AEW Collision Results (April 5, 2025)

AEW Collision was taped following Wednesday's Dynamite at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois. The commentary team for the night consisted of Tony Schiavone and Don Callis, with Callis on the desk for the entire show due to Nigel McGuinness being absent.

The action kicked off with Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita, accompanied by Don Callis, taking on Powerhouse Hobbs and Tomohiro Ishii, who had Rocky Romero in their corner.

The match opened with Takeshita and Ishii locking horns in a physical exchange. They charged at each other with brute force, exchanging strikes and shoulder blocks that knocked each other to the mat. It was a back-and-forth battle of strength until both hit the canvas simultaneously.

Fletcher and Hobbs tagged in next. Fletcher forced Hobbs into the corner before backing off with a smug grin, only for Hobbs to return the favor. Fletcher managed a kick to the face and began a corner beatdown, attempting a DDT that Hobbs easily blocked. Hobbs retaliated with heavy punches before tagging in Ishii.

Hobbs sent Fletcher crashing with a massive shoulder block. As Fletcher rebounded with a scoop slam, Rocky Romero tripped him from ringside, triggering chaos. All four men began brawling, resulting in Hobbs being knocked outside while Ishii ate a double shoulder tackle before the show went to picture-in-picture.

Back from the break, Ishii had taken the brunt of the offense and was isolated by Fletcher and Takeshita. However, Ishii fought back and tossed Fletcher out of the ring, managing a suplex and crawling for the hot tag. Hobbs came in and cleared house, ramming into both opponents in opposing corners and delivering a sidewalk slam.

Takeshita tried to mount a comeback with an elbow and eventually hit a German suplex. Hobbs fired back with a spinebuster and brought Ishii back into the action. Ishii and Fletcher clashed hard with a flurry of suplexes and strikes. Fletcher stunned Ishii with a tombstone piledriver followed by the Protodriver for the victory.

Nick brushed them off, saying, “If I do take out Fox, it will be my choice.” Lio fired back, “You need Daddy’s permission to come out and play.”

Max Caster arrived for his scheduled match and made his usual jab-filled entrance, including a shot at an unnamed former partner and the crowd itself.

Max Caster vs. Mark Briscoe

Cru (Action Andretti and Lio Rush) vs. Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) w/Leila Grey

Top Flight jumped Cru before the bell, attacking them on the floor and maintaining the momentum once the match officially started. Quick tags and precision offense kept Cru on the defensive. The pace escalated with aerial exchanges, and by the time we returned from the picture-in-picture break, all four men were trading shots in the ring.

Dante Martin executed a surprise rollup on Andretti for the three count.

Winners: Top Flight

Cru attacked Top Flight post-match. AR Fox ran in for the save, only to be blindsided by Nick Wayne, who hit Wayne’s World and stood tall with The Cru.

Renee Paquette hosted a tense sit-down between Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia. Cole, flanked by Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly, accused Garcia of not being ready for the spotlight. Garcia, backed by Matt Menard, responded, “When I beat you at Dynasty, that’s your last chance.” After sending everyone out of the room, Cole coldly told Garcia he was not ready to lead, prompting Garcia to walk out.

Cash Wheeler vs. Pac

The singles match started evenly with mat wrestling and quick counters. Pac gradually took over with targeted kicks and ground-based offense. After taking the fight outside and hitting a moonsault from the second rope, Pac remained dominant through the break.

Cash mounted a comeback with shoulder tackles, a crossbody, and a power slam for near falls. As both men wore down, Pac hit a German suplex, but Cash answered with a piledriver for two.

As chaos broke out around the ring—Claudio and Cope brawling, Yuta joining in—Cash hit a piledriver on Yuta. But the distraction allowed Pac to strike Cash with the bell hammer and steal the win with a crucifix pin.

Winner: Speedball Mike Bailey
