8 Ups & 1 Down For AEW Collision (Nov 4 - Results & Review)

5. Adequate Neck Strong Schtick

The whole Neck Strong segment gets an Up solely for Roddy Strong hitting a jumping knee and the 'pain' resulting in him immediately requiring his wheelchair again.

This was short, it was solid enough, it got Strong on TV - starting with "DASHAAAAAA!" - and it gave the Kingdom's Matt Taven and Mike Bennett a brief in-ring outing. There, Taven and Bennett made incredibly short work of Jameson McGregor and Brixton Nash, getting the quick win after hitting a spike piledriver.

There will come a point where Roddy needs to move on from merely yelling names, or Taven and Bennett lecturing on neck strength, but this was just about okay for where we are in this particular story.
