Darby Allin Retains TNT Title On Collision

Darby Allin retained the TNT Championship by defeating Hechicero on AEW Collision. The victory also qualified Allin for the Clockwork Carnage match at WrestleDream.

The bout served as the main event and determined the final participant for Will Ospreay's AEW World Championship challenge this weekend. Allin put his title on the line in the contest, similar to an earlier match on the show.

Hechicero gained the early advantage by targeting Allin's injured leg with grappling techniques. Allin responded by using rougher tactics, including biting Hechicero's hand while they were against the ropes.

The action moved outside the ring where Hechicero drove Allin face-first into the barricade and executed a monkey flip into it. Hechicero continued using the barricade against Allin until the referee instructed him to return to the ring.

Allin regained momentum by performing a tope and a Coffin Drop on a standing Hechicero outside the ring. He then hit two additional Coffin Drops inside the ring to secure the pinfall victory.

Allin joins Kazuchika Okada, Samoa Joe, Adam Copeland, Konosuke Takeshita, Mike Bailey, and Ricochet as the seven challengers in the Clockwork Carnage match.
