00:00No question, the Ring of Honor World Champion is ready for a battle-filled week!
00:07With blood and guts!
00:09And, of course, the world title match coming up on Friday!
00:15The ball is contested in a lumberjack match!
00:18Scheduled for one fall!
00:20It should be perfect!
00:21From the graveyards of Tijuana, Mexico...
00:25La Mera Mera...
00:27Thunder Rosa!
00:30And as Thunder Rosa makes her way to the ring,
00:33we will be remiss if we don't comment on what we saw before the ring.
00:38Is that not a feel-good moment
00:40where Kevin Bond-Erik, Dusty Rhodes, Marshall and Ross, the Bond-Eriks,
00:45all together, coming together seemingly in combined forces,
00:50having each other's back, here in the state of Texas?
00:54The legacy and the history of professional wrestling reunited once more.
01:00I'm sure Big Dust will have a big smile on his face, looking down.
01:11From Hackett Town, New Jersey...
01:14The Virtuosa...
01:16Diana...
01:18Peraza!
01:21And, of course, the very talented Diana Peraza,
01:24the Virtuosa, walking into the ring in this lumberjack match
01:28against a young lady who is very popular here in the state of Texas.
01:32Thunder Rosa was right in San Antonio.
01:34Thunder Rosa won her world title match.
01:37There you see members of the lumberjacks.
01:41Lady Frost...
01:44There, you see them all around the ring.
01:46We'll try to identify them as best we can.
01:49Rachel Ellering was there as well.
01:52And, of course, once a lady goes outside of the ring,
01:55she'll be thrown back in.
01:57And it's all because every time Thunder Rosa rolls in the ring
02:02to get back at Diana Peraza, she runs.
02:06A tactical retreat is what I would call it, certainly.
02:10It has been a storied and brutal conflict between these two competitors.
02:16They faced off a number of times.
02:19And every time we've been able to get a real decisive victory.
02:24There she goes.
02:26That being Peraza.
02:28And now they're telling her, get back in the ring.
02:30Whoa.
02:32How about that?
02:34Shafir on the outside.
02:36You don't want to mess with her.
02:37Marina moved everybody back.
02:40Great dropkick that time by the former women's world champion.
02:43Mera, Mera, the best of the best.
02:47Just a senton blast that time.
02:49One, two, and a two-count here.
02:52This is the seventh Lumberjack match in AEW history,
02:55second ever of the women's division.
02:58And right now, again, well, you see Abaddon on the outside.
03:05Tyra Valkyrie as well.
03:06Yeah.
03:10Layla Hirsch out there.
03:11Hard to not be distracted.
03:13Good thing.
03:15Rick Baker's not out there.
03:17Otherwise you'd be down at ringside yourself, wouldn't you?
03:19Fawning all over her.
03:21In the middle row.
03:22Crossbody.
03:23One.
03:24And a one-count that time.
03:26As the virtuosa comes out of it.
03:31Lumberjacks not only around the ring, but pounding the ring apron.
03:36As you can hear, trying to convince their favorites to continue on.
03:42And tough break here for Thunder Rosa, trying to get back in the ring.
03:48She was greeted by the virtuosa and face-planted that time.
03:52This time, it's the Lumberjacks or is that Lumberjills on the outside
03:57that prevented Thunder Rosa getting some rest out there?
04:01And now, again, the Lumberjacks' job is once they hit the floor to roll
04:07whomever back in the ring.
04:09But the virtuosa now relentless here.
04:11There we go.
04:14Watch out.
04:15Virtuosa baseball slide missed out of the way.
04:18And now the fight goes on.
04:20What was that?
04:21There was no need for that.
04:22That was Rachel Ulrich.
04:25Rachel had enough.
04:27And she rolls her in.
04:29Oh, what?
04:30Turn around.
04:32Fair play there.
04:35This one is at boiling point.
04:39Slapped to the face by the virtuosa.
04:41They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
04:44We've got 20 out there right now.
04:46We've got a fight in the ring.
04:47And it's seemingly a little strong going on on the outside, as you can see.
04:51Look at the women on the outside.
04:52Watch out.
04:55The superplex took everybody down.
05:00Fans, this match incredibly continues in picture-in-picture.
05:08What a sight.
05:10What a sight.
05:13Don't get too excited, Tony.
05:15When you do, you start saying things you regret.
05:20Here it is again, Nigel.
05:22Yes, indeed.
05:23It's unbelievable taking down everyone on the outside.
05:25And if they want to hit, they try to get out of the way to protect themselves.
05:30Billy Stark's on the outside.
05:33Red Velvet out there.
05:37And again, there's Lumberjack.
05:38The Lumberjack's got to regroup here and go around the ring
05:42and center the ring again.
05:45Certainly a lot of depth in the women's division.
05:48Absolutely.
05:49That's a great point, Nigel.
05:50A lot of depth in the women's division.
05:52Atop the mountain, Toni Storm for the time being the AEW Women's Champion.
05:58But is it finally coming home?
06:01Will Mariah May wear the crown?
06:04Didn't take you long, did it, to turn on Toni Storm?
06:07Half of the day, to be honest with you.
06:11Yankee down on the arm, the shoulder this time.
06:14There you see our AEW World Trios Championship still in our sights
06:18coming up here later on tonight.
06:20During the AEW Summer Series 1.
06:23And the road, or the path, if you will, to all in London.
06:29You going to be there, Toni?
06:30Yes, I am.
06:31As a matter of fact, I'm going to come to your home.
06:34I don't have a home in England, Toni.
06:36You don't have a home in England anymore?
06:38No, I don't.
06:39What do you think I am, stupid?
06:42No coming.
06:44Top wrist lock.
06:47Thunder Rosa gets out of that with an arm whip down.
06:52Great move by Thunder Rosa to double stop.
06:56Cover.
06:57One, two.
07:01And a two count is Mike Posey, the referee, checking in on both ladies here
07:06in this women's lumberjack match as part of Collision Live here on TNT.
07:13Into the ropes.
07:15Big pump kick that time.
07:17And Thunder Rosa being wiped out here by Virtuosa.
07:25Virtuosa going to send her on the outside.
07:27So now the lumberjacks, wait a minute, they're supposed to bring her back in.
07:31That was fine when Rachel Ehring did it.
07:35And now the fight continues on the outside.
07:37Chaos was breaking around at ringside.
07:41One can only imagine back in the ring now trying to calm things down
07:44on the other side.
07:48This is really turning into a Pier 6 brawl, I believe is the term.
07:56Not totally fluent with American ideology.
08:02Either way now, the half.
08:05Straight jacket.
08:06There it is.
08:07Fully completed now.
08:09Boy, it just leaves so many openings there, doesn't it?
08:12You could stomp them in the gut, reach around.
08:24We are back live and we're on Collision.
08:26Tony Cervantes.
08:27Nigel McGuinness.
08:29Great crowd.
08:30So down here at the Esports Stadium.
08:33Lung blower that time.
08:34One, two.
08:37And a two count.
08:38Wow.
08:40Brutality that these matches have been between
08:43Barraza and Thunder Rosa has continued here tonight.
08:48We'll tell you, Valkyrie has been really involved in this match.
08:51So has Diamante on the outside.
08:54Pushing and shutting going on.
08:56Thunder Rosa going to fight.
08:57Trying to get out of there.
09:03Diamante went for it.
09:04And then Thunder Rosa fending her off that time.
09:10And Thunder Rosa, we talked about this rivalry.
09:12And we talked about this Texas native.
09:15And now she's firing up right now.
09:17Fiery offense from LaMera Mera.
09:22Her running drop kick.
09:24One of her trademark maneuvers.
09:28Look at the face of Thunder Rosa.
09:32The native of Tijuana.
09:35Pick up.
09:38Airplane spin.
09:42Death Valley driver.
09:44Could be it.
09:45Could be it.
09:46One, two.
09:47A two count.
09:49Look at that face.
09:51Thunder Rosa shocked.
09:53She didn't get a three count now.
09:55But now calling for it.
09:58What's she looking for, Tony?
10:01All the way.
10:04Thunder Rosa.
10:05She escapes.
10:06Rolled up one.
10:07Into the air ball.
10:09Cross arm breaker.
10:12Applied.
10:13Thunder Rosa trying to fight her off.
10:15One, two, no.
10:18Thunder Rosa's MMA experience coming into play there.
10:21Absolutely.
10:22Saving her.
10:24Glancing blow that time on the top of the head.
10:27Trying to run in with a left hand.
10:29What?
10:30A move.
10:31One, two, no.
10:33This match continues.
10:35What a night it's been right here at the Esports Stadium.
10:38What a night.

11:50Four on shots.
11:52By Thunder Rosso.
11:54And again, Diana Prazo has been working on that arm
11:57and been very successful.
11:59Tie a Valkyrie.
12:00Then Rachel Adler can get into a little shoving contest on the outside.
12:03Watch out.
12:06There they go again.
12:11Thunder Rosso wipes out everybody,
12:13including her opponent.
12:16And she goes to get her once again, Diana Prazo.
12:18This has been chaotic from start to finish.
12:21Two bodies driving into an entire crowd.
12:27Prazo, I don't know if she's trying to crawl away.
12:29Oh!
12:30Tie a Valkyrie sends Rachel Adler down with a lariat on the outside.
12:34Take that and party.
12:37With Tie a Valkyrie, she's got a temper.
12:39We've known that for quite a while.
12:42And here goes Thunder Rosso.
12:45Thunder Rosso.

13:05It's a turnbuckle handed over.
13:07Well, the official Mike Posey's turned away.
