Welcome once again to another edition of the All Elite Weekly originating from my brain to your eyes. This week we saw Jeff Jarrett try to earn his shot at facing Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship as well as the TBS Championship being defended on Dynamite. Collision brought us some violence with a Mid-South Street Fight between FTR and the Death Riders. Let’s get into the action.

DYNAMITE RESULTS

We are in the Propst Arena at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama! Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, and Taz are on commentary and were kicking this one off with a big singles match.

Will Ospreay vs Brian Cage

Before the match can officially start, we see that Kenny Omega has been attacked backstage. Ospreay is being set up week after week to be taken out by the DCF and each week he delivers quality matches right at the start of the show. Cage is no push over for Ospreay and has a mission to complete. Callis and Archer throw their weight around and get involved while Cage manages to keep the ref distracted. We get a Styles Clash from Ospreay for the win.

Winner – Will Ospreay

Jeff Jarrett vs Claudio Castagnoli – If Jeff wins, he will get a World Championship match in the future

Jeff Jarrett is in 2025 going for a World Championship is wild and I never thought I would say that. Claudio is a machine in the ring and definitely the “hired mercenary” vibe is something that fits him well. Jarrett tries his best to go toe to toe with Claudio, but it is to no avail. Yuta and Moxley get involved before the end of the match and Claudio hits 2 Neutralizers for the three count.

Winner – Claudio Castagnoli

AR Fox vs Ricochet

Fox is a highly underrated dude in the ring. He has some great skills and deserves to be on our screens regularly. It is brought up that in this match, if Swerve gets involved then the match for the Feb 5th edition of Dynamite is off. This one is not an easy one for Ricochet to get through as Fox is definitely stylistically a great match. Ricochet hits the Spirit Gun and Vertigo on Fox and scores the win

Winner – Ricochet

Jay White vs Wheeler Yuta

White and Yuta have some unfinished business to try and settle in this one. The fight does not stay in the ring as the two men continue to brawl on the outside. White focuses on Yuta’s legs a lot throughout the fight. Yuta hits an Arm Locked Olympic Slam for only a two count. Yuta attempts to line up for the Basiku Knee only for White to catch him in the Blade Runner for the win

Winner – Jay White

AEW TBS Championship – Mercedes Mone vs Yuka Sakazaki

Yuka earned this match after winning a Fatal Fourway on the previous Collision. We get a really good match out of Mercedes here even if it is a forgone conclusion that she would walk out the winner. There were a couple of spots that didn’t quite land properly, but it didn’t take away from the match. Mercedes scored the win with the Mone Maker.

Winner – Mercedes Mone

MY THOUGHTS

This show felt slightly strange in my opinion. While the in-ring stuff was great, some of the segments felt like they were slightly disjointed. Also, I have a gripe to pick with AEW at the moment and it is exactly what I called WWE out for when they did it to. Stop with the constant interference or attacks after the matches. If you use it sparingly, it will work. When you use it every single segment, it ruins the show and takes people out of it. Not everything needs to end with a beatdown.

MY THOUGHTS

A strange episode of Collision. The ball really got rolling more in the second hour of the show. Harley Cameron is absolutely comedy gold and has been doing wildly to get herself over with the crowd. This show obviously suffered due to the injury sustained by Powerhouse Hobbs as well as a lot of the talent being set to appear on the Jericho Cruise.
