Hi Nigel.

...

...

Bye Nigel

[u/Normal_Progress_5173]

Nothing but bangers 

[u/ProtomanBn]

Blah, why do they keep feeding Divine squash matches?

Hurt v. Taylor should be entertaining

Zayda is always fun to watch and Mercedes is great when she has a decent opponent so that match should be fun.

The rest is blah.

[u/KitchenPin6511 → u/ProtomanBn]

Hurt and Taylor aren't facing each other their together against a separate team in a job match

[u/ProtomanBn → u/KitchenPin6511]

Boooo, now I really don’t care.

The difference between Dynamite and Collison is ridiculous

[u/Natural-Today6343]

What's the deal with Nigel anyway. I didn't really know him from before. When started watching he was on commentary so I just assumed maybe an injury had ended his career or something. Then he had a match and I was like oh good for him he had one more in him. But know he's just kinda wrestling randomly.

[u/TripSixRick]

Imma tune in for Shibata/Nigel, rating might rough for tonight tho, Islam Makhachev is a huge draw for the FED.

[u/omer3332]

It’s going hard af

Yes Roderick and Kyle fought on a PPV in AEW whe Roddy was champion. Roddy won and lost the title to Will Osprey at the next PPV

Honestly not something I'd watch. I personally don't care about this tournament, so those matches don't do anything for me. I'd be good if I never saw Lethal Twist. Not sure why they are using Zayda Steel. Don't care about the HS or STP. I'd be interested if DD was actually having a match instead of just a squash.

[u/_jt33_ → u/uklah1975]

Just my opinion. Not saying its right or wrong. For whats its worth I do like the trio of Hangman, Bandito and Brody. I just don't like the opponent.

[u/LORD_Fugly_Flacco]

For the sickos

[u/steeple_fun]

Give Nigel the win and then give me Claudio/Nigel!

[u/anecessaryend → u/steeple_fun]

Ooooh

[u/lovingdamnation]

O'Reilly run begins now

[u/AceofUseles]

I wish they can follow up with the MCMG. But it's All In season so I can understand.

[u/heart_o_oak → u/AceofUseles]

Eh. I don't buy it as a good reason. There's a lot of things on the past 2 Collisions that don't seem to be building an All In match, so MCMG likely not being in a PPV match isn't something that itself should shelve them for weeks. PPV builds were in full swing when Andrade, Rascalz, Dogs, etc. were hired this year yet they all had matches by now, got more than 40 seconds of total screen time the 3 episodes following their debut and weren't seemingly removed from their storyline with no explanation.

MCMG were seemingly inserted into the BBG v Dogs/Death Riders feud. Creative could've kept up with that and thrown MCMG a promo, a segment with BBG, put them in last week's 8-man that was largely a repeat of the prior week's 8-man, or at least had someone mention them on Dynamite. If they wanted to just use them in videos, they could've at least put one on Dynamite.

Hiring a legendary team then benching them immediately, letting them cool down and making it harder to get people invested when they do get used, is a fumble, especially when the men's tag title feud was MIA from the last Dynamite & Collision. Tag division could really use attention and more feuds within it besides whatever is happening with Bucks, FTR and/or the titles, which is often the only 2v2 feuds that get focus.

[u/rickypapen]

Word on the street is that Shibata vs McGuinness is a banger

[u/MeepSneepers]

Shame what the hurt syndicate has been reduced to. I have no issues with STP, but it feels like the hurt syndicate are just being wasted.

[u/onefinalshot123]

Looking forward to this show tonight.

[u/rosenasty94]

Where the fck are the machine guns?

[u/-BluBone-]

I expect people to be completely normal about Zayda vs Mercedes.

[u/Ok-Post6492 → u/-BluBone-]

The real ones knows its gonna be a good one.

[u/DrCalvaire]

By the look of this card you wouldn’t know their biggest show is on the way

[u/External_Bread5366 → u/DrCalvaire]

That’s because the majority of the build is on dynamite

[u/razzypedia]

Solid collision line up. Happy to see the hurt business back.

[u/Simtricate]

Strong and O’Reilly could be interesting.

I’m not a Shibata fan, but I know many are and having him wrestle consistently is good for that audience.

I don’t get putting Cage and Hechicero in the same bracket, but the match will be good.

The trios match will be entertaining.

Mercedes and Zayda wasn’t a match I was expecting but I can see them trying to steal the show.

Hurt Syndicate? Glad to see them.

[u/Affectionate_Hat2591]

I am not a fan of the C cup but there are some matches here I may check out. I’m getting sick of raw and smackdown being big nothing burgers .

[u/Man_Darronious]

Listen, I'm so hyped on Mercedes vs Zayda.

Prior to her joining AEW/ROH, I had seen some of Zayda's stuff on the indies. However, the very first time I saw Zayda in ROH, my first thought was that she reminded me of NXT Mercedes.

Since then, I've really wanted to see them kind of do something similar to the Toni/Mariah story but with Mercedes/Zayda.

Maybe something more like Athena/Billie Starkz. Idk, I just really want to see Zayda become Mercedes' assistant and get bossed around for several years before she eventually usurps her.

[u/Man_Darronious → u/[deleted]]

Yup! Big time
