Samoa Joe made things very clear when it comes to CM Punk. Accept the challenge for All In, or bad things will happen.
Punk remained quiet, and Joe would cost him and FTR the AEW World Trios Championship when he choked Punk out. Tonight, Joe will be in action once again – and will be expecting to finally get a clear answer from Punk.
CM Punk Gives Samoa Joe His Answer
Joe would hit the ring, with his opponent already there – dressed in a gold bodysuit. The opponent would attack before the bell, and was called Golden Vampire by the referee.
Joe was hit with a rising knee strike and the Go To Sleep, and turns out The Golden Vampire was the Real AEW World Champion himself, CM Punk.
The bell didn’t ring, the match was not official – but Punk ensured a match was official. Grabbing a microphone, Punk had a quick message for Joe – “I accept, bitch”. We will get CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe at All In London, for the Real World Championship!
Jay White & Dalton Castle Lock Up For First Time Singles Match
When you have a roster as stacked as Tony Khan has built between AEW & ROH – there are many top names and former World Champions around. Two such names are Jay White & Dalton Castle, and both are also two of the most dynamic wrestlers active tonight.
They have never met in a singles match, and that changes here tonight on AEW Collision. White is preparing for a huge trios match at Wembley Stadium, and beating Castle would be an excellent way to get prepared.
In AEW, White has a perfect 6-0 singles record – but Castle promises to ‘suplex him so hard, his brains fall out of his butt’, seeing this as his moment to truly show AEW fans what he can do.
Castle had the crowd eating from the palm of his hand with his entrance alone, and the former ROH World Champion was ready to get the biggest win of his time in AEW.
White would have his ankle picked as the bell rang, and would scramble to the ropes to avoid further damage. Castle would look for his first suplex after a rear waist lock, but White went to the mat to avoid this.
White would try to make this a ground based match, but Castle was determined for the suplex – but settled for a mat return.
Castle would be driven into the corner for some shoulder thrusts before some Switchblade Chops, but White took some return blows from Castle before fighting off another Exploder Suplex attempt.
Castle would sling White into the corner and tried for a jumping knee strike – but White dodged, causing Castle to fly to the floor. He would hit his back off the apron on the way down, aggravating an old injury in the process.
Breathe With The Switchblade
White would hit a front suplex onto the apron, before tearing at the face of Castle. He’d drive Castle back first into the apron a few times, before applying a Rear Chinlock in the ring.
Castle would refuse to give in, but a stiff DDT would get White a two count and kept the pressure on with a rear waist lock.
Castle had literally broken his back defending the ROH World Championship many years ago, and that injury continues to haunt him with every match.
Fighting back with some lariats, Castle would look to recover – and finally would hit the Exploder Suplex. Even with a bad back, he’s got some of the best suplexes in the industry.
White tried to set up a Half Nelson Suplex, but Castle hit the Ripcord Elbow instead. Stumbling into the corner, White was in position for the running knee lift, before taking another suplex.
Castle would hit a third suplex, and a Deadlift German Suplex was the fourth – getting a two count. White would send Castle to the floor and hit some chops before trying to toss him back into the ring.
Castle would hit a quick hurricanrana using the apron, before being distracted by Bullet Club Gold. The Boys would dive onto The Gunns & Robinson to help Castle out.
Back in the ring, he attempted the Bang-A-Rang on White, but took the Uranage, Sleeper Suplex & Blade Runner – ending this match with a Jay White victory.
