9/28 AEW Collision: Grand Slam Results – From Arthur Ashe Stadium, the second half of AEW’s annual New York “Grand Slam” special kicks off with Saraya’s as she comes to the ring with Harley Cameron by her side.

Saraya’s Rules: Saraya vs. Jamie Hayter

Jamie Hayter comes down, but Harley Cameron is on the mic. She says there’s one more rule this evening: the match does not begin until Saraya “slaps the slag.” Hayter offers her face willingly, shoves Cameron, then takes the slap. Hayter takes the advantage and stomps Saraya in the corner, but she’s fighting Cameron as well so it’s basically a handicap match. Hayter manages to get to the outside, where she delivers a kick to Saraya and rolls her into the ring. Cameron grabs Hayter’s leg, however, and while she’s distracted, Saraya hits Hayter with a VCR, then proceeds to hit her while she’s down with a keyboard. Saraya wraps the keyboard cord around Hayter’s neck and chokes her for a while before going for a pinfall, but Hayter kicks out at one.

Saraya tosses Hayter from the ring, where Cameron attacks her on the outside, throwing her into the ringside barricade.Cameron mounts Hayter and chokes her, then picks her up so Saraya can give her four shots to the head with a baking sheet. On the fifth shot, however, Hayter dodges and Saraya hits Cameron, then delivers a German Suplex to Saraya on the outside. Cameron jumps on Hayter’s back, but Hayter runs her into the barricade. Saraya nails Hayter in the back with a steel pipe to regain the advantage, then grabs a backpack and upends it to spill toy cars all over a table. No word on when that got set up.

Hayter fights back and takes out Cameron, then throws Saraya into the barricade. She throws Saraya back in the ring and celebrates, Saraya goes for a basement dropkick but Hayter catches her. Cameron with the distraction again, allowing Saraya to attempt another attack, but Hayter sends her crashing to the floor. Hayter chases Cameron around the ring, then climbs to the top rope, dragging Saraya with her. Cameron climbs up and grabs her, however, allowing Saraya to hit Hayter with a chair, sending both Hayter and Cameron into the toy car-covered tables. Saraya goes for a cover outside the ring but Hayter kicks out.

Saraya gets in the ring and she wants a count-out victory. As usual, the referee gets to nine before Hayter throws herself back into the ring. Saraya hits whatever she’s calling the Rampaige now, but Hayter kicks out. Saraya goes for a powerbomb, but Hayter reverses, gets Saraya on her shoulders and runs her through a table that somebody set up in the corner. Again, no word on the tables situation. Saraya goes to whip Hayter’s head into a chair set up in the corner, but Hayter reverses and does that to Saraya instead. Hayter with a Tombstone Piledriver, but she doesn’t go for the cover. Hayter drags Saraya back to her feet and hits a massive lariat for the victory.

Winner: Jamie Hayter

In a backstage interview, Renee Paquette is talking to Ricochet and Will Ospreay. Ricochet compares himself to Kobe Bryant and says he wasn’t even here a minute before the Don Callis Family and Ospreay got in his face. Ospreay says Ricochet has forgotten who he is and calls himself the best wrestler in the world right now.

The ref calls for the bell.

Winners, and still AEW World Trios Champions: PAC, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta

After the match, PAC and Claudio express their pride in Yuta, who seems to realize what he’s done and flees to the back.

A video for the Outrunners plays, and now it’s time for Hologram!

Hologram vs. The Beast Mortos vs. Dralistico vs. The Beast Mortos

Hologram comes out, followed by Dralistico and The Beast Mortos. The match opens with an exchange between all three wrestlers that ends with Mortos hitting a double clothesline. Dralistico with a head scissors on Hologram, Mortos with a corkscrew takedown on Dralistico, Hologram with a wristlock arm drag on Mortos. All kinds of things are happening now, this match is going extremely fast, with lots of flips exchanged between all three men. Sorry, that’s the best you’re gonna get with what just happened.

Dralistico misses Mortos with an enzuguiri but hits Hologram. Dralistico sends Mortons to the outside then hits him with a tope suicida, after which Hologram follows up with a top of his own on Dralistico as we go to commercial.

Back from break, Mortos is delivering shots to Dralistico in the corner. Tosses him to the other corner, but Dralistico sends him out of the ring.

After the match, Dralistico and Mortos start arguing, but now RUSH is out here in a suit. RUSH grabs both men into a hug. Hologram attacks Mortos but now all three men are beating down Hologram. RUSH delivers a headbutt, taking Hologram down. RUSH, Dralistico, and Mortos make the gesture of La Faccion Ingobernables.

In a backstage interview, Kris Statlander is taking to Lexy Nair about how nobody talks about her big wins, but it’s okay, because she’s not insecure. If you were to design a women’s wrestler from the inside out, it wouldn’t even be close to something this good. Every woman in AEW should be saying “Thank you Stat,” because when you face her you get better or you get destroyed. Maybe both.

MxM Collection reveal Max Caster’s new jacket

MxM Collection come out and they have what is presumably Max Caster’s jacket hidden under a black cloth. Mansoor asks if the crowd is ready for the “Grand Slam” finale to New York Fashion Week, then the two introduce each other and touch tips. Mansoor says they reclaimed Max Caster’s jacket because it was ugly, like Max, and was emblazoned with a lie, saying that Max Caster is the best wrestler alive. This makes them crack up. They’ve made some alterations though. They promise that all the male models will be just as handsome as them.

Some music hits and a series of people holding Mason and Mansoor’s faces on popsicle stick masks in front of their faces walk out to the ring as MxM Collection announces where they’re from and what they’re wearing. There are maybe six of them. After asking the crowd to cheer the models, they take off the black cloth to reveal a very large muscular man named Hans wearing Caster’s modified jacket. The jacket now says “Best Dressed Alive.” Mansoor then asks Hans to “take it off.” Hans is doing a lot of posing and showing off his muscles. Mansoor says Hans would be perfect for MxM Collection and says it would be a honor if he would touch their tips. Hans grabs their fingers instead and takes off the stick mask to reveal that he’s actually Billy Gunn.

Gunn attacks MxM but the models take him down, which brings out The Acclaimed to take everyone down. The Acclaimed give one of the models a tag team move, then Caster puts on the jacket and scissors both Gunn and Anthony Bowens while MxM Collection are apoplectic on the ramp and hey it’s time for another commercial.

Lumberjack Strap Match: Adam Page vs. Jeff Jarrett

“Hangman” Adam Page’s music hits and he comes down for his Lumberjack Strap Match with Jeff Jarrett. There are several lumberjacks outside, including the Bang Bang Gang and Dark Order, all holding straps. Now it’s bree-woo time as Jarrett comes out with his guitar and his stable, including Karen Jarrett, Jay Lethal, and Satnam Singh. They apparently still don’t have a collective name, go figure.

The lumberjacks bang their straps on the mat and Page attacks, getting into a strike exchange with Jarrett. Page whips Jarrett off the ropes and catches him with a big boot. Jarrett sends Page to the apron, but the lumberjacks can’t hit him unless he’s on the outside. Page gets Jarrett into the corner and delivers punches and chops. Page whips Jarrett again, misses a clothesline, but catches his dive attempt and hits a Fallaway Slam. Jarrett rolls to the apron, Page comes after him, Jarrett back drop Page to the outside but Page quickly gets back in the ring. Page goes for a Deadeye but Jarrett counters and gets Page into a Sharpshooter, or at least tries before Page bites him as a counter. Page sends Jarrett to the outside, but Jarrett’s people are also lumberjacks and won’t attack him. When Page throws Jarrett to the other side, however, the Dark Order and Juice Robinson do strap him. Jericho gets back into the ring, Page hits him with a belly-to-belly suplex for a two count.

It seemed like we were going to commercial but apparently not. This is awkward. Page gets Jarrett into the corner and slowly delivers chops and taunts the crowd, which seems like something you’d do if you thought it was picture-in-picture. Anyway Jarrett manages to get the upper hand for a moment, but Page knocks him to the outside again and the Bang Bang Gang gleefully straps him. He gets back in the ring where Page hits a suplex for two. Page now trying to kick Jarrett out of the ring, but Jarrett stands up on the apron. Page delivers punches but Jarrett fights through it and wants to be hit again. Now we are having problems with the feed, which seemed to briefly go backward, and now things are just completely messed up and we have white letters on a black screen.

Okay so after the feed went backwards a few times, trying to restart things like Hangman’s entrance before glitching out, we’re finally here, in the commercial break that was probably meant to happen earlier. Looks like we’re back in real time in the ring judging by the picture-in-picture so we’ll get right back into it in a moment.

Now the picture-in-picture has gone away but there are still commercials and this is legitimately hilarious.

Okay we’re finally back and Jarrett hits a Russian leg sweep on Page and throws him out of the ring, where he gets strapped. Jarrett hits a leg lariat on Page while he’s against the ropes but Page throws Jarrett to the outside and hits a basement dropkick. Now Page is on the outside and he’s fighting all the lumberjacks, beating up everyone. Page sets up for the Buckshot Lariat but Juice Robinson hits him with a strap while he’s on the apron, which the referee can’t see because it’s illegal. Page and Robinson getting into it, but Jarrett climbs to the top rope and dives on them. Jarrett gets Page back in the ring and goes for the Stroke, but Page counters and hits Jarrett with a strap, which he got somehow. Karen Jarrett now in the ring and Page is threatening her with the strap. Karen covering Jeff and Page is being conflicted. Page goes to hit Karen but Lethal stops him. Page straps Lethal. Jarrett is back up and he straps Page. Page rolls to the outside and Dark Order strap him a ton. And now the Bang Bang Gang join in. Juice hits Page with a palm strike, Lethal holds Page while Singh straps him and rolls him back into the ring. Jeff holds Page while Karen straps him but Aubrey is holding Karen back and Page delivers a low blow, following by the Deadeye for the win.

Winner: “Hangman” Adam Page

After the match, the Bang Bang Gang come to Jarrett’s aid, so Page attacks them and tries to hang Juice over the top rope. The Gunns fight him off and stare him down as Page walks backward up the ramp.

AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match: Kazuchika Okada vs. Sammy Guevara

Here comes Okada, who is wearing the title belt and a very nice black-and-white dragon trenchcoat. And now Sammy Guevara is here, accompanied by his ROH tag team champion partner Dustin Rhodes.

The two circle and lock up, Okada gets Sammy’s back but Sammy switches. Okada break’s Sammy’s grip and turns it into a wristlock. Sammy counters with a backflip and locks in a wristlock of his own. Okada breaks the hold by grabbing Sammy’s hair and pushing him back into the ropes while the ref counts. Okada pretends to slap Sammy’s chest but pats him on the head instead. Okada with a kick and a punch to drive Sammy down, snapmares him over into a sitting position, then hits the ropes and delivers a dropkick. Sammy kicks out at one after Okada takes his time making the cover.

Okada with a whip but Sammy reverses, flips over him and delivers a dropkick. He then does a springboard and flips back into the ring for a cocky pose. Okada goes to get back in the ring but but Sammy dropkicks him off the apron again and then hits a tope con hiro to the outside. Sammy throws Okada back into the ring and prepares to do another springboard move, but Okada rolls to the other side and back to the outside. Sammy runs around the ring, runs up the steps and jumps to deliver a leaping cutter to Okada on the outside. Sammy is selling that the move hurt him too as he gets back on the aprin. Goes for a moonsault to the outside but Okada dodges, kicks him in the gut, and hits a DDT on the outside. Okada smiling like a maniac as we go to what is presumably our last commercial break.

Back from break, Okada has a cravat on Sammy but he fights out with elbows. Sammy counters a whip and bounces off the ring several times but gets caught by Okada, only to hit a big move driving Okada’s head to the mat. Sammy and Okada get into a strike exchange that Okada wins. Okada sends Sammy into the ropes again but misses the lariat, Sammy bounces off the ropes and nails Okada, kips up, then knocks him to the outside and hits a tope. Sammy climbs to the top rope and crosses himself before hitting Okada with a moonsault to the outside. The ref is counting with both men down. Sammy uses the barricade to climb to his feet and gets Okada on his shoulders, but Okada counters. Sammy runs at Okada, who counters again into a back drop that sends Sammy into the ring steps.

Guevara selling his knee as Okada gets him into the ring. Okada sends Sammy into the ropes with a whip and hits a standing dropkick, then goes up to the top rope and comes down with an elbow drop. Okada goes for the Rainmaker pose but flips the crowd off instead. Okada goes for the Rainmaker but Sammy counters into a cradle for two. Sammy rolls onto the apron and goes for a springboard move but misses. Okada shoves the ref into Sammy but Sammy counters his next move and his the GTS. Sammy attacks Okada in the corner, hits an enzuguiri from the apron and goes for another springboard move, but Okada catches him and hits him in the back of the head with the Rainmaker for three. No Continental title shot for Guevara.

Winner: Kazuchika Okada

Eric Bischoff Points Out One Factor In WWE’s Success Under Triple H

Since becoming Chief Content Officer and Head of Creative for WWE, Triple H is often credited for the improvement in storytelling on WWE television and reigniting interest among fans towards the product. Those who followed WWE throughout the 1990s became enamored by the Attitude Era and enjoyed Vince McMahon’s creative process for years, however some would argue that the former CEO lost his grasp on what wrestling fans wanted later in his career, specifically throughout the 2010s. Speaking on “83 Weeks,” former WCW Executive Eric Bischoff explained why he believes Triple H has been successful as McMahon’s replacement over the last two years.

“Vince lost his feel for the audience. Obviously had it back in the 90s, he’s had it forever and we saw what he did with the business in the early 80s … by the 90s when his back was against the wall because I was kicking his balls every week and he went into the Attitude Era and went into that type of storytelling we saw what Vince McMahon was capable of and he was on his game but he lost it somewhere along the line. Triple H has it. Bruce Pritchard has it and what they have is not say ‘Oh I got the greatest idea in the world,’ they have an instinct. An intuition as to what the audience is going to react to and what they’re going to appreciate.” 

Bischoff also recently stated that he hopes WWE doesn’t go “too far” when “WWE Raw” moves to Netflix this January, as Triple H will have more freedom to produce edgier content that wouldn’t be appropriate on network television.

Former WWE Star Nic Nemeth Discusses SummerSlam 2025 Being Two Nights

WWE announced major news for 2025 this week, unveiling the location for the first two-night SummerSlam in company history just a few years after the two-night expansion of WrestleMania. The “Biggest Party of the Summer” is set to take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on August 2 and 3, and former WWE star Nic Nemeth, who went by Dolph Ziggler in the promotion, commented on the change on “Busted Open Radio.”

Nemeth said that he felt like, for the longest time, WWE was doing well, but not advancing “like they should be.” He agreed that WWE is white hot right now; every few months, something is better and bigger with the company, that “makes more sense.” Nemeth said that the company will however have to work hard to deliver on both nights.

“Because if either one of those nights [audiences think], ‘Oh, it was two-thirds pretty good! I guess it still could’ve been a night.’ No, no, no,” Nemeth said. “They’re taking this as such a big deal, making it bigger and going, ‘Hey, listen, not only is business up, when you’re hot, you’re hot, you take it and run with it.’ This is two nights of two of the biggest shows in WWE, and it better be two nights of mostly sold out and they better have kick-a** main events and have you walking through the entire show going, ‘This should have been three nights! Wow, how did they pack it into two!'”

Advertisement

WWE announced back in May that SummerSlam would be expanding to two nights. The initial news revealed the event for 2026 will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota at U.S. Bank Stadium. WWE’s next two-night event will be WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.

Saraya’s Rules Match: Saraya (w/ Harley Cameron) vs Jamie Hayter

Harley Cameron takes the microphone before the match and says that there is one more rule. The match does not start until Saraya slaps the slag. Hayter puts her hands behind her back. Cameron tries to hold her back, taking Jamie’s attention, allowing Saraya to get that slap in, and the bell rings.

Saraya smashes a VCR player over the head of Hayter, and then smacks a PC keyboard over her back, before wrapping a cord around her throat, all of which gets just a 1 count. Hayter gets tossed to the outside, where Cameron mounts her and slams the back of her head into the floor, before whipping her into the barricade. Saraya smacks Hayter repeatedly in the head with a baking tray, until she ducks one and Saraya hits Cameron instead. Hayter nails a German suplex on the floor! Cameron attacks from behind, choking Hayter out with a baseball bat, but Jamie shrugs her off and tosses her into the barricade. Saraya comes in from behind with the baseball bat to the back. She now pulls out a backpack and dumps a load of toy cars all over two set up tables. She tries to suplex Jamie, but Jamie reverses and sends Saraya into the steel steps instead.

Saraya tries to dive off the apron, but Hayter catches her and powerslams her on the floor! Hayter chases Cameron off, and then ascends the buckles with Saraya…but Cameron interferes and tries to suplex Hayter. Saraya comes in with a chairshot to Hayter, knocking her and Cameron backwards off the apron through the tables!

Hayter manages to get back in the ring to beat the count, and then kicks out of a pin attempt at 2. Saraya places a chair on the mat, but Hayter lifts her on her shoulders and tackles her through a table propped in the corner. Saraya props a chair in the opposite corner, but Hayter blocks it. Tombstone piledriver connects from Hayter. Big clutching lariat (almost a Pepsi Twist) connects from Hayter for the 1, 2, 3.

Winner: Jamie Hayter

Time: 8:13

Rating: *** – They brought the plunder, and this was pretty fun, if forgettable. Good to see Hayter doing something of substance already.

We see more snippets from Renee Paquette’s sit-down interview with Will Ospreay & Ricochet, hyping their encounter for Dynamite 5 this coming Wednesday. Can’t wait, should be awesome.

Tornado Trios Match : The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly) vs The Learning Tree (Bryan Keith, Big Bill & Chris Jericho)

As the bell rings, all six men collide. We are left with Jericho and OC in the ring, and Orange still has his backpack on. Jericho runs at him, OC spins round and OC runs straight into the backpack, which seems to hurt him. OC pulls out a brick! Keith comes in from behind to break it up, and hits a t-bone suplex on O’Reilly. Stundog millionaire on Keith and an O’Reilly back elbow. Big Bill is in, tries a double chokeslam, but the Conglomeration numbers game catches up to him. O’Reilly flies off the apron with a flying knee, and OC follows up with a suicide dive while Briscoe sets up the chair. Jericho cuts him off and hits a DVD onto the chair!

Bryan Keith tosses O’Reilly into the steel steps as we go to PIP. Jericho and Bill double team Mark Briscoe in the ring as Keith joins the fun too. Body slam from Jericho, Keith is poised on the middle rope but OC rolls out of the way. Jericho again slams him as Keith prepares to dive, but OC once more slowly rolls to the other side of the ring. Jericho tries one more body slam, but OC evades it…only to walk into a huge boot from Big Bill! Boss Man Slam to O’Reilly follows. Briscoe is a house of fire taking on the Learning Tree, but Big Bill comes in for Big Bill Kung Fu. He misses a splash in the corner, Briscoe capitalizes with a dropkick off the middle rope. Codebreaker with a chair by Jericho! 1, 2, O’Reilly makes the save.

OC sits Jericho on a chair, sits Keith on top of him too, and OC and Kyle wail away with kicks. Big Bill puts a stop to all of that, and gets some big cheers from the crowd. O’Reilly and Bill fight to the apron, with Kyle kicking away at him. Orange Punch connects, and Bill drops off the apron onto Keith! Jericho in with some chairshots, Briscoe counters and finally hits the chair-assisted senton to the outside, knocking Jericho down. Briscoe pulls out a table and slides it in the ring. Rollup by Jericho for 2, Briscoe straight up into a Jay Driller! He signals for the table, lays Jericho out on it and climbs the ropes. Froggy Bow through the table…no, Bill is there to meet him! Chokeslam through the table! 1, 2, 3!

Claudio and Pac try to celebrate with Yuta, but he bats their hands away and heads off up the ramp on his own.

Lexy Nair is with Kris Statlander backstage, saying we haven’t heard from Kris Statlander since winning at All Out. Statlander isn’t that insecure, you wouldn’t even be able to dream up someone as good as her. She calls her shots, and when she’s ready, she’ll let you know.

MxM Collection have arrived! There’s a cloak covering something in the ring. Mansoor asks if everyone is ready for the finale of New York Fashion Week. They introduce each other and touch tips. Mansoor explains why they took Caster’s ring jacket the other week, especially as it was emblazoned with a lie, that lie being that Max is the best wrestler in the world. Mansoor introduces the Grand Slam Fashion Walk. Some jobbers come out for the fashion walk…this shouldn’t work, but MxM are so entertaining.

Now the ‘main event’, the finest body they could find. From the forests of Dusseldorf…Hans. He shows off Max Caster’s new jacket, which has a heart cut out over the chest, and the text ‘Best Dressed Alive’. Mansoor says he loves the jacket, but he wants him to take it off. The model is ripped and he poses a little. Mansoor says Hans would be perfect for MxM Collection, and it would be an honor if he touched tips with them. Hans grabs the tips though…and it’s Billy Gunn!

Daddy Ass goes to town on them, and all the models enter the ring to attack him. They all hold Gunn back, but the Acclaimed arrive to clean house to a rather muted pop. Double team moves to the models, and Caster puts the jacket on before scissoring with his partners.

Winner: Hangman Aam Page

Time: 9:37

Rating: **3/4 – This very much felt like a midcard match, lacking some of the intensity that I would have expected. The lumberjack stuff was reasonably entertaining but didn’t add all that much, and I’m not sure what we gained here. 

Page hangs Juice over the ropes after the match until the Gunns run him off. Page tells them not to ever get in his business.

AEW Continental Title Eliminator Match – Continental Rules : Kazuchika Okada vs. Sammy Guevara

Okada gives Guevara a clean break in the ropes in the early goings. Snapmare/basement dropkick combination connects for the champion, but just gets a 1 count.

Enziguri to the back of the head, springboards in, but Okada catches him with the Rainmaker out of nowhere, 1, 2, 3.

Winner: Kazuchika Okada

Time: 12:26

Rating: ***1/2 – Guevara was on form here, pulling out his death-defying offense and taking a beating. It was more of a Sammy showcase, with Okada predominantly there to cut him off at each crescendo, and that worked pretty well. Plus, we once again see just how unstoppable the Rainmaker is as a finisher as we work up to Okada’s next challenger.

Okada holds his championship aloft, and just like that we are out of time. Sheesh, not a second to spare! That’s it for tonight, folks. Have a great week!

AEW Collision Grand Slam Live Coverage 9/28 – Two Titles On The Line, Lumberjack Strap Match

Jamie Hayter comes down, but Harley Cameron is on the mic. She says there’s one more rule this evening: the match does not begin until Saraya “slaps the slag.” Hayter offers her face willingly, shoves Cameron, then takes the slap. Hayter takes the advantage and stomps Saraya in the corner, but she’s fighting Cameron as well so it’s basically a handicap match. Hayter manages to get to the outside, where she delivers a kick to Saraya and rolls her into the ring. Cameron grabs Hayter’s leg, however, and while she’s distracted, Saraya hits Hayter with a VCR, then proceeds to hit her while she’s down with a keyboard. Saraya wraps the keyboard cord around Hayter’s neck and chokes her for a while before going for a pinfall, but Hayter kicks out at one.

No word on when that got set up.

Hayter fights back and takes out Cameron, then throws Saraya into the barricade. She throws Saraya back in the ring and celebrates, Saraya goes for a basement dropkick but Hayter catches her.
