Darby Allen’s opponents line up and he beats them down, and that was proven again on All Elite Wrestling (AEW)’s “Collision” on Saturday night.
Sammy Guevara challenged Allin to an AEW World Championship match at Ring of Honor’s Supercard of Honor event. Guevara is one half of the Ring of Honor tag team champions. He thrust himself into the world title picture as Allin looked set to face Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) at Double or Nothing next week in New York City.

Allin made five consecutive title defenses since winning the title from MJF. He defeated Tommaso Ciampa, Brody King, Kevin Knight, Pac and Konosuke Takeshita. Guevara became another number on Saturday.
When it comes to both Allin and Guevara, fans expected some high-flying action, even if it put both men in danger. Guevara put Allin up on a table and climbed a ladder, hoping to do enough damage to put his opponent down for good.
Guevara hit a loco dive off the ladder. But it was far from enough to put Allin away.
Allin survived a Spanish fly and avoided a 450 splash from Guevara off the ropes. Guevara crashed through a table. Allin rolled Guevara back into the ring and hit a coffin drop to put the challenger away.
Mark Briscoe makes an electrifying return
Mark Briscoe was back in AEW after being out for a few months following an assault by Tomaso Ciampa.
He teamed up with Orange Cassidy and Kyle O’Reilly, part of the faction known as The Conglomeration, to take on Lee Moriarty, Shawn Dean and Jay Triller, known as Shane Taylor Promotions, in a World Trios title elimination match.
Briscoe got the tag and the crowd in Sailsbury, Maryland went wild. He used a chair to take out his three opponents. He hit a Froggy Bow and a Jay Driller to reach Dean.
He will now turn his attention to Ciampa in a no-disqualification match on the next episode of “Collision,” which airs Wednesday as part of a three-hour special with “Dynamite.”

Will Ospreay will take on Samoa Joe in the first round of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament as he looks to get a shot at the AEW World Championship at All In.
Joe had tried to keep Ospreay away from The Death Riders in recent weeks as Ospreay trained with the group to be cleared to return to an AEW ring. Ospreay even seemed to have The Death Riders in his corner as Joe sent out Katsuyori Shibata and Anthony Bowens to attack him.
On “Collision”, Ospreay had words for Joe.
“Joe, I apologize for not getting back to any of your messages – I’ve been a bit busy training and getting ready for Owen,” he said. “Surprise, surprise to see you there in the opening round, mate. It’s going to be a tough one, but if you’ll just bear with me for a hot second while I explain. Six months of my life was taken from me, mate. Six months I’ve been sitting in front of a TV screen watching AEW, watching it, trying to get strength back in my arm, six months. frustration, six months of anger, and then I finally got shot at Dynasty and I lost ever since then, doctor even stopped one of them for my own safety.
“But I’m more upset with the idea that I can’t be the guy that AEW put their trust in once upon a time. No matter how I feel about Jon, no matter how I feel about The Death Riders, there’s nothing I can say that’s going to make people understand. But Jon Moxley, he’s the ace. He’s a soldier for this place, and while his methods can be elevated to him, so that could be what he could be elevated to. happen to him in my corner?
“Joe, I have nothing but respect for you – everything you’ve done in this business. You were in the fight that made me want to be a professional wrestler. But no one, no one is going to stop me from winning Owen. And I find it very poetic that the man who took my old life away from me has given me a second chance to capture the world championship.”
