6 Ups & 4 Downs For AEW Collision (Oct 7 - Results & Review)

5. An 'Absolute' Shocker

Ricky Starks and Big Bill are your new AEW Tag Team Champions, and likely not a single person saw this coming.

The match itself wasn't particularly up to much, but it wasn't designed to be. Cash Wheeler was immediately left laying on the outside, Dax Harwood essentially found himself in a handicap match, Wheeler was then put through the announce table, Harwood was hit by three chokeslams, before Starks hit a spear to pin Dax and secure the 1-2-3 in less than five minutes.

This was dominant, this was shocking, and it certainly shakes up the AEW tag team ranks.

Starks may have come up short in his quest to secure the Real Worlds Championship, but the Stroke Daddy now has his first piece of official AEW gold; the FTW Title not being formally recognised, of course. So much of this match was once again about making Big Bill look like an absolute monster here, and Ricky Starks looked simply, well, Absolute.

Given how many were presuming we'd soon be getting another FTR vs. Young Bucks match for the AEW Tag Team Titles - with the Bucks having recently won a title shot - it remains to be seen where this now leaves Dax and Cash. Interestingly, Fightful Select notes there's been speculation that Wheeler could well be injured, although that has yet to be confirmed. As per Starks in a later backstage promo, FTR purportedly will not be getting an immediate rematch either.
