On the Saturday edition of AEW Collision, the show was main evented by the TNT title bout between Copeland and Kyle. In the end, Copeland would defeat O'Reilly.

While speaking in a digitial exclusive after AEW Collision, Copeland noted that if Kyle gets another shot at the title, there's a good chance he walks away with the gold.

"Tonight was just an example of why I came to AEW. To get in there with a talent like Kyle O'Reilly in his hometown, 25 years after his dad brought him to see his first wrestling show, which I was on. You fast forward 25 years later and there we are in the main event for the TNT Championship and his dad is here tonight. I know it didn't end the way that he necessarily would have wanted it to. But what an absolute pleasure and a privilege to get in there with a talent like that and just wrestle. I'm feeling the effects. But yeah, those are the moments, the way the crowd reacted before we even locked up. I mean, that's why you do this, is for nights like this. It's a night like this that I know I'm not sleeping cuz I'm gonna be buzzing after that thing. Vancouver brought it and I know they were with their hometown boy and I get it and I don't blame them. Kyle is coming back off of a really bad injury. If there's anybody who can relate to that, it's me. What he brought tonight, man, I gotta tell you, he gets another shot at this. There's a good chance he's walking away with this. He's that good. So Kyle, strangely, thank you."

Copeland would challenge Malakai Black to a barbed wire steel cage match at AEW Double Or Nothing. You can read more about that here.
