Doc-Chris Mueller

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of AEW Collision on November 9.

Here's a look at what AEW advertised for this week's show:

Let's take a look at everything that happened on this week's show.

House of Black vs. Iron Savages

Collision. AEW

Collision opened with Malakai Black, Brody King and Buddy Matthews making their way to the ring to battle Jacked Jameson, Bulk Bronson and Beefcake Boulder.

HOB had the upper hand right away and other than one quick moment, Black King and Matthews dominated the powerlifters.

After about a minute, the ref just stopped caring if tags were made or anyone got out of the ring. Jameson was the unfortunate recipient of their triple-team finisher to end the match.

This was a glorified squash that had a few fun moments but was ultimately just designed to give HOB an easy victory. What we saw was fine, but we didn't get nearly enough action for this to be anything special.

As Black was preparing to speak, FTR's music hit. They asked which two members of HOB would face them in an upcoming match. Black and King stepped forward.

Result: HOB defeated Iron Savages

Grade: C

Notable Moments and Observations

The Outrunners vs. Top Flight

Collision. AEW

Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen came out to watch this match because whoever wins will be in the Fatal 4-Way match at Full Gear to determine the next No. 1 contenders to the titles.

Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd battled Dante and Darius Martin in a showdown of two popular babyface tag teams, but the crowd seemed to be a bit more vocal for the Outrunners.

The first couple of minutes were pretty basic. They traded control, made some tags, and taunted each other, but once the pace picked up, you could really see what these teams can do.

Private Party watched from the stage as these teams put on a competitive performance, but Dante and Darius got into an argument when Darius almost took out Leila Grey with a suicide dive.

The Outrunners started to build some momentum and hit a series of double-team moves. Turbo Hulked up and they hit their finisher for the pin and the win. This was a solid match from two talented duos.

Result: The Outrunners defeated Top Flight.

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

Roderick Strong vs. Beast Mortos

Collision. AEW

Strong was out first for his match against Mortos. Roddy was looking to gain his second win on the road to the three he needs to challenge MJF.

Roddy asked Mortos where he was when he needed him, and the Beast unloaded on him. Roddy clearly still wanted him to leave LFI and join The Undisputed Kingdom, but the masked man seemed to have no interest.

The announcers noted that Mortos looked conflicted at times, but it never stopped him from trying to win the match.

The match lasted through a commercial into the next segment and saw both men get in plenty of offense. Mortos seemed to have control most of the time, but Strong kept finding ways to make a comeback.

After a solid back-and-forth contest that was more physical than expected, Strong scored the win but was immediately attacked by Lance Archer as soon as it was over.

Result: Strong defeated Mortos

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

Kris Statlander in Action, Jack Perry vs. Action Andretti

Collision. AEW

Statlander faced a local talent this week, which means this was little more than a squash match. She hit her Staturday Night Fever finisher for a sub-minute victory.

Mercedes Mone showed up and attacked Stat until officials filled the ring.

Result: Statlander won

Grade: Incomplete

The TNT title was on the line this week when Perry defended the belt against Andretti. They locked up and Perry made a surprisingly clean break in the corner.

Perry began to use more heel tactics during the break like raking Andretti's eyes. Once he had the upper hand, he became much more aggressive.

The high-flyer began to build up a head of steam once we returned and he almost won with a beautiful 450, but Perry had too much life left on his health bar.

After a fun and frenetic performance, Perry picked up the win to retain his title. Before he could say two words into the mic he grabbed, Daniel Garcia came to the ring.

Result: Perry defeated Andretti

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

AR Fox vs. Nick Wayne

Collision. AEW

Nick Wayne gave a promo saying it's good AR Fox's dad is dead already so he doesn't have to see what is about to happen to him. Fox responded by attacking him during his entrance.

Wayne had to trip him into the ring steps to take control after Fox hit a few high-flying moves in a row. Kip Sabian and Shayna Wayne cheered Nick on as Fox proceeded to regain control.

This was a solid match with a lot of energy, but it also had a couple of sloppy moments as a result of trying to go so quickly.

Wayne hit his new finisher, a double underhook destroyer, for the win. After the match, Sabian held Fox so Nick could staple a picture to his head.

Result: Nick defeated Fox

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

The Death Riders vs. Conglomeration

Collision. AEW

Pac, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli put the Trios Championships on the line in this week's main event against Mark Briscoe, Kyle O'Reilly and Tomohiro Ishii.

KOR and Yuta started for their teams with a fast-paced exchange. The babyfaces had Yuta cornered for a little while, but his teammates eventually helped even the odds.

This was the most action-packed bout on the card. All six men put in a lot of effort to make this an entertaining main event, but a title change never seemed like a real possibility.

This was a perfect example of what the trios division is in AEW. The rules were ignored a bit at times, but that isn't unusual in AEW.

Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir came to the ring with a few minutes left in the show, but so did Orange Cassidy. The champions retained in the end, but OC initiated a huge brawl with Mox and his crew. The show ended with The Death Riders retreating into the crowd.

Result: The Death Riders defeated The Conglomeration

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

The Final Word

Collision. AEW

This week's episode of Collision packed a lot into the two-hour runtime, but that doesn't mean every segment was a hit.

The two squash matches were forgettable, but most of what we saw in the ring was highly entertaining. The main event was certainly the most memorable, but depending on what kind of wrestling you enjoy, it may not be your personal Match of the Night.

Perry and Andretti put on a great performance, and so did Top Flight and The Outrunners. However, the most interesting thing didn't even take place in the arena.

A video aired for the long-awaited return of Julia Hart. The former TBS champion was channeling both her dark persona and her cheerleader side for this video, and it worked perfectly.

The two title bouts are definitely worth watching, but make sure you go check out the video hyping Hart's return.

Grade: B
