Did Darby Allin outwork the self-proclaimed TNT Champion, Christian Cage? | 8/19/23, AEW Collision

[@SRT8KASH]

Hell of a main event 🔥🔥🔥 Edge & Christian almost a 100 years of age combined still putting on bangers back to back nights on TV... Great to see

24 hours after after Edge's incredible match with Sheamus on SmackDown, here's Christian putting on a banger with Darby Allin on Collision, you love to see it!

FACTS

[@distinguishedallureproduct879]

Not going to lie was expecting Adam Copeland to just "appear" to go against Christian and maybe tag with Darby (I know I know... Restriction clause and all) but still a man can dream 😅

[@marcohavokkhaos]

The only match I skipped last night. He's no Instant Classic like Christian Cage.

[@distinguishedallureproduct879]

@@marcohavokkhaos maaaan if "You think you know me" would of blared through the Venue when Christian and Lucha was jumping Darby the place would of exploded

[@stuckintheinbetween]

This was an absolutely outstanding match. Darby always delivers, but let's hear it for Christian. The man is phenomenal on the mic and in the ring. He's doing some of his best work at 49.

[@mikeh2129]

When Darby landed spine first on the hardest part of the ring completely missing that Coffin drop I honestly thought that was it for him. Can't believe he won it. Just awesome

[@saj8]

Christian is washed.

[@azimisyauqieabdulwahab9401]

7:35 Tony Schiavone as referee?

[@alaooooy7]

It would be an absolute crime if Christian Cage doesn't at least win the AEW title once. He's phenomenal in every way! One of the absolute best in the world to this day and he deserves a huge push!

[@kapoleon83]

seeing wrestling only from 3 years?

[@lilsprx]

The fact he even wrestles in a turtleneck.. legend.

[@krim7]

He is shredded under that shirt too. So the turtle neck is all character for him, he’s not hiding anything 😮

[@Dr_1212]

[@italianplastic23]

he shouldn't wear all the time.....i miss his usual attire and the T-neck makes him sweat a lot

[@alaooooy7]

Christian Cage is just too good! It would be a crime if he doesn't win the AEW title at least once. Nobody keeps delivering absolute gold in every segment and match like he does! A true living legend.

[@McCrispyTaco]

These two should have more matches together. I didn’t want it to end. You guys are awesome!

[@richie5208]

[@robertwarf3316]

Christian is such a damn good wrestler. Truly one of the best to do it

[@DivineRoyalty88]

Christian saved the TNT Title. Best Heel In All Of Wrestling!

[@theaterthug7]

Damn Darby is legit the modern Jeff Hardy. The man is oozing talent!

[@Sash-dw1zx]

Полностью согласен!!!

[@one-wingedangel5107]

Modern Jeff Hardy with the CM Punk lifestyle (Darby admitted that he's straight edge)

[@Gh0stGaminginc]

That's an insult to Jeff

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS

[@Weeping_Somnambulist]

I've never been a Jeff Hardy fan for multiple reasons. Darby for my money is way better than Jeff could ever hope to be. He makes his shit look so good and believable. A guy his size would have to hit like a truck and that's what he does.

[@kenshinhimura719]

I'm happy that we still get to see Edge and the TBS Champion Christian inside a ring

[@Larocque2004]

[@binxboi7156]

Edge and Christian main event their respective shows on back to back nights. The Peeps are delighted.

[@TheUndisputedQueso]

You know Christian couldn't let his best bud outwork him..absolute banger of a match 🔥🔥

[@LegacyOfMysterio]

Absolute incredible match 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻 both Edge and Christian put on bangers in the main event on two different nights on two different shows and still killed it. It made me smile A lil when Christian used the spear 🥹

Christian Cage is absolutely gold! Deserves the AEW title more than anyone!

[@lhagvadorjganbaatar9337]

Christian Cage is killing it. He should be at Wembley stadium.

I will be disappointed if he is not wrestle there

[@koolio12]

I hope they have him cut a promo

[@greatheightsu]

3:04 fucking insane. OUCH!!!! Darby Allin is a sick man.

[@bigvito9008]

He can't be too sick or he wouldn't be cleared to wrestle.

[@alaooooy7]

Christian Cage is still one of the absolute best in the world! On the mic and in the ring he delivers gold every single time! He deserves to be the AEW Champion when he's done with the TNT title!

Better than Toxic Botch Punk😂😂😂

[@Maxximum_]

Christian is 50? Thought he was younger than edge

[@alaooooy7]

Christian Cage is legit still one of the absolute best in the world in the ring. And he's on his own level on the mic. The least this man deserves is to be AEW Champion specially as a heel!

[@Doaclanleader81]

Darby moves around and does things so differently from anyone else. And he always looks likes he's giving 110%. Enjoy him while we have him folks, hopefully it will be for many years.

[@Gh0stGaminginc]

Those coffin drop spots on the edge of the mat are so unnecessary. The man's banging up his body for no reason.

[@yvessavage7447]

Ya those coffin drops are hard to watch, but they way he throws his weight around, it looks like it would hurt to wrestle him

[@italianplastic23]

not at rate he's going

[@Doaclanleader81]

@@italianplastic23 Possibly true, but we used to say that about Jeff Hardy and RVD over 20 years ago.

[@AlejandroTorres-sp8id]

yea man i love darby but i hope he slows down cuz he puts his body through alot

[@ViTo_DEE]

Christian has to cover up in the ring because he would put half the roster to shame with how shredded he is 😂 mad respect to him for still being awesome today.

[@bigvito9008]

That must have been Nia Jax excuse as well.

[@jccvzc3991]

I like Darby, but he needs to at least slow down on the big bumps. Doing coffin drops, etc on the ring apron is gonna catch up with him sooner rather than later. Great match though 🔥

[@weismanwriter9426]

Christian still moving like he's in his prime at 49. What a main event this was holy crap. I think Christian needs to be considered one of the top guys if he isn't already. Darby is also insane for that god damn back drop fucking hell. You can tell he loves the sport and was excited to go against Christian.

[@alaooooy7]

Christian deserves the AEW title at some stage. He's still one of the absolute best in the world and he doesn't get enough credit!

[@Destined4Greatness.]

Darby is sick, that spot was so unnecessary. I love that Darby is willing to go all out to give us a great match but shit he sure needs to limit himself that was brutal and it’s not the first time he’s done that 3:04

[@bigvito9008]

He didn't look sick to me. He did alright until Lizard Boy interfered

[@Moose6340]

Honestly, I think that spine tattoo on his back is an illustration for the doctors to use when they have to put it back together. I don't know how that guy can keep doing moves like that. Talk about giving up his body for our entertainment.

[@SuperMarc281]

What a great match. Once again Collision was a fantastic episode of wrestling. It’s got to the stage where I can’t cope with Dynamite anymore. This show is just 8 out of ten at least , every week.

[@jorgeulloa8000]

Collision is the best action packed wrestling show through out the week

[@vivekmuthusamy8314]

Darby Allin has potential to be one of the biggest baby faces in history if booked and used well. He has a great children's fan base as well and could become a great inspirational wrestler. Needs to be better in the mic.

[@shenelljohnson74]

He sounds great on the mic wdym?

[@LAloslagos11]

This match really surprised me. Wasn’t expecting to be this good 🔥

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

Another week, another GREAT main event on Collision. Darby is the perfect example of a homegrown AEW talent. And he’s one that is constantly improving. From crash test dummy, to full-blown underdog hero that majority of the audience is behind. The guy has improved his in-ring by listening to veterans AND , surprisingly, his promos as well. Looking forward to more from this kid.

[@tyreepowell8367]

Darby Allin Is The Man

[@zainzaidi4149]

So far collision main event slot is phenomenal.

[@kater123bln6]

Love the self-proclaimed TNT champion. Luchasaurus stepping aside when it comes to promos, but absolutely deserving the belt by work in the ring, while being managed by this narcisistic Christian Cage is pure gold. Both benefit from this so much. Luchasaurus is way too good to not carry gold, while Christian is way to charismatic to not be in the spotlight. Luchasaurus at some point needs to step up with his gimmick being too unrelateable to western audiences, if he wants to own singles titles gold more regulary. Love both men in this combination.

[@ahmedatef5838]

Both christian cage and darby allin are underatted wrestlers ❤🤩😍🥰
