Thursday night’s episode of AEW Collision kicked off with Jon Moxley looking to confront Darby Allin over his interference at AEW All In: Texas. Moxley was furious that Allin descended from the rafters during the Texas Deathmatch main event between Moxley and Hangman Page.
Earlier in the week on Dynamite, Allin had launched himself off a balcony onto Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta, escalating tensions with the Blackpool Combat Club.
On this week’s edition of AEW Collision, Moxley searched the arena for Allin, but the tables turned when Allin ambushed him from behind with a chloroform rag.
Later in the night, Allin dragged Moxley to a fire escape and attempted to throw him off just as a train passed below. Security intervened just in time, preventing a potentially deadly act.
From out of the darkness, @DarbyAllin ambushes @JonMoxley!

Dustin Rhodes brought back his classic WCW entrance theme, “The Natural,” on Thursday night’s episode of AEW Collision.
Rhodes originally used the theme during his first WCW run in the 1990s and had expressed interest in reclaiming it earlier this year. In February, he revealed he was working to acquire the rights to the iconic track. At the time, he said,
“I kind of just want to, I’ve come full circle and I want to be ‘The Natural.’ On my last match, I want my old theme from the WCW days. I’m trying to purchase the rights right now for it because it’s very memorable music,” he said at the time.
“They call him The Natural!” What a throwback from @DustinRhodes!

Kyle Fletcher captured the AEW TNT Championship on Thursday night’s episode of AEW Collision, defeating Dustin Rhodes in a street fight main event.
It was a blood-soaked battle, with Rhodes hitting a Canadian Destroyer through a table, donning a thumbtack-covered glove for the Iron Claw, and even pouring tacks down Fletcher’s tights before delivering a devastating Shattered Dreams.
DESTROYER OFF THE TOP AND THROUGH THE TABLE!
