Fun show, particularly Swerve vs. Tanahashi and the main. Was hyped to see the Darby/Sting partner reveal too even though a lot of people called it.

Looking forward to tomorrow night. #AEW

LOTS of boos for CM Punk when he came out for the main event, no surprise there. Maybe even more boos when the match actually got underway. Some chants for him too, but it's going to be interesting to see how crowds react to him city to city now.

#AEWCollision #AEW

MJF vs. Hiroshi Tanhashi will open the show at #ForbiddenDoor .

Source? MJF just now on #AEWCollision.

@kessleragain My pleasure!
