AEW Collision
Feb. 3, 2024
Taz and Pat McAfee are this week’s announcers on Collision.
Britt Baker starts the show off in the ring. She says that tonight, she has the chance to take the next step toward being a top attraction in AEW. Tonight’s match against Tay Melo also gives her the chance to close the book on Tay Melo. They’ve gotten in each other’s way for months now, and Baker is ready to Stomp through Melo and never look back.

Match 2 - Jeff Cobb (12-9) vs. Carlito (2-0)
Cobb wins in 10 minutes with the Tour of the Islands, following a great back-and-forth match. Cobb kicked out of the Backstabber before hitting the Tour of the Islands. Following the match, he undid a turnbuckle pad and moved to smash Carlito’s face in it, but Matt Riddle made his return by running out and attacking Cobb! The two exchanged punches, and Riddle hit a springboard tornado DDT before Cobb slid out of the ring.
Riddle grabbed the mic and said he’s back to take care of business, bro, and he’s also in the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match!

After the break, McAfee recounts Riddle’s career with AEW, from contending for the World Championship to forming the Chosen Bros with Cobb, their championship success and Cobb’s eventual turn and brutal attack last November. Riddle hasn’t been seen since.

Match 3 - Jon Moxley and Wardlow vs. Scotty Flamingo and Jake Hager
Prior to the match, Dean Malenko says that he injured his back last week while golfing, so he can’t wrestle tonight. Hager can in his place.
Flamingo nearly gets the win following a DDT on Mox, but Wardlow breaks it up. Wardlow secures the win for his team following a Powerbomb on Hager at 9:12.
Malenko attacks immediately afterward with a chair. Mox decides not to intervene and walks off, as Hager and Malenko beat on Wardlow. Malenko locks in the Texas Cloverleaf…but Wardlow eventually powers out, and Malenko rolls quickly out of the ring, and he and Hager rush to the back as Wardlow stares after them, seething.
