AEW Collision Review – October 14, 2023
Kicking off this week’s Collision with Adam Copeland said Christian Cage had a lot of things to say and suspects that in his diluted mind he actually believes them.
TNT Champion Christian Cage’s entrance theme played & Cage came out with Luchasaurus & Nick Wayne. Cage & his security crew joins Copeland inside the ring.
Cage told the crowd to shut their mouths while he conducted business. Cage sat on the top rope in a corner of the ring and claimed that his security were for Copeland’s protection. He suggested that Copeland leave the ring. He said that if Copeland stuck around in AEW it would be like he’s from Toledo and would be known for nothing.
Cage labeled himself the face of Warner Bros. Discovery. He said he wanted to have a straight up fight with Bryan Danielson and said that couldn’t happen if Copeland was present. Cage declared that he’s the best wrestler in the world.
Bryan Danielson walks out and said that he spoke with Tony Khan. He said Luchasaurus & Wayne would be banned from ringside when they met for the TNT Title.
AEW World Tag Team Champions Ricky Starks & Big Bill made their entrance & Starks asked if he was seeing a remake of Wild Hogs. He said everyone in the ring was taking up time that belonged to him & Bill.
Starks told Cage that he respects him and then enters the ring while Bill remains on the floor. Starks stood behind the security guard and told Copeland not to look at him with his bug eyes.
Copeland mocked Starks’ silk slacks. Starks said Copeland didn’t bring his fashion sense from the other place. Copeland said Starks took his fashion sense from The Rock and calls him a vanilla midget version of him.
FTR made their entrance and headed to the ring. Wheeler recalls AEW’s medical team telling them they didn’t have to wrestle last week because they were banged up. Wheeler said they chose to wrestle and it was the wrong choice.
Wheeler said they would work their way up and earn their rematch. Dax Harwood emphasized that he & Wheeler were banged up last week but he said everyone in the building is banged up.
Danielson suggested that he & Cage have their match now before Cage shoved one of the security guards forward then fled the ring while a brawl broke out. FTR, Copeland & Danielson clears Starks, Luchasaurus & Wayne and most of the security guards from the ring.
Danielson put the lone remaining security guard in the LeBell Lock & the guard taps repeatedly then acts like he passed out before Danielson finally released the hold.
