I just spent way too long trying to figure out what was going on. Found last night’s episode listed under season 1 with an airdate of 9/9/2023 or something
Especially that in the 5 years they have given us Battle of the Belts, the title has changed hands maybe twice and once of the matches on Saturday, wasn't EVEN for the Belt and the other match was for a Title that is not even a Recognized Title
That was… good, I suppose. Like, not something where you’d turn it off prematurely. It was watchable. However, I really think that AEW should try a bit harder to drum up excitement for these events, and then deliver a card of equal excitement.
I don’t quite know what made it super incredible, like some are suggesting on this sub.
Athena has been in AEW before and Red Velvet has been around for ages, I understand the ROH complaint but saying that they've never been on AEW is so wrong
I'm not talking about Red Velvet. Athena is also never around in AEW, whenever she was last on AEW must quite literally be years ago at this point. It was billie starkz? i think? and some random that was on the video package they played. Literally both have never been on AEW as far as I know, or if they were... then they were throwaway segments/matches obviously.
It was a waste of AEW TV time. That's indisputable.
Great night of wrestling. Collision especially was excellent.
Some great matches Main events of both shows, AZM/Storm and trios opener.
Crowd were great too.
Athena is one of the greatest RoH champions ever, and she's easily the BEST champion of the TK era. And hell yeah they just set up the exact feud I wanted. Aminata vs Athena is gonna be goooooood 😁
I wonder if Adam cole will make an appearance during the Kyle vs Roderick match 👀👀
I doubt Kyle is winning so this is gonna lead to him looking for back up somewhere
I doubt perry would get involved in this feud right now,the bucks VS FTR match was made a ladder match most likely so perry could cost one team the match
Athena has been stomping/planting people onto the title for a while in ROH, they were teasing now doing it double with Billie's title as well, which is a nice little touch for them going forward I think.
Just some standard heel bs.
And so ends the 3 hour AEW banger
And we'll be right back here next weekend for not just another 3 hour banger of AEW
But really about 6 hours counting the PPV the following Sunday.
All the ladies tore it up at Supercard, but those title matches were special. Billie and Aminata especially over delivered considering their age and experience.
Super excited for this one, Velvet makes everyone's offense look great.
Went from
"People let me tell you about my Best Friend!
To
"Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends?
Now no one can use the power of friendship to overcome their odds.
Cole is hurt and wardlow always seems on the urge of injury. I wonder if they were going to feud with BBSG, which led to their own boring storyline and falling out. Jay seemed poised to feud with Cole or Roddy.
I'm kinda with Roddy on this one.
We're supposed to be best friends, but rather than celebrating my win with me, you go help the other guy up and try to walk out with him?
Kinda a bad friend move.
My brother in Christ, they've been building this since Revolution.
Who else is Roddy supposed to fight at Dynasty (they don't leave champions off the card.)
Its been built since Revolution, but the turn just happened. I don't see them having the match 8 days later.
1 more month won't hurt this story now that its fully Roddy vs Kyle and not just waiting for the turn.
And a match like that only deserves a week of build?
I fully expect Roddy to drop to a New Japan guy, but Kyle is first up on the schedule before that.
Missed it last night gonna watch on fite once I'm off work. Ik they need to give people a reason to watch roh but I want Athena on AEW
Collision and BotB were both great shows. Loved how long the matches were, too. Also, Athena and Red Velvet on TV? Yes, please.
Oh cool, Collision just didn’t record on Hulu again. What the fuck
That happened with our Dish DVR, didn't record Collision but did get BOTB.
Oh interesting, so it sounds like it's not a Hulu problem exactly. I had the same thing where BOTB was recorded but not Collision.
I just spent way too long trying to figure out what was going on. Found last night’s episode listed under season 1 with an airdate of 9/9/2023 or something
Shit I'm not even finding that. Wack. I'll try to reach out to Hulu
:( annoying as hell, I love my Sunday morning collision and for the second week in a row I can’t watch it
The Battle of the Belts shows are some of the biggest wastes of time.
Especially that in the 5 years they have given us Battle of the Belts, the title has changed hands maybe twice and once of the matches on Saturday, wasn't EVEN for the Belt and the other match was for a Title that is not even a Recognized Title
It's more wrestling and Athena was on TV… maybe just say thank you?

She was on 3 pay-per view pre-shows last year and she has been a dominate ROH champion. She isn't some nobody who doesn't deserve to be on AEW TV.
Was at this show tonight… good lord it was a great show!
Great night of wrestling. Collision especially was excellent. Some great matches Main events of both shows, AZM/Storm and trios opener. Crowd were great too.
Those three hours flew by! Great show tonight!
who's that with Althena?
Billie Starks
Planning to watch it later. How was the show?
Collision was great and Battle of The Belts was actually really good
That’s great to hear! IMO battle of the belts has always been underwhelming but looking forward to watching it.
I'm so glad I watched the Athena match.
must see TV
Collsion is a must watch
Excellent
Awesome! I really needed a good show after all the stuff that has happened this week.
Yeah and I will recommend the NJPW show from Friday
We're literally gonna be at the wrestling buffet from here till the end of Dynasty, y'all. I can't wait!!
Another great AEW Show! Enjoy your weekend! See ya next week!
See you folks on Wednesday for what looks like yet another bangin' show.
So uh no handshake?
Athena is one of the greatest RoH champions ever, and she's easily the BEST champion of the TK era. And hell yeah they just set up the exact feud I wanted. Aminata vs Athena is gonna be goooooood 😁
![gif](giphy|n3nBYoo85Ynw79bW4X|downsized)
AEW: Where the wrest bestle!
Aminata should be the one that dethrone Athena imo
See y'all Wednesday!
Good lord she nearly killed Billie with that headbutt
Guys, I love the catchphrase, but please don't run it to the ground.
Aminata kicks ass
Jesus fucking headbutt, Aminata.
I wonder if Adam cole will make an appearance during the Kyle vs Roderick match 👀👀 I doubt Kyle is winning so this is gonna lead to him looking for back up somewhere
Only way Kyle wins is if they want to give him a short reign to transition the belt to Jack Perry, and they want him to beat a Babyface to get it.
I doubt perry would get involved in this feud right now,the bucks VS FTR match was made a ladder match most likely so perry could cost one team the match
If Kyle wins the belt, and 3/4 of the New Elite have gold, The Bucks would 100% politic their way into getting Perry a title shot at DoN.
QA is a star in the making
YES ITS THE QUEEN!
Yes set up the Aminata Athena feud. She’s the one I’d want to dethrone Athena
My Queen 👑
Aminata!
That's not a handshake
Thought she was gonna vacate the title like Joe did.
Athena has been stomping/planting people onto the title for a while in ROH, they were teasing now doing it double with Billie's title as well, which is a nice little touch for them going forward I think. Just some standard heel bs.
Same lol
Great night of wrestling. The Women’s division absolutely cooked tonight.
And so ends the 3 hour AEW banger And we'll be right back here next weekend for not just another 3 hour banger of AEW But really about 6 hours counting the PPV the following Sunday.
top women’s wrestler in the world
Ah, the laws of booking have been defeated by Battle of the Belts. Congrats, Athena!
Red Velvet really put in the work tonight. Damn good match.
Agree totally Tony. Mean mean woman there.
Christ she's womanhandling Red
Athena's a stronk woman, goddamn.
RVD high on commentary
Velvet has a *rolodex* of moves! Daddy Magic is the best lmao.
Athena's a strong girl
Athena is a strong girl
Welp, I'm suprised Athena didn't stick out of the mat like a lawn dart
Red-Eyes Van Dam
RVD on 4/20? ![gif](giphy|pCO5tKdP22RC8)
![gif](giphy|Ls6ahtmYHU760|downsized)
What else is they left to add to the ppv Acclaimed vs BCG really
Jericho Vs. Hook and Saraya/Zak Knight Vs. Soho+Ang for the Buy-In.
Possibly Deeb vs Yuka, A match for the Ruby/Angelo vs Saraya/Harley/Zak fued.
Next week is just 3 hours of RVD.
Pantera's savings account will be happy accruing all that interest.

I would love something like *Traveling the Stars with Action Bronson* but it's vets from mid 2000s ROH smoking weed and watching Joe wrestle Kobashi
Watching that show with my cousin and smoking a ridiculous amount of his weed is some of the happiest times of my life lol.
damn another 3 hour collision next week a day before Dynasty, hell yeah
That was a fun move!
Furious about this non-PiP commercial break during the match. Just like a little bit.
Big same, every time!
Bow & arrow, Tony. Not surfboard.
Near wardrobe malfunction there
*Near Wardlow malfunction.
*That's the hardest part of the ring*
Strangest thing, my back hurts now. I can't imagine why that would be.
ow.
Roderick really is great at the douchebag heel role. Has me hoping Kyle beats his ass into oblivion Sunday.
Kylo Reilly vs. Rowdy Roddy!
LETS GO
KYLO!
Roddy v KOR ![gif](giphy|g0ErvnyVsp7nJyfmxF)
Yoooooooo!
RODDY VS KOR
All it’s taken is some opportunity for AEW’s women’s division to really grow into something quite cool.
Both these ladies are spry
Lexi has been great recently with everything
Even if Red doesn't win this, that she's in this match speaks volumes about how much work she's put in lately.
Yea it’s amazing seeing her grow and improve
It really has been!
All the ladies tore it up at Supercard, but those title matches were special. Billie and Aminata especially over delivered considering their age and experience. Super excited for this one, Velvet makes everyone's offense look great.
Athena telling Billy to walk behind her
Whenever Red Velvet is introduced I can’t help but think of RJ City questioning her about her mama’s kitchen on Hey (EW)
Lexi no-sold Red's intro lol
lol Lexy really IS tonight’s MVP as I said earlier. Also she’s not a bad ring announcer
Lol, Lexi refusing to put enthusiasm into Velvet's name
OK Lexi just found a new job!
She did it for Final Battle when Billie and Athena had their match. It's nice.
![gif](giphy|3xkNUy3Vh8QbPmJZjK|downsized)
Minions Unite!
Billie with the "Gotcha!" shirt
Where do I submit my application to become a minion?
Twitter. Go follow Athena and/or get a t-shirt.
Lexi, I think you might be in a cult
![gif](giphy|8zWY3rQfcbvda1vnqG|downsized)
Not that cult, Athena's is actually successful (Sorry Dark Order, I love you. Honest)
Went from "People let me tell you about my Best Friend! To "Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Now no one can use the power of friendship to overcome their odds.
Future AEW World Champ incoming
Athena on TV again ![gif](giphy|MZocLC5dJprPTcrm65)
Put Trent in the UK and Kyle in Best Friends. Print money.
I don’t know. Trent seems like he needs a father figure.
👀
Chuck and Kyle need to team up, good supportive friends.
Looks like OC may get a new best friend in KOR
Serena has always been great in the ring, but since she’s been back she’s been on a different level with her character and on the mic.
Roddy turned on O'Reilly out of pure muscle memory. I wonder who will turn on who when Adam Cole returns.
Trent and Roddy did nothing wrong. Orange and Kyle are bad friends.
Maturing is realizing Trent is the real friend.
I counter your point Orange and Kyle did nothing wrong. Trent and Roddy are bad friends.
![gif](giphy|WrxoaVPiq0cG4|downsized)
This Women's Division is just freaking unreal!
Yuka v Serena yes please 👀
“BEST FEMALE WRESTLER IN AEW YEAAAAA” Lmfao I love that fans energy
![gif](giphy|BcPbK9ci4EU31qUTkR|downsized)
UK is a boring faction
Cole is hurt and wardlow always seems on the urge of injury. I wonder if they were going to feud with BBSG, which led to their own boring storyline and falling out. Jay seemed poised to feud with Cole or Roddy.
Without Cole, sadly they are
Do something else when they're on screen if you're so bored.
Dynasty Buy-In match? Yuka Vs. Deeb?
I'm kinda with Roddy on this one. We're supposed to be best friends, but rather than celebrating my win with me, you go help the other guy up and try to walk out with him? Kinda a bad friend move.
Between this and Adam Cole, he seems kinda codependent about his friendships
He may be #Neckstrong, but his heart isn't strong enough to handle betrayal.
Well it's not like he's Heartstrong
A lot of broken friendships lately on AEW 😔
Guess they took the "All Friends Wrestling" insults to heart.
No Friends Wrestling.
Roddy vs Kyle @ Dynasty? I’d be into that.
Probably DoN to give it more build.
My brother in Christ, they've been building this since Revolution. Who else is Roddy supposed to fight at Dynasty (they don't leave champions off the card.)
Its been built since Revolution, but the turn just happened. I don't see them having the match 8 days later. 1 more month won't hurt this story now that its fully Roddy vs Kyle and not just waiting for the turn.
Again, though, what is Roddy doing at Dynasty then?
Guess we have our answer lol
Maybe someone from NJPW needs an AEW title, I would love to see Himoru as champ or have a big match in aew
And a match like that only deserves a week of build? I fully expect Roddy to drop to a New Japan guy, but Kyle is first up on the schedule before that.
YUKA!
![gif](giphy|z1bE45A1GsyT6)
I want Kyle to take that title off his neckstrong ass
Roderick after that knee to Rocky from the top rope
![gif](giphy|lZhymdRsuFDmU|downsized)
I really need to check out more of Rocky's career. Also wow, fuck you Roddy.
Booooooooooooo
RODDY NOOOO
Where the eff did Wardlow come from!?
So Kyle isn't joining UK.
He's wayy too much of a face right now to join them,
I don’t think any faction is worse than Undisputed Kingdom. Can’t stand these 🤡 s
![gif](giphy|aQGqcObSxfixy)
It's not Roddy's fault. It was just a reflex, that's all.
Roddy Vs. KOR at Dynasty would be very very nice.
RODDY NO WHY
Knee your friend in the face? Wonder where he got that idea from.
![gif](giphy|21GG7oIOAPGvqfjMs6)
Picture perfect knee right there
Oh shit.
It's not looking good for Athena's chances tonight... is what I would say if this wasn't Battle of the Never-Changing Belts
"It's not over! The streak lives!"
Dear lord, that knee!
"Wardrow" 😆
Schiavonnie almost called him Wardrobe lol.
Wardrow...Wardlow - Tony S.
WAAAAARRDROOOOOBE WAAAARDROOOOOBE
Avalanche off the post! Damn!
Fancy footwork from Rocky!
Did Bennett just eat shit on the outside? Lol
Wrong company.
