Collision Course - Collision recap for September 16, 2023

We hear from Claudio Castagnoli, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, Big Bill, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Kris Statlander, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., John Silver, Evo Uno, and The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) at the start of the show.

"Absolute" Ricky Starks and Big Bill beat The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson) after Starks hits Danielson with a low blow after the referee is distracted. Big Bill and Ricky Starks get out of the ring after the match when Claudio gets in with a chair.



We hear from The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and "Hangman" Adam Page. Page says that if The Mogul Embassy want a trios match, then they should put the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships on the line. The Young Bucks tell The Mogul Embassy that they will see them next week.

We hear from Powerhouse Hobbs, who says that one needs to know when to move on, but the next chapter of his book is called "Destruction" and nobody is safe.

We hear from Miro, who says Powerhouse Hobbs should be thanking him, but everything he did to him did not make him humble and they will have to meet again. He then says his god delivered temptation in the form of his wife, and questions why his god wants to pull him back. He says that if anyone does not want to be redeemed, then he will put them in pine boxes and send them to his god.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Iron Savages (Boulder and Bronson). After the match, The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry) show up wanting a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. FTR lay the titles down and shake hands before having a staredown while Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) watches from backstage.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "Limitless" Keith Lee. All of a sudden, Shane Taylor and Lee Moriarty show up, and Taylor names Moriarty the newest member of Shane Taylor Promotions. Shane Taylor and Keith Lee then entertain the idea of a match against each other after Shane says Keith Lee has been running from him and Keith says he knows about Shane's past and how he has been running.

Before the next match, John Silver says that he has Googled scissoring and that The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) has been doing it wrong, then states that "Platinum" Max Caster and "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn are banned from ringside according to the match contract, which he produces.

John Silver beats Anthony Bowens after Evil Uno crawls out of the ring and attacks Anthony Bowens behind the referee's back.



We hear from Eddie Kingston, who says that Claudio Castagnoli never respected him and left potholes on the way out of the indies that he and his friends had to clean up. He says he has been trying to fix it, but nothing he has done has able to fix it, but their match at Grand Slam will. Eddie says he is right when Claudio says that he cannot have friends because he pushes them away and blames them, but he always home on his side and he will not let Claudio beat him in New York. He says that New Yorkers are built in the cold and the misery and that while Claudio is a great wrestler, he cannot say the same about himself.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Orange Cassidy and Hook as they share a bag of Doritos. Orange proposes they should do a tag team match at Grand Slam, and Hook is for it.

Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) quickly beat two unnamed opponents. (The opponents in question are independent wrestlers PB Smooth and Wes Barkley.) After the match, Mark Davis asks FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) if they are paying attention, and Kyle Fletcher boasts above having two quick victories in two nights and states that while FTR have won tag told everywhere they have went, so have Aussie Open. He says that if FTR want to throw out open challenges, they do not care, because they are calling their shot at WrestleDream, one year to the day that they were last in the ring.



We see footage of RJ City interviewing Toni Storm. Toni Storm says she has not changed, but the business has, and that every woman has to have some sort of sob story. She says that nobody knows what talent is even if it "slapped their tits off."



We hear from Scorpio Sky, who says that he wants to face the best in the world and that he is doing just that with Andrade el Idolo.

Andrade el Idolo beats Scorpio Sky with the Figure Eight. After the match, Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White, "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn) shows up, and "Switchblade" Jay White mentions that Andrade had a lot of fun watching Bullet Club Gold from backstage last week. He says that Andrade wants "that Switchblade spotlight," then says everyone wants it and no one can handle it before challenging Andrade to a match next week to prove that Andrade cannot hang with him. Jay White then says they can do it right now, and when Andrade approaches Bullet Club Gold, security stands between them.



Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Katsuyori Shibata, who who says that he is one of the best wrestlers in the world and a great champion, and that at WrestleDream, he is coming.

The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) beat The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) after Dutch yanks Jeff Hardy off the top rope to stop the Swanton Bomb. After the match, Dutch says he and Vincent are two believers who see truth in the liars' eyes, then Vincent says that he and Dutch have beaten one of the greatest tag teams in a world who are fooled by false icons and a devil on their shoulder. He says he does not believe in the devil and that their truth will lead them to the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships.



We see a video package for Claudio Castagnoli vs. Eddie Kingston for the Ring of Honor World Championship and the New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Championship at Grand Slam.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Cash Wheeler says that they will get past The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry), and Dax Harwood says that they will face Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) with or without the titles.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Big Bill and "Absolute" Ricky Starks. Starks mentions that he has no match for WrestleDream and that he is beyond exhausted, then says he wants to be "The American Nightmare" Bryan Danielson's nightmare following his dream of beating him, and he wants him in a Texas Death Match next week.

Kris Statlander retains the TBS Championship against Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. after Britt gets Kris in the Lockjaw and Kris rolls Britt onto her shoulders for the pinfall victory.
