AEW Collision July 31st, 2025: Dustin Rhodes vs Kyle Fletcher

[O-Blaze]

and this is why Dustin winning wasn't so bad, he got his moment in Texas, and now Kyle gets to be champion

 

[Skyefire]

He already beat him, why do this

yeah one of the better examples of this kind of booking IMO. Not sure if there's a real name to categorize it but we all know what I mean lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

It's called booking on the fly it's risky AF but it can payoff

 

[Comrade Khan]

Looking FWD to watching this sounds like a banger show

 

[Professor Booty]

I love how Julia and Sky are these evil bitches but hold hands when they walk it’s adorable and menacing. That pairing rules so much.

I GET TONI STORM VS ATHENA LIVE!!!!!

I'm fucking jealous. That's been one of my dream matches for a while now.

I see some people moaning that it is not Forbidden cardy elsewhere and my thoughts are: BITCH I'M GETTING TONI VS ATHENA I DO NOT CARE. It is going to be a BANGER. Toni legit top 5 wrestlers this year period imo

Yeah that match is about to be a banger for sure. Like honestly both women are two of the best right now, and quite frankly have been for awhile now. I'm honestly torn on how i want it to go. they are legit my two favorite women right now in wrestling. Like, Toni I would put just slightly above Athena. But like, honestly if Athena won, I'd very happy lol. I'm just excited for a great match, and one I'm not going to be nervous over lol.

There are now four wrestlers ever who have gotten three 5-star matches in three different decades.

• Toshiaki Kawada (w/Tenryu vs. Hansen/Gordy 1988; vs. Misawa 1994, w/Fuchi vs. Nagata/Iizuka 2000)
• Mitsuharu Misawa (vs. Kobayashi 1985; vs. Kawada 1994; vs. Kobashi 2003)
• CM Punk (vs. Joe 2004; vs. Cena 2011; vs. McIntyre 2024)
• Dustin Rhodes (Sting's Squadron vs. Dangerous Alliance 1992; vs. Cody 2019; vs. Fletcher 2025)

No doubt this will be shattered in the 2030s by the likes of Ospreay, GUNTHER, Shingo, the Bucks if they're still around... but this is an awesome stat. Dustin's the first to do it in non-consecutive decades too

This is a crazy stat. Too bad he doesn't have one for the 00's and he would've had it in FOUR different decades.

Dustin Rhodes > Cody Rhodes

 

[Colt Magnum]

Think Dustin has added to his legacy since his aew debut i think he reinvent himself as Dustin again even when he could just rode the Goldust train on the indies for his whole career. Dustin a fine wine better with age
