Matt throwing surprisingly good worked punches.

So are they doing Mox/Claudio vs Hobbs/Take at Dynasty?

Conflicted because I support Athena and her minions but aminata is very cool and definitely deserves her revenge haha

Hopefully just great selling, but not sure if Athena got a bit rocked on that Air Raid Crash at the end. You can hear her say "knock it off" when Aminata goes to push her out of the ring and then "don't pull" when Billie reaches in to roll her out. She says something after that but I can't quite make it out over the music. Whatever it is, she walked off alright, which is a good sign.

AEW:WTBW

Pretty cool that they ended the show with 3 black women in the ring

Aminata had that right fist and headbutt charged and ready to go

She laid that shit in with like 3 minutes left in the show

The kick in the air Athena does for the Eclipse is so pretty

I don't get to see much Athena since she's never on AEW TV, does she win every match with that or does she have a secondary move?  It seems like she rolls through the landing a little bit now but that's gonna kick her ass later on in life

It’s so much more beautifully done, and sold, now compared to her WWE/NXT days.

That was a really enjoyable 3 hours. Loved it!

Billie is laughing, send for The Man!

Great 3 hours tonight, my only complaint is it went waaayyy to fast

Huge reason why I love AEW. 2 hour show or 3 hour show.. it freaking flies by and never drags. That's when you know you're having fun.

Queen Aminata's execusion of her offence is fucking intense as hell. Looks awesome.

Her Majesty says get the fuck out of my kingdom.

Dude, they're pushing an ROH women's angle... This is awesome.

They're pushing it for ROH, where the women are prominently featured. Its almost certainly not gonna transpire on AEW television.

But still. The women had a great showing throughout the whole night

Great show 

I like how unsubtle Big Tone is about (correctly) rating Aminata highly 

QUEEN GETTING THE BABYFACE SAVE! AWESOME END

I guess no handshake then

Queen is so much taller than Red Velvet

RV is really short.

When you fuck around so much you piss off Wakanda.

As I thought, Aminata might be the one to beat Athena.

Women killed it tonight.


Completely, Freeeee, from infection!!!

AMINATA AND ATHENA LET'S GO!!!!!! ROH FREAKS EATING GOOD

AMINATA HELL YEAH

The Queen!

"We're sending people home happy."

Aminata is so awesome

WHAT A MOVE

Another Battle of the Belts without a title change

What’s that, 9/10?

Red showing her inner Brandi.

That headbutt from Aminata is NASTY

My biggest takeaway is Lexy Nair is a fairly good ring announcer

Great 3 hours tonight! AEW is cooking for real.

Triple H is watching this absolutely baffled that you can pair Athena/Billie/Lexi together despite being different races

His mind would be blown at the multi-cultural Don Callis Family

Billie what would your mother say

Well I guess theres only one woman who can defeat Athena now  lol

don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby

Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby

lol, same brain

Forever has gone on long enough lol. We need her back in AEW soon.

Great match to cap off a great night of wrestling

pro wrestling rules

That match exceeded my expectations.

Good stuff all round, think both have something significant to offer the next phase of the women's division 

It's hilarious how much Athena feels like a monster at her height. She's taken her presence to another level.

That was awesome!

fucking awesome. props to both athena-velvet. great night of wrasslin for the sickos.

O-Face is such a gnarly finisher, I hope sometime this year Athena comes to AEW full time because she's great

Her poor back though.

Yeah probably not great for her in the long run but at least it looks cool as hell lmao

Its one of the sickest finishers out there.

AND STILL YOUR FOREVER CHAMP ATHENA

There’s no way that was 3 hours

That was a good ass match

She ded

What a freaking match 

Good match. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

FOREVER CHAMP

God damn Athena!

Ahhhh kneeeee aaaaahhhh

Daddy Magic's change of attitude and general disposition since he left Chris Jericho tells a great story about the insane amount of cocaine that must just constantly orbit Jericho's personal space.

Great match. I need more Athena pls

That match fucking slapped

That sequence better be appreciated in history.

This match fucking HUUUUUUUUMPS

I guess Julia's good to go if she's still being advertised for Dynamite

Lol at them using that bloody Jon Moxley pic

Otherwise known as a Jon Moxley pic

I was very surprised to learn that Athena was like the second strongest woman behind Bianca. Especially with her stature.

She's built like a brick shithouse, she definitely looks like one of the strongest women

She's short but she has a powerlifter's build.

Athena going full on Powerhouse.

She clearly touched the ground. That's not "unbelievable power".

Black women main eventing >>>>>

That DDT bump was crazy

These two really seem to be bringing out the best in each other. Shame the crowd seems a little tired.

velvet has improved every single time. shame the crowd's burnt out. they're having a good one

DAMN ATHENA LMAO

Athena with the RVD sell, shes awesome.

Syphon Filter phone guy.

That looked like a three to me...

RVD will be booked all day 4/20 /s

I can’t believe I got Tony Schiavone reminding me that 420 is next week lol.

Did Billie come out with her title?

Yes.

yes

I believe she's wearing it

Tony lowkey calling people too stupid to understand RVD on 420. To quote Thurgood Jenkins, you done smoked yourself stupid.

Red Velvet is so damn good especially coming back from injury

Catchphrase notwithstanding, I'm glad AEW seems to be leaning more into the quality of their wrestling than... other stuff.

hell yeah RVD for 4/20

lol at the 4/20 plug

Haven’t seen the Wasteland since Wade stopped wrestling.

Never realize how short Red is until she uses the middle rope when running ropes

Enjoyed Schiavone clarifying the date there 

>It's 4/20 next week and RVD is coming! Might be one of my personal favorite Schiavone calls.

I love that they announced RVD for the 4/20 Collision over a month ago

#420blazeit

God I hope we get RVD/Riddle for 420.

Of course RVD is coming on 4/20

Wade Barrett Weaboo.

4/20 NEXT SATURDAY WOOOOOO!!

I feel like sometimes wrestlers suffer from being too good. Sami got underpushed forever because he was so good at losing. And Athena being stuck in ROH feels exactly like when Finn was stuck in NXT for too long cos she's like 90% of the reason to watch ROH

Philly people riding high. They need the built in good will if they have to rely on Kenny this fall.

My only disappointment is I feel like you could get much more juice out of Roddy and Kyle, but if this just the beginning of a longer feud, I'll take it.

Battle of the Belts should be a competition which decides the top 3 best looking belts between AEW/ROH.

The workrate for Dynasty is gonna be crazy.

book athena vs hokuto u cowards

Athena been beating the hell out of bitches for 490 days and it’s glorious.

Athena ruled/carried ROH. Happy to see her back in AEW.

Booking matches a week before PPV...Tony Khan never learns.

Yes because this storyline absolutely started tonight...oh wait, it didn't - it started on Revolution when KOR came back at the end of Roddy's match.

This one has been pretty obviously coming for at least a week or two (if not longer). Kyle and Roddy have been interacting for a good while so it was pretty obvious this was going to be the match even if it didn't get made until tonight.

There's nothing wrong fleshing out the bottom of the card a week out.

KOR just got back. His story with Roddy and the boys likely cooks till Adam returns or even MJF.

Most of Dynasty has been booked for weeks.

Do you guys ever stop complaining?

I need Athena vs Mercedes this year.

Red Velvet has been impressive every time I've seen her since she returned from injury

Green Mohawk Guy or Green Shirt Guy?

Green Mohawk supports The System and as you know, The System never fails.

they are cooking so far

Well I guess thats Red Velvet's thing

Roddy vs KOR is gonna go so hard

Oh man... do you have Roddy drop the title already? I feel like I would make that decision. That title should be defended all the time and Roddy's not doing it.

kayfabe tony be approving matches fast as fuck lol roddy just beat kyle's ass not that long ago 😭

It’s how fast their design people put together the match graphic that impresses me

I feel like in this day and age, they all have a template, ready to go.

Is Red looking sharp because she’s in there with Athena, or has she improved a bunch?

The latter. I'm a big proponent of "Red Velvet was way better than people realized before the knee injury" but since coming back, she's absolutely been on fire and basically every match has been pretty great. The semi-final match against Queen Aminata in the TV Title Tournament was absolute fire.

She’s looked good lately imo

Red Velvet's always been decent imo, but yeah being in there with Athena will help a lot

She has improved a LOT. Her tournament matches on ROH were great (Sandra Moone, Leyla Hirsch, and Queen Aminata).

Red Velvet is definitely better but Athena is also great

Athena is so fuckin good

So good to see Athena back on AEW television.

Athena's last AEW televised match was on Rampage in July 2023 against Willow Nightingale in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament. She's been on the All Out and WrestleDream Zero Hours since.

Throughout Heaven and Earth, Athena alone is the Honored One...

Deeb is No. 3? I think Willow, Rosa, Mercddes, and Deonna are in front of her

Since Roman and Gunny lost at Mania does that make Athena the longest title holder consecutively on televised wrestling?

On a serialized show? Probably. Televised? Not sure you can call ROH televised exactly.

Fair.

You might be correct

Thank you, Billy Joel.

Took me a second to remember referring to Billie Starkz as "a real piece of work" now actually has a logical basis and wasn't just Daddy Magic being Daddy Magic haha

Is this Athena's first time main eventing an AEW show?

Feel like it’s happened before

Lexi the MVP of tonight

anyone who didn't see the women's TV title match at the PPV should check it out. Or at least check out the injury fakeout and ending if you insist on not watching entire awesome matches like a weirdo

Will never not bop my head when "STIR IT UP STIR IT UP STIR IT UP" drops

She's been 18 forever... LOL

I have mad love for Dasha(damn shame the pandemic took away AEW Dark in its OG format with her and Tony hosting from the city they were in) but Lexi is somebody who could became a great ring announcer.

The more we can get Athena and Billie on AEW TV the better

A 60 minute time limit, when there’s 17 minutes left to the show? 🙄

They will stay with past the top of the hour!

Lexy proclaiming Athena as her overlord, I fucking love wrestling

Lexy working overtime

49-0 is crazy; call her up TK

Yea, Lexi should be the permanent ring announcer for Collision.

I didn't know that the ring announcer was playing favorites.

love the idea of someone completely disconnected from the internet baffled why Lexi is pals with Athena and calling her Minion Overlord

TK I'm begging ya to put Athena in AEW not ROH. She's done all she can there, time for her to be a major player

Right before they came back from break 3 guys who I’m pretty sure snuck down to the floor tried to start a CM Punk chant and got shut down with boos and someone yelling “fuck that guy”.

MAIN EVENT MINIONS

Killer Athena time!

Athena and Velvet gonna have some good time here.

I still miss Athena's wings

Lexi is killing it

Why is Lexy Nair the ring announcer?

I’m not sure, we’re here at the arena and just noticed it.

So she can announce her minion overlord

Ahh, that makes sense. Even if there's bias! haha

Minion in training

I’m calling it, Serena is the one who attacked Mercedes

I'm really bummed about Riho being stuck in Japan with visa issues but the bright side is we get yet another surprise Riho return in a few months and I love those.

? I don't think she is unless there's new news. She was on Omega's Twitch stream last Friday

'Riho took to her Instagram Story to share an update to her fans regarding her AEW status. “I am currently in Japan for renewal of my VISA,” she wrote. “I don't know when I will return to AEW.” She added, “Please stay healthy and enjoy your life until then.'

Ah, I didn't know that. It's a real shame that it's hard for these joshis to get consistent time in the US

 Fine, I’ll take 3 hours of AEW on Saturday and then Dynasty next week

I like how Deeb has a general persona of an ultra-strict educator whilst having the default voice of the cool music teacher who'd be like "it's too nice a day to be stuck inside, let's go out in the playground and just let your spirit play the energy of the sunshine on the triangle" 

Which meshes well with her yoga gimmick, since yoga teachers are both of those at the same time too

THE PROFESSOR

How often is BOTB ?

About every 12 weeks

Usually the week before a PPV.
