Key moments
Ospreay finally beats Okada with the title on the line
The main event was Ospreay's first championship win over Okada. Okada hit two Rainmakers and went for a third, which Ospreay countered before landing the Hidden Blade with his elbow pad pulled down for the pin. The finish was clean. Ospreay bowed to Okada afterwards, and Okada, still on the mat, gave a thumbs-up and shook his hand.
Before the bell, Ospreay told the crowd: "Paris, are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready! The Billy Goat is about to enter this building and show everybody why I'm the World Champion!"
Allin bleeds and keeps the TNT title
Allin had called Fletcher out for this match on Collision the previous weekend, and it got rough early. Fletcher dived over the top onto the timekeeper's table and later hit a brainbuster on an exposed turnbuckle that left Allin bleeding. Allin came back with a Scorpion Death Lock and won with the Coffin Drop.
Thekla goes after Moné
Moné retained against Queen Aminata, who had challenged her for the match on Collision a few days earlier. Toxic Thekla attacked the champion with a spear once it was over, and Moné got out of the ring before Thekla could follow up with a stomp. AEW has since made Thekla's challenge for the Women's World Championship official for WrestleDream.
Bandido holds off Kofi as the trios feud grows
The opener ended with Bandido hitting the 21 Plex after a brawl at ringside pulled the officials' attention away. Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana were in Kofi's corner, with Hangman Adam Page and Brody King backing Bandido. That split carries straight into WrestleDream, where AEW has booked Strickland and The New Level to defend the AEW World Trios Championship against Page, King and Bandido in a two out of three falls match.
The Don Callis Family beats Moxley
Davis and Doyle won the tag match by pinning Kidd,. Moxley looked frustrated afterwards. The Death Riders kept an empty chair at ringside for the absent Pac. Doyle had lost to Moxley in a Continental Championship eliminator on the October 3 Collision.
Samoa Joe qualifies for Clockwork Carnage
Joe beat Perry with a muscle buster off the top rope and qualified for Clockwork Carnage, the eight-competitor match AEW announced for WrestleDream with the AEW World Championship on the line. AEW describes it as a hybrid of the Casino Gauntlet and an Iron Man match.
What AEW announced for Collision
AEW named two matches for the Grand Slam: France edition of Collision during Tuesday's broadcast. Chris Jericho faces Nick Wayne in a rematch of their September 16 meeting, and The Young Bucks defend the AEW Tag Team Championship against The Dogs.
