Collision Course - Collision recap for July 11, 2026

Tony Schiavone introduces a returning "Hangman" Adam Page to the ring to start tonight's show. Hangman says that he is a gardener and lives on "an acre-and-a-half in Greensboro" now, and mentions the flowers as well as the creatures in his garden as well as how therapeutic it is to plant a seed and tend to plants. He says he has been gone for four months, and when he was not in rehab, he was planting, and when All Elite Wrestling decided to come to Roanoke, Virginia, it was important to be here, as he wanted to plant one more seed. Hangman admits he does not know what this will bloom into or if it will grow at all, then mentions losing any chance at challenging for the AEW World Championship when he lost to MJF. He thinks about what could have gone wrong before admitting that he lost, and says that he is a man of his word as the stipulation lives in him and not in ink in a document in a file cabinet somewhere, and says he will never challenge for the AEW World Championship again. Hangman then talks about Kenny Omega winning the title, saying it was important to him as well as his message to never quite and always run the race afterwards. Hangman says there are miles and miles of track in front of him, and mentions the TNT Championship, the National Championship, the Continental Championship, and the International Championship. Hangman then asks who he is without the World Championship after seven years of chasing it, and while he does not know, everyone is going to find out. He then says that tonight, he can hear his words, truer now than ever before, and that he is going to have to find something else to do...and he will.

Willow talks about her shoulder injury from two months ago that forced her to relinquish the TBS Championship and drop out of the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, and congratulates Hikaru Shida and Mercedes Moné for stepping up and succeeding. She admits that being sidelined during Double or Nothing broke her heart, but she did not defend the TBS Championship ten times just to let her Wembley Aren adreams die just because her shoulder could not hold the weight of the world. Willow says that she was trying to come back better, and when the recent Casino Gauntlet Match from Wednesday was announced, that was her cue to come back, and now she has one more shot at glory. She then says that "The Toxic Spider" Thekla made a mistake when she attacked her, then says that the worst day of her career will not define the rest of it and that nothing will stop her from beating Thekla and becoming Women's World Champion. Willow then warns Mercedes that she will be the one she will be facing at All In.

We see more footage from Brawl in the Ballpark, then we hear from Skye Blue. She says that Julia Hart made Brawl in the Ballpark her battlefield and that Willow Nightingale will hear from "The Toxic Spider" Thekla soon.

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia) beat Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin), AR Fox and Komander in an eight-man tag match with a Dragonslayer/curb stomp combo on AR Fox by Garcia and Moxley.

Backstage, we hear from The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross), who say that they have become disgusted by the women's tag team division and that Julia Hart and Skye Blue are "desperate little things" who are like dirt beneath their mountain and will never hold the women's tag titles.

Backstage, we hear from "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who says that everyone else who is not Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue) is an enemy. She tells Mercedes Mone that she does not trust presidents or CEOs, and says that Willow Nightingale got injured on purpose to skip the line and face her. She then says that Willow has never been a Woman's World Champion because she pretends to be a baby while she is "a real woman," and tells Willow to keep being positive, as "the only thing funnier than a dumb bitch is a happy one."

We hear from The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin), who have teamed up with Angels of Assisi pet adoption center in Roanoke, Virginia to give two dogs (ironically named "Finlay" and "Clark") loving homes while mocking The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay).

"The Machine" Brian Cage beats Zachary Wentz. After the match, Trent Beretta says he challenged Darby Allin to a match and that he is here and ready to fight, yet Darby is not even in the state, then demands that the referee get in the ring and raise his hand so he can get a win.

He says that all they had to do is climb the ladder and grab the briefcase so he could be boss forever, and blames Kale for the Hollywood Clique's failure. He says that Kale embarrassed him in front of Big Vito and the world, and calls him "the weakest link." Kale says he has hired to win the tag team titles and that Blaylock needed him.

General Manager Nick Aldis is in the ring to start tonight's show. He addresses the physical altercation with Gunther after Night of Champions, takes accountability for his part in the incident, and announces that he is now General Manager of the brand again. Aldis then introduces CM Punk to the ring, then gives Punk the floor and leaves the ring. Punk says that he missed the fans on SmackDown after two-and-a-half months of working to move to the blue brand, the attempts at which were expedited when a challenge for Sami Zayn was needed. He says that when opportunities fall from the sky, he catches them, and after getting ready for the match in his own home and kissing his wife goodbye, he is now Undisputed WWE Champion. Punk says that he is not like other wrestling, much like other champions, and that he plans to be a fighting champion every week and defend every chance he gets, for he draws a target on his back as the locker room is full of hungry, talented individuals who want what he has. Punk then throws an open challenge to anyone who thinks they have what it takes to wrestle "The Best in the World," for he is not hard to find and he will defend the WWE Championship with his blood, sweat and tears for the fans. Punk also addresses what Sami Zayn said about him on social media and says that he will give him a shot, as he certainly deserves a rematch. He also addresses Gunther, saying they remembered their last match, and also proposes that they square off again. He also mentions his recent two matches with Finn Balor and that he looks forward to facing him in neutral territory. Punk also mentions Royce Keys, Damian Priest and Trick Williams, then "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up and heads to the ring.Cody asks Punk how his left eye, and Punk says that it looks a lot worse than it feels. Cody mentions how he had a black eye and how a championship opportunity fell into Punk's lap. He then says that while there are matches like the one Punk had, there are those that have been building for years. Punk mentions their history and their friendship and how he does not want the WWE Championship to come between it all. Punk says they may not be able to run away from each other anymore, to which Cody agrees, mentioning that he had told him "Just say when." Punk interrupts Cody as he speaks, saying "When."

Michin says Charlotte Flair needs as many lessons as it takes to get the picture like Alexa, and B-Fab says that Charlotte will get a front row seat to see Alexa get snapped for a twig. Cargill says that everything that will happen to Alexa tonight will be Charlotte's fault and that she will not be held responsible.

UFC middleweight fighter Dricus Du Plessis is seen in the crowd.

Finn Balor beats Tama Tonga.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Carmelo Hayes. Carmelo says he has done nothing but prove and deserve, then says Trick Williams may have the aura, but it will not help him against someone with his star power. He says his aim has never been more clear and that tonight is his moment.

Backstage, R-Truth has to pay up to Fraxiom (Nathan Fraser and Axiom) due to the United States losing in the World Cup, then The War Raiders show up. Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu show up looking for Solo Sikoa. R-Truth says he has yet to see Solo, but when Jacob says he is looking for Royce Keys, Truth says he has not seen him, either. Damian Priest shows up and says that Royce Keys is here and in the building, and when R-Truth asks Priest why he mentioned where Royce Keys is, Priest says that Royce Keys is not their problem.

Backstage, General Manager Nick Aldis is on the phone with Sami Zayn, who is on a mental health break, and Sami is not happy with Cody vs. Punk for the WWE Championship at at SummerSlam. Suddenly, Gunther shows up and says that Aldis made a big mistake, but he is going to give him a chance to fix this before the end of the night, as he deserves to be in the ring with the champion and he does not care if he even has to face both Cody and Punk. Aldis says he will take that into consideration.

Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu are in the ring. Jimmy Uso calls out Solo Sikoa, but Royce Keys shows up and heads to the ring instead. Royce Keys addresses Jimmy Uso mentioning his name both last week and this week, then says that "the family business" is starting to affect everyone and is starting to affect him. Jimmy Uso says tonight is about "OTC business," and when Royce mentions that Roman Reigns is not here, Jacob Fatu steps up and says that they are good friends and that they should keep it that away. He tells Royce that he can say anything about anyone else, but warns him not to mention Roman Reigns again. Royce Keys says it does not have to be like this, and when Jimmy Uso says that nobody tells them what to do and that Royce Keys is not family, Royce Keys says that royalty, not blood, makes family, and that Jacob is his family and he will not let that fall. Jacob tells Royce that he will cross a line that he will not be able to come back from, and Royce says that he did not come here to fight, but he will cross that line. Jimmy thinks Royce is crazy for taking him and Jacob on, but Jacob tells Jimmy that there is no "we" here and that this is all on Jimmy, because he is out. Jacob then walks away, and Jimmy calls for a referee so they can have a match. Jimmy then goes for a cheap shot, but Royce makes him pay for it by immediately overpowering him.

Jimmy Uso beats Royce Keys. During the match, Solo Sikoa sneaks up on Jimmy Uso from behind on the outside and nearly hits him with a Samoan Spike, but Jacob Fatu comes back and beats up Solo Sikoa. Solo and Jacob go at it on the outside, and Jacob gets Solo in the Tongan Death Grip. Back in the ring, this allows Jimmy Uso to hit the Spear on a distracted Royce Keys for the pin and the win. After the match, Jacob gets Solo back in the ring to stomp a mudhole in him, then Royce Keys confronts Jacob. Jacob superkicks Royce and hits him with a senton, then takes a chair from Jimmy and wraps it around Solo's head. Jacob stops short of a hip attack on Solo and tells him to be ready next week on Raw, and this time, he will not stop.

We see Sami Zayn's message from after last week's Raw where Sami calls CM Punk a "piece of shit" for just waltzing in and taking the WWE Championship from him.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews CM Punk, who says that all challengers can get in line and that he has been called much worse by people other than Sami Zayn. Candice LeRae shows up, and Johnny Gargano is planking on a nearby box. Candice says Sami is the only one who did not give up on Gargano and was "the voice of the voiceless" and that Sami was their hope until Punk took that from them. Punk tells Gargano and Candice to get back in the ring, as this is not working. As he walks away, Punk runs into Finn Balor, who welcomes him to the blue brand.

Jade Cargill beats Alexa Bliss. During the match, B-Fab trips Alexa on the outside, and that allows Charlotte Flair to send Jade Cargill neck-first into the ropes behind the referee's back. "Michin" Mia Yim goes after Charlotte only to eat a big boot, then B-Fab sends Charlotte into the ring post. Alexa takes out B-Fab afterwards, but Cargill is soon able to hit Alexa with a pump kick followed by Jaded for the pin and the win. After the match, Michin grabs a chair, but Charlotte stops Cargill from grabbing it. Michin and B-Fab almost overpower Charlotte, but Charlotte fends them off until Cargill superkicks her. Cargill places Alexa's left arm inside the chair and bends the arm back to the point of injuring it as officials arrive too late.

Gunther heads to the ring. Gunther says that he gave General Manager Nick Aldis until the end of the evening to fix things, and demands that Aldis give him a decision. Aldis shows up and says that despite their history, he will give Gunther exactly what he wants. He gives Gunther "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and CM Punk at Madison Square Garden on Saturday Night's Main Event, but Cody and Punk will team up against Gunther and Sami Zayn. Aldis says the mistake he needs to fix is thinking Gunther would not be a pain in his ass after signing him to SmackDown. Gunther attacks Aldis in response and puts him in a sleeper hold that officials have to break up. Gunther seemingly walks away, then puts Aldis in a sleeper hold and attacks him again. He lets go, then locks in a third sleeper to end the show. The show fades to black as "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring. After the show goes off the air, Cody dares Gunther to fight him, but Gunther heads to the back.

It's time for The King's Speech. Tonight's special guest is Moose. Moose calls Slammiversary the most emotional moment of his life, and says that in his decade in TNA, he has beaten legends and champions, won championships, main evented pay-per-views, and now he has shared the ring with his family. Moose says that he will cherish that forever, then says that he will continue to dominate in TNA. He says that he chases nobody, and if anyone wants some, they can come get some. Kazarian says that Moose has held it down and become dominant in TNA, and that Moose is in the conversation of who the face of TNA is, but Moose says that he is the conversation. This leads to Kazarian asking Moose "Are you stupid?" and saying that he has to be to say he is the face of the franchise while in the presence of a king, but Moose wants to know who crowned Kazarian "King of TNA." Kazarian says it is the people, but Moose says he is "the face of the franchise" because he has seen people come and go and has seen people make a name for themselves in TNA and leave to chase money and stardom. Moose then says that he is not going anywhere, and for that, he is "the face of the place." Kazarian says that he is the last TNA original standing, a pioneer of the X-Division, and a Grand Slam Champion who has helped build TNA from the ground up. Moose says that Kazarian may be the most annoying person in the locker room, he respects him and considers him a pillar of TNA. Moose then mentions that he and Kazarian have never had a singles match. Moose proposes that they give the fans a first-time-ever dream match, but Kazarian says he has no interest in that and says that he has talked to somebody and that they both agree that Moose is an idiot with an ugly NFL career. That person ends up being AJ Francis, who shows up with Expressions and mentions his own NFL career before saying Moose left the NFL before he could arrive because he is scared of him. Moose says he is done talking and wants to fight, and proposes he and Francis go one-on-one. Expressions interrupts, saying things are done on AJ Francis' time and that Francis is a prizefighter; nevertheless, they accept, but for next week.

Backstage, Mustafa Ali says that change is needed and that there will be a "State of the Order" address with mandatory attendance as he puts on a tie.

KC Navarro heads to the ring. Navarro talks about last week, saying he spent a lot of time with a man he looked up to, respected and called a hero only to be turned on, then says that if "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth is a real man, then he should come to the ring to explain himself. Nic Nemeth shows up and says he believed in Navarro and thought that if he could have some time, he could make Navarro into the next upcoming star of TNA, but "nobody has that much time" and he realized that Navarro did not deserve to stand near him. He says that Navarro is "pretty good," but he just "does not have it." Navarro says he busted eleven years to get to TNA and says that it is Nic's brother "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth who does not have "it." Navarro is suddenly blindsided by Ryan, and Nic says that it is easy to say that blood is thicker than water, then says that Navarro did not even belong to be in his shadow before telling Navarro to leave him and his family alone.

He says that if this is truly it and he can never hold championship gold in AEW ever again, he would shake MJF's hand and congratulate him on a job well done. Omega then tells MJF that he will not make it easy, and asks MJF if he is willing to stomp out his last dream of headlining All In. He says that he is ready this time and that this will not like their match in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

He hopes that by the end of tonight, Omega will get past MJF's antics and face him at All In. MJF shows up and tells Ospreay that he should be thanking him instead of judging him, as he has put AEW in a golden era, and says that he was "the feeling" all along while Ospreay and Omega are just "good little wrestlers." MJF then tells Ospreay that after tonight, Omega will never challenge for his championship ever again, and he will then take great pleasure in breaking Ospreay's neck at All In. Ospreay says that MJF is nowhere near the best and begs for people to tell him how good he is and that until MJF can do it on his own, he will not be part of the conversation and never will be.

Fletcher says that "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita was never his friend and was always riding his coattails, and that he has brought the International title back to the family. Don Callis says that this is about his family, not Mick Foley stealing the spotlight from the real talent here. Foley then tells Callis about credibility before mentioning his custom-made shoes with his late dog Randall and his current dog Wooffall. He then tells Callis that if he interrupts him again, Wooffall will get acquainted with the inner confines of Callis' ass.

Suddenly, Andrade el Idolo shows up and says he was the best of The Don Callis Family and that Callis promised him the AEW World Championship, but now, he promises to take one title from him.
