Tony made the right call not ending Better than You BayBay.
Saturday nights doing numbers like this is wild. On a night with boxing and MMA.

Give the people something they want to see (MJF/Cole) and they’ll tune in.

Excited to see the quarter hour breakdown. If anything, this should be all the confirmation Tony needs about keeping Max face.

They really should pivot to MJF/Cole beating FTR at Wembley.

The one thing that Collision's lacked at times is build up to *big* matches. This shows that there IS an audience for Saturday night wrestling when they build up matches. Even aside from MJF/Cole, they definitely have the pieces to draw bigger numbers, all things considered. Good to see!

They really should pivot to MJF/Cole beating FTR at Wembley. With the way it has been booked maybe it makes more sense to do so at All Out? I don't know where they are going, because obviously Punk is working himself into a program with Max at one of All In/Out. But overall I agree with you, that tag rematch should happen at one of these big shows coming up. I don't really see why there is interest in Cole vs MJF outside of the idea Cole "deserves" it. I know MJF said what he did in the promo, and they should do that match eventually, but there's not much heat at the moment in doing their singles match. People like them together. |

If there was any doubt there shouldn't be now.
They need to keep this MJF/Adam Cole story going for as long as they can, it's clearly a hit with people and the audience are totally invested in seeing what happens each week.
I also think it's confirmation MJF should commit to this babyface turn and just accept the audience want to cheer him. He's a great heel and I'm sure it's more fun to be the heel but the crowds have been dying to cheer him for months so they should just go with it.
When the team eventually breaks up it should be Cole turning heel on MJF.

That match was highly anticipated and MJF/Cole's friendship/team is crazy over right now.

I think the major pivot should be MJF/Cole being a match between genuine friends who legitimately respect one another, as opposed to there ever being a betrayal. Turn the old pro wrestling trope on its head. Even if MJF goes back to his douchebag ways down the road, he and Cole should always be buddies.

I know I’ve said this before, but I think people are also getting the message that Collision is more like another A show than Rampage, and matches like FTR vs Cole/Max on there certainly helps that perception.

Well, if there was any doubt about why they popped a big number.. |

So the act that's essentially the opposite of what Collision seems to be aiming for ends up drawing the most viewers. Even Punk's promo couldn't drive them away.
The clear answer is Dax is going to have to start dancing.

Overall a great rating and a great win for friendship.
The ups and downs of the quarter hour breakdown is amusing though. I've seen rollercoasters that are more level.
