Darby Allin beat Hechicero to retain the TNT Championship and qualify for WrestleDream’s Clockwork Carnage during the “AEW Collision” portion of Wednesday’s show.
The final spot of seven challengers for Will Ospreay’s AEW World Championship this weekend was determined in the main event, with Allin also putting his title on the line like Kazuchika Okada had done against Myron Reed earlier on in the show.
Hechicero started the match off at the advantage thanks to his grappling and the injured, strapped up leg of Allin presenting a target. Allin fought his way into the bout with dirtier tactics, biting at the hand of Hechicero against the ropes as the action went to the outside of the ring.
Allin was then driven face-first into the barricade before getting monkey flipped back into it. Hechicero continued to make use of the barricade, swinging Allin into it, before Bryce Remsburg yelled at him to bring things back into the ring.
It was Allin who took things to the outside again, hitting a tope followed by a Coffin Drop to a standing Hechicero. Then he waited for him to return to the ring, hitting another Coffin Drop, followed by another, to secure the winning pinfall.
Allin joins Okada, Samoa Joe, Adam Copeland, Konosuke Takeshita, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, and Ricochet in the match.
