The following are spoilers for the Saturday, April 26 AEW Collision Playoff Palooza episode.
Saturday’s show was taped Wednesday night in New Orleans at the Lakefront Arena. Spoilers and commentary are from Suit Williams.
**********
Swerve Strickland came out for a promo but the Young Bucks cut him off immediately and moved his scheduled match up…to RIGHT NOW.
Swerve got jumped by Johnson, disposed of him, then got jumped by the Bucks. Kenny Omega made the save, and fist bumped with Swerve afterward.
I swear to God, they traded hip attacks during this match like forearms.
People were actually doing Max’s super dumb chant, but he lost to the Hologram Slam (which is actually called the Portal Bomb). Max crawled to the back like a worm after his loss.
Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne attacked Jay after the match, with Bayne laying her out with Fate’s Descent.
Cru (Lio Rush & Action Andretti) defeated Top Flight (Darius Martin & Dante Martin w/Leila Grey) in a tornado tag match —
Andretti shoved Darius into Grey, knocking her off the apron, then hit their finishes to win.
There was a botched rana off the apron that took the steam out of the crowd, but Bandido got them back with a pair of dives. Bandido won with the 21-Plex.
Rush won with The Bull’s Horns.
Strong & O’Reilly came out to End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage, Strong’s long-time theme on the independents. After the match, Daniel Garcia returned to run off FTR. He said he would continue to chase them until he made them pay.
