6 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Collision: Holiday Bash (Dec 23 - Results & Review)

Ups...

6. Big Boys Who Shift

Keith Lee Brian Cage
AEW

The upside to Keith Lee is that he has a point to prove. His AEW run hasn't hit the heights anyone expected when he left WWE and signed on the dotted line, but he's defo capable inside the ring when given the time to showcase his intoxicating blend between power moves and astonishing agility.

Lee vs. Brian Cage on Collision worked out well.

It was clear to see from the first lockup that Cage and Keith fancied working a banger match that wouldn't look out of place next to some of the higher-profile bouts on the episode. Their scrap didn't quite reach 'Match Of The Night' territory, but it was never less than watchable. Some of the spots were actually really impressive.

The way bigger lads like Lee and Cage move around the ring is incredible to witness. It must be a proper thrill for fans with ringside seats to see workers with this bulk/muscle up close and flying about the place. Their match offered something different on Collision, and that's why it scores an 'Up'.
