On the final AEW Collision episode of 2023, the six men in the Continental Classic Blue League bracket had their final matches.
In the first Blue League match on the show, Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli had an incredible 20-minute draw that gave both men one point.

Eddie Kingston defeated Andrade El Idolo in the high stakes main event match. Eddie and Andrade both finished with 3-2 records for 9 points, but since Kingston beat Andrade in their head to head matchup, Kingston goes on to the Blue League Finals.
