00:00It's great to be back on TNT, and we're going to start out tonight's telecast with a bitter battle that's been brewing for a couple of weeks between Anna Jay and one of the most dominant women we've seen in quite a while, Megan Bain.
00:17There's Penelope Ford. Right now, let's go to the ring. Here's Arcadiara.
00:21Your Collision Openies Contest is scheduled for one goal with a 20-minute time limit. In choosing first, accompanied by Penelope Ford, from Thessaloniki, Megan Bain.
00:36We open up with a match that's been a few weeks in the making. One of the more dominant females we've seen in quite a while, Megan Bain coming into the ring.
00:46And let's take a look at what happened. Nigel on Collision.
00:51You can see the Megasus here, and Penelope Ford ready for action. But Anna Jay, Ford in hand, taking it to the Megasus.
01:01It would not be done, though, escaping to the outside. This far from resolved. Expect to see more in this story.
01:09That was two weeks ago right here on this telecast. Megan Bain has not lost a match here on Collision. 5-0 on Collision.
01:21Also with wins over champions here as far as Thunder Rosa, the former Women's World Champ.
01:28Chris Stantlander, the former TBS champ. And this dominant female has to face one of the young ladies who has had quite a career here in AEW.
01:42And we're opponents, accompanied by Marlee Kellen, from Brunswick, Georgia, Anna Jay.
01:50Anna Jay furthered the conflict between these two teams. Let's take it back now. Some of the action.
02:02It was a four-way eliminator match for the AEW Women's Championship. Megan Bain getting involved.
02:09And then the face-to-face, glancing Anna Jay straight in the center of the ring.
02:15But Harley Cameron taking it to the Megasus. Once again, taking her to the outside. And this is expected to get far worse with Harley Cameron making the Megasus feel her rough.
02:33And really did it with that pipe in hand. And one can understand. Here we go. Finally, one-on-one. Megan Bain going up against Anna Jay.
02:44And immediately going to the power here, Nigel. Picking up Anna Jay. Poisoner all the way back to the turnbuckers.
02:51Yeah. Jay, no slouch in the power department. But there is almost no one to contend with the power of the Megasus.
03:00Because we've got to talk about Dynamite and that four-way eliminator match with Mina Shirakawa.
03:05Picking up the victory that night. And perhaps arguably, ooh, taking one closer step to the AEW Women's Championship.
03:11Yeah, and Nigel, there's something else we need to talk about. And that is, fans, you know by now, I'm sure, that Jim Rawls announced that he has colon cancer.
03:21And we'll have surgery very, very soon. Our thoughts go out to the greatest wrestling announcer ever.
03:27He's my mentor. He taught me so much in the 80s about confidence, about how to call a match.
03:33And, Jim, we are thinking about you. We are praying for you. And soon, we're going to see you on an AEW telecast again.
03:46Oh, wow.
03:47Harley was up on the other end. And now you see Penelope Ford and Anna Jay.
03:52Penelope and Anna have had a bloody, bloody rivalry as well.
03:56Long history between these two stars, certainly, dare I say, far from over.
04:03We've got to give Ford the advantage, teaming and aligning herself with the Megasus.
04:10Same time, Tony, as we saw in that clip.
04:13Harley Cameron, not afraid to get in a fight.
04:17Absolutely not.
04:17Certainly now, though, Megasus, clear control on this.
04:24Only going to emphasize that fact.
04:30The poise and the presence.
04:35The right kiss from the Megasus, who's been absolutely commanding thus far in the match.
04:42We're talking about, here's cover one.
04:43Two, we're talking about Anna Jay's career in AEW.
04:46Two, seventh all-time in wins in the women's division.
04:50She has 68 wins.
04:52First time, though, she's ever faced the Megasus.
04:54And you've got to approach any match against a lady who is that tall, that big, that strong.
05:01A little bit differently than you, I would think, your other 68 wins.
05:07It's very hard to have a strategy against someone the size of Megan Bain.
05:13From the bear hug, just throwing now.
05:18Anna Jay over top, who's kicking refuge in the ropes here.
05:21The strategy might be keep away from the bigger, more powerful opponent.
05:27Hit and move.
05:28Right now, it's Bain doing all the hitting.
05:30Yeah, and no moving.
05:31Oh, there you go.
05:32Almost like she was listening to you.
05:36Be quiet.
05:38So, Anna now.
05:43Try to mount some offense and get back into this match.
05:47Four-arm shot.
05:49Returned fire this time.
05:50Oh, I'm not so sure a striking battle against Megan Bain is the right thing to do.
05:56But we'll see.
05:57That turned the Megasus around.
05:59Missed the pump kick.
06:01Oh, and again.
06:03Heel kick.
06:06Backstabber.
06:08Megan Bain rolls up into a corner.
06:09Here goes Hannah.
06:12With a leg lariat somewhat.
06:14Hit it the most of the damage.
06:16But wait a second.
06:17Looking for Fates to send.
06:20And that time, good job, Anna, just fighting her way out.
06:29Lovely net breaker with the assist from the middle rope.
06:34Bain thought about it for a second.
06:36And again, the top rope, not Megan Bain's friend.
06:40She's been forced out over the top a few times.
06:43That will be out there.
06:44Oh, there it goes.
06:45And Anna Jay flying from the ring.
06:49Harley cheering her out on the outside.
06:51As Harley Cameron has said, that big fat ass of Anna Jay coming to her aid.
06:56Her words, not mine, Tony.
06:58I understand.
06:58I heard it too.
07:00And Anna Jay is going to take flight here.
07:03Maybe a mistake.
07:04No.
07:05Blockbuster.
07:06Blockbuster from the turnbuckle pants.
07:09And now pick up.
07:11Oh, my gosh.
07:12Wow.
07:14Falcon Arrow.
07:15But look, yeah.
07:16The damage from the blockbuster.
07:17Megan Bain unable to follow up.
07:19Now cover one, two.
07:21Hook the right leg of Anna Jay.
07:24And not yet getting the win.
07:28This is our opening bout here tonight.
07:31I'll have a night of action ahead of us.
07:33I'd like to get a couple of words in when I can as well, Tony.
07:36But right now, all the speaking is being done by Megan Bain.
07:41Megan Bain.
07:42Could be face descent.
07:44Oh, no.
07:45This is great.
07:46Into a DDT.
07:48What a counter by Anna Jay.
07:49One, two.
07:52And Megan just got out of that.
07:56Penelope Ford.
07:57He's very aware of the fight of Anna Jay.
08:00The fight with Anna.
08:02Seeing once again.
08:04Hold on a second.
08:07Sleeper hole in the center of the ring.
08:08Yep.
08:09Forearm underneath the jaw, across the chronic artery.
08:13Trying to take the blood from the brain of Bain.
08:17Calling it the Queen Slayer.
08:21And Penelope is in the ring.
08:23Oh, behind the official's back.
08:25Trying to pull the...
08:26Yes, and she gets the top turnbuckle pad off.
08:29But here's Harley Cameron.
08:31Chill out, fish.
08:32Rock it.
08:33And the fighting season on the outside.
08:35The turnbuckle is still exposed, though.
08:38As this fight rages on.
08:40Fists of fury.
08:45And with Cameron and Ford taken out, Jay is all on her own with the Megasus.
08:52Put the brakes on before she hit that exposed turnbuckle.
08:55Drop to hold.
08:57Roll up, Megan.
08:58One, two.
09:00Oh!
09:01Oh!
09:01Oh!
09:02So close to get the win.
09:03And you can see it on the face of Anna Jay.
09:07Back to the attack once again, Nigel.
09:10See, she's got the body scissors as well.
09:12Right across now.
09:14Controlling a more powerful opponent.
09:15But still, look at the power of Megan Bain.
09:19Just standing up out of this Queen Slayer.
09:23Fans clapping, chanting for Anna Jay.
09:25And now in a very, very tough spot here.
09:36All the way up.
09:38Oh, boy.
09:39What is this?
09:41Oh, God.
09:42Dropped her on her hips.
09:44Not her back, her hips.
09:46She's trying for a second.
09:49Oh, look.
09:49Incredible strength.
09:51Wait a second.
09:54She's got her up here, Nigel.
09:55You know what this means?
09:55Positioning.
09:57Fence descent.
10:01And a cover.
10:02One, two, three.
10:05Anna Jay did absolutely everything she could to avoid face descent.
10:19But ultimately, ultimately, the fate of Anna Jay would be decided by the Megasys,
10:26who once again makes another member of the women's division bow down.
