New TNT Champion Crowned at AEW Collision’s Debut Show
Saturday’s debut AEW Collision show at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois featured a TNT Championship match between Luchasaurus with Christian Cage in his corner and champion Wardlow.
The finish to this match saw Christian Cage attack Wardlow with a camera breaking it in the process while the ref was distracted. This led to Luchasaurus hitting Warlow with a clothesline to the back of his head for the pinfall victory to become the new TNT Champion.
Following the match, Cage celebrated with the TNT title acting as if he was the one who had won the belt.
