AEW Collision Results 12/6 - Continental Classic Continues, Swerve Strickland Appears, And More!

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage of "AEW Collision," live from Columbus, Ohio's GalaxyCon festivities, on a lovely December 6, 2025 evening! It's a busy season for AEW, with the Continental Classic currently underway and both Winter is Coming and Worlds End fast-approaching. As the year speeds towards its close, who will cement 2025 as their year, and who will fall behind?

The Continental Classic continues, with several Blue League matches scheduled for "Collision's" card! Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong are scheduled for a Blue League match, but it won't be your typical Classic song and dance. Cassidy has requested the match fall under "Conglomeration Rules," which means chops will be out of the question for Strong! If you're worried about not meeting your Saturday chop-count, however, worry not: Konosuke Takeshita and Jon Moxley are scheduled to fight in the night's second Continental Classic match, and after Moxley called out Takeshita during ROH: Final Battle Friday night, their clash may be a classic in the making. The Death Riders will continue to be booked and busy, as CMLL World Heavyweight Champion and current Blue League frontrunner Claudio Castagnoli is set to face CMLL World Trios' Champion Máscara Dorada to cap off the night's Continental Classic festivities.

Elsewhere on the card, the newly-returned Swerve Strickland will be making a live appearance! Strickland returned to AEW programming in the final moments of Full Gear to stand beside his former enemy "Hangman" Adam Page in a now-joint crusade against Samoa Joe, HOOK, and The Opps. While The Opps are not announced for tonight's episode of "Collision," this is wrestling, where the card is, famously, subject to change.

In the vein of live appearances, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood of FTR are also slated for tonight's show. The AEW World Tag Team Champions will have plenty to say about the Bang Bang Gang — specifically, Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn, who wasted no words in their takedown of FTR on the November 27 episode of "Collision." The Bang Bang Gang have failed to collect gold from FTR before, but as the adage goes: if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

AEW's women are not about to let the men have all the fun! Tony Schiavone will be hosting a face-to-face between the two finalists in the AEW Women's Tag Team Championship tournament. Will Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa work microphone magic, or will the Babes of Wrath come out on top ahead of tournament finals on Winter is Coming?

Mercedes Moné was once the belt collector, but after losing her ROH Women's World Television Championship to Red Velvet at Final Battle, she might be on a belt loser streak. She is slated to put her coveted TBS title up against Leila Grey tonight! Will "The CEO" see a return to form, or is Moné hitting rock bottom in real time?

Moné isn't the only one putting his title up for grabs! Ricochet became the first-ever AEW National Champion at Full Gear following an impressive Casino Gauntlet performance, and he's already shown up and shown out with his inaugural defense against Dalton Castle at Final Battle. Can he pull it off again in tonight's defense against Ace Austin?

And we're live! We are joined by Ian Riccaboni, Tony Schiavone, and Nigel McGuinness on the commentary booth as the GalaxyCon crowd erupts into applause.

Reneé Paquette's voice comes over the broadcast as Cassidy makes his entrance. According to Paquette, Cassidy is not 100% following a recent match with Claudio Castagnoli, but he is medically cleared to compete in tonight's Blue League happenings. Roderick Strong has reportedly made his intentions to target Cassidy's aching lower back known.

The bell rings, and the two men take their time before locking up. The technician Strong wrestles Cassidy to the floor, but Cassidy manages to find his way back to his feet. Strong's putting pressure on Cassidy's arm, and isn't keen on letting Cassidy reach the ropes. Cassidy is forced to reinvent the wheel, and forces a break by lunging back to put his foot on the ropes.

The two continue going hold for hold, and Strong looks great in the early goings. A chop misses, and Cassidy seems irritated before Strong backs him into a corner. More chops follow, and Cassidy has zero reaction before taking Strong to the bat for a headlock. Strong gets back up to his feet and breaks Cassidy's grip on him, but Cassidy nonchalantly puts Strong on his back and in a headlock once more. This cycle of break-out and headlock continues once more. Cassidy is focused, and doesn't look to be letting this headlock up any time soon.

A knee to Cassidy's lower back gives Strong temporary reprieve, but Cassidy simply gets him into a Crucifix pinning combination. Strong kicks out, and Cassidy's biceps cinch around the Paragon member's neck once more. The two men rise to their feet, with Strong struggling to free himself. He does, and lays a particularly nasty chop to Cassidy. The jogger-wearing wrestler bears some choice chops to the chest as the two men make a tour of GalaxyCon's ringside area, only for Cassidy to cinch in another headlock. 

Bad decision, Cassidy! He is in pain after Strong hoists him up and drops him on the top of the ring barricade. Cassidy's signature coolness fades as he bears another chop. The two are back in the ring, and another backbreaker from Strong to Cassidy has the latter writhing in pain as we cut to commercial!

Back from the break, and Cassidy has just grounded Strong with a tilt-a-whirl DDT! Both men go down, but Strong gets back up to reassume control of the match. Another disrespectful chop lands on Cassidy's chest, and the two go forehead-to-forehead as Cassidy defiantly puts his hands in his pockets. Strong goes for the double-leg takedown, but Cassidy fights back to send Strong to the outside. His kipup is just as nonchalant as he is, but the following Suicide Dive to the outside only gives Strong an advantage!

Cassidy's back-up top-rope crossbody doesn't help his situation at all. Strong effortlessly plucks him out of the air and sends him landing on his hurting lower back with a powerslam. He looks to capitalize, but Cassidy changes the trajectory of the match with a Crucifix flash pin attempt. Strong misses with his lethal knee strike, and Cassidy manages to down Strong with a wonderful DDT!

That top rope is looking treacherous as Strong knocks the airborne attempt out of Cassidy. They look to be going for a Superplex, but Strong disrespectfully clocks the back of Cassidy's head. He looks to be going for a top-rope slam, but Cassidy fights back with some fierce elbows. It's a top-rope DDT from Cassidy, but it only manages to secure him a near-fall! If Cassidy isn't writhing in pain from the extra work on his back, then he'll be hurting from the pain of a victory slipping through his fingers.

Orange Punch doesn't connect — in fact, Cassidy flies straight into The Rack! Strong goes for a End of Heartache, which turns into a Boston Crab, Cassidy switches it up with a flash pin attempt, and Strong denies him the pinfall! He goes for another End of Heartache, but the agile Cassidy lands on his feet to fold Strong into half for the one, two, three! Cassidy walks out with a victory, and is now on the board with three points to his name!
