A Dynamic Pre-AEW Collision Segment
As the event transitioned to AEW Collision, Max Caster energized the audience with his charismatic performance, leading chants that engaged the fans. His act included an amusing moment when Anthony Bowens interrupted to propose a “vigorous” scissor, playfully teasing the audience without following through.
Tony Khan, the president of AEW, joined Caster on stage, further amplifying the excitement as they prepared to kick off the Collision show. The interaction underscored the unique blend of wrestling and entertainment that AEW consistently delivers.
