AEW Collision Results 6/24 – Eight-Man Tag, Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs. Swerve Strickland

The two teams come down to the ring, including CM Punk, who gets audibly booed as Kevin Kelly mentions, “We’re not in Chicago anymore.” Punk does still have his share of supporters in the crowd.

Punk and Jay White start the match. Punk shoves White, White makes a gun with his finger, puts it on Punk’s forehead, and tags out to Juice. Juice feints for a moment before they lock up. Punk comes off the ropes and drops Juice with a shoulder tackle, then tags in Dax Harwood. Dax and Juice lock up, then Dax bounces off the ropes for a while before dropping Juice.

Juice gets Dax in a headlock and tags out to Austin Gunn, who unloads with fists on Dax in the corner. Dax fights back with chops, then hits a vertical suplex for a one count. Cash Wheeler tags himself in, hits Austin with a diving shoulder tackle, then drop kicks another opponent off the apron. Ricky Starks now tags in. Austin reverses an Irish Whip, but Starks hits him with a back elbow. Starks does Undertaker’s Old School to Austin off the second rope, then chops Juice when he tries to come in, but this allows Austin to recover and tag in White, who faces off with Starks. White points at Punk and Starks obligingly tags Punk in. Punk taunts White and they lock up, with White driving Punk into the corner. Punk reverses position and hits a few body shots, then a chop. Then White reverses and hits a chop and the entire sequence happens again. Punk chops White into the other corner and stands on the second rope to deliver punches, but that exchange ends with White sending Punk to the outside, where he’s mobbed by the other heels. We go to break with the two teams squaring off on the outside of the ring.

Back from break with Dax superplexing Juice off the top rope. He gets Juice in a powerbomb position and Cash tags in and hits a Doomsday Device for a near fall. Colten Gunn tags in and squashes Cash in the corner with a splash, following up with a dropkick. Colten runs and Cash, but Cash catches him and wheelbarrows him into the corner for a two count. Cash hits a big chop, poses, tags in Punk. Punk goes to the top rope as Cash drapes Colten over his knee for Punk to drop down on him, which earns two consecutive two counts. Punk with a neckbreaker, then mounts Colten for a two count. Punk whips Colten off the ropes, but a distraction allows Colten to level Punk and tag Austin in. Austin with stomps to Punk in the corner, and drives Punk into the heels’ corner. White tags in and chops Punk, then forces him to “smile for the camera.” White hits a dragon screw leg whip and tags in Juice, who drops elbows on Punk’s knee. Juice with a submission hold on Punk’s leg before tagging in Austin, who gets chopped by Punk. Punk with more chops, but Austin drags him back into the corner and White tags in. White delivers kicks to Punk’s midsection in the corner, and the ref admonishes him, allowing Colten to attack Punk’s face from the outside. We go to another commercial break.

Back from break again, and Punk is still getting worked over, as White chops him while he’s on the top rope. White climbs up and tells Punk he doesn’t belong in the ring anymore, but Punk throws him off. Punk with a crossbody off the top rope and reaches out his arm for the tag, but White kicks Punk’s arm a few times before they get into a strike exchange. Punk gets the better of it and goes for the tag, but White chop blocks his knee. Punk drives White into the corner, takes out another team member on the outside, then gets an opportunity at the tag, but things start to break down. Juice goes for GTS on Punk, but Punk blocks and kicks Juice in the head. The Gunns go for a double team on Punk, but he kicks them away and tags in Starks! Starks cleans house as the crowd chants “Ricky!” Tornado DDT on Austin for a near fall, and Starks poses in the ring. Juice and White attack Starks, but FTR join the brawl in the ring and take them out. Harwood throws White into the barricade, but White backdrops him on the outside and makes the blind tag. Starks hits White with a Blue Thunder Bomb for a near fall. White rolls up Starks and has the tights, but he kicks out. White goes for the Blade Runner but Starks counters into a brainbuster, Juice breaks up the pin. Dax with a piledriver on Juice. The Gunns hit their finisher on Dax, but Cash takes them out, military pressing one of them over the top rope and hitting a suicide dive on the outside. Punk goes to the top rope and tries to hit White with a move, but White hits a uranage on Punk and then another one on Starks for a near fall. White goes for the Blade Runner on Starks again, but Starks rolls him up for a near fall, then starts speaking everyone. White dodges a spear, which takes Starks’ head outside the ring just long enough for Juice to punch him, allowing White to finally hit Blade Runner for the win.

Winners, by pinfall: Bullet Club Gold and the Gunns

After the match, White invites the Gunns to join his celebration with Juice and all four men throw up the guns together. Have the Gunns finally officially joined Bullet Club Gold? That question remains to be answered as “Collision” goes off the air.
