On the latest episode of Collision, a former WWE Superstar went on a rampage backstage and attacked 11 men. He was not happy regarding recent booking decisions. This would be Lance Archer.

Last week, The Murderhawk Monster did the same and went on a tear backstage. He did this to prove a point as he wished to remind everyone who he was and how dominant of a competitor he was in the business.

Earlier tonight, it was announced that Will Ospreay will face Lance Archer next week on AEW Dynamite. The two stars have split their past two matchups. Ospreay won their last match at NJPW Dominion last year. Before this, their last matchup was in 2019 during the G1 Climax, which saw the former WWE Superstar win.

Cameras panned backstage earlier and showed Archer laying out 11 men. He then cut a promo on Will Ospreay while continuing to beat up all of the men laid out.

Moments later, the former WWE Superstar dragged out one of the competitors he beat up into the ring and faced him in what was a squash match, to say the last. He used him as an example of what he claims he'll do to Will Ospreay next week.

It will be interesting to see who comes out victorious next week.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
