Another week, another AEW Collision in the books.

This time out, we had yet another extremely solid outing for AEW's weekly Saturday show, with this an episode brimming with solid-to-great pro wrestling action.

On main event duties, it was the Blackpool Combat Club's Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli taking on Eddie Kingston & Ortiz, with fellow BCC man Jon Moxley left to open the show with the hard-hitting Shane Taylor.

Elsewhere, Thunder Rosa competed in her first singles match since August 2022, Adam Copeland continued his Cope Open Challenge, Daniel Garcia and Buddy Matthews went to war, Roddy Strong picked up some momentum ahead of facing Orange Cassidy, and 'Timeless' Toni Storm finally admitted that, yes, she's fully aware of who Deonna Purrazzo is.

Emanating from St. Louis, Missouri's Chaifetz Centre - which, admittedly, took a little while to truly heat up - let's take a look at those Ups and, of course, those Downs.

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