00:00:00Welcome everyone to Slam Dunk Saturday.
00:00:03AEW Collision is on the air for Fresno, California.
00:00:06You've just been enjoying, of course, the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
00:00:11And we continue here from Fresno with Collision.
00:00:17The following contest has a 20 minute time limit.
00:00:22And it's an open challenge for the TNT Championship.
00:00:27Introducing first touch challenger from Sydney, Australia, weighed 80 kilograms, Robbie Eagles.
00:00:38The case here of teacher against student and the TNT Championship is on the line.
00:00:44Tony Chivani and Nigel McGinnis here ringside.
00:00:50Robbie Eagles.
00:00:53A 19 year veteran from Australia, one of Kyle Fletcher's original trainers in Australia.
00:01:02And here comes the Proto Star.
00:01:07And his opponent from Sydney, Australia, weighed 249 pounds.
00:01:14He is the TNT Champion, the Proto Star, Kyle Fletcher.
00:01:27Well, we're going to take you back now to AEW House Rules Australia in Brisbane.
00:01:34Earlier this year, Robbie Eagles, as you can see, a hometown, heroes welcomed, picking up a huge victory here.
00:01:44First of all, seeing some offense.
00:01:45And there, the aggression to the agility.
00:01:49And that is a very impressive victory over Mark Davis, former tag team partner in Aussie Express with the Proto
00:01:59Star.
00:01:59You mentioned earlier, though, being the original trainer of Kyle Fletcher, Robbie Eagles, has a hand in so many Australian
00:02:09superstars, trainers.
00:02:13The true veteran of the Australian game, the Aussie standard.
00:02:17And also a man who likes to go by the moniker of the Limb Reaper.
00:02:22Known for picking a body part apart.
00:02:26So, certainly, Fletcher will have to be careful of that.
00:02:29Fletcher, of course, yes, he is still the TNT Champion.
00:02:34But after Revolution, Tony, no longer a Trios Champion.
00:02:39Jet Set Mystico now hold the Trio's titles.
00:02:44And we will see the new Trio's Champions in our main event coming up on Slam Dunk Sunday.
00:02:50But right now for the TNT Championship and a few reminders before we get on the way here on this
00:02:55Saturday night.
00:02:56Coming up Wednesday night, live on Dynamite, on TBS, Swerve Strickland, Kenny Omega.
00:03:02The last time those two men battled, it was crazy.
00:03:04And this time, Swerve puts the number one contendership on the line against Kenny Omega and his EBP status.
00:03:10We understand also that world champion MJF will be with us on Wednesday as well as both men go back
00:03:17to the corner.
00:03:17And just signed by Tony Khan, Roosh will be taking on Darby Allin.
00:03:25Interesting, though, that, of course, Darby Allin has put his name in the hat, so to speak, to get a
00:03:31world title shot.
00:03:33MJF, as we saw recently, paid off the Don Callis family to take care of Darby Allin.
00:03:39Roosh himself obviously wants a world title shot.
00:03:42But we'll try to take care of Darby Allin himself, and that is coming up Wednesday.
00:03:46What a loaded card we have coming up on Wednesday.
00:03:50But right now, let's get back to this matchup.
00:03:52By the way, Roosh will be coming up in just a few moments.
00:03:55LFI in a big trios match.
00:03:58But right now, Cal Fletcher working on the arm here, staying focused in this title matchup.
00:04:07This simple wrist look from Fletcher, who, with his size and height advantage, will have a leverage advantage against the
00:04:15Eagles.
00:04:15The Eagles here showing some agility again, as we saw.
00:04:20450 splash from Australia.
00:04:23Highly affected, but he's going to have to weaken the protestar a lot to be able to hit that.
00:04:37Fletcher, though, a moment to think about things.
00:04:41Fletcher certainly has respect for his former teacher.
00:04:46Eagles, who used to team with Will Ospreay as the birds of prey.
00:04:51Oh, look at him.
00:04:52Let me talk about.
00:04:55Oh, whoa.
00:04:58Pick up and a hard slam.
00:05:00Thank you to remind you that this Wednesday, Dynamite is coming to the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, Minnesota.
00:05:06Next Saturday, we are going to be in the Alliant Energy Powerhouse.
00:05:10Night's Alive for Collision Live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
00:05:13Then we're going to Canada on Wednesday, April 1st.
00:05:16In Winnipeg, we're not in my inclination.
00:05:18That wins April 8th.
00:05:19In Edmonton for Dynamite and Collision at the Rogers Center.
00:05:22Don't forget Dynasty, the big pay-per-view.
00:05:24Sunday, April 12th at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
00:05:27Tickets at AEWTIX.com.
00:05:33Already one match announced for Dinah's team for the World Tag Team Championship.
00:05:37Hope and Christian will take on FTR in Vancouver.
00:05:42The Eagles right now looking pretty sharp.
00:05:46He's done well to offset the size and the leverage advantage of Fletcher.
00:05:52Fletcher may be a little bit concerned, I think, perhaps.
00:05:55You know, sometimes this has got to take Fletcher back to when he started in the wrestling business, perhaps.
00:06:01Somebody didn't have the confidence that he had, but now that he's been here in AEW, he's had the success
00:06:07that he has.
00:06:09Robbie Eagles up top, trying to hurrican run up, but caught by the big champ.
00:06:13And a pick-up, but it may be lagger bombing.
00:06:16Nope.
00:06:17How about this?
00:06:19It was a tilted world backbreaker and holding on to Robbie Eagles.
00:06:22And now a full Nelson's pick-up to a side slam.
00:06:26And this match for the TNQ Championship continues on Slam Dark Saddleway.
00:06:40This mocking the crowd here who, let's be honest, it's hard not to respect and love this man.
00:06:54You're a big fan of Carl Fletcher, aren't you?
00:06:56Well, because he's a great wrestler, I agree with that.
00:06:59Explain you buying that Fletch light for Christmas.
00:07:04What's that?
00:07:05No, whatsoever, I overheard you.
00:07:07Right now, I'm overhearing Carl Fletcher just talking trash to his former teacher.
00:07:25Fletcher, as we mentioned before, certainly can't have been happy with the outcome at Revolution.
00:07:35The trio's champions.
00:07:38What about this past week?
00:07:40On Dynamite.
00:07:41Ooh.
00:07:42Speedball, Mike Bailey, picking up a very impressive victory.
00:07:47Yeah, and Speedball was knocked around a lot and still came away with a win.
00:07:53To show you his determination, tenacity, whatever you want to say.
00:07:58And his resilience, and that is what Eagles has got to show here.
00:08:05Along with Nigel McGinnis, it's Tony Schiavone.
00:08:08We are ringside on collision on this Slam Dunk Saturday night.
00:08:13Right now, it is the TNT Championship on the line.
00:08:17Kyle Fletcher, the champion, against one of his teachers.
00:08:22And that's Robbie Eagle's basement dropkick on the knee that time.
00:08:28Got the big man off his feet, which obviously is a very sound strategy.
00:08:32And Kyle's hurt here.
00:08:33Look at this.
00:08:34Yeah, I mentioned earlier, the moniker of the Limery, but Robbie Eagles, not being the biggest
00:08:42or the strongest man in the sport today has learned from the very best, picking up technical
00:08:50aspects of the game from Zach Sable Jr., no less, the leader of TNDK.
00:08:56Whoa!
00:08:57Like Larry at that time, a couple of great back leg front kicks by, there's another one,
00:09:03running off of the ropes by Eagles.
00:09:06Robbie, Robbie, Robbie, he's back in this match now as the TNT champion.
00:09:13He looks to get a little bit of rest play in the corner, but instead, Eagles takes aim.
00:09:22There he goes.
00:09:23Oh!
00:09:24With both knees.
00:09:26No, I think he's been caught here by Fletcher.
00:09:28And he looks like it.
00:09:30Fletcher refusing to let it go, and the face of Robbie Eagles tells it all.
00:09:36Yes, it does.
00:09:37As he goes up, no.
00:09:39I thought maybe a powerbomb that time, but nope.
00:09:42Pick up.
00:09:44Sliced bread.
00:09:45Take a bite.
00:09:46One, two.
00:09:50Coming up close for Eagles now.
00:09:53Focusing on the previously injured limb.
00:09:58Left knee.
00:10:00A couple of kicks in the back of the leg to the hamstring and then twisting onto the knee.
00:10:05He's going to do it again.
00:10:06Maybe a figure four kicked off.
00:10:08That time by the champ.
00:10:10Look at Fletcher.
00:10:10He can barely stand.
00:10:14Oh, Eagles again.
00:10:16Down low with that drop kick.
00:10:18Big thrust kick.
00:10:19Side of the head.
00:10:21Eagles, this time, Nigel is pointing to the turnbuckle.
00:10:24Right.
00:10:25Could be perhaps looking for that 450 splash that we saw him hit in Australia.
00:10:29Yeah, perhaps.
00:10:31Is Fletcher playing possum?
00:10:33Is he lying in weight?
00:10:35Yes, he is.
00:10:35But wow.
00:10:36What an adaptation.
00:10:38Get him, man.
00:10:39Oh, God.
00:10:41One, two.
00:10:43Go.
00:10:44Well, Eagles able to adapt mid-flight to avoid splattering on the 450, but could not avoid a Nick Shinoku
00:10:57driver from Fletcher.
00:11:00But Fletcher's very upset as he thought it was over.
00:11:04And now blaming Paul Turner for what happened.
00:11:09But it wasn't Paul Turner's fault.
00:11:11He was right on target.
00:11:12Robbie Eagles, grit and determination.
00:11:16Refusing to go quietly into the night.
00:11:20Let's look at Fletcher now.
00:11:22Seemingly unconcerned.
00:11:26With the risk that Eagles poses.
00:11:31Train me.
00:11:32Come on.
00:11:33Train me.
00:11:34Come on.
00:11:36Kyle's getting fired up and Robbie Eagles is up to the task.
00:11:40He's hammering the big champ.
00:11:44Fletcher is in trouble.
00:11:45He's dangling right now.
00:11:46Well, maybe not.
00:11:48Well, half and half from Kyle Fletcher.
00:11:51He just ate all those blows by Robbie Eagles and came out looking great.
00:11:56Fletcher said, train me to Robbie Eagles.
00:12:00Instead, it was Fletcher who taught Eagles a lesson.
00:12:03Oh!
00:12:04Eagles move.
00:12:05Fletcher, the leg.
00:12:06Oh!
00:12:07How about that?
00:12:09There he code kicked from the bottom.
00:12:11And again, a drop kick onto the limb.
00:12:14Focusing on the left leg.
00:12:16Here we go.
00:12:17Rolling it over.
00:12:18The reverse figure four.
00:12:20The Eagles likes to call the Ron Miller special.
00:12:24That doesn't mean anything to me either, but it certainly means a lot to Kyle Fletcher,
00:12:28whose face is etched in agony.
00:12:32Oh, look at that.
00:12:33Fans who followed Australian wrestling know that Ron Miller was a great star in the 60s and the 70s.
00:12:42Oh, he's right.
00:12:43Is he tapping?
00:12:47Wow, for a second now, I thought Kyle Fletcher was tapping more than a kid on St. Patrick's day.
00:12:56He was reaching for the ropes, but the hands were slapping the mat.
00:13:01Here goes Robbie Eagles!
00:13:04Tumbling through the ropes.
00:13:07Connecting out conflict.
00:13:08What a great opening match for the TNT Championship here on Slam Dunk Saturday.
00:13:14What a great opening for Robbie Eagles.
00:13:17He really had nothing to lose here going into this match against his former pupil.
00:13:22Oh, but watch this.
00:13:24Oh, look at the knee now.
00:13:27The knee.
00:13:28Oh!
00:13:30Somehow.
00:13:32Oh, God!
00:13:35Suplex into the turnbuckle pads.
00:13:37Robbie Eagles going to go up top.
00:13:39He's going to have to adjust.
00:13:40Oh, no, he's not brilliant.
00:13:43Aiming for the damaged leg.
00:13:45Absolutely.
00:13:46Robbie knows what he's doing.
00:13:48Oh, roll up by Kyle.
00:13:49One, two.
00:13:51No, Kyle's still got it.
00:13:54Robbie Eagles trying to brainbuster that time, but Eagles...
00:13:57Crouching.
00:13:59Watch out.
00:14:01Oh!
00:14:02He didn't get all of it.
00:14:04One of the benefits of being Carl Fletcher's height.
00:14:07That's a good deterrent to the poison runner, but looking for the sliced bread.
00:14:13Oh, no bread in the bin this time.
00:14:17Robbie Eagles, a couple of thrust kicks that time.
00:14:20Pele kick, if you will.
00:14:23And Robbie Eagles.
00:14:26Staggering to get to the turnbuckles.
00:14:28What's he going to do here?
00:14:30He's going to go down.
00:14:32Oh, and go down hard.
00:14:34Now the pickup.
00:14:36Oh, boy.
00:14:37The buckle bomb middle turnbuckle.
00:14:40Kyle Fletcher trying to get his leg back into it.
00:14:43Runs with a kick.
00:14:45Pickup could be the brainbuster.
00:14:47It is.
00:14:48Shitter dropped brainbuster.
00:14:50One, two.
00:14:51Kyle Fletcher still the chance.
00:14:55Here's your winner, and still, the TNT champion, the Proto Star, Kyle Fletcher.
00:15:06Kyle Fletcher, the student beats the teacher here on Slammed Up Saturday.
00:15:12And he just can't stop talking.
00:15:17All right.
00:15:18He says he's the greatest.
00:15:19Right now, standing by, John Huxley and Pac and the Death Riders.
00:15:25The aerial assassin is back in the game.
00:15:33And he's got some big feelings.
00:15:37He said he's going to break somebody's neck with his bare hands.
00:15:42Hear him say that?
00:15:43I think he meant my neck.
00:15:49How's that?
00:15:51Post to go?
00:15:53No.
00:15:54Nothing like that's going to be happening.
00:15:56We could talk about why you got put in time out for a little while, but I don't think you
00:16:02would get it anyway.
00:16:05Will Ospreay.
00:16:07So talented.
00:16:11I just hope he can keep himself out of trouble.
00:16:13But if you're determined to put yourself back in the hospital.
00:16:21William, William, William.
00:16:24I don't even know what your beef is with me.
00:16:28Hitting me with pale air kicks.
00:16:30Cracking me with a yang time.
00:16:33For absolutely no reason at all.
00:16:36Now, Will.
00:16:37I wasn't even here when whatever happened to you, happened to you.
00:16:45But hey, the truth is, we've never really gotten on, have we, Ospreay?
00:16:50From the moment I shook your hand, I knew you were a prick.
00:16:55So if this is a path that you wish to tread once again, well, hey, I'm no sly guy, William.
00:17:03All you had to do was ask.
00:17:06And I'll be there.
00:17:10Grateful for the opportunity to get my grubby little mitts around your neck.
00:17:21Will Ospreay, obviously, in the sights of the Death Riders, most notably Jon Moxley and the Bastard Matt, as we
00:17:29go back in the ring.
00:17:30The following trios contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:17:47And their opponents, Tom Kubrick, Lucas Raleigh, and Alpha, so.
00:18:04I must have missed that phrase in naturalization classes.
00:18:09Katie Bar the Door.
00:18:11You know, you've never heard that term?
00:18:14No, I never have.
00:18:16You can explain it to me later.
00:18:18All I know, LFI.
00:18:20You can explain it to me later.
00:18:22All I know, LFI, one of the most fearsome trios that I've seen.
00:18:29And, of course, Roosh, the leader of the trios.
00:18:34And Roosh and Darby Alley will go up on Wednesday night.
00:18:38One-on-one on Dynamite live on TBS from St. Paul, Minnesota.
00:18:44What a match that should be.
00:18:48Drilistico, very proud of his Mexican heritage here.
00:18:52He's on the West Coast, he's strong.
00:18:56Now, Lucas Raleigh feels he's ready to go.
00:18:58Drilistico just smoothed out of the way, calmly.
00:19:02Drilistico, the heater.
00:19:04More calm if there is such a thing of LFI.
00:19:09Now this is starting out.
00:19:11That's quite a shocking statement.
00:19:13The speed of Drilistico, watch him go.
00:19:16Probably share a little bit of speed, too, but he goes down hard with the hands of Roelicier.
00:19:21Look at that.
00:19:23Phenomenal shape.
00:19:24Got to be, I would guess, about 6-7% body fat.
00:19:29Do you know what it takes to stay in that sort of shape, Tony?
00:19:33No, I have no idea.
00:19:34Oh, great attention to your diet, cardio.
00:19:43Roosh just relies on violence.
00:19:46Not to say that Roosh is in a phenomenal shape of himself.
00:19:50Lucas Raleigh being triple-teamed here.
00:19:52Roosh flying in.
00:19:54What a goal, Drace, and Dale goes.
00:20:00Riley.
00:20:05The new trios champions might have a team waiting in the wings.
00:20:11We're just going to say the same thing.
00:20:13We have new trios champs, Mystico, and, of course, Jet Speed.
00:20:18As, unfortunately, Doc Kubrick is coming in and going out.
00:20:23And now, AlphaZo gets head-butted for his troubles.
00:20:31Drop sleeves.
00:20:33Oh, wait a second.
00:20:34Over the top!
00:20:36Drace to Cole!
00:20:41This is exactly what we expected.
00:20:44Domination from LFA.
00:20:54And they're not done yet.
00:20:55Look at the big guy up on top.
00:20:58It is the beach model!
00:21:00Oh, jeez.
00:21:01Off top with a tornado splash.
00:21:03One, two, three.
00:21:05This match is over!
00:21:08Here are your winners, the Fox Steelers and Kovac Navi!
00:21:14Winners, not just Lucas Raleigh.
00:21:19And a dominant victory tonight.
00:21:23Nigel dominant is the correct word.
00:21:27And a big trios win.
00:21:29The team of Roots, Trowlings, Chico, and Viz Mordos
00:21:34dominate the ring here on Slam Dunk Saturday night.

00:33:09One can make an argument that the triangle of madness came into 2026 as strong as ever.
00:33:19That's a bit as well.
00:33:20Yeah, Jamie Hayter had stepped in the ring daring.
00:33:23Sky Blue took a swing.
00:33:25Boy, the Sky Blue did.
00:33:26Knocked her down.
00:33:27Meanwhile as the referee looks the other way as Hader screaming out to
00:33:32Mike Posey a double team here in the corner and right now as we look at Hader
00:33:39Windsor is fighting out
00:33:43Didn't think twice about as soon as you ducked wins up immediately might detect
00:33:49Oh
00:33:55Two birds with one shot who was there right good call and look at this
00:34:02But she gets shelved to one corner Jamie Hayley comes at all running the lariat. Here's
00:34:13Hater hits hard
00:34:20You
00:34:57You
00:35:19We continue here on collision. It is slam dunk Saturday Tony Nigel rip
00:35:26for the hater right
00:35:29But Julie Hart got the knees up and now both members sisters of sin a boot to the mech section
00:35:35of Windsor
00:35:37Windsor fires back
00:35:40Down low and high
00:35:42Low and high
00:35:42Tried a pumpkin by the knees that time of sky blue got up
00:35:46Windsor's shown some strong kicking ability in this match wait a second look at the sky blue, but instead go
00:35:52for the back slide no
00:35:53No, no fell through hater try
00:35:57Sky blue is up to the test
00:35:59Sky blue is up to the test
00:36:00Pick up
00:36:00Black and blue
00:36:04No doubt this has been a very very physical matchup
00:36:09Jamie hater as you see
00:36:12Windsor trying to get up
00:36:14Tag is made and here she comes sky blue is still down
00:36:19There's a pickup
00:36:22Watch out
00:36:25The bowling birds were looking for their finishing maneuver
00:36:27Two birds one stone
00:36:29Instead this could be a sister ectomy
00:36:34Face first goes Windsor, Windsor goes down hard
00:36:40That's just Jamie hater
00:36:43And now Julia Hart
00:36:46From the apron of the ring and here comes sky blue with a running knee
00:36:51One two
00:36:53No sir didn't get it
00:36:55She's pretty angry
00:36:57Well fans biggest show of the year
00:36:59AEW all-in London is set to take place at Wembley Stadium over the bank holiday weekend
00:37:04It'll be Sunday August 30th
00:37:06Remember we said global history in the iconic venue not too long ago
00:37:11Tickets are now on sale
00:37:12Go to awtix.com or ticketmaster.co.uk
00:37:20Right now the British champion Alex Windsor
00:37:23Taking sky blue to the top
00:37:25Blue's legs on the inside
00:37:27So it's going to be difficult to complete a superplex from this position
00:37:31That's a great call
00:37:35Wouldn't have mattered because sky blue fighting away
00:37:37Up to the top
00:37:40Yeah sky blue
00:37:41This kid's a fighter man
00:37:42Oh no look at this
00:37:45Avalanche pass
00:37:47One, two
00:37:48It's Jamie hater with a save
00:37:50The only way she saved it
00:37:52For the birds
00:37:53Sky blue
00:37:55Talk about code blue from the top
00:37:58But instead opting for the power bump
00:38:01Arguably just as effective
00:38:04Not concerned about the past now
00:38:06Looking to the future
00:38:07And picking up a big victory against the brawling birds
00:38:11Look at Windsor fight back
00:38:12Just a real kick that time
00:38:14Whoa, blue thunder
00:38:15Didn't even try for a pinfall attempt
00:38:18Good forearm shot by Windsor that time
00:38:21And she will make a tag
00:38:22Over to Jamie hater
00:38:23Now these two the brawling birds
00:38:26Certainly a threat to the world tag team championship
00:38:29Don't forget Tekla
00:38:30Going up against me to share a couple on Wednesday for the world championship
00:38:35Oh
00:38:36Julia Hart down
00:38:38Second attempt
00:38:39Two birds
00:38:40With one stop
00:38:41Boom and down goes Julia Hart
00:38:45One, two, three
00:38:47And it is over
00:38:51You're the winner
00:38:52The brawling birds
00:38:56A big big victory for the brawling birds
00:38:59A rising tag team in the women's division
00:39:02And of course Jamie hater former women's world champion
00:39:05And the british women's champion
00:39:08Alex Windsor
00:39:09Right now let's send it to Lexi there
00:39:13Brody King this past Sunday at Revolution
00:39:15You and Swerve Strickland had an extremely violent and personal battle
00:39:19And
00:39:19And it's because of Kenny Omega that I'm standing here today
00:39:22And Kenny for that I owe you one
00:39:25And Swerve after Kenny mops the floor with you
00:39:29This is far from over
00:39:31But for now
00:39:32The hunt for championship gold continues
00:39:35Hoo
00:40:02The hunt for championship gold once
00:40:09This is
00:40:20How
00:40:3115
00:46:02And
00:48:54Certainly a faster-moving opponent, but as is Dorada.
00:49:02Yeah, Dorada who owns two CMLL championships, world trios,
00:49:08and the CMLL World Historic Welterweight Championship.
00:49:13Great sliding dropkick by the masked man that time.
00:49:17To the midsection cover.
00:49:18And barely a one count, and desperately Garcia getting over to make the tag.
00:49:25Pretty good when you can tag in a guy the size and the power of Claudio Castagnoli.
00:49:31That's what you want to do.
00:49:33That should have always been the strategy of the Death Riders from the outset,
00:49:37and certainly Castagnoli far more efficient at getting it done, Tony.
00:49:44Dorada got the foot up, tag.
00:49:47Did you see that?
00:49:48Yeah, just readjusting his neck, Castagnoli after it.
00:49:54Now, a flurry of kicks to the side of his skull.
00:49:58Staggering the big match.
00:50:01Double dropkick, using the top rope as a springboard.
00:50:04And now here comes Daniel Garcia, and you're talking about a man who wants to get his hands on Garcia.
00:50:08If we go back to on Sunday, Garcia, whoa, watch out.
00:50:13Good Lord.
00:50:15Dived right into the European uppercut.
00:50:17What's up, Dorada?
00:50:19Talk more about it in the moment.
00:50:20Oh, my God.
00:50:21Dorada, he caught him in mid-air.
00:50:24Oh, my God.
00:50:25It throws him up and down.
00:50:29Incredible power, watch out.
00:50:32A running knee.
00:50:33And we're back.
00:50:35This mid-event continues our collision.
00:50:41Well, that has certainly changed the complexion of this and of Garcia again.
00:50:46What y'all know about any of that right then?
00:50:49Yeah.
00:50:51Certainly has to feel confident.
00:50:53You know, there's strength in numbers.
00:50:56When the numbers of the Death Riders, well, you saw what happened this past week on Dynamite.
00:51:01Will Ospreay calling out the man that put him on the shelf, Jon Moxley.
00:51:05One, three, and for a second, it looked like he was going to get a modicum of payback until Pat
00:51:11came in and brutalized Ospreay, who, I don't know, I didn't get a medical update, Tony, but he's certainly not
00:51:20at 100% now.
00:51:21But certainly, he let his emotions carry in the way.
00:51:25We all knew that if you're going to attack Jon Moxley, there's going to be others you have to contend
00:51:30with.
00:51:31You've got to stick and move.
00:51:35Pastor Noly now, methodical, deliberate offense.
00:51:41Garcia, a little bit faster, more erratic.
00:51:47The younger buck, if you will, of the group.
00:51:51Not to use a punt.
00:51:53There he goes again, going for the mask.
00:51:58Pump kick.
00:52:01And then standing on.
00:52:03You know, fans, look at this, down goes Dorada.
00:52:07Fans despise Wheeler Uda, and they're getting to the point where they feel the same thing about Danny Garcia.
00:52:13It's interesting, isn't it, really, you guys?
00:52:15I don't think there's any question that they are the junior members of the team, to put it mildly.
00:52:21Here, Robinson might say, you are the weakest link, but either way, you can certainly see by Castagnoli, Moxley, Ampak,
00:52:33have the more confidence of the unit.
00:52:37But Shafia, good Lord.
00:52:41Kick in the back of the head.
00:52:42Look up confidence in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Marina Shafia.
00:52:46Yeah, she's something else, man.
00:52:47We talked about this on Wednesday, how she just fears no one.
00:52:51And I'm talking about no woman, no man, and she's gone face-to-face with some of the biggest.
00:52:59Pick up.
00:53:01Great, but a suplex by Claudio.
00:53:03Floats over one, two.
00:53:05Not a bad penny combination.
00:53:06Excellent execution from Castagnoli.
00:53:10Grabbing the neck, as well as the leg, as Dorada now trying to will on the crowd here in Fresno.
00:53:21Commander.
00:53:24He suffered a very difficult start to life.
00:53:29We talked about it before.
00:53:35Incredible life story.
00:53:36Nearly dying twice when he was born.
00:53:39His mother prayed to God that if his son survived, he would do something special.
00:53:48Cover.
00:53:49One, two.
00:53:50With his life, and certainly, Commander of the Skies has done that.
00:53:56Thirty-fourth Ring of Honor World Television Champion held it for 118 days.
00:54:02Right now, though, it's Dorada who's got to make some prayers.
00:54:08Yes!
00:54:09Garcia has done everything.
00:54:11Ain't no way!
00:54:15No way!
00:54:19They were about to find out.
00:54:25The main event here on Slam Dunk Saturday continues as Commander is fighting back against Danny Garcia,
00:54:32remembering on Sunday that Garcia ripped the mask off of Commander when we are at the Crypto.com Arena.
00:54:40But right now, he's got to worry about trying to make a comeback here against the Death Riders, Nigel.
00:54:46Well, forget about the comeback.
00:54:48He's got to get over and make a tag right now.
00:54:50Now, he has absorbed a lot of punishment as, once again, Garcia just holding in place.
00:54:56Wow.
00:54:58Come casting Noli with a dance of their own.
00:55:03Yikes!
00:55:04That big man getting a head of steam with that European uppercut.
00:55:09He is lethal.
00:55:11Got the eyes of Commander rolling around in his skull like marbles.
00:55:18Fans here in Fresno chanting, Commander, Commander.
00:55:23And meanwhile, Commander's in trouble here at the hands of one of the strongest ever in AEW.
00:55:31One of them.
00:55:32Dorada wants to get the tag.
00:55:34Obviously, he's the fresh man.
00:55:39Keen as proverbial mustard.
00:55:41Hold on a second.
00:55:43Commander slipped down.
00:55:44A couple of kicks.
00:55:45Could not break free, though, as he's manhandled into the neutral corner.
00:55:50Moved out of the way.
00:55:52Equilibrium on Commander.
00:55:54He was unaware of where his corner was.
00:55:59The Banderas put him on the apron.
00:56:02Up on top.
00:56:03Trying to work on Rana and was caught in mid-street.
00:56:07Oh, what a face buster.
00:56:10Desperation move that time by Commander.
00:56:13As Dorada wants in desperately.
00:56:16Fingerships away.
00:56:23Commander doing some great offense, but cannot seem to make it over to make the tag which he needs.
00:56:31He's got within a head's breath out here.
00:56:33There it is.
00:56:33There it is on both ends.
00:56:35Garcia and Dorada.
00:56:37Oh, beautiful arm drag.
00:56:39A tornillo arm drag up on top.
00:56:42Mascara Dorada hits the ropes.
00:56:45Ducks low.
00:56:46Pick up.
00:56:47And a tear of takeover.
00:56:49The Golden Mask looking pretty good here against Daniel Garcia.
00:56:54Mascara Dorada is incredible and now looks around.
00:56:58Looking for his partner.
00:57:00Yes, it is on the other corner.
00:57:02Well, whichever way they look, the Death Riders are in trouble.
00:57:07Watch this.
00:57:10Boatman up on top.
00:57:14Moonsaults from the top.
00:57:16Never seen anything like that ever here on Collision.
00:57:20Well, to be honest, that was a delight to see.
00:57:23Incredible agility.
00:57:25Just watch this.
00:57:26Meeting in the middle.
00:57:28Perfect stereo.
00:57:31Moonsaults from the top.
00:57:33And Garcia on his back.
00:57:35This could be the end.
00:57:36No, no, no, no.
00:57:38Moved in.
00:57:39But too early.
00:57:40That allowed Dorada the opportunity to capitalize.
00:57:43To move mid-flight to land his feet.
00:57:45And now Garcia.
00:57:48Face buster from a gory special.
00:57:50And a cover.
00:57:50One, two, three.
00:57:52No.
00:57:52Oh, it was so close.
00:57:54Dorada thought for sure.
00:57:56For sure he had the victory for his team.
00:57:58Garcia who kicked out strongly on one earlier in this match.
00:58:02Ever so close to the three there.
00:58:04Commander will get the tag back in.
00:58:06He's the legal man from behind.
00:58:08Thrust kick.
00:58:09Pick up.
00:58:10Double team up on top.
00:58:15Shooting stop.
00:58:17Press one, two.
00:58:18From a standing position.
00:58:19But it's Claudio Castanoli to break it up.
00:58:22Nice cohesion there by the Lucha Libre team.
00:58:27Forget about cohesion.
00:58:29Just adhesion.
00:58:30The bottom of Castanoli's boot to the midsection of Commander.
00:58:35Here's a double team.
00:58:36And fans, a reminder.
00:58:37There's a need of the midsection.
00:58:39Slam dunk Sunday is coming up tomorrow night right after NCAA basketball here on TNT.
00:58:44Another version of collision.
00:58:45And don't forget, here's a cover.
00:58:48One, two.
00:58:50On Dynamite on TBS on Wednesday night.
00:58:52Couple of big matches signed.
00:58:54Tekla takes on Mina Shirakawa.
00:58:57Swerve strickling against Kenny Omega.
00:58:59MJF will be in for a huge Dynamite.
00:59:01And Roosh will take on Jarby Allen as well.
00:59:07Garcia really got aggressive in this match.
00:59:10Gotta be honest.
00:59:13What do you think Garcia's found himself as a member of the Death Riders?
00:59:16I agree with that.
00:59:17But better or for worse.
00:59:20Commander open hand slap.
00:59:22Got a kick to the side of the head.
00:59:23Now Commander holding on.
00:59:25Springing off.
00:59:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:59:29Just adjusted himself.
00:59:31Yep.
00:59:32And the runner coming through.
00:59:35Commander up on top.
00:59:38One, two, three.
00:59:41Almost got the win.
00:59:46And a total world backbreaker.
00:59:49And the giant swing.
00:59:55Moving through it very quickly.
00:59:59That's it.
01:00:01One, two, three.
01:00:04It is over.
01:00:05Another win for the Death Riders.
01:00:07Here are your winners.
01:00:08Daniel Garcia and Claudio Castagnoli.
01:00:13Tomorrow night on Slammed Up Sunday.
01:00:15The AEW World Trios Championship will be on the line.
01:00:20Can the Don Callis family get it back?
01:00:22We'll join you after NCAA basketball right here on TNT.
01:00:27Good night from Fresno, California.
01:00:29Oh, my God.
01:00:30Oh, my God.
01:00:30Oh, my God.
01:00:30Oh, my God.
