AEW Collision
A pre-tape Tony Khan opens the show explaining the decision to fire CM Punk. He explains that until last Sunday - he had never felt in danger at a wrestling show.
The recommendation was made by a unanimous decision from an external committee.
He reiterates how great this week is for AEW, how great All In was and how great All Out will be.
After losing their shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships, Adam Cole and MJF are left in the ring.
MJF blames himself for losing the match as he ate the pinfall but Cole states 'We lost, not just you'. Cole is heard saying he loves Max and that it's okay as he's the World Champion. Cole then gets the crowd to lead an applause before MJF teases hitting Cole with the World Title as his back is turned.
Cole then holds his arms up, waiting for Max to hit him. Max throws the title away and can't do it. The two wrestlers then embrace in a hug as the show ends.
FRIENDSHIP WINS!
Now that we're back. Very curious to hear what everyone here's reactions to Collision was. In other places, folks mentioned that it felt very different to Dynamite, but not really qualified what that meant. Is it more than a palate swap, different commentators, and a few returning faces?
Christian Cage is interviewed by Tony Schiavone with his daughter. Christian says he's brought his daughter to TV as he's a role model; more than Darby is to Nick Wayne.
Christian's daughter than asks to hold the TNT Championship but Christian questions if she won the title? No? Then you don't get to hold the belt.
He then tells her to leave and find her mother.

Welcome to the AEW Collision live thread, right here every Saturday on Wreddit!
A mod will (hopefully) pin a match card at the top of the thread. Please be civil, have fun and enjoy the show!
For those who have asked what happened that CM Punk was not announced for AEW Collision today, the rumor making the rounds is that Punk and AEW are again at odds currently, now over the status of the return of Ace Steel. In asking around, there appears to be something to that situation.
The belief among those we've spoken with is that Steel was expected to return in conjunction with Punk next month, working behind the scenes.
However, the story making the way around AEW backstage today at Dynamite is that a decision was made that Steel would not be working backstage at the actual Collision tapings.
As you might imagine, that left Punk and AEW on opposite sides of the discussion, which in turn led to Punk being removed from all promotional material released for the AEW Collision series today.
One person believed MJF replaced Punk in the promotional graphic for the series, but we haven't been able to confirm that with multiple sources.
We do know that Impact Wrestling sources noted today they had interest in bringing Ace Steel in for a tryout and when the invitation was passed on several weeks ago, their belief was that meant he was AEW or WWE-bound. So the timing fits in that a return was on the table for Steel.
Time will tell if the two sides can work things out in advance of the 6/17 premiere of the series, but Warner Bros. Discovery issued a statement to today stating Punk was "not affiliated" with Collision.
As of this afternoon, based on what we are hearing, that would be correct.
Whether anything changes remains to be seen.
There are a few weeks until the Collision debut, so stay tuned.
