The main event of the premiere episode of AEW Collision on Saturday night saw CM Punk and FTR (CMFTR) defeat Samoa Joe and Bullet Club Gold.
After around twenty minutes of in-ring action, Punk gave Juice Robinson the GTS (Go To Sleep) to pick up the “W” for his team. While there were some rumors that KENTA would be showing up, that didn’t wind up happening.
You can check out some highlights from the match below:
