Summary

AEW taped the Spring BreakThru edition of Collision on April 15 in Everett, Washington, ahead of the April 16 broadcast. The show featured movement across several ongoing stories, including Adam Copeland's issue with FTR, Jon Moxley's eliminator win over Nick Wayne, and another successful AEW Women's Championship defense for Thekla.

The Moxley vs. Wayne eliminator had already been positioned as one of the night's key matches in the Spring BreakThru lineup, and the taping also continued the build around that announced eliminator bout while adding fresh friction elsewhere on the card.

Results

Adam Copeland said his issue with FTR was not over. FTR came out, which opened the door for Trent and Rocky Romero to attack Copeland before The Young Bucks made the save.

Jack Perry issued a challenge to anyone from the Don Callis Family.

The Young Bucks defeated The Rascalz.

The Dogs attacked both teams after the match and warned the tag division.

The Conglomeration defeated Lethal Twist in an AEW Trios Eliminator Match.

The Opps told Anthony Bowens that a decision on his membership would be made next week.

Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida defeated Big Anne and Danika Della Rouge.

Jon Moxley defeated Nick Wayne in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match.

Don Callis said he could get Kazuchika Okada out of his match, but Okada wanted to keep it.

PAC defeated Lio Rush.

Brody King, Mistico, and Mascara Dorada defeated Ricky Gibson, Bull Rivera, and KC Riff.

Mina Shirakawa interrupted Statlander and Shida, saying she does not trust Shida and believes she attacked Toni Storm.

Thekla retained the AEW Women's Championship against Alex Windsor.

Collision Spring BreakThru fallout

Copeland, FTR, Trent, Rocky Romero, and The Young Bucks all crossing paths in one segment kept AEW's tag scene crowded in a useful way, because it leaves multiple directions open for Collision and the next round of television matches. The post-match attack by The Dogs added another team to watch at the same time.

Moxley's eliminator win shut down Nick Wayne's immediate title hopes, while Thekla's successful defense kept the women's championship picture centered on her just as Mina Shirakawa raised new suspicion around Hikaru Shida and Toni Storm. That gives the show two clear follow-up threads instead of one.
