AEW Collision’s five-week residency at the Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas, came to an end on Saturday, a little more than a week out from All In at Wembley Stadium.
Britt Baker def. Harley Cameron
With Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness on call, the show opened with Britt Baker’s theme as we went right into the action. Cameron got some decent offense in, but this ended in a decisive win with the Lockjaw for Baker ahead of her TBS Title match against Mercedes Moné at Wembley.
After the match, Kamille & Mercedes appeared. Kamille caught a kendo stick as Baker swung it, broke it over her knee, and went on the attack. Moné then entered the ring and placed her foot on a prone Baker.

ROH World Tag Team Titles: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara def. The Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) (c)
Taven & Bennett absorbed a great deal of high-paced offense from Guevara. The heels took some time to neutralize Guevara, who eventually got a hot tag to Rhodes. The Beast Mortos and Roderick Strong then came to ringside but they were taken care of by The Von Erichs. Things broke down even further as the Gates of Agony and the Conglomeration joined the ringside brawl. A couple of near-falls later and Guevara got the pin on Bennett for the title change.

AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator: FTR vs. The Acclaimed – 30 minute time limit draw
This was tremendous, and well worth checking out.

A highly competitive match followed, with the momentum swinging between the two teams.
