00:00Welcome back.
00:04We are live on Collision.
00:05What has been an incredible night here in Springfield, Mass.
00:10This is the first round match in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament,
00:16set for one fall with a 20 minute time limit.
00:20From Dallas, Texas, she is the Ring of Honor Women's World Champion,
00:26the Fallen Goddess, Athena!
00:30And there you see a record in AEW singles competition, 33-3.
00:34But, as we've said before, Athena,
00:38Fallen Angel, the most successful champion in Ring of Honor history.
00:42Her reign, 854 days, 64-0,
00:48since she won the belt back in December of 2022.
00:53Remarkable.
00:53Fallen Goddess, her reign has surpassed Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe in length,
01:01if not significance as well.
01:05Her opponent is a rising star in the AEW women's division.
01:11And her opponent from Gold Coast Australia, Harley Cameron!
01:20Still buoyed from her wonderful homecoming Grand Slam Bluesbund,
01:27where she had tears in her eyes despite not getting the results she wanted.
01:32Taking a look there, the Owen Hart Foundation Cup.
01:36Perhaps this will be the night for Harley Cameron.
01:40Will Athena, the AEW, excuse me, the Ring of Honor Women's Champion feel the wrath?
01:46Well, if Harley Cameron can win, then on Wednesday, Spring Breakthrough,
01:54the historic night of Dynamite, she will get a chance for revenge, so to speak.
01:58The rematch, if she can win the night against Mercedes Monáe in that match you were talking about in Australia.
02:03It will be a great night,
02:05Wednesday night, Dynamite Spring Breakthrough.
02:08Whoever advances, you certainly have to favor Athena as the champion,
02:17who uses her power advantage to pull her opponent in the corner.
02:23Gonna be so proud to be a part of that night.
02:27Of course, if Athena advances in the tournament,
02:32the TBS champion will have added incentive after Athena decked her recently,
02:38left her flat in the middle of the ring.
02:42You mentioned about Spring Breakthrough, you mentioned that on Wednesday night,
02:46live Spring Breakthrough from Boston on, here's a rollout, one, two, on TBS.
02:53That Dynamite becomes the long, one, one, two, a two count, becomes the longest run,
03:00weekly primetime wrestling show, one, two, wrestling show in the history of TNT TBS.
03:08You were there to cool all of it, Tony.
03:10Well, you know what, 2001, I never thought I would ever say that,
03:14that I would be part of history, but here it is on Wednesday.
03:19And don't forget, Collision is live, the very next night.
03:22That's right, we're live on Thursday next week, not Saturday, Thursday, 8, 7 central on.
03:29TNT Collision is going to be live.
03:33Spring Breakthrough, two big nights for our fans in Boston,
03:36our fans watching on TBS Wednesday, TNT on Thursday.
03:39Side headlock here, go face first, Nathina.
03:44You know, one of the things that has made Nathina such a great champion,
03:47is not only her ring work, that she is remarkable, but her confidence.
03:53I've never seen a more confident female in my life.
03:55And confidence, as we said, has led her to the most dominant
04:00women's championship reign of all time.
04:04Nathina, the fallen goddess, wait a second.
04:06Doesn't want to fall here.
04:08Pick up.
04:09Oh, smart.
04:11It was smart.
04:12Duck through and Harley Cameron hit the top turnbuckle pad.
04:15And then Harley Cameron hits hard on the ring apron.
04:18Not only that, another thing that's made Nathina so great is what we're seeing right now,
04:22her viciousness.
04:23Look at this.
04:27As Harley Cameron is down and Nathina has a big smile on her face,
04:32we continue on Max and TNT.
04:38Harley Cameron, by the way, is on a three match singles winning streak.
04:45And has really worked hard, Nigel.
04:48I think we can all agree on that.
04:50Harley Cameron has worked hard to get to this position in AEW.
04:53They even get in this tournament.
04:55And no question about it.
04:56Well, Nobe, very few people see.
04:58As soon as the arena opens, the ring set up.
05:02Harley Cameron is one of the first people here at ringside getting in the ring
05:07beforehand, willing to roll around with anyone to learn everything she can.
05:11She's got a great attitude.
05:12And certainly that will serve her well.
05:15But she's got a big gradient to climb here.
05:19Hold on.
05:20Roll up.
05:20She's got one, two.
05:22She almost pulled out a victory that time, but then gets kicked in the face for
05:26her troubles.
05:27Wow.
05:28By the way, as you heard, as you just saw, we're gonna hear from Mercedes Monet coming up
05:33a little bit later on.
05:34She's gonna face the winner of this matchup on Wednesday.
05:38You'd have to think the TBS champion, if she had a choice, would probably like to choose.
05:43Athena, as I said, get a little bit of retribution or payback for what Athena did to her recently on TV.
05:53Shoulder blocks right into the midsection.
05:56Once again, don't forget our special time for Collision next week is on the Thursday.
06:00That's live 8, 7 central on TNT and, of course, streaming on Max.
06:05Athena, always in fantastic shape, but look like she's
06:10trying to be lean specifically, I think, in case she gets to face Mercedes
06:16Monet expecting a potentially long match, and she's gonna need a good gas tank.
06:21She ducked that time.
06:27Rob it.
06:30Pick up.
06:31Great vertical suplex by the champ.
06:39Again, the confidence.
06:40You can just see the way that Athena struts around the ring.
06:45Moves with purpose.
06:46Yes, she does.
06:49What a talented young lady Athena is.
06:52Talented and determined as well.
06:54It's been a long journey for Athena since she started off in Texas.
07:00Training under the venerable legend.
07:04Here's a cover.
07:05One, two, two counts.
07:08Skandor Akbar, no less.
07:10Wow.
07:11It's a trap.
07:12There's a name out of the past.
07:15You see Star Wars?
07:17Yes.
07:18Right over your head.
07:18Okay.
07:19Okay.
07:24Right now, trapping Cameron.
07:28Big smile on her face.
07:31Perfect role of pearly whites.
07:32Watch this.
07:33Little bow and arrow action here from Athena.
07:42Looking at her opponent, Harley Cameron here.
07:48Telling her and screaming her to give up.
07:49What do you say, Harley?
07:51Cameron trying a little hand fighting here to get out of this.
07:55But man, this is a tough space to be, Nigel.
07:58Sure is, but one, two.
08:01How about that?
08:01Harley got a two count out of that.
08:03Serendipitous, perhaps, Harley landing on top for a pin full.
08:06But Athena moving straight on.
08:08No rushing leg sweep by Harley.
08:11The fans, as you know, the winner of the Owen Hart Women's Tournament will get a shot at the world title.
08:17And all in, coming up in Texas, in the Dallas area, a global wide field, home of the Rangers.
08:23And you know, running thrust kick, number one, two.
08:29You know that Athena would love to get a world title shot at her home state,
08:35in her hometown, actually, the Dallas metroplex area.
08:39No question, the fallen goddess, be eyeing potential.
08:44World title shot against timeless Tony Storm.
08:48If Storm still has the title, I'm all in.
08:51Winner of this match will face Mercedes Manet in the semifinals on Wednesday at Spring Breakthrough.
08:59And we are in Boston, live in the historic night of Dynamite on TBS.
09:09Harley was tried to the tree of woe.
09:12Thinger, a rare miscalculation showing out for the fans.
09:18Cameron now.
09:19Great takedown by Harley.
09:21Harley, feel the wrath.
09:24Can she keep it going?
09:25Yes, a running lariat.
09:29Inziguri, how about that from Harley Cameron?
09:32Thinger starting to feel the wrath right now.
09:36In the ropes, Harley.
09:38Harley.
09:42Just pounding away.
09:45Warning from our referee.
09:47A main event should have come in the mid-division of the Owen Hart tournament.
09:53Axe kick from Harley Cameron.
09:55Cameron screaming, fill the wrath to the heavens.
09:59As she starts to take to the heavens perhaps, but slowly.
10:02Yeah, she's been-
10:04Expanding a lot of energy.
10:05Yeah, put through a lot.
10:07But she gets up, cross body, Athena rolls through.
10:11Wow.
10:12A dead left for Athena.
10:15Incredible.
10:15Pick up.
10:20Harley fighting up top.
10:23Athena has got her in her clutches.
10:25Harley fighting.
10:29I don't know how Harley got out of that, but it worked.
10:31Oh, my God.
10:33Straight away, the Ring of All Women's Champion back on top.
10:36With a thrust kick coming up the top.
10:38Oh.
10:39Harley with great timing.
10:40Caught her with a right fist.
10:42Harley Cameron.
10:46She's going for a finishing move here.
10:48No, she went for a belly to back.
10:52One, two.
10:54Strong legs by the Ring of Honor World Champ, pushed out of that.
10:58Pump handle, back suplex from Cameron.
11:03Great women's matchup, you hear the fans respond.
11:06It is certainly awesome.
11:11Again, what AEW is all about.
11:14We've had more than one example there of this evening.
11:17Can Cameron score what's going to be considered an upset against the Ring of
11:21Honor Women's Champion?
11:22Here it comes.
11:23He's trying to finish his move, but no, a cartwheel out of that.
11:26Pick up.
11:28Over the top, Cameron will hit the ropes.
11:30And rolls up, one, two, we've got a two count.
11:37Just couldn't maintain the leverage long enough.
11:44Some soul food for Athena.
11:45Yeah, a little soul food action to your right.
11:48Harley staggering to her feet.
11:53Up on top, Athena's got her one, two, the power of Athena again.
11:59Puts down Harley Cameron.
12:04What is this?
12:04My gosh.
12:08Creative knee strike.
12:09That was a creative knee strike.
12:12Look at the fakes of the Ring of Honor Women's World Champ.
12:15They're my favorite purge.
12:16Can she make the final four?
12:19The old face.
12:22Caught Harley with a one, two, three.
12:25Here's your winner, advancing in the tournament, Athena.
12:31This is huge news, Athena, Mercedes Monet, a dream match in the semi-finals.
12:43It will happen Wednesday at Spring Breakthrough on AEW Dynamite Live on TBS and streaming on Max.
12:51The TBS champion against the Ring of Honor Women's Champion.
12:57Only one will advance to double or nothing in the finals.
13:01And now you see the final four, as it's said.
13:04Jamie Hayter, Chris Stadlater on one side.
13:07And as we said, Wednesday at Spring Breakthrough.
13:10Mercedes, Monet, and Athena will go at it one-on-one.
13:14One-on-one.
13:15One-on-one.
13:15One-on-one.
