1. Wrong Main Event

There was nothing particularly wrong with the work everyone put in for Collision's main event tag bout, but it was surely in the wrong spot. AEW would've been better served putting Dax Harwood vs. Rush in that slot, then using the eventual tag-team melee to sign off on a high.

MJF's sit-down interview with Tony Schiavone could've even followed as a special bonus, because everyone made it clear that Max's chat with Skee-a-vone was pre-taped anyway. It was fairly weird to see Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida working a random tag together rather than gearing up for their respective title matches, and a strange choice to close Collision with something that had nothing to do with Full Gear.

AEW had Rampage to work with too, but yeah.

Anyone tuning in to three epic hours of All Elite action would've expected Full Gear build and little else. So, having Stat and Shida suddenly buddy up whilst AEW tried to keep telling the Angelo Parker and Ruby Soho in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G story? Yep, certainly a choice.
