AEW Dynamite, Collision Results, Winners, Live Grades, Reaction, Highlights Before Full Gear
Welcome to Bleacher Report's coverage of AEW Dynamite and Collision on November 11.
Here is a look at what AEW advertised for the go-home show before Full Gear this weekend:
- FTR vs. MCMG (Final match in Best of 5 Series)
- Jay White and Mercedes Mone vs. Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir
- Brodido vs. New Level
- Tommaso Ciampa vs. Mike Bailey (National Championship)
Let's take a look at everything that happened on this week's combined Dynamite and Collision.
Face to Face
1 of 2
The show started with a Blood and Guts recap video before we saw a video of Will Ospreay talking to the team after last week's loss. Adam Copeland explained why he submitted before storming off.
The first segment of the night was the face-to-face meeting between Kyle Fletcher and Will Ospreay ahead of their world title match this weekend at Full Gear.
Fletcher reminded the crowd that this is the arena where he revealed his shaved head, which prompted a "You look stupid" chant from the fans.
The Protostar said Ospreay is responsible for setting him on this journey, and he actually thanked him, but when Will sounded sincere in his response, Fletcher said he misunderstood and listed all of the violent things he would do to Ospreay again if he had the chance.
The champ talked about Fletcher being responsible for the worst 10 months of his career before saying he is going to fight like his life is on the line at Full Gear. After some poking and prodding, Fletcher angrily admitted he was jealous of Ospreay.
This was much longer than most AEW talking segments, but that was not a bad thing. Fletcher and Ospreay had the crowd invested the entire time, and their years of shared history helped add to the drama.
Fletcher is absolutely a future world champion, and it wouldn't be surprising to see that happen this weekend. He carried this segment and actually elevated Ospreay on the mic. He sold every emotional beat perfectly. The way he promised to take everything from Ospreay was terrific.
This was one of the better AEW promo segments in recent memory.
Grade: A-
Notable Moments and Observations
- Copeland seemed to have doubts about his place in AEW.
- Fletcher is low-key one of the funnier people in AEW. If he ever turns babyface, he could become very popular with his sense of humor.
Brodido vs. New Level
2 of 2
Bandido and Brody King were hoping to gain some momentum with a win over New Level before their trios title defense at Full Gear against them and Swerve Strickland.
Kofi and Austin Creed wasted no time and attacked King and Bandido during their entrance. Brodido eventually gained control, and the match got started once they were all in the ring.
The feud between these teams has been elevated in recent weeks and made much more personal, and it has also elevated the trios titles to feel more important again, so this bout needed to be high-energy to keep that going ahead of the PPV.
Thankfully, AEW had three great high-flyers and one big powerhouse who were up to the task. The match ended in a double countout, but it didn't stop there. Brody and Bandido set up a table next to the ring, but their plan to put Kofi through it was thwarted at the last moment.
Kofi ended up diving off the stage and putting King through the table while Creed and Bandido brawled on the stage and took out several members of security.
A double countout is almost never the ideal ending for a match, but this is one of the rare situations where it works because it made the feud feel even more intense. The match wasn't very long, but they packed in a lot.
Result: Double Countout
Grade: B
Notable Moments and Observations
- It was very smart to get this match started with some chaos after spending the first 30 minutes of the show on a talking segment.
- The rolling fisherman's buster from Creed was an impressive display of power. He had no leverage and still picked up Bandido with ease.
