AEW Collision Results 7/11 - Three Titles On The Line, Hangman Adam Page Returns

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage of "AEW Collision" emanating from the Berglund Center in Roanoke, Virginia. 

"Collision" is scheduled to kick off with the return of "Hangman" Adam Page, ending his four-month absence in his home state of Virginia. He may surely have something to say about Kenny Omega's AEW World Championship win during Wednesday's "AEW Dynamite," dethroning the same champion in MJF that had beaten him at Revolution, thus forbidding him from challenging for the title again. 

Hikaru Shida will be making the first defense of her TBS Championship against Harley Cameron, having won the Survival of the Fittest match for the vacant title on June 1. 

Mark Davis will also be defending his National Championship against "Speedball" Mike Bailey, with Bailey looking to get through one Don Callis Family to get to another in Kevin Knight. Should Davis beat Bailey, he could have another title defense to look forward to against Andrade, provided he beats Jake Doyle during next week's "Dynamite."

Rounding out the scheduled title contests, Bandido will be defending his ROH World Championship against Katsuyori Shibata. 

"AEW Collision" is scheduled to begin at 8 PM ET, available via TNT and HBO Max for those watching in the US. Those watching internationally can use Triller TV or MyAEW depending on their region. 

The show kicks off with a package recapping Kenny Omega's AEW World Championship win over MJF on Wednesday. 

After that package, Tony Schiavone stands in the ring to announce the arrival of "Hangman" Adam Page. Page comes out, his hair cut shorter than before but otherwise the "Cowboy" fans have come to know and love. Schiavone welcomes Page back in his home state of Virginia. 

Page says is a gardener after the past few years, mostly native plants. His butterfly weed is incredible, he says. He says he has found something beautifully therapeutic about planting a seed. He has gone for four months, and says in the time he wasn't in physio he was planting. But he says it was important for him to be here tonight because he wanted to plant one more seed. He doesn't know what it will grow into but he'll do that. 

Page recalls his March Championship match to MJF, putting up his ability to ever challenge for the World title so he could get the Texas Death Match. He doesn't know whether he underestimated MJF or overestimated himself, but he lost. 

He says he always tried to be a man of a word, and he knows there is no contract strictly preventing him from challenging for the title, but he has decided to stay true to his word and never challenge for the World title again. 

He says that he looks beyond the World title won by Kenny Omega, whether it be the TNT Championship held by Kevin Knight, the National Championship held by Mark Davis – or maybe Mike Bailey if he wins later tonight, the Continental Championship held by Jon Moxley, or the International Championship held by Kyle Fletcher.

He asks, "Who is Hangman Page without the World Championship?" 

He says he does not know, but he is looking forward to finding out.

The match kicks off with a grappling back-and-forth which Katsuyori Shibata appears to get the better of, with Bandido switching out only to get thrown back into another hold. 

Bandido finds the ropes to break a leg hold, but Shibata slaps him back down to the mat when they return to their feet. Shibata halts a comeback rally from Bandido with a boot to the face and throws the kitchen sink to the midsection to bring him down. 

Shibata manages to hit a low-blow without the referee noticing, draping Bandido on the ropes and kicking him out of the ring. Shibata continues to work over Bandido on the floor before casting him back into the ring. Shibata returns to the ring and Bandido rolls out to the other side clutching his crown jewels. 

Shibata goes back outside, charging Bandido into the apron and throwing him into the guard rail. He then charges with Bandido in tow at the guard rail on the opposite side. 

Shibata picks up a steel chair and shapes up to use it before the referee gets involved and takes it off of him. He then opts to throw Bandido back in the ring. Shibata makes the cover for a two-fall, followed by another, then another in quick succession. 

Shibata keeps kicking down at Bandido and grapping at his mask. Bandido is rising to his feet and calling for more. A striking exchange ensues. Shibata wobbles Bandido who returns with a backfist, Shibata drops Bandido to the floor before he falls down himself. 

The action is taken to the apron as both attempt a suplex, but Shibata adjusts and hits a DDT to plant Bandido onto the apron. He then follows up with a suplex on the floor. Back in the ring and he makes a cover but again only for a two-count. 

Another striking exchange continues with both men chopping one another, Shibata rebounds from the ropes but gets caught with a superkick, trying the rebound again and getting another superkick. Bandido Gorilla presses Shibata and follows up with a shooting star press from the top for another near-fall. 

Bandido looks for 21-Plex but Shibata holds the ropes. Shibata rolls Bandido up for a two-count but comes back with a PK. Shibata looks for another but Bandido connects with a hurricanrana and makes the cover for a two-count. 

Both men run at one another and rock eachother with lariats. They settle in opposite corners for a shoot-out, Shibata wins with a stiff lariat but Bandido rocks him with an up-kick. They grapple and Bandido ties Shibata up in the cover for the three-count.
