AEW Collision opened with Tony Schiavone welcoming fans from the Boston Fenway Music Hall alongside special guest commentator Paul Wight, who brought plenty of personality to the broadcast.
The opening contest saw former Christian Cage protégés collide as “Jungle” Jack Perry battled Nick Wayne in a competitive matchup between two young stars looking to prove themselves.
The match began with a technical exchange as both men traded holds and counters before Perry gained momentum with a dropkick that sent Wayne crashing to the floor. Perry followed up with a baseball slide and kept the pressure on until Wayne turned the tide by raking the eyes and driving Perry head-first into the steel ring steps.
After the commercial break, Perry continued his assault with a top-rope leg drop, but Wayne refused to stay down. Wayne fought back with an enzuigiri, a full-nelson suplex, and a devastating dive through the ropes that saw him hit a destroyer on the floor.
Wayne nearly scored the victory with a Fisherman Buster and attempted to hit Wayne’s World, but Perry escaped and countered with a German suplex. Perry then connected with a running knee strike to secure the three-count.
Winner: Jungle Jack Perry
