Full Gear."
Kris Statlander interrupted Renee Paquette's interview with Mercedes Mone, and in the ensuing brawl, all three women crashed through a (fake) wall.
Will Ospreay Calls Out Kyle Fletcher
"Fletcher [...] called Ospreay selfish and a hypocrite, doing exactly what Ospreay would’ve done in his position. Ospreay told Fletcher to pick a lane, either he’s nothing like him or he’s an Ospreay clone. Sure, he stabbed Okada & Kenny Omega in the back, but before that, he was a 3-time Junior Heavyweight Champ, 2 time Best of Super Juniors winner. What has Fletcher done that’s not Aussie Open related, he’s done nothing on his own. Fletcher said it’s about what he’s going to do, as he wants a match with Ospreay at Full Gear. [...] Brian Cage & Lance Archer came to the ring, as Ospreay laughed and said he’s also got some backup. Mark Davis & Powerhouse Hobbs came in and the brawl was on until Davis & Fletcher had a stare down. That was brief, as Ospreay took the fight to Fletcher and hit a dive. Everyone but Archer brawled away, as Roderick Strong’s music hit and he charged out with a kendo stick and they fought to the back, as the next match begins immediately."
Falls Count Anywhere Match: Roderick Strong defeated Lance Archer
"A far quicker match than I expected, as despite not getting in a ton of offense, he got off enough to win the match. I wish this went longer, as it was a fun brawl in the crowd the entire time. The win sees Strong advance to Full Gear and for the time being it’s a singles match with MJF, who again, we saw watching from his home for about 5 seconds, which has been the case the last few weeks. [...] Konosuke Takeshita appeared from behind and continued to beat down Strong until Adam Cole charged out and they slugged it out until the referee ran to the ring and started their match."
Konosuke Takeshita defeated Adam Cole
"I thought this was a really good match and really wasn’t that surprised by the finish, considering Don Callis was presented with MJF’s ring last week. Having MJF vs. Strong at the PPV gives them more time to build up to when Cole finally gets his one on one match against MJF, presumably at World’s End. If they’re going to do the match, you’d want MJF to be on TV to build it up, so once his movie is done shooting, he can come back and they’ll be off to the races. I also appreciated that Takeshita didn’t take a pin two weeks in a row, after losing the tag match last week.
[...]TakeshIta decked Cole with the loaded shot, KO’d him and got the victory. MJF was shown laughing maniacally, as Takeshita showed off the diamond ring before hiding the evidence. Roderick Strong sprinted out and tried to attack Takeshita, who quickly hit a punt kick low. Takeshita put the ring back on and wanted to KO him as well, but Kyle O’Reilly ran out with a chair, as Takeshita bailed. Takeshita celebrated up the ramp, but didn’t see Ricochet behind him, who hit a superkick, causing Takeshita to scurry away. Ricochet held up the International Title, as back in the ring, O’Reilly helped up Strong as Cole offered a handshake to him, but O’Reilly walked away, staring them down from the stage."
Jon Moxley Seizes the Superstation
Britt Baker defeated Penelope Ford
"Ford tried a handspring forearm, but Baker blocked it into a flatliner in the corner. Baker got some head of steam with a Sling Blade, but as she went for corner punches, Ford slid out and dropped Baker face first into the buckle. Handspring forearm hit, as did the charging boot, but as she got a fireman’s carry, Baker slid out, tried a ripcord lariat, but Ford hit a Matrix Cutter for two. Ford went for a moonsault, but Baker moved, hit a thrust kick and spinning neckbreaker. Baker took way too long to put on the glove for Lockjaw, as Ford dropkicked her from behind and applied the Muta Lock. While in the hold, Baker was able to get the Lockjaw and the counter led to the submission win. post match, Serena Deeb came to the stage and trash talked, with Baker looking at the camera saying no one cared. Baker’s first match since her illness last month, as the finish was a fun way to show that she can apply the Lockjaw out of nowhere. Baker’s last match prior to her absence last month was against Serena Deeb and it looks like that’s where we’re going from here once more."
Harley Cameron interrupts Renee Paquette with the returning Mina Shirakawa. She challenges Shirakawa to a match on Collision, "tit for tit, may the best woman win." Both women start shimmying, as Paquette tried putting a stop to it. Excalibur said now Paquette knows how he feels sitting between Schiavone & McGuinness on commentary.
Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana) defeated Lio Rush
"Both men fought to the apron where Strickland hit a big boot before rolling back into the ring with a suplex. Strickland measured Rush with a diving uppercut to the back. Rush managed a misdirect Spanish Fly for two, as he tried a leaping huracanrana off the announce table, but Strickland looked for a powerbomb, only for Rush to leap out onto the steps and hit a Poison Rana. Diving low dive, as back inside, Rush hit the Frog Splash for a close two. Bounce back Stunner countered from Strickland, who wanted Big Pressure, as Rush rolled through into a pin, held the ropes and Nana pointed it out. Enzugiri connected, as he wanted another Poison Rana, only this time, Strickland powered him into Big Pressure for the win. Post match, Strickland took the mic and said now that he’s back, everyone wants to use his equity and accolades to make a statement. Rush tried tonight, Shelton Benjamin tried a few weeks ago, but he’s going to have to keep reminding people whose house it is. While their match is at Full Gear, he wants to fight here tonight in Stamford (they’re in Bridgeport) and calls out Lashley."
"We get another Julia Hart vignette, as she awakens from her bed after being shot in the heart with an arrow in the last vignette on Collision. Brody King had called her saying it’s time to come home. Hart walks to the mirror and screams as she puts on her black hat and steps out the window."
Full Gear Contenders Match: Kings of the Black Throne (Malakai Black & Brody King) defeated FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler)
"This was a hell of a main event with This is Awesome and Fight Forever chants rightfully given by the crowd. I was pleasantly surprised by the finish of this, as I think I was with many in thinking FTR was going to win. House of Black needed a win after taking a series of singles losses to Adam Cole the past two weeks, so this was a reminder to those of just how great they are. I hope this continues after Full Gear and they remain contenders, as they certainly deserve to be.
[...] FTR kept Black isolated almost the entire break before King was finally able to make the hot tag. King wasted no time running wild with chops and shoulder tackles, punishing Wheeler & Harwood with corner clotheslines and splashes. Overhead throw on Wheeler, as Harwood was sent into his partner in the corner and King hit the Cannonball for two. King wanted a superplex on Wheeler, but Harwood saved his partner, allowing Wheeler to try a sunset flip, with Harwood hitting a diving clothesline into the powerbomb for two. Black pulled Wheeler outside and sent him into the steps, as Harwood ate the pop-up knee lift from Black, who followed with a moonsault to the floor on Wheeler, as Harwood was flattened with a King powerbomb for a close near fall.
The match broke down, as Black was sent back outside and King sent to the corner. FTR wanted the Power-Plex, King took the superplex, but got the knees up on Wheeler with Black flying off the top with a double stomp on Harwood for two. Dante’s Inferno attempt blocked, as Wheeler saved his partner, sent King into Black and connected with Shatter Machine, but Black pulled Harwood outside. Black was pulled to the apron by Wheeler, as Harwood recovered and they hit a spike piledriver on Black, but King was there to fly with a dive onto both Harwood & Wheeler. King Kong lariat leveled Harwood multiple times and got multiple near falls, as King couldn’t believe it. King dragged a rubber legged Harwood to his feet, applied the rear naked choke and Harwood went out cold, giving King the win. Post match, King nodded to Black, as they helped Harwood & Wheeler up, shaking their hands, showing respect as Private Party watched on as things went off the air."
