The Dogs defeated Jet Speed and Mistico to win the AEW Trios Championships

Grade: B+

This was a good match and frees Jet Speed up to do some tag or singles runs. The Dogs needed a win, and they finally got it here.

Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida defeated Enhancement Talent

Grade: N/A

Hikaru teased attacking Stat as well. Where is this character going to go?

The Hurt Syndicate returned to defeat Enhancement Talent:

Grade: C-

The power and grace of Lashley and Benjamin are back! They looked great in this one!

RUSH defeated Anthony Bowen to win the number two spot in the Casino Gauntlet Match at Dynasty

Grade: B

This was a good match for Bowens, who sometimes leaves a bit to be desired in the ring as a solo artist. RUSH looked great, as always.

The Young Bucks defeated El Clon and Hechicero

Grade: A

The Bucks are ageless wonders. It's easy to forget that they debuted 22 years ago. Remarkable how fast they are and can combo moves together. Great match. Hechicero and El Clon are forgettably good. Both are solid workers.

Kazuchika Okada defeated Myron Reed of the Rascalz

Grade: B+

A solid match. I have to say, I've quickly come around to the Rascalz. Reed is was up to the task here to match Okada.

The Brawling Birds defeated Thekla and Marina Shafir

Grade: B+

Pretty hard-hitting and outstanding women's tag team match! Thekla gets a rare loss, even though Shafir ate the L. Why was Shafir smiling as she was pinned? These should both be fun matches tomorrow!

Final Grade: B+

A fantastic AEW Collision from start to finish. This had wonderful wrestling, interesting angle, and great promos and interviews. Collision continues to be the show with more wrestling featured. I can't wait for Dynasty tonight.

All Elite Award: Nick Jackson

The Dogs won the gold, but it was the Bucks who won the best match. And of the two brothers, Nick has been impressing me more as of late. Timing his combos and working a good range of strikes, flying, and slams, Nick has been on his game recently and looks to be in incredible shape to boot.

Divine Dominion defeated The Babes of Wrath to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships

Grade: B

Myron Reed defeated Johnny TV

Grade: C

The Death Riders (Moxley and Garcia) defeated Private Party

Grade: B-

The Brawling Birds and Mina Shirakawa defeated Enhancement Talent

Grade: N/A

Tommaso Ciampa defeated Ace Austin

Grade: A

The Don Callis Family (Fletcher and Davis) defeated The Rascalz (Xavier and Wentz)

Grade: A-

Kazuchika Okada defeated Kevin Knight to retain the AEW International Championship

Grade: A

Final Grade: B+

A huge improvement over last week's Collision. This show had extremely strong matches--particularly in the last hour--and the segments were good as well. It allowed a lot of people to be showcased this week. There was also nice variety with tag team, women, trios, and singles matches featured on the show, even though The Brawling Birds and Mina were just given a vehicle to make a match with The Triangle of Madness. 

All Elite Award: Kevin Knight

It feels guilty to not give Okada the award, but I think he plays his chickenshit heel character too well. Kevin Knight has continued to impress me in the last four to six months. I knew he was a strong mid-carder when he debuted, but I could honestly see him headlining the promotion. He is the perfect mix of swagger and talent. He has Ospreay's moves at times and Swerve's arrogance, but somehow comes off as loveable with his big smile. It also kills me to not recognize what was possibly Ace Austin's best match in AEW here against Tommaso Ciampa. Anyone you picked from the last three matches would be a fine choice.

AEW Dynamite 3/21 & 3/22/26 Review and Quick Grades

-Logan Rogers (photos property of All Elite Wrestling)

Kyle Fletcher defeated Robbie Eagles to retain the TNT Championship

Grade B+

La Faccion Ingobernable defeated Enhancement Talent

Grade: N/A

The Brawling Birds defeated The Sisters of Sin

Grade: C+

The Death Riders (Garcia and Castagnoli) defeated Mascara Dorada and Komander

Grade: B+

Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong defeated Jay Lethal and Lee Johnson

Grade: B

Tommaso Ciampa defeated Lio Rush

Grade: B-

Divine Dominion defeated Enhancement Talent

Grade: N/A

Jet Speed and Mistico defeated The Don Callis Family (Takeshita, Alexander, and El Clon) to retain the AEW Trios Championships

Grade: A-

Final Grade: C+

A couple enhancement talent matches and the fact that the show was split over multiple nights really prevented it from flowing well. I understand why AEW has to do this during the tournament, but I guess we should just we thankful we still get a Collision.

All Elite Award: Mistico

Robbie Eagles probably impressed me the most, as I haven't seen a ton of his work before. But Mistico has made himself at home in AEW. I do love that some AEW stars are also being signed to CMLL now. I don't know the financial details or how scheduling works, but I'm going to assume AEW probably has priority. "Mi Muero!"

AEW Collision 3/14/26 Review and Grades

-Logan Rogers (photos property of All Elite Wrestling)

Kevin Knight defeated El Clon

Grade: B

A very solid matchup to kick off the card. Knight always impresses and El Clon is phenomenal, even though he doesn't get many matches. 

Mark Davis defeated Komander

Grade: B-

A great match of David and Goliaths. Komander looked good, but this was about showcasing the power of Mark Davis, new Trios Champion. 

The Triangle of Madness defeated Viva Van and Enhancement Talent

Grade: C

The match was nothing, but it was a lead-in to Kris Statlander showing up and taking lashings with a belt from Thekla. Stat looked credible and very hard to beat. This will be a tough one to predict. I still lean toward Thekla.

The Demand defeated The Bang Bang Gang (Austin, Robinson, and Austin Gunn)

Grade: B-

Good to see the Bang Bang Gang get some screen time under any circumstance. This faction is always popular, they just need some time. We don't need to wait for Jay White and Colton Gunn to get back. Let's gooo!

Lena Kross defeated Mina Shirakawa

Grade: C+

Mina tried, but she couldn't get the win. Does Mina ever win? What are we doing here? Kross gets a big win early in her AEW career. Will Kross win two belts tomorrow night? One? None? Hmm...

Andrade El Idolo defeated Mascara Dorada

Grade: A-

A great match between two very capable athletes. Andrade has been solid since returning, and Dorada always impresses when he stops by. Great high-flying moves in this one. The avalanche hurricanrana, multiple torneos, and the top rope Spanish fly were impressive. Afterwards, Bandido came out to confront Andrade, but was attacked by RPG VIce, who were then attacked by Brody King, who was then attacked by Swerve Strickland. a preview of two very different styles of matches for tomorrow.

Final Grade: B-

While still solid, this episode of Collision was a bit lower than many recently. But with the  PPV tomorrow, I'm not going to complain. There were still some quality matches here, including the main event and opening match. A definite Lucha Libre flair to the evening, which is always a good thing.

All Elite Award: Andrade El Idolo

I wouldn't be mad if someone picked Mascara Dorada instead. This was the match of the night and, honestly, Andrade deserves some praise for picking up his character from the last time he was in AEW and became a mid-card wrestler lost in feuds. He has stepped it up and his workrate has been great so far. 

AEW Collision 3/7/26 Review and Grades

FTR defeated The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Desmond Xavier)

Grade: B+

Great match featuring The Rascalz again. Their in-ring product I am starting to love. I still don't need the stoner/munchies gimmick in 2026, though. Wentz is amazing. FTR looked good here as well. Great warm up for Revolution.

Daniel Garcia defeated Tommaso Ciampa

Grade: C+

A decent fight until Mark Briscoe attempted to get a measure of revenge on Daniel Garcia. He inadvertently hit Ciampa, causing him to lose. Afterwards, FTR came to the ring to talk to CIampa, but Briscoe ushered Ciampa away. On the ramp, CIampa snapped and went after Briscoe, throwing him into the LED screens. Interesting that they would turn Ciampa so quickly after he was SO beloved by the fans upon his arrival. What is the purpose here?

Swerve Strickland defeated Gravity

Grade: C-

A squash match for Swerve with Brody's friend Bandido's brother Gravity. Huh? At least Gravity got a few moves in. 

Private Party defeated The Swirl, The Outrunners, and LFI (Rush and Dralistico)

Grade: B-

A fun match that went all over the place with all four teams getting their stuff in. There wasn't really a wrong winner for this match as any of them could have used some stroke in the tag team division. Still, the recently returned Private Party pick up a good win here. I loved the bit after the match where a young fan got a stack of money and Isiah Cassidy gave him knuckles to steal the money back. 

Megan Bayne and Lena Kross defeated The Timeless Love Bombs

Grade: B+

That was one of the better women's tag team matches in AEW recently.  Kross looks like a beast. Bayne always looks like a beast. Storm still looked like a star. And Mina had a better outing than her last few. She needs a few wins, though. Marina Shafir prevented Toni Storm from making a tag, leaving Mina isolated. 

The Dogs defeated Enhancement Talent

Grade: N/A

This is an interesting trio that is still new to me. Gabe Kidd is certifiable. Connors is the cool dude. Finley looks calm and collected--like a serial killer. 

Konosuke Takeshita defeats Claudio Castagnoli

Grade: A

AN Amazing bout between two of the best big men in the business today! Wow! Takeshita is amazing and Claudio has been on such a roll lately. Man! Hard-hitting, technical wrestling, and some high flying. This was a great main event. Afterwards Jon Moxley and Hechicero got involved on their respective sides. A lot of history between all four of those guys.

Final Grade: B

One thing AEW has been doing very, very well lately--and isn't probably being talked enough about--is how great they have been delivering on their main events. The final match on almost all of the last shows for a month have been fantastic. And they have had a good variety of who is involved in those matches. It just goes to show again that AEW is "Where the Best Wrestle". 

All Elite Award: Konosuke Takeshita

It is hard to pick against Claudio again, but Takeshita won the match and goes into Revolution with a win. He also mixed it up with Moxley afterwards. A full-on face Takeshita should be someone the fans get behind. Big time.

MJF is interrupted by Kevin Knight

Grade: B+

Who is Kevin Knight to go toe to toe on the microphone with MJF? How dare he! He did well, and we have a title match set up for Dynamite. I guess MJF forgot about his protesting the stipulation with Adam Page pretty fast...

The Death Riders (Pac, Wheeler, Garcia, & Castagnoli) defeats The Don Callis Family (Archer, Baretta, Romero, & Alexander)

Grade: B

Solid eight-man action between the two feuding factions. They protected Yuta's clean cut as the match went on, depriving the fans of seeing his bald head, though they would get the reveal later on... Archer looked good here, as did Claudio. 

Tommaso Ciampa defeats Jay Lethal

Grade: B-

A solid outing by two long-time ROH rivals. Ciampa looks good back in action. The pesky Swirl tried to involve themselves several times on Lethal's behalf.

The Brawling Birds defeat Enhancement Talent

Grade: N/A

Look all they need to do is literally make Hayter and Windsor the female versions of Doyle and Davis. That's it. What is this gimmick? 

Protokada defeat Top Flight

Grade: B+

This was a fun one. Though they never have momentum, Top Flight has always been a rock-solid tag team to have matches against. They looked great here and, more importantly, made Okada and Fletcher look amazing. Good match. Afterwards, we get a fairly long exchange with Jet Speed that was, frankly, a bit confusing. How many matches are we booking here? Three as near as I can tell, but Knight has a fourth against MJF? What?

Toni Storm defeats Zeyda Steel

Grade: C-

This was all Storm. Steel looks like she is young yet, but hopefully she's still improving. Matches against people like Storm can only help. Afterwards, Shafir and Yuta interrupt and Toni pulls off Yuta's hat finally, putting it on her own head.

HOOK recruits for The Opps

Grade: C

HOOK is backstage looking for new members for The Opps. After rejecting on person, he runs into Anthony Bowens. Long story short, HOOK tells Bowens he doesn't know if Bowens is Opps material. Not a particularly effective segment, but it was good to see HOOK continue to work on his character and speaking skills, two things he is behind on. 

Kris Statlander and Thunder Rosa defeat The Sisters of SIn

Grade: B-

Can we get the Sisters a win? It was a big ask that they were going to beat Statdaddy and La Mera Mera, but we've seen the Sister hit each other by accident a lot recently. I hate to say this because I love then, but Skye might do better on her own. Julia needs work. If we are awarding wins and losses backstage based on polish, it makes sense this team keeps losing. What doesn't make sense is that the Sisters of Sin have been tagging longer than anyone in the division. What are we doing here? Afterwards Thekla chews out both Rosa and Statlander. 

Andrade El Idolo defeats Tomohiro Ishii

Grade: B

This was billed as a "first ever meeting" between the two. A good contrast in styles, with El Idolo being so polished and smooth and Ishii just, well, a Stone Pitbull who is stiff and brutal. A good match to close the show. Afterwards Bandido came out to shake Andrade's hand, but Andrade wasn't having it. 

Final Grade: B-

Not the best Collision we've seen lately, although it kept right on moving and flowed very well. 

All Elite Award: Andrade El Idolo

Kevin Knight may have had the best Collision, being featured in two interview segments, but it's hard to award someone based on no in-ring action. The multi-person matches were good, but let's give today to El Idolo for being a consistent performer since his return.

Jet Set Rodeo defeats The Demand to retain the AEW Trios Championship

Grade: B+

A very solid matchup between the two trios teams. The Demand should have their day eventually, but it wasn't today.  Toa is a beast, but could still work on timing a bit more.

The Young Bucks defeat The Swirl

Grade: B

A very solid match with The Swirl and the Bucks. Nice to see the Bucks with their family at ringside. I'm intrigued by the addition of Jay Lethal to The Swirl...

Claudio Castagnoli defeats Josh Alexander to retain the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship

Grade: A-

Some of the lifts and gutwrenches from Claudio were insane. Alexander isn't huge, but Claudio did things with him that no one should be able to do. Wow. Very impressed by Claudio in this one. Alexander hasn't exactly set the world on fire in AEW despite being featured pretty prominently. Super impressed here.

Megan Bayne defeats Becca

Grade: D-

Not entirely sure who Becca is, but the fans in San Diego sure seemed to love her. Can we get Bayne a title yesterday? Or the tag titles at a minimum? This was barely a match.

The Don Callis Family (Clon, Takeshita, Davis) defeated the Death Riders (Pac, Moxley, Wheeler)

Grade: A-

This was a high-octane affair that featured everyone well. I was particularly impressed with El Clon and Pac. Mark Davis continues to impress. I can't believe Yuta's hat stayed on the entire match!

Thunder Rosa defeated Julia Hart

Grade: C+

Great to see Thunder Rosa back. I hope she can stick around for a long time. She looked pretty good against Hart here. Hart still seems too fragile. She neesd to hit harder. Afterwards Thekla trash talked Rosa and Kris Statlander made the save. 

The Rascalz (Wentz and Xavier) defeated FTR 

Grade: B

The Young Bucks helped The Rascalz get an upset win in an eliminator match against FTR. Wentz continues to look good. FTR is always good. They are the masters. Afterwards, The Demand and Jack Perry get involved on opposite sides and Matt and Nick Jackson's younger brother is given a spike piledriver in the ring by FTR. The Jackson's mom and dad were pushed at ringside and had powder thrown in their eyes by Stokely Hathaway. Quite a scene to end the show!

Final Grade: B+

This was a really strong Collision and continues the great trends as of late with AEW. 

All Elite Award: Claudio Castagnoli for his incredible performance against Josh Alexander. He was awesome.
