00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Red hot summer night here in the Bronx Center
00:10 returning to Sketch-O-Water.
00:12 Oh, we are getting so much more sports.
00:16 (upbeat music)
00:18 Really fast.
00:20 - I got a big match tonight against Samoa Joe.
00:24 I don't want to come out here
00:25 and take up too much of your time.
00:27 It's not just about Joe.
00:28 It's about everybody here,
00:30 everybody here in Hart Stampede country.
00:35 I recognize the gravity of the moment.
00:38 This is the biggest match of my career.
00:40 Feels like the end of the tournament,
00:42 feels like the finals of the tournament, but it's not.
00:45 Kevin Kelly has said it, time will stand still.
00:49 18 years, I got scars like a roadmap
00:52 up and down my pretty face because of this man.
00:55 I am pretty.
00:56 If it wasn't for Owen Hart, I might not be here right now.
01:00 None of us would be here if it was not for Owen Hart.
01:05 I will earn it.
01:09 I cannot promise a victory.
01:11 I have never beaten Samoa Joe.
01:13 I will pour my heart out in between those four posts
01:17 for you, for you sitting at home and for Owen.
01:21 - Four men tonight, but our main event is one-on-one
01:26 between Punk and Joe.
01:27 - Powerhouse Hobbs.
01:31 - To the finals, Powerhouse Hobbs awaits Ricky Starks.
01:36 Oh, but perhaps no better way
01:38 than to earn a first in the finals.
01:39 - Ricky Starks.
01:41 - The history of Hobbs and Starks are in.
01:45 - They collide in the center of the ring,
01:47 and man, culminated thus far, Kevin.
01:49 - No doubt, and the power,
01:51 yeah, the distractions on the outside
01:52 don't add up to Ricky Starks.
01:55 - No, I would not agree, but thank you for asking.
01:58 - Title shots, goodbyes.
02:00 - I've gotta be honest,
02:01 odds are certainly stacked against him,
02:05 against the fierce old.
02:07 - Who would make the finals at this tournament?
02:08 Is the U-Bow?
02:09 Catches, drawing Adam Cole.
02:11 It's tough to measure the heart, though.
02:16 - On it, but get help, he gets disqualified.
02:21 Close to the ropes, two.
02:24 Oh, came up empty, trying to catch that.
02:27 - Oh, oh, oh.
02:28 - Starks getting that.
02:29 - Oh, QT with three.
02:31 - Oh, wait a minute, it's Twinbuster.
02:33 - Twinbuster, Twinbuster.
02:34 - One, two, three.
02:37 - Two, two, two.
02:39 - Hold on a second.
02:41 - Come on.
02:42 - Starks.
02:43 - Oh.
02:44 - Two, gets out.
02:47 - Seeing QT pull the foot,
02:49 I think her spidey senses were tingling,
02:51 and the more QT protests.
02:52 - Oh, whoa, whoa, wait a second.
02:54 - I'm not gonna give credit to you, come on.
03:00 - Oh, it's all incoming game, trying to.
03:07 - There you go.
03:09 - By best day, oh, look at this now.
03:19 - Probably the best decision that powerhouse Hobbs could've made.
03:22 Well, there could be more to this story.
03:24 We'll follow up.
03:25 A lot of people have been talking about Miro.
03:28 - Many men have lost himself after a deal with the devil.
03:31 Only one man have found himself after a showdown with his God.
03:35 I am ready to fight anyone and hurt them in ways they cannot hurt me.
03:39 Because nobody can hurt the man who has nobody left to love.
03:43 Nobody can hurt the man who has nothing left to covet.
03:46 I must walk the righteous path.
03:48 I must be what my God was not.
03:50 Because I am Miro.
03:52 And I sense a big battle is coming.
03:55 And it's the one we've all been waiting for.
03:58 - Return to physical action for Julia Hart.
04:00 She has been something else in the House of Black.
04:03 - Yeah, Willow, I know you're disappointed,
04:05 not able to compete in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament tonight
04:07 because of an injury in Japan.
04:09 - Yeah, Tony, this certainly isn't the way I wanted to return to Collision.
04:13 - Right.
04:14 - But the only thing I--
04:15 - "Collision," she says.
04:16 - Oh, my goodness.
04:17 - You know what, Willow?
04:19 You have single-handedly ruined my first victory on this magnificent show.
04:23 I was injured just getting to Regina, Canada.
04:26 Three flights in coach.
04:29 You just didn't want to take another L to the forever Ring of Honor champion.
04:33 Today might be crummy, but I'm gonna do what I do best,
04:36 put my smile back on.
04:37 Bram Page, I still want this to happen.
04:40 And I plan on winning the entire Owen Hart Foundation tournament.
04:43 Maybe, uh, take a stab at this shiny, beautiful thing around your shoulder
04:46 over there.
04:47 - Ooh.
04:48 - You can't even get clear tonight.
04:50 What makes you think that you're even good enough?
04:52 Sure, if you miraculously beat me, I'll entertain that.
04:57 - Best of luck, Willow.
04:58 - Appreciate it, Tony.
05:00 - Ring of Honor women's champion of all time,
05:02 Athena Chase on the amiable Nightingale.
05:05 - Julia Haas.
05:07 - 23 wins.
05:09 - As Hart atop the middle rope.
05:13 - And a heavy favorite tonight.
05:17 - Hey, last look.
05:18 Nice self.
05:19 - Second-generation athlete, Colin Oboetia,
05:22 last week asking for his possession, wants it back.
05:26 Zandrati appeared to be anything.
05:30 - Eliminating from Calgary.
05:32 - Very much in control of things here.
05:35 - Tonight, but we're basically postponing the match six days.
05:39 - Nightingale, just Friday on Bram Page.
05:41 - And he's running this.
05:42 - A quick tap out.
05:44 - Will have a smile on his face.
05:46 Gonna be happy.
05:47 - 20 more.
05:48 - I want to get your reaction, but also,
05:50 what exactly does your mask mean to you?
05:52 - Look at me.
05:54 I am a businessman.
05:57 I hide behind my mask.
06:00 I am not a coward like you.
06:03 My mask is everything to me.
06:07 It's about my family, about my country,
06:11 about all Latin people.
06:14 When I have my mask on, I forgot the business.
06:19 Off.
06:21 It's time to play.
06:24 And you know.
06:26 - Back to you guys.
06:27 - Slowly, everybody can understand, even Malakai Black.
06:30 - Go, go, go!
06:33 - An Eliminator match.
06:34 - Certainly here on Collision,
06:35 they earned a fair and square tag team title opportunity.
06:39 - But now they've become the best of friends.
06:42 - F-T-I!
06:45 - Back to the great tag teams in history.
06:48 - But I want to make my case again.
06:50 They don't get another one as long as F-T-R are the champs.
06:54 - Could be. I don't know about that.
06:56 - I saw you jump out of your seat when Ricky stops.
06:59 - Yarn drag back to the center,
07:01 but the tag team champions right now.
07:04 - Roman Gladiators turn emperors.
07:07 - Hit cross.
07:11 - Look at that beautiful rope.
07:13 - And found victory again tonight.
07:16 Fireman carry takeover.
07:18 - Samoa Joe and Sam Pump.
07:20 - Ooh, maybe some mindfulness meditation lessons would help him.
07:25 - Oh!
07:26 - Both members are old.
07:28 - And there we go.
07:29 Best in fire, here we go.
07:32 - Sterio Germans.
07:34 - Another opportunity.
07:35 - He will not get a chance on the tag team title.
07:37 - That's things I don't care what you think, Kevin Kelly.
07:40 - And congratulations as well to Eddie Kingston.
07:43 - Watch this now.
07:45 - Man, oh man.
07:46 - Proud of him.
07:48 - The main event tonight, CM Pump.
07:51 - Joe Hudson.
07:53 - In his corner. Oh no.
07:55 - Oh!
07:56 - Get that to CM Pump.
07:57 - Oh!
07:58 - And now driving.
07:59 - Boom!
08:00 - Yeah!
08:01 - Oh!
08:02 - Steadies the arms, the legs.
08:03 - Japan got to know each other when they were both part of the--
08:06 - Robinson, Jay White looking to get victory.
08:10 - The moonwalk applies.
08:11 - Holwood.
08:12 - Oh, come on!
08:14 - Take advantage of Holwood.
08:16 - Oh!
08:18 - This could be it.
08:20 - Oh!
08:21 - Back into the corner.
08:22 - And that might--
08:25 - Here comes Jutes.
08:27 - Trying to prevent the tag.
08:29 - Trying to make the tag.
08:31 - No clothesline on Jay White.
08:33 - Gold has to win.
08:35 - No more title opportunities.
08:37 - He needs to get the tag.
08:39 - He does.
08:40 - Flurry of offense.
08:42 - Oh!
08:44 - Oh, come on!
08:45 - What a nice escape, loud from wide.
08:47 - German suplex.
08:48 - Oh!
08:49 - Oh, there he is, the Freakbuster English.
08:51 - Oh!
08:52 - Oh!
08:54 - Will this be the glory?
08:57 - Tee!
08:58 - Oh!
08:59 - Oh!
09:00 - Is that your wife?
09:01 - Wow!
09:04 - As Cash Wheeler gets--
09:06 - Oh!
09:07 - Sleeper suplex, Cash Wheeler on his head.
09:09 - That's Harwood there to save his partner.
09:11 - Oh, big--
09:13 - Oh!
09:14 - Cash up, tag, there was a tag.
09:17 - Boom!
09:18 - Tee!
09:19 - Oh!
09:20 - Get it!
09:21 - What a match point, two!
09:23 - Five shot in.
09:26 - Oh, and no!
09:30 - Oh, and collide.
09:31 - Irunagi stuffs him.
09:33 - Rebound, powerbomb.
09:35 - Oh!
09:36 - Oh!
09:39 - Right!
09:41 - Oh!
09:42 - Oh!
09:43 - He's done it!
09:44 - Caught, power slam.
09:46 - Got him!
09:48 - And he's rolling up who he thinks is right to juice,
09:51 taking advantage.
09:52 - Oh!
09:53 - Two, no, catch.
09:54 - He's done it!
09:55 - Got it!
09:56 - The number one contenders, AEW Tag Team Champions.
10:01 - Man awaits.
10:04 - Hell of a match, I know it turned out not the way you wanted it, man.
10:07 - Okay, you're interviewing the wrong guys.
10:09 - Winner, winner, chicken dinner right here.
10:11 - We're the best tag team of the night.
10:13 - I think we might have the right to call ourselves the best tag team in the world.
10:17 Why?
10:18 We just beat Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear.
10:21 - No fighting, we already did that, we already won.
10:23 - Twice now, twice now, the only thing sweeter than taking that gold at your own game.
10:28 Two out of three fools for those championships.
10:30 Next week, you got it.
10:32 You're the AEW World Tag Team Champions, you got it.
10:34 - Put it there.
10:35 - Put it there.
10:36 - That's it.
10:37 - That's it, here we go.
10:38 - Here's Scottie Smurf, y'all be able to find the real reason he is a Scorpio.
10:44 - Yeah!
10:46 - Scorpio Sky, the only man to hold both of these AEW Tag Team titles.
10:50 - Chris Jericho by surprise.
10:53 - Got a good record.
10:57 Scorpio Sky's been out of in-ring competition for quite a while.
11:01 - Advantage to the veteran Scorpio Sky.
11:04 - Gold right.
11:05 - Championship game.
11:07 - Gold with victory.
11:09 - Sky there, he looked to throw a punch.
11:10 - Boom, boom.
11:11 - Deader off.
11:13 - Combination offense.
11:15 See it live, at the Saddle Dome.
11:18 The legendary Sky.
11:21 - Adjustment for Andretti.
11:22 - And here comes Andretti now.
11:24 - Oh, but he will not be denied.
11:30 - TKO.
11:32 - Is a winner.
11:34 - And it's returned to AEW.
11:36 - Every journey begins with one step.
11:38 That's your class act.
11:42 Oh, baby, it is time to take a look.
11:45 - The winner of our main event, CM Punk versus Samoa Joe.
11:49 - Any bigger than this in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Semifinals.
11:54 - Samoa Joe!
12:02 - Oh, what an atmosphere.
12:05 - And here's a punch.
12:13 - CM Punk!
12:17 - CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
12:29 - CM Punk.
12:31 - No question about it, Samoa Joe went into the side to see.
12:34 - Big swing and a miss.
12:36 - Let's be honest, Pro Titles, that confidence is going to be a factor.
12:39 - Punk's second rope, top rope, nobody home.
12:42 - Oh, my God, brutal.
12:52 - The sting, the blast, and that's the sting of the riot.
12:57 - Shinjiro Tani, our prayers go out to him, the boot wash.
13:01 - Punk has no end.
13:03 - The damage.
13:06 - They could be showing signs of tiredness, perhaps.
13:09 - Oh, gotta protect his career.
13:12 - Fentanyl in the match.
13:25 - Here he comes.
13:27 - Pulling for it and getting it.
13:29 - Oh, got it right.
13:31 - Uh-oh.
13:33 - He likes the way the hand placement of Joe is.
13:35 - Journey to get to the ropes and oh.
13:37 - To do it.
13:39 - To he know.
13:43 - At the beginning of the night, it was CM Punk who said this was all about--
13:47 - Oh!
13:49 - Neck breaker.
13:52 - Joe's on the escape.
13:54 - Oh, two in the rope.
13:56 - Three.
13:57 - He got it.
13:58 - CM Punk.
14:01 - Was there a part of CM Punk that he thought he would never be able to beat?
14:06 - Oh, no.
14:14 - Oh, come on.
14:15 - But he's got to get in there and save Punk.
14:18 - Son of a bitch.
14:23 - Come on, man.
14:25 Come on.
14:27 - His attention to winning.
14:34 - And it all goes down next week.
14:38 - Ricky Starks versus CM Punk for the Owen Hart Tournament Trophy.
14:43 - Look at me.
