A quick word from the featured players of tonight’s Collision brings us to the intro, reminding us that Saturday night’s alright for fightin’ as pyro welcomes us to Scotiabank Saddleome! We head to the ring for our opening contest, where Two Out Of Three Falls will determine who leaves Calgary with the AEW World Tag Team Championship!
Out first are the challengers, Bullet Club Gold of Jay White and Juice Robinson, as we get a replay of the Eliminator match that earned the duo their shot at the titles. Out next are the champs as FTR head to the ring, looking to bounce back from their non-title loss last week before this match gets underway!
AEW World Championship (2 Out Of 3 Falls Match)
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) defends against Bullet Club Gold (Jay White and Juice Robinson)
The two teams stare each other down to start things off, the ref working hard to get one in and one out on each side as Juice and Wheeler shove each other. Eventually we start off with Dax and Jay, circling the mat before Jay rolls out of the ring to take a breather…only for Cash to come running at him, sending the Switchblade scurrying! Jay returns to the ring as he and Dax go at it, until Dax slides out of the ring to take a lap on the outside with a smile.
Dax is back in the ring now as Jay looks for a test of strength…but it’s a ruse as he taunts Harwood, before sending him into the ring, only for Dax to hit a shoulder tackle and a small package for a nearfall! Dax with a side headlock as Jay fights to his feet, sending Dax to the ropes and hitting a hip toss and an arm drag to get in control.

Dax gets out and starts turning things around, hitting a backbreaker on the Switchblade before going into an abdominal stretch! Robinson tries to intervene as Dax grabs the top rope for leverage, something Robinson tries to call out to no avail.

Jay’s control of the match is starting to slip as Harwood catches him with a clothesline, but both men are down on the canvas as the ref starts a count!
Both men are struggling to move…until Harwood rolls up White for a nearfall! This gets followed up by a rollup by White for a nearfall, and Wheeler gets a tag made…only for a Shatter Machine to get stopped by BC Gold, as White rolls Cash up after a Blade Runner for the pin and the first fall in the match!
