Thank you very much to all AEW fans! Everyone's cheering helped me. See you again.#ddtpro #AEW#JunAkiyama

Eddie Kingston, who has been vocal about his respect for Akiyama, was on commentary for the Collision bout. Following the end of the match, Danielson would flip Kingston off, resulting in a slap from Jun. Danielson would then offer a handshake, but low blowed Akiyama, resulting in Kingston entering the ring to brawl with Danielson.
Kingston and Danielson are scheduled to face off at AEW Revolution with the Continental Championship on the line.
