AEW’s Collision and Dynamite tapings rock ShoWare Center in Kent

For the first time in eight months, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) returned to the Evergreen State and presented three televised shows to a rowdy audience inside the ShoWare Center in Kent.
The first of three tapings occurred on Saturday, June 21, when AEW Collision aired live inside the ShoWare Center. The two-hour show, which can be viewed on TNT each Saturday night, featured an “All Star 8-Woman Tag” as the evening’s main event. The team of Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford defeated the team of Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata, Anna Jay and Tay Melo.

Then, on Wednesday, June 25, AEW Dynamite aired live on TBS inside of the ShoWare Center and kicked off with “CEO” Mercedes Mone attacking “Timeless” Toni Storm on the stage. Tacoma native Swerve Strickland teamed up with pro wrestling sensation Will Ospreay against Blake Christian and Lee Johnson in the first match of the night. The hometown hero and Ospreay managed to pick up the victory over Christian and Johnson, despite interference from “The Young Bucks,” Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.

The main event of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite saw “Hangman” Adam Page defeat The Beast Mortos and continue to pick up momentum as AEW’s biggest pay-per-view of the year, All In, approaches. Page will wrestle AEW World Champion Jon Moxley in a championship match at All In in Arlington, Texas, at Globe Life Field.

Following the airing of Dynamite, AEW taped an episode of Collision, which aired on Thursday, June 26, on TBS. The main event of the evening was donned “Battle of the Kyles” as Kyle Fletcher, representing “The Don Callis Family,” defeated “The Paragon’s” Kyle O’Reilly.
