Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of AEW Collision on February 8.
Here's a look at what AEW advertised for Saturday's show:
Let's take a look at everything that happened on this week's show.
Undisputed Kingdom vs. Shane Taylor Promotions vs. Former JAS Members
- Daddy Magic being so over while working minimal matches is a testament to his character work.
- It's awesome to see Parker back in action after an extended absence.
- Bravo and Dean are such a fun tag team. They can do so many great double-team spots.

Dynamite opened with Jon Moxley giving a promo about why he will never give Adam Copeland a title shot before we went to the entrances for the three-way trios bout.
Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong were out first, followed by Shane Taylor, Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo. Garcia, Parker and Daddy Magic were out last.
Taylor and Roddy started the bout with an exchange of strikes. The leader of STP was cornered by KOR and Roddy but he hit a double clothesline to regain control.
Garcia's team and the UK worked together a few times against STP, but they didn't hesitate to fight each other when they were the legal men.
This was a chaotic match with a lot of teamwork spots. It never felt like any team had a significant advantage, so it genuinely felt unpredictable at times, which is always welcome in pro wrestling.
This was entertaining from start to finish, even if it was sometimes hard to follow who was legal and who wasn't. Cole ended up pinning Bravo for the win, but he looked like he was more focused on Garcia after the match.
Wheeler Yuta, Pac and Claudio Castagnoli showed up with the trios titles for the first time in several weeks to attack everyone who was in the match.
Result: Undisputed Kingdom won
Grade: B+
Notable Moments and Observations
Bandido vs. Bryan Keith, LFI Squash
- Keith is back in his high-waisted pants and all is right in the world.
- Keith and Bandido would be a fun tag team together.
- Bandido almost slipped when he went for a springboard crossbody.
- The dual they did in the middle of the match with running kicks was a great moment.

Keith took control by throwing his poncho at Bandido as the match began, but the luchador was quick to recover and take control.
The Bounty Hunter hit a nice kick to the face to put himself in the driver's seat as the show went to a break.
We returned to see Bandido beginning to make a comeback. He used his one-armed press slam to get a big pop from the crowd as he was setting up to finish off his opponent.
While this match had a lot of fun moments, a couple of minor mistakes stuck out, especially a close call on the top rope with Bandido.
Keith did an excellent job selling for the returning Bandido, especially when he hit his finisher to get the win.
Result: Bandido defeated Keith
Grade: B
The next match saw Rush, Dralistico and Beast Mortos take on a few local talents in a trios bout. This was quick and ended with LFI scoring an easy victory.
Result: LFI won
Grade: Incomplete
Notable Moments and Observations
Dustin Rhodes Squash, Thunder Rosa vs. Penelope Ford
- Hologram made his return to save Komander from LFI.
- Cameron is really good at mixing her real singing ability with her comedic skills.
- Rosa was being hilarious during the backstage segment.
- Ford didn't even come close to hitting the ring post when she was supposed to. The announcers tried to cover for it, but it was way too obvious.
- Ford licked some of Rosa's paint off her face.

Harley Cameron and her Mercedes puppet were out to perform a song in the next segment. The TBS champion showed up and Cameron kept singing at her, which just made her more upset.
Harley ended up knocking Mercedes out of the ring by hitting her with the mic. The crowd was on Cameron's side as the champ agreed to defend the TBS title against her in Australia.
Dustin Rhodes took on a young competitor named Izzy James in a match that defines what a squash match is. He hit two moves and then got the win.
Result: Rhodes won
Grade: Incomplete
Next up was a singles match between Ford and Rosa. Before the match, Rosa had a run-in with Megan Bayne backstage.
They seemed like an even match for each other until Rosa hit a trio of arm drags to take control. She got the Texas crowd behind her with some taunting, but Ford took control with a double-knee driver on the apron.
We returned from a break to see Ford maintaining control, but La Mera Mera eventually began to build some momentum.
This match had more good than bad, but the few bad things were too obvious to hide. Ford and Rosa are both talented athletes, but you can see a clear difference between them when it comes to wrestling experience. Rosa picked up a win with the Tiajuana Bomb.
Bayne came to the ring, but it was Ford who ended up taking La Mera Mera down. This made her easy prey for Bayne to hit her version of an F-5.
Result: Rosa defeated Ford
Grade: C+
Notable Moments and Observations
Mariah May Exhibition, Kyle Fletcher vs. Mark Briscoe
- The Don Callis Family was shown beating up some jobbers backstage. Tony Schiavone accidentally called Lancer Archer by Lance Storm's name.
- Briscoe set up a table for no reason other than it needed to be there later. He had no plan for it when he did it.
- Briscoe was busted open before the break.

Mariah decimated her opponent in a squash match. This was even shorter than the one with Rhodes from earlier. She dressed her opponent up like Toni Storm to add insult to injury. Luther came out and distracted May long enough for the real Toni to replace the other woman in the ring and surprise her with an attack.
Result: May won
Grade: Incomplete
The main event for this week's show saw Fletcher take on Briscoe in a rematch from their C2 encounter.
The Protostar hit a running kick to take control right out of the gate. He stayed aggressive and beat down The Chicken in the corner.
We returned from a break to see a bloody Briscoe trying to get back to his feet. They traded punches until Briscoe turned Fletcher inside out with a clothesline.
Fletcher hit a low blow behind the ref's back followed by a brainbuster, but he couldn't get the pin. Briscoe put him through the table at ringside with a flying elbow, but he failed to get the win, too.
These two easily put on the best performance of the night. Everything they did looked good, and they did a great job progressing into more violent territory as the match progressed.
The conclusion came when Fletcher hit a brainbuster on the top turnbuckle.
Result: Fletcher defeated Briscoe
Grade: B+
Notable Moments and Observations
The Final Word

This week's Collision had three squash matches, which is at least two too many for any show, but it had plenty of good stuff to make up for it.
The opening trios bout was a fun bit of mayhem, Keith vs. Bandido was a great clash of gimmicks, and the main event stole the show.
However, Cameron's segment with Mercedes might be one of the biggest talking points coming out of this show because the Aussie was granted a title shot in her home country next week.
While this episode had some highlights, as a whole, it fell right in the middle of the pack. Trading the three squash segments for one solid match would have helped.
Grade: C+
