AEW Dynamite and Collision Results, Winners, Live Grades, Reaction, Highlights Before All Out

Before we head to All Out this weekend, AEW gave us a special combined three-hour Dynamite and Collision as the go-home show.

Here's a look at what AEW advertised for Wednesday's show:

• The New Level and Swerve Strickland vs. The Demand (Trios Titles)
• Persephone vs. Hyan (TBS Title)
• Will Ospreay and Mike Bailey vs. Gabe Kidd and Claudio Castagnoli
• Jon Moxley vs. Dezmond Xavier (Continental Title Eliminator)
• Brawling Birds and Divine Dominion face-to-face meeting

Let's take a look at what happened on this week's combined Dynamite and Collision.

Swerve and New Level vs. The Demand (Trios Titles)

Dynamite opened up with the announcers running down the card for the night before we went to a backstage promo from The Demand. We also got a quick promo from Prince Nana, Swerve, Kofi and Austin Creed before both teams went to the ring for the opening contest.

The Trios Championships were on the line, and whichever team left Dynamite with the belts would head into All Out to defend against Adam Page and Brodido.

AEW has done a good job injecting some life into the trios division recently, and these two teams are a great representation of what this division can be if booked properly.

Swerve and Ricochet started the match by trading punches, but it didn't take long before they started incorporating some fast-paced offense. Swerve and New Level were especially efficient with some of their triple-team attacks.

All six men contributed to a fun match, but knowing what all of them are capable of, we couldn't help but feel like they were holding back a bit. The match was good, but it took a while before it felt like they were doing anything truly exciting.

The second half picked up quite a bit as the fight spilled out of the ring, but they ended up going a little too fast in some spots and made mistakes that stood out. Swerve and New Level secured the win to retain their titles after a fun final sequence.

Hangman and Brodido came out to confront the champions and hype their match for All Out.

Result: Swerve and New Level defeated The Demand

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

• It's so easy to forget that Christian Cage was the reason Gates of Agony turned on Swerve.
• Kofi and Creed have a different level of chemistry than most teams in AEW. Other than the Bucks, few duos have the kind of experience they have as partners. They can almost read each other's minds.
• The Doomsday Device GOA used on Swerve looked good.
• Kofi and Kaun had a very awkward spot late in the match. It was hard to tell what was supposed to happen.
• The way Kaun set himself up for Swerve's double stomp from the apron looked way too contrived.
