[5.0] "Pros: Opener was a good time / More Mark Davis will always pop me / Main event was great. Cons: Demand v BBG could have put me to sleep / Mina losing AGAIN. I personally think having a (full length especially) Collision right next to your PPV is insane and whilst nothing was really set up for Revolution (that was all on Dynamite) a few good matches make it worth watching. Eye poke count: 0. Back rake count: 0."

[7.0] "The last show before Revolution 2025, which serves to build up rivalries and matches, suffers from the filler that usually plagues this secondary show. This show did manage to pique my interest in tomorrow's battle royal, but I didn't understand the purpose of the segment between Statlander and Theckla. What's the point of all that if Statlander ends up losing? Two decent matches at the beginning of the show; they continue to underestimate Bang Bang Gang, who are lost in the tag team and trios divisions, and a solid main event featuring Mexican wrestlers. I like seeing Andrade getting good treatment without needing a title in his hands. Since his return to AEW with this character, he has consistently delivered good matches, and I think he should be rewarded soon."

[9.0] "A great Saturday night show all across the board. The go home show for Revolution helped set up for the show and had great matches, especially between Kevin Knight and El Clon, Mark Davis against Komander, the trios match, and especially the main event. Saturday night wrestling is awesome!"

[5.0] "Much like Dynamite, the matches were often good, especially the main event, but their results were too predictable, and the weekly storylines were practically nonexistent. The angles weren't very interesting, and the only worthwhile element was the introduction clip for the battle royal participants. Statlander getting whipped was a somewhat awkward scene, and the final brawl was fairly standard. Match quality: 2.25/5. Angles and out-of-match segments: 0.75/3. Bonus/penalty: none. Total: 5/10. Show viewed on MyAEW."

[8.0] "Kevin Knight batting leadoff, and continues to shine. Komander & Davis was good, then the Triangle of Madness got a squash win, and whipping Stat was weird. Cool trios match between the Demand and the Bang Bang Gang. AEW doing a great job of actually building a trios division. Lena Kross beats Mina. Can we please recognize Mina as one of the best workers in the company? Month after month she puts on great matches, and more often than not, she is putting others over. She is a master entertainer, and a key component to the women's division. Match of the week was Andrade and Dorada. Wow, both guys were tremendous. Andrade is going to be world champion."

[8.0] "This episode of Collision was excellent as a lead-up to Revolution, and given the timing, it's actually very close to that event. Great matches and storylines that continue and are sure to be featured at Revolution. Not bad at all for AEW."

[8.0] "Not a ton of story beats given that it's the go-home Collision but wow what a fun card. All the full length matches were really fun. Even as a babyface, Juice Robinson is an incredible stooge. AEW really feels like it's at its best when the talent are just doing matches to have cool matches."

[8.0] "Good show overall. AEW's roster is so great that you could have what, in principle, is a filler show before the big PPV and still have good matches all around the card. The main was great, check that out from this show."

"It was a solid episode, but nothing spectacular. The show clearly felt like a build-up to AEW Revolution, so the focus was more on progressing storylines than delivering huge matches. The highlight was the match between Andrade El Idolo and Máscara Dorada -- fast-paced and entertaining with a lot of lucha-style action. Kevin Knight also looked good and seems to be getting more attention lately. Overall, the episode was easy to watch, but it didn't feel like something you absolutely need to rewatch. Just a good weekly show leading into the PPV. Rating: 7/10."

[9.0] "It's been said before that Khan doesn't care so much for the ratings and numbers that Collision does unlike Dynamite, as long as the wrestling is good, and this is what was delivered here tonight. Knight and the Clone was good, David and Komander was great, Demand and the BBG was fun, Kross and Mina was good, and of course Andrade and Dorada claims MOTN. The trios squash was what is was and set up a more than decent altercation between Thekla and Statlander. Didn't much care for Perry's promo, but the ones from Toni Storm and were much better. It feels like AEW have been firing on all cylinders lately and even the weaker moments hold up. Bring on Revolution."

[5.0] "Tedious watch tbh. All the matches were showcases for guys on the revolution card (so the outcomes would've been obvious even if it were live). So what about the match quality? Opener was okay (despite minor hiccups) and ME was mostly strong. Every other match felt way too long and some just felt awkward. Also, why are Ace and Juice (especially) not being utilized better? The peak of the show was the Toni promo. Babes, Perry and Ricochet promos were decent at least. I wasn't a fan of the Women's world title angle. Thekla wasn't as good as usual. Stats delivery wasn't bad and I get the idea but they've got to have these wrestlers behave more logically as they get the point of the segment across or arrive at the destination of match conditions. It's a similar issue with the irrational nature of Hangman risking his title future just to arrive at the stip. Unless they're playing outlandish characters these are issues that kinda undermines the wrestlers. I at least appreciated the closing angle because not much had been done to build the Bandido match."
