6 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Collision (15 July)

1. Still Meh

The burgeoning rivalry between the House of Black and Andrade El Idolo continues to feel a bit naff.

As mentioned in previous Collision Ups & Downs, Andrade's matches with Buddy Matthews and Brody King were magnificent, and his inevitable bout against Malakai Black should likewise be a belter, but this whole storyline is still struggling to click.

One positive of this week's House of Black shenanigans was a first Collision contest for Malakai, with him and Brody getting the dominant win over a couple of local grapplers. Still, the whole element of House of Black stealing Andrade's mask isn't working.

Of course, El Idolo would show up here to confront House of Black, but he was held back by some referees. Surely if the former La Sombra was so irate at having had his mask nicked, he couldn't easily burst past the far-from-intimidating presence of Aubrey Edwards, Bryce Remsburg, and Stephon Smith, no?
