This week, women's matches both open and main-event Collision... technically. A classic little-vs-big matchup as Komander fights Shelton Benjamin, the final teams for Full Gear's tag title bout are decided, and Jack Perry finally reaches the "find out" portion after fucking around with Daniel Garcia.
RAMPAGE - November 15
Hikaru Shida defeated Leila Grey
Mark Briscoe defeated Ari Daivari (w/ Mark Sterling)
Komander (w/ Alex Abrahantes) defeated Rocky Romero
"Komander hit a walking-the-ropes springboard moonsault coming out of a commerical. After a series of reversals and counters, Komander hit a springboard dropkick off the middle rope. Romero kicked Komander in the face when he went for a moonsault. Romero hit a running sliced bread for a near fall. Komander rammed Romero in the corner with a running powerslam. Komander walked the top rope and hit a shooting star press for the pinfall."
Rush & The Beast Mortos (w/ Dralistico) defeated Richard Holliday & Alec Price
Ricochet defeated Dante Martin
"Richochet kept Martin from getting to the rope to break a wrist lock, so Dante countered by flipping out of it. Dante went for a sunset flip, but Ricochet countered it somehow with his own sunset flip. Ricochet snapped off a mean looking dropkick. The fight went to the floor, where both guys avoided moonsaults. Back in the ring, more creative avoidance of each other’s offense ended with Ricochet hitting a gamengiri and a springboard clothesline.
After a long split-screen break, Martin went for a double-jump springboard moonsault but it was more like a carthwheel into a a knee to Ricochet’s head. Martin hit a springboard frog splash for a near fall. Ricochet hit a Northern Lights suplex and rolled right out of that and into a brainbuster. A standing shooting star press got Ricochet a near fall. Martin tried a springboard into a bulldog, but Ricochet turned that into a Blue Thunder Bomb for another near fall. Martin countered a Vertigo attempt with a cradle, but Ricochet dropped him with a backdrop suplex. Ricochet hit a sliding elbow strike and got the pinfall. After the match, Ricochet helped Martin to his feet and they showed each other respect after a good match."
COLLISION - November 16
Mina Shirakawa defeated Harley Cameron
"A fun opener to get Shirakawa back in the mix in AEW. [...] Cameron’s knee betrayed her on a fireman’s carry, and Shirakawa laid in boots to the knee. Cameron caught Shirakawa with a pumphandle back suplex for a nearfall. Cameron tried to flash pin Shirakawa with her legs on the ropes, but the referee caught her and didn’t count the pin. Shirakawa hit a Disaster Kick before hitting a diving Slingblade for a nearfall. Shirakawa hit a backfist before scoring with the Glamorous Driver Mina to get the win."
Daniel Garcia defeated Johnny TV (w/Mansoor & Mason Madden)
"As Garcia and Johnny were on the floor, Jack Perry attacked Menard [aka "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard, Garcia's friend] on commentary and dragged him through the crowd. Garcia, unaware of what happened, hit a back suplex in the ring as the match continued. Garcia fired up on Johnny, hitting a Twist and Shout neckbreaker for a nearfall. Johnny dumped Garcia to the floor so MxM could lay the boots to him, but Garcia sent them both into the post. Johnny caught Garcia on his way back in the ring with a Chuck Kick before hitting the Moonlight Drive. Garcia avoided the End of the World and locked on a Cobra Clutch to get Johnny to submit. After the match, Garcia asked the commentators where Menard went before the jumbotron showed Perry continuing his attack on Menard backstage. Garcia ran backstage to find them.
After the announcers reset things, we cut to Perry and Menard outside near Perry’s bus. Perry grabbed a chain with a GIANT HOOK from the bus. This might have been the chain that Kane had in See No Evil. He set the hook up to the back of the bus and wrapped Menard up in the chain, but Garcia caught up to Perry and threw him into the side of the bus. Garcia and Menard had an idea, and Menard grabbed the camera before we went to a commercial. [...] We cut back to Daniel Garcia & Matt Menard as they had Jack Perry chained to the front of his bus. Garcia and Menard got on the bus and drove it as Perry had to dodge the barricades that Garcia drove through. What is it about the TV titles in this company that inspire ideas of vehicular assault?"
Shelton Benjamin (w/MVP) defeated Komander (w/Alex Abrahantes)
"Another impressive showcase for Benjamin, who has completely outperformed my expectations for him. After a commercial, Komander dodged a rising knee and scored with a springboard dropkick. Komander scored with a triple rotation headscissors before hitting his ropewalk dive to a big pop. Komander hit a 619 before going for the ropewalk Shooting Star Press, but Benjamin moved and sent Komander flying with a pair of German suplexes. A rising knee and a big superkick led to the T-Bone Suplex and a win for Benjamin."
Hikaru Shida interrupted Kris Statlander's interview and wished her luck before making it clear that she wanted to challenge Statlander for the title after the PPV. Statlander made a counter offer, challenging Shida to a match on Dynamite this week.
Powerhouse Hobbs defeated Bulk Bronson (w/Beefcake Boulder & Jacked Jameson)
Full Gear Four Way Contenders Series Tag Team Match – The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster) (w/ Billy Gunn) defeated La Faccion Ingobernable (Rush & The Beast Mortos) (w/ Jake Roberts)
"Mortos and Bowens started off, with Mortos blowing through Bowens with a shoulder block. Caster tagged himself in, with Bowens not exactly ready to get tagged out. Caster fought off Rush’s cord attack, but Rush was able to rip him off the apron to the floor as we went to a commercial. After the break, Bowens got a hot tag and ran wild before diving onto Mortos on the floor. The match broke down into a Pier Six brawl before all four men were laid out.
Rush and Bowens traded strikes, with Rush laying Bowens out with a powerslam. Bowens dodged a senton and tagged in Caster, who hit a top-rope splash for a nearfall. Mortos hit a double stomp onto Caster for a nearfall and another brawl broke out. Caster dodged a cannonball, and the Acclaimed hit their finishing moves to score the win. Private Party defend the tag team titles at Full Gear against the House of Black, the Outrunners, and the Acclaimed."
"FTR was with Lexy Nair. Cash Wheeler didn’t know where they stood, as it has been a year since they’ve been AEW World Tag Team Champions. Dax Harwood said that they would rebuild before wishing the Outrunners luck at the PPV. We cut to a VHS-quality highlight video of The Outrunners winning their match last week to get in Full Gear title match."
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification Match – Mariah May (c) defeated Anna Jay
"This was a solid plunder match, and the best of their three matches. This was a fine TV feud for Mariah to kill time with before Mina Shirakawa came back. [...]Jay pinballed May around ringside, with May falling into Tony Schiavone’s lap at one point. May cut Jay off with a drop toe hold into a chair. May stuffed Jay into a trash can before hitting her with a missile dropkick. May brought a ladder into the ring before Jay caught the champion in the Queenslayer choke. May broke the hold by running Jay into the ladder back-first. After a commercial, May was in control as she dropped Jay with a slam onto a chair for a nearfall. Jay came back with a Gory Bomb into the ladder for a nearfall.
Jay set a table halfway up across from the corner buckles and went for a superplex but May countered with a sunset flip powerbomb through the table for a nearfall. May set up a barricade bridge but Jay cut her off with a backstabber. May scored with a headbutt and laid Jay across the barricade, but Jay cut May off on the top rope and hit a superplex. That looked like it sucked, as the barricade didn’t budge an inch. Jay rolled to the floor and pulled out a length of barbed wire. She wrapped the barbed wire around her arm and put on the Queenslayer choke but May pulled out a spray bottle and sprayed Jay in the face to break the hold. Jay hit a Storm Zero on a chair to win and retain the title. Mina Shirakawa came out and celebrated with May. May booted Jay while she was down before Shirakawa convinced her to leave."
Jon Moxley had a pre-taped promo about Orange Cassidy
"Moxley continues to be a very interesting character as World Champion. He still cares about AEW, but he has become this manipulative monster convinced that the only way forward is to violently remove anybody who doesn’t follow his path. Now he’s trying to twist the narrative to make Orange Cassidy an uncaring snake that doesn’t care for Yuta. A solid Moxley promo to end the show."
"Collision ended with a video package for all of the big Full Gear matches set to November Rain by Guns N’ Roses. For the uninitiated, this was something that ECW used to do to promote their November To Remember events. Tony Khan was a big ECW fan, and AEW has been using the November To Remember tagline for their events this month."
