00:11 We welcome you to the debut episode of A.A.W. Collegiate Main Event.
00:15 What a moment.
00:17 [Cheering]
00:26 [Music]
00:45 I don't know if you guys heard, but I'm tired of being nice.
00:49 Gone ten months with a ruptured tricep tendon.
00:53 Tore it straight off the bone. But I'm still here.
00:56 This has never been a popularity contest.
00:59 I would like to have a little conversation about my past.
01:02 I don't think it's checkered.
01:04 If you would have told 15 year old me that you're going to sell out Madison Square Garden,
01:10 well, I'm not sure a little punker would have believed you.
01:13 Standing here in front of all you crazy bastards,
01:17 I love you for it. I love you because you love me.
01:21 I have been unapologetic my entire career.
01:25 But it seems there's some people that hate me for the same reasons you all love me.
01:31 And listen, it makes people uncomfortable. That's because I am the truth.
01:37 [Chanting]
01:41 Boo me. Cheer me. You all do it because you know I'm right.
01:46 You know what David Zaslav calls me? One Bill Phil.
01:50 That's because I am the one true, genuine article in a business full of counterfeit bucks.
01:56 The king is back, baby.
01:58 [Cheering]
02:06 Why would I change? I will always speak truth to power.
02:10 I will always be myself. I will never compromise.
02:13 I am sorry, but the only people softer than you are the wrestlers you like.
02:18 I held what's in this bag above my head. It's mine because I earned it.
02:23 It's mine because I won the dog collar match.
02:27 And there are those of you, I'm going to put these down here in this ring,
02:31 and walk into the sunset never to be seen again.
02:33 There is somebody in this company. Fill these boots.
02:37 They belong on my feet. Tell me what I'm telling lies.
02:42 [Music]
02:44 Obviously what's in that bag to me, he returns tonight to in-ring competition.
02:51 I didn't come here to be white. I am a star.
02:55 [Music]
02:57 The smiling face of Christian Cage. A lot of responsibility for what we're about to see here tonight.
03:03 [Music]
03:06 Lucha!
03:10 Welcome to your debut episode of Collision Live!
03:14 Whoa!
03:16 Look what awaits him in the ring. Captain Chris himself, Christian Cage.
03:22 The bell sounds. We're underway.
03:25 [Music]
03:28 Whoa!
03:30 There's nothing wrong with that when you've been in this job as long as Christian Cage.
03:33 [Music]
03:35 Just enough of a distraction.
03:37 There you go. Cincinnati himself with Captain Charisma.
03:41 But Wardlow is 9-1.
03:44 [Music]
03:47 Up is Challenger.
03:49 The thumb clean off of Luchasaurus.
03:51 [Music]
03:53 A very understanding individual.
03:55 Now the power of Luchasaurus. One-arm choke slam.
03:59 It is Cano. Challenger answers with one of his own mighty swing of the right arm.
04:04 What is Cano doing here?
04:07 There's one.
04:08 It's gonna be a cacophony.
04:10 Whoa!
04:11 A sucker to a no!
04:14 [Music]
04:17 Trying to drive him down.
04:20 What a feat!
04:22 Luchasaurus claiming he just took a camera photographer and seen it all.
04:28 But it's coming to focus.
04:30 Standing by, our pal Lexi Mayer.
04:34 Wrestling here on Collision Planet.
04:35 Lexi, we never said wrestle.
04:37 All we said was Powerhouse would be here and he's here.
04:39 I do have a QTV exclusive for you.
04:42 Powerhouse Hobbs will be and will win the Owen Hart Tournament.
04:46 When the press release dropped about Collision, whose name was front and center?
04:50 I am the face of TNT.
04:53 And there's a new chapter in the book of Hobbs.
04:55 It's about me being on top of the hill, winning that Owen Hart Tournament.
04:59 And taking what's mine.
05:01 [Music]
05:06 Members of the House of Black.
05:08 Buddy Murphy!
05:11 The power, agility, and speed.
05:14 And now he is under the tutelage.
05:16 [Music]
05:19 And Murphy!
05:22 And he's on it!
05:25 Opponent, that ability to switch gears, incredible.
05:30 [Music]
05:33 But Andrade, first time since.
05:36 [Music]
05:38 A little more padding and protection.
05:40 You want to see, ooh, a monster.
05:43 34 years of combined experience.
05:45 Teenager, Andrade beginning his wrestling journey.
05:48 It's the way it's done in Mexico.
05:51 Andrade to the ropes again.
05:53 [Music]
05:55 Of course he did.
05:57 Coming on.
05:59 Bind first and now throw.
06:02 Enjoy competing against each other.
06:04 Oh wow.
06:06 Ooh.
06:08 If you're Andrade, ooh, you better hope.
06:13 And now.
06:16 Got him.
06:20 Determination.
06:22 Andrade can screw leg whip.
06:28 Got him.
06:29 Fridge, and almost got him.
06:32 Watch out.
06:33 Got him.
06:34 Two and oh.
06:36 Offense here.
06:37 Powerful.
06:38 The knee gave way.
06:41 Oh my God.
06:42 Grab the sound of thunder.
06:45 Oh.
06:46 Two.
06:49 Into here, but oh.
06:51 Going right back down.
06:52 Figure four, figure four.
06:54 Oh boy.
06:55 This has got to be absolute agony.
06:58 He's positioning himself closer to the rope.
07:00 Oh my God.
07:01 Oh nice, there's a tap.
07:02 There's a tap.
07:04 Human chess that you learn from different masters.
07:06 You've adapted your--
07:08 It goes all the way to eight and tonight.
07:14 And Buddy Matthews wants nothing.
07:21 Oh wait a minute.
07:23 Completely-- wait.
07:25 Okay.
07:26 Oh my God, look behind him.
07:31 Andrade is surrounded by the house of black.
07:41 Sun's still shining a bit at twilight at the United Center.
07:44 Listen, listen up.
07:46 Being that I am a personal trainer,
07:49 proud, full of the fattest, most disgusting trash.
07:54 Oh, boo, boo, you're fat.
07:55 That's right.
07:56 I have decided to shut Collision down.
08:00 Everybody stand up.
08:02 Keep this down.
08:04 We all know New York is better.
08:06 Come on Kevin.
08:08 What?
08:15 Signed across.
08:17 A brutish, monstrous, and redemptible fighter.
08:21 He said that he wants the land staked for professional wrestling.
08:26 Developed the moniker, wrestling is the king of sports.
08:30 He's sambo, he's throwing, weight lifting, he's done it all.
08:36 Long arms, long legs.
08:39 Is that a wire?
08:42 Whoa.
08:44 One, two, three, four.
08:47 Clubbing forearms across the chest and now using the ring as a weapon.
08:52 Here I beckoned him in like--
08:56 Oh come on.
08:57 That's a good start.
09:02 Clancy.
09:03 No, he doesn't.
09:05 Keep going through the roll of extra plans there, Tony Nese.
09:08 Here he comes.
09:12 The Bulgarian brutish done it.
09:14 Tonight.
09:17 World TV champion Samoa Joe, how about Bullet Club Gold's J.Y. Juice Robinson tag partners?
09:25 The Alistair.
09:28 Attention seeking kids and they said they were going to--
09:31 Sounds like something you'd like Kevin Payne now.
09:36 Oh, sure, it's easy to say.
09:38 He's only going to give her some confidence.
09:40 She's going to need it.
09:43 Sky Blue.
09:47 She's a native of Chicago.
09:49 If you just liken her to what happened the last time she got the wrong side of the outcast.
09:54 It's the--
09:55 Watch out.
09:56 After Sky Blue, Ruby Soho.
09:59 Will allow her mother to sit here at ringside.
10:02 Oh, stop it.
10:03 Oh, here we go.
10:04 Oh.
10:06 There you go.
10:07 Security.
10:08 Oh, watch out.
10:09 My God.
10:10 Involved where she shouldn't.
10:14 Back in the ring.
10:15 He has been.
10:18 Oh.
10:20 Give a nightingale.
10:21 Oh, the spanking.
10:22 There is.
10:26 Delivering a pair of socks to the outcasts.
10:30 Agate Keller.
10:34 The on guard spine buster from Will Nightingale.
10:38 Oh, the global elbow.
10:41 Chopped out with the damage to the lower back.
10:44 Trying to get there to help her partner.
10:48 Undeniable power pump handle.
10:52 Hang on, Ruby Soho in.
10:58 Oh.
11:00 Oh, no.
11:02 A little friendly fire.
11:07 Oh.
11:08 Soho's boy.
11:10 That's why you keep the flannels together.
11:15 Well, she should do.
11:16 She played a pivotal call.
11:18 This summer kicks off the Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament.
11:25 The acclaimed entertainment.
11:27 Listen.
11:28 Running in the game.
11:29 Acclaimed in the house.
11:30 This is a refreshenado.
11:32 Damn it feels good to be here in Chicago.
11:35 This is our town.
11:36 It's so obvious.
11:37 We stole more hearts than Trump stole documents.
11:40 Everybody tell daddy ass happy Father's Day.
11:44 What?
11:45 I'm wrong.
11:47 Nothing like being in the ring for this.
11:49 You look marvelous.
11:51 I survived that I went out and got me a new scissor outfit.
11:54 What do you all think?
11:55 Trio's title is still not out of the picture.
11:58 We're just about to get back on track.
12:01 That's right.
12:02 And we're going to have plenty of time to do that.
12:04 Acclaimed every Wednesday.
12:06 And acclaimed every weekend.
12:09 I think we're going to stick around for dynamite this week.
12:12 With the first ever collision scissor.
12:16 In the scissor city of Chicago.
12:20 Because in Chicago 3-1.
12:23 Love.
12:24 [Cheering]
12:28 Oh my God.
12:29 [Music]
12:30 Here on the rest of the debut episode.
12:33 Brian Danielson issued the challenge to Kazuchika Okada.
12:36 MJF defending against Hiroshi Tanahashi.
12:40 3-1.
12:41 [Music]
12:43 Switch blade Jay White.
12:46 Robinson.
12:47 You get older you get clumsier.
12:48 No.
12:49 [Laughter]
12:50 And everything.
12:52 There's nothing keeping you from Chicago.
12:55 Samoa Joe.
12:59 Nigel you've booked against him.
13:00 Often times you don't beat Samoa Joe.
13:03 Jay White good to see you.
13:05 [Music]
13:07 FTR.
13:10 [Cheering]
13:15 CM Punk.
13:19 [Music]
13:21 What an atmosphere.
13:23 Without a doubt the critics say.
13:25 That's what the critics say.
13:27 FTR has to be ready.
13:29 Because you would imagine.
13:31 And these guys have the ability.
13:33 Nobody did it better than CM Punk and Samoa Joe.
13:36 Jay White and Dax Harwood.
13:38 Screamed out around the United Center.
13:41 These guys are going to beat the hell out of each other.
13:44 Smothering his opponent there as well.
13:47 And historic Jay White into the rope.
13:50 Back drop.
13:51 To the gates.
13:52 He's on the bell as well.
13:54 Mesmerized by this action.
13:56 Trying to take all that momentum away from CM FTR.
13:59 They failed to.
14:02 Dax got himself caught.
14:04 Illinois native Juice Robertson.
14:06 Chad was my.
14:08 The double team in Ohio.
14:10 Yeah.
14:11 Absolutely.
14:12 Big time order.
14:14 But they got the ability to do it.
14:16 Strong boy.
14:18 And we're going to see it.
14:19 Listen to this.
14:20 [Cheering]
14:23 Oh wow.
14:25 Whoa wow.
14:27 Chicago is hot tonight.
14:30 And you can be sure.
14:31 Look at the guy with the sleeve.
14:33 Trying to put momentum.
14:35 Uh oh.
14:37 They want to see it.
14:40 And CM Punk.
14:41 [Cheering]
14:44 And Samoa Joe had perhaps the greatest trilogy of matches.
14:48 Oh.
14:51 What's going on here on AEW Collision.
14:53 It's our main event.
14:54 Who's will can withstand.
14:57 There's someone in his corner who might.
15:01 Who should he fear?
15:02 That look says a lot, doesn't it?
15:04 They have shared in their rivalry over 20 years.
15:08 Very little Dexter can do.
15:10 JR usually knows it.
15:12 Gotta get to the corner.
15:15 Two partners ready and it's.
15:17 Two.
15:19 Two and.
15:21 It's another one.
15:24 Another one.
15:26 Nothing pretty.
15:30 So CM Punk started this broadcast.
15:33 Five gold at this juncture in the match.
15:35 A lot of confidence.
15:36 As ring of honor's champion.
15:39 Trying to make a run.
15:40 Ring of honor teaming title.
15:42 And Punk getting to break it out.
15:44 Whoa.
15:48 Now T-Guy.
15:49 Oh.
15:50 They're in the lock.
15:52 CM Punk not.
15:54 But conscious, yes.
15:55 Gotta be.
15:56 Got it.
16:02 Oh.
16:03 Jay White down.
16:07 Hold on there in combination.
16:09 Outside watch out.
16:10 Juice Robinson.
16:12 Uranage.
16:13 That'll do it.
16:14 Two.
16:15 Puts down.
16:16 Oh.
16:17 No.
16:18 Good counter.
16:20 What Punk gonna do?
16:21 He better tag and he does.
16:23 Oh.
16:27 You can get it too.
16:29 And Juice dives in to break it.
16:31 Counter and a tag.
16:33 Oh.
16:40 Oh come on from the wide side.
16:42 I'm surprised it's a mixed one.
16:44 Juice fight to the floor.
16:48 Oh.
16:49 Oh.
16:50 Give it in.
16:51 Nigel.
16:52 No.
16:53 Out across the crossover.
16:57 Juice.
16:59 Oh.
17:01 Oh.
17:03 Oh.
17:05 What a fortuitous.
17:07 Juice.
17:09 Both units on the same thing.
17:14 And when that time comes, CM Punk said, "I'm committed everybody."
17:17 [Music]
