6 Ups & 3 Downs For AEW Collision (March 9 - Results & Review)

5. Yes, Please!

While Bryan Danielson vs. Shane Taylor was a hard-hitting, fun opener, clearly the biggest story is that we're getting Danielson going one-on-one with Will Ospreay at AEW Dynasty next month.

Two men very much in the conversation for being the best pro wrestler in the world, Danielson vs. Ospreay has the potential to be a Match of the Year contender and an all-timer of a contest. As soon as the Aerial Assassin announced he was becoming #AllElite, a match with Bryan was one that many fans were eagerly hoping would happen at some point.

Did anyone expect this match to happen so soon into Ospreay's burgeoning AEW run? Maybe not, but following last week's AEW Dynamite, it became clear this dream match was on the imminent horizon - and now it's official for Dynasty.

The smiles on both Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay said it all for how these two clearly feel about locking up for the first time ever, and the promo back-and-forth between the pair was simple but effective; Ospreay has long stated to be the best in the world, Danielson wants to give him the chance to prove that by going up against the American Dragon.
