Diving forearm back inside the ring by Ospreay only gets a one count. Leapfrog by Taylor and a body block gets a two count. The fight spills to the outside now as Taylor lays in some huge chops.

Ospreay pulls Taylor off the top rope on his shoulders, positions him, and drills him with the Stormbreaker for the win!
Winner: Will Ospreay
Rating: ***1/4. This was not a long match but this ruled. We know how good Ospreay is, but Taylor is the MAN and I love seeing him get TV time to show it. Eat that, Kevin Nash.
After the match, The Kingdom tries to attack but Ospreay dumps them to the outside and follows up with a tope before making his exit.
Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli are here. Moxley says the Don Callis Family chase the gold, the money, the Instagram, etc. The BCC don’t hunt because they’re hungry, they hunt because they’re lions. BCC doesn’t play for money, they play for blood.
Chris Jericho and Big Bill are proud of Hook, and believe Hook is learning.
Match #2. Hook vs. Johnny TV
Hip toss by Hook early. Johnny grabs a kravat and grounds Hook, but Hooks makes it to his feet and tosses Johnny with a Saito suplex. Hip toss by Hook and an exploder suplex. Jawbreaker by Johnny but Hook fights back with forearms, until Taya causes the distraction allowing Johnny to hit the Disaster Kick. Starship Pain but Hook moves and Johnny lands on his feet, but Hook is right behind him and finishes this with RedRum.
Winner: Hook
Rating: NR
As Hook makes his way up the ramp, Katsuyori Shibata’s music hits and the two exchange a fist bump.
Match #3. Katusyori Shibata vs. Rocky Romero
Shibata locks in a Figure Four early but Rocky is able to scoot himself to the ropes. Rocky dives on an Octopus Hold in the middle of the ring but Shibata hip tosses him and locks in another Figure Four. Both men roll to the ropes and we’ve got a clean break. Shibata gets a running start but eats a boot in the corner from Rocky and a diving Tornado DDT. Rocky focuses the attack on the arms now with some knee drops to the bicep as we go to a full commercial. Back from break and Shibata welcomes the kicks from Rocky, returning with hard chops of his own that send Rocky reeling into the ropes. Shibata locks in a sleeper over the rope but Romero hits a jawbreaker and a diving dropkick to a prone Shibata. Two count.

PK by Shibata before grabbing the legs and diving on a heel hook. Romero is forced to tap!
Winner: Katsuyori Shibata
Rating: ***. Shibata on my TV is always a pleasure. Rocky didn’t get a ton of offense in here and that’s fine, Shibata is building momentum towards the FTW Championship.
As Shibata walks to the back, Bryan Keith’s music hits and he tips his cap.
Match #4. Bryan Keith vs. Boulder
Boulder blindsides Keith as Jacked Jameson and Bronson expose “titty city.” Powerslam by Boulder. Two count. Keith sends Bronson into titty city now and Keith is in control. Running lariat to Boulder and a headbut. Diamond Dust to Boulder and this one is over.
Winner: Bryan Keith
Rating: NA. Well, this happened.
Lexi Nair is with Pac. No, he doesn’t care to respond to Bullet Club Gold. They’re hilarious chaps, in fact. Pac wants someone to make him feel something, anything at all.
A recap of Dynamite is shown, where we see Mercedes one getting powerbombed through a table.
Bullet Club Gold is here, and White is carrying an unconscious Pac. “I told you to stay out of Bang Bang business.”
The Patriarchy tell us that Nick will have a match tonight, and he will have another match this Wednesday with Swerve. Nick thanks Christian, but lets us know… he will do this alone.
Match #5. Orange Cassidy vs. Isiah Kassidy
Both men trade am drags and Orange gets a back slide for two. Roll up for two. Both guys trade leg trips, quick covers, roll ups, etc. Bow and arrow by Orange but Isiah flips out. Orange sends Isiah to the outside and both guys in the corner by the guardrail. Orange notices Trent walking down from the crowd and Isiah takes control, sending Orange into the safety railing before back suplexing him on the top. Isiah misses a double stomp inside the ring but comes back with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Isiah hammer throws Orange into the turnbuckle, causing him to go over the top and land hard on the floor.

Swanton to the back of a prone Orange gets a long two count. Isiah looks for a piledriver but Orange counters with Beach Break out of nowhere!
Winner: Orange Cassidy
Rating: **3/4. Perfectly acceptable wrestling match here, with Orange building some momentum to, what I would assume, would be a rematch with Trent pretty soon.
Lexi Nair is with Trent here at ringside. Trent says he’s a better wrestler than Orange Cassidy and challenges him to a straight up match at Double or Nothing. Cassidy charges Trent and lands a few right hands before security breaks it up.

Abdominal stretch by Deeb but Jay makes her way to the ropes. Inverted teeter totter by Deeb but Jay fights out. Jay rolls to the ropes and Deeb charges, sending her to the floor. Jay seems to have tweaked her knee on the fall as we go to a full commercial break. Back now with a spinning hook kick by Jay for two. Deeb ducks a pair of clotheslines and hits a diving one of her own. Deeb charges but eats a boot in the corner, catches the boot and delivers a dragon screw leg whip. Release German suplex by Deeb and a Pepsi Twist gets two. Deeb looks for a piledriver but Jay responds with a hook kick. Jay hits the ropes and Deeb follows with a chop block from behind. Queenslayer by Jay out of nowhere! Gory Special by Jay but her knee gives out and Deeb takes advantage. Double underhook facebuster by Deeb before isolating the injured knee and finishing this one with the single leg Boston Crab.
Winner: Serena Deeb
Rating: **1/2. Listen, Deeb needed to win here, obviously, but I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw Anna Jay win a match. Perfectly acceptable showing but can’t someone else lose besides Anna Jay?
Luther is here at ringside and he grabs Deeb’s flag, bringing it to the top of the ramp. Mariah May and Toni Storm are here, as Luther and May hold the flag up as a curtain, Storm undresses, and wraps herself in it. Deeb charges but Storm and company retreat.
Match #7. Nick Wayne vs. Jack Cartwheel
Wayne attacks early but Cartwheel sends him to the floor. Cartwheel then looks for the Sasuke Special to the outside but Wayne moves and Cartwheel lands HARD on the floor.

After the match, The Righteous attack from behind. The Elite have put a hit out on the heads of Danielson and FTR. Blackout to Cash on a chair! Swanton by Vincent to Dax on a chair. Daniel Garcia is here! Garcia dumps Vincent on his head with a Saito suplex and sends Archer to the floor with a clothesline.
Final Thoughts: Boy, were there a lot of matches on this show. Eight is a lot. Double or Nothing is almost completely set in stone, but we’re advancing a lot of the stories on the way, e.g. Deeb and Storm, Elite vs. Team AEW, etc. The wrestling was really just about average this week, but on a taped show, we’ve seen that be the case. Still, a fun two hours nonetheless, just not what we’ve come to expect from Collision. 7/10.
