8 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Collision (June 17)

7. Captain Charisma Steals The Show

AEW Collision Luchasaurus Christian Cage

While there are plentiful questions surrounding AEW's handling of Wardlow, the War Dog's loss of the TNT Title at least gave Christian Cage the perfect opportunity to yuck it up for the cameras.

Cage proudly parading around with the TNT Championship over his head was phenomenal, with the Canadian showing off that prize as if he were a doting father showcasing his newborn baby.

From here on out, we've got the prospect of Christian wearing the TNT Title on a weekly basis, passing the championship off as his own. Similarly, you could even go as far as to have Luchasaurus outright hand the belt over to his mentor, with Cage being formally crowned the TNT Champion.

Regardless of which was AEW opts to go with this, Christian Cage will absolutely kill it. When it comes to maximising their minutes - particularly as a chicken sh*t heel - few do it as well as the seven-time World Champion.
