Another week, another AEW Collision in the books.

As the Blue League of the Continental Classic rumbles on, this week's edition of AEW's Saturday staple brought a couple of cracking tournament matches in the shape of Eddie Kingston vs. Claudio Castagnoli and Andrade El Idolo vs. Bryan Danielson. Elsewhere, Willow Nightingale and Mercedes Martinez faced off as their burgeoning issues continue on, Wardlow got to test his mettle against Willie Mack, and there was plenty of love from the Montreal, Quebec crowd as Ethan Page challenged Kenny Omega, and Daddy Magic and Cool Hand Ang squared off with Penta El Zero Miedo and Komander.

While the focus was largely on in-ring action this week, there was still a few promo segments thrown in for good measure, with Jon Moxley and Swerve Strickland hyping their upcoming Continental Classic meeting, a smidge of Keith Lee and Shane Taylor ahead of their ROH Final Battle bout on Friday, and a little more in the brewing romance between Ruby Soho and the aforementioned Angelo Parker.

With all of that in mind, then, Saturday night's alright for fighting...
