The semifinals of the ongoing AEW Grand Slam World Title Eliminator tournament took place on Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision, as Roderick Strong defeated Darby Allin to punch his ticket to the finals.
Strong beat Allin after the former TNT Champion had been attacked by Luchasaurus backstage prior to the match.
The Kingdom attempted to interfere during the bout, and as AR Fox ran down to stop the heels, he accidentally took out Nick Wayne.
The chaos allowed Strong to avoid the Coffin Drop and he was able to hit the End of Heartache for the win.
Strong will battle Samoa Joe in the finals on next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
