Following this past episode of Dynamite, AEW Continental Classic Tournament 2023 continued on this week’s episode of Collision, last night that took place in Erie, Pennsylvania. Three Blue League matches from the announced card, went down on the shows where Bryan Danielson returned to action. Former WWE Star Andrade El Idolo also participated in the first match of the tourney.

Claudio Castagnoli and Brody King won their AEW Continental Classic Tournament 2023 matches on last week’s Collision, and they wrestled in the opening bout of the show. In that physical bout, King defeated Castagnoli to add some more points to his arsenal. Castagnoli went for a springboard maneuver off the ropes but King connected with a right punch followed by a Piledriver to gain six more points in the Blue League.

In the second match of Collision for the AEW Continental Classic Tournament 2023, Andrade El Idolo wrestled Daniel Garcia. El Idolo hit Garcia with a Flatliner hammerlock DDT, countering a Sharpshooter attempt to gain his first three points in the tournament. The two shook hands after the match to show respect to each other.
