AEW Collision delivered one of its strongest Thursday-night episodes from the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, using the hometown arrival of the Motor City Machine Guns, an excellent Will Ospreay versus Daniel Garcia main event and several meaningful All In developments to maintain the momentum created by Dynamite.
