9 Ups & 3 Downs For AEW Collision (22 July)
Mounting tensions between CM Punk and Ricky Starks take centre-stage.
Another weekend, another AEW Collision in the books. And once again, it was a largely fantastic outing for AEW's Saturday crew.
In-ring, there was plenty to enjoy, starting with Bullet Club Gold's Jay White and Juice Robinson taking on the plucky babyface pairing of Action Andretti and Darius Martin. We also had another match for Miro, with the Redeemer this time facing the powerhouse figure of Nick Comoroto, and that itself was followed by the House of Black putting the AEW Trios Titles on the line against the Acclaimed and Daddy Ass.
Elsewhere, Sky Blue faced off against Taya Valkyrie, and the main event of this week's Collision had Ricky Starks team with Christian Cage to do battle with CM Punk and Darby Allin. Of course, the big talking point going into this latest Collision, was Starks using the ropes to pin the Second City Saint and win the Owen Hart Cup last week.
On that front, this Collision furthered tensions between Punk and Absolute, and there was also a smidge of development for FTR vs. Adam Cole & MJF, the setup of something between Taya Valkyrie and Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D., and also the tease of Scorpio Sky going after the TNT Title.
With all of that in mind, then, let's takes a look at the Ups & Downs of the latest episode of a show that's continuing to be the highlight of the pro wrestling week for many.
Saturday night's alright for fighting, indeed...
