Here’s a place to check results and comment along with the new episode of AEW Collision — and Rampage, airing live tonight (April 27) after TNT’s coverage of the NXT Playoffs at approximately 8:30 pm ET on TNT.
The shows come our way from AEW’s home base: Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida and will deliver more fallout from April 21’s Dynasty PPV and Wednesday’s eventful Dynamite.
Collision will feature Swerve Strickland’s first interview since winning the AEW World title from Samoa Joe last weekend. Bullet Club Gold will defend the new Unified Trios championship against Top Flight & Action Andretti, which 2⁄3 of the team the Bang Bang Gang beat to unify those belts — The Acclaimed — will face the debuting Grizzled Young Veterans in two-on-two action. We’ll also get Timeless Toni Storm vs. Anna Jay.
Then immediately after that on Rampage, it’ll be Chuck Taylor vs. Trent Beretta in a Parking Lot Fight, and Deonna Purrazzo vs. Thunder Rosa.
Come right back here at 8 pm ET when the Collision (and Rampage) live blog kicks off once the show starts on TNT. It will be below this line here.
Enjoy the show!
AEW COLLISION & RAMPAGE RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR APRIL 27
Coming in and it’s a video showing Swerve winning the title. He’s here as promised to speak for the first time as the AEW champion.
Prince Nana introduces him as the new champion, and one hell of a wrestler before ceding the floor. Fans shower him with a “thank you, Swerve” chant. He says it’s been a hell of a week, with a new TBS champion in Willow Nightingale, Adam Cole can walk, Adam Copeland got misted by House of Black, and then Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay tore the house down. Then, of course, Jack Perry returned and struck Tony Khan, the CEO, the Founder, the man who put all his faith in Swerve. On top of that, the EVPs came down and put him down with a Piledriver. There’s no telling when we’re going to see Khan in healthy conditions again.
Swerve says he’s done some horrible things in the industry and in AEW but something about four elite athletes coming down and beating up a non-fighter is a bitch move.
The fans chant “bitch move” at that.
Time to get to business, though. The most important thing that happened this week was Swerve winning the title at Dynasty. It’s a pet peeve of his that people walk around calling themselves the best in the world but the real best in the world is whoever is holding that championship and that would be him.
His daughter told him the night he won the title that she feels like she doesn’t know him. It hit him hard. He’s had to sacrifice so much for this. He can’t make up for lost time but what he can do is set a good example by blazing a trail as AEW champion and make sure this was all worth it.
AEW has set people in front of him and he’s knocked them all down. Kyle Fletcher was just one this past week. And this week he’s in a giving mood and wants to do an open challenge with the AEW championship on the line. But only for someone who really wants to fight. We’re entering a new era, the Dynasty Era, and the lead of that dynasty will be Swerve.
Claudio Castagnoli’s music hits the loud speakers. He’s in a suit, so maybe not answering the challenge just yet?
Claudio simply says “you’re on.”
Swerve says “I guess I’ll be seeing you tonight in whose house?!?” Claudio rips the mic away and says “it’s gonna be mine.”
There you go, a title match for later on.
After a recap of The Elite and Jack Perry attacking Tony Khan, Tony Schiavone tells us he suffered multiple head and neck injuries and he has not been cleared to travel, so he won’t be on the road with AEW. However, he’ll be able to continue running the company from Jacksonville, which is what he’ll be doing.
Nigel wonders what that could mean for the shows out on the road, and if the EVPs will be running things as they see fit in Khan’s absence. Schiavone everyone again that Khan will be the one running things.
Bang Bang Gang vs. Top Flight & Action Andretti: This was for the united trios championship. This was your usual six-man tag, with the babyfaces getting their comeback spots and Andretti playing the role of hot tag. The heels would always get back to control while they continued teasing out a title change. In the end, Jay White hit the Blade Runner for the pin on Andretti to retain the titles.
Bang Bang Gang def. Top Flight & Action Andretti via pinfall
Tony Schiavone responded to the pin by saying “The question is who can dethrone these guys in trios action?”
House of Black video. Brody King says the match at Dynasty went exactly how they hoped it would, and he now has multiple wins over the TNT champion.
Malakai Black says they accept the Cope Open. But who will wrestle? It could be any of the three.
Buddy Matthews says on May 1 in Winnipeg Copeland will find out when the rest of the world will find out.
