The first post-Dynasty episode of AEW Collision offers a buffet of bangers and then some. With three delectable servings of Owen Hart Tournament action, AEW fans are going to be well-fed. Although, we are happy to overindulge. We’re also getting a scoop of vanilla (baby), an explanation from FTR, and likely more Dynasty fallout.

AEW has months to go until All In but The Owen and the return of The Young Bucks means the road is being paved. Compared to the last few years, it feels smoother with less creative potholes. Creative has almost turned the corner. If not for Jon Moxley retaining his AEW World Championship, of course. With a special Spring Breakthru Dynamite next week to mark AEW becoming the longest running wrestling show on Turner Sports, big things will be set up. The groundwork for Wednesday is going to happen Saturday. At Dynasty, Rated FTR imploded. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler betrayed and dismantled their former best friend, Cope. Piledriver. Shatter Machine. Spiked piledriver on a steel chair. Cope was taken out on a stretcher. Many fans are glad to see the turn. It’s a symptom of modern wrestling fandom. The catharsis of seeing a stale wrestler change. From MJF to John Cena in WWE, we love seeing wrestlers return to their old ways or become something new. For a while, fans have waited patiently for FTR to come full circle, back to their heel roots. The first statement after the turn is key. It sets up expectations for what’s to come.
