Chaos Reigns: House of Black Denied in AEW Collision Main Event

The House of Black’s quest for the AEW World Trios Championship took a tumultuous turn on Saturday night’s AEW Collision, as they fell short in a controversial No. 1 Contenders match against the Bang Bang Gang. Christian Cage, the guest referee for the night, proved to be anything but impartial, injecting his own brand of chaos into the proceedings.

The match saw the House of Black, comprising Malakai Black, Brody King, and Buddy Matthews, face off against Juice Robinson and the Gunn brothers, Austin and Colten. The heels, the Bang Bang Gang, targeted Matthews throughout the contest, seemingly setting the stage for a much-needed hot tag to King. However, Cage, displaying his characteristic duplicity, refused to allow the tag, succumbing to the Gunns' distractions.

Despite the setback, a timely hot tag to Black ignited a comeback for the House of Black. King entered the fray with explosive energy, bringing the crowd to their feet. The action escalated quickly, with each competitor unleashing their signature moves. Murphy, the Bang Bang Gang’s wildcard, delivered a devastating Meteora, leaving all six men sprawled on the mat.

In a shocking turn of events, Cage, ever the cunning manipulator, counted the pin to nine before delivering a brutal spear to Matthews. The ref then shockingly threw the match out, leaving the House of Black bewildered and the audience in a state of disbelief.

The outcome of the match casts a shadow over the upcoming All In event, leaving fans questioning whether the House of Black will truly get their shot at the Trios Championship. With Cage's blatant interference and the lingering uncertainty, the stage is set for a potential explosive showdown between the two factions at the highly anticipated pay-per-view.
