AEW Collision Review 16.3.2025.

Intro.

Bright lights are on and AEW is going to set my soul on fire. Viva Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas. Viva, oh viva Las Vegas. I know what you're all thinking. Patrick shut up your not Elvis, so don't even try it.

AEW Stars Before The Show.

Ricochet. Katsuyouri Shibata. Mark Davis. Mark Briscoe. The Undisputed Kingdom, and FTR, were seen giving their thoughts on each other ahead of their Matches tonight.

Ricochet vs Katsuyouri Shibata Internatioal Championship Eliminator Tournament.

I loved this. From the superb physicality, and gamesmanship that both men showed.  Shibata playing the older brother version of keep away, to Jeffrey Dalmer getting the win, by being a cheating little rat. This Match, was a lot of fun and a great way to kick the show off.

The Murder Machines Murdering Fools.

RIP to these local enhancement talents, they came, they saw, they got murdered by the Murder Machines. More on these guys later.

Timeless Toni Storm Segment.

Timeless Toni Storm loves Las Vegas, but she hates Megan Bayne. I loved Luther in the background dressed up as a Bond villain.

Powerhouse Hobbs vs Griff Garrison.

Powerhouse Hobbs, beat Griff Garrison in a flat TV Match, and I know what you're all thinking. Griff Garrison is still in AEW. Griff's mates in his frat house faction, were then cleared out by The Outrunners.

Thunder Rosa Segment.

Thunder Rosa cut a passionate promo on Megan Bayne, and then was attacked by Ms Bayne. Now I like Thunder Rosa, but I also like Megan Bayne, but which one's better, there's only one way to find out? Fiiiiiiggggghhhht. Thunder sold the beatdown perfectly. This would be an episode thread for Rosa.

Mark Davis vs Mark Briscoe International Championship Eliminator Tournament.

I loved this. Mark Briscoe having chair fun, added like a perfect mix with Mark Davis's hard hitting style. The Murder Machines helped their faction friend get the win, they then proceeded to deck some local enhancement talents, they were saved by Briscoe, and Powerhouse Hobbs.

Swerve Strickland Segment.

This. Was the highlight of the show. Swerve was on fire here. He said that he would love to face Ricochet again, and then proceeded to do his best Impersonation of Simon Miller. He talked about his time from last year, upon to now, and said that even though he respects Adam Copeland, he will go through him, regardless of the history they have, because he's in his way. And when it came to Jon Moxley, he said that he's desperate everytime he talks in riddles, it was at this point when Mox attacked Swerve, whilst looking like the worst bank robber i've ever seen. After the attack the camera followed Mox to the back were an ambulance could be seen, and he said that Wednesday it's on. 

Hologram And Top Flight vs Shane Taylor Promotions.

Hologram, and. Top Flight, beat. Shane Taylor Promotions in a flat and boring match, as. Action Andretti and Lio Rush just looked on. The fans were dead for this, and you know what I don't blame them.

Thunder Rosa vs Megan Bayne.

Megan Bayne, beat Thunder Rosa in a solid TV Match, and looked awesome in the process. She beat Thunder down in the aftermath. Thunder was saved by Kris Statlander, and Bayne was stared down by Timeless Toni Storm. I liked this, even though the ending was a bit convoluted.

FTR vs Roderick Strong And Kyle O'reilly.

I liked this. I felt like I was watching the old FTR. Their tenacity was back, and the overall feeling surrounding the team is slowly starting to come back. I had a great time watching this. Adam Cole, and. Daniel Garcia were onOverview commentary and added some solid insights, the near falls were moulded into the physicality perfectly, as the final exchanges saw FTR get the win. Daniel Garcia, and. Adam Cole had a stare down ahead of their Championship Match next week.

Overview Of AEW Collision.

This broadcast was an interesting oversight into how the company is moving forward, and I have to say it. I'm liking the direction. The in-ring work was solid, and it was great that being the main focus.

This weeks AEW Collision is a solid 8/10.
