All Elite Wrestling taped the August 16th episode of its Saturday night show, AEW Collision, on Thursday from the Brady Music Center in Cincinnati. The show featured storyline developments on the road to the Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
AEW Women’s Division Heats Up
According to spoilers from the taping, courtesy of Sports Illustrated, the show featured an in-ring promo from former AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm. Her promo was interrupted by a two-on-one attack from the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, and her protegé, Billie Starkz. The save was made by Mina Shirakawa, who is currently feuding with Athena over the ROH title.
FTR Attacks Brodido Ahead of Tournament Final
In another major angle, FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) ambushed their opponents for the upcoming Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament final, Brodido. The attack saw FTR steal Bandido’s mask backstage, leading to Brody King chasing them to the ring. Stokely Hathaway then threw powder in King’s face, allowing FTR to lay him out with a Shatter Machine.
Other results from the taping saw Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta defeat JetSpeed, Juice Robinson defeat Bryan Keith, and Kris Statlander win a four-way match that devolved into a brawl involving multiple women from the roster.
