Collision Course - Collision recap for October 5, 2024

Darby Allin beats Johnny TV. After the match, Darby says that he issued an open challenge on Dynamite for WrestleDream, and if anyone wants to make a name for themselves off of him, then tonight is the night to step up. The open challenge is not answered, and Darby says the locker room is full of complacent people who refuse to step up. As Darby makes his way to the back, he has his back turned to the entrance tunnels, and he is suddenly shoved down the ramp by Brody King, who then powerbombs him on the ring apron before forcing him to the ring post to tell Darby that he accepts his challenge.

We see video of The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) becoming "The FTRunners," with FTR getting "the stuff:" "the meat," "the look" and "the attitude."

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Rocky "Azucar" Romero, Willow Nightingale). Willow tells Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. to wait her turn, as she wants the AEW Women's World Championship and she wants "The Glamour" Mariah May. Tonight, however, she has a match with Trish Adora, then heads off. Mark Briscoe says that he feels sorry for Trish Adora tonight before mentioning that Orange and O'Reilly have The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari) in what will be a premier ass-whupping. He then says he will be addressing "The Learning Tree' Chris Jericho shortly before declaring the words of the day to be "diversification" and "sophistication" as they are the most diversified and sophisticated group in wrestling that there is.

Willow Nightingale beats Trish Adora. "The Glamour" Mariah May is seen in the crowd before and during the match. After the match, Willow confronts Mariah, who presses the AEW Women's World Championship up onto Willow's face before going for a cheap shot.

Backstage, Alicia Atout interviews Willow Yuta. Yuta is soon met by PAC, Claudio Catagnoli and "The Problem" Marina Shafir, and Claudio makes it so that he meets with Yuta alone. Claudio tells Yuta to let it out, and Yuta says he trusted Claudio and has done more than what he asked, yet he does not know who he is after he betrayed "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and acted like everything was okay. Claudio asks Yuta if he ever steered him wrong and wished that he still trusted him, as he always had his back, then asks what Danielson ever did for him. He says that no matter what happens, he will still have his back.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Glamour" Mariah May, who says everyone is drooling for a shot at her, and says she is the prettiest woman at the dance while everyone is ugly. She says that Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. is unworthy of a title shot after only one win and tells her to go back to her office and floss. As for Willow Nightingale, Mariah says she is lucky to even be here and is not even worthy of looking at her title. Interim Executive Vice President Christopher Daniels shows up and confronts Mariah May for picking fights with everyone, then makes a match between Willow and Britt where the winner faces Mariah May for the AEW Women's World Championship at WrestleDream, much to Mariah's chagrin.

Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling says he and The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Josh Woods) have given chances to other towns to be part of a winning team only to fail, and that the people of Toledo, Ohio have enough intelligence to say that The Premier Athletes rule. Instead, the fans say they suck like every other town.

Mercedes boasts about everything she has done for AEW and her video package from Dynamite, then brags about changing the game and how she is unstoppable with Kamille, who she calls "more than a woman," by her side. Kris Statlander says she has heard that before, then says she has a match tonight and tells them to "watch it...bitches." She then bumps into Kamille on her way out.

Hologram beats Action Andretti, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and Komander in a four-way match.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Beast Mortos when Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett) demands that The Beast Mortos side with them instead of Rush and Dralistico.

Kris Statlander quickly beats Zoey Lynn. After the match, Mercedes Moné and "The Brickhouse" Kamille arrive. Mercedes admits she is impressed with Statlander, but proclaims that she is the face and CEO of the women's division and that Statlander will be the next person to find out what happens when somebody messes with her. Mercedes sics Kamille on Statlander, and this starts a fight between the two that leads to Kamille hitting Statlander with the Road to Damascus.

Backstage, we hear from Darby Allin. Darby says all Brody King had to do was ask, then says he has a lot to say to him, as he has never been able to pin him in the ring. Darby then says he wants Brody face-to-face in the ring, as everything he has in AEW is because of him, as he is the one who asked Tony Khan to hire him. Darby states that Brody wants everything he has, but he will have to work really hard to take it from him.

Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) beats Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) and The House of Black (Malakai Black and Buddy Matthews) to earn a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships at WrestleDream after Action Andretti throws a bottle of water at Buddy Matthews.

He then says he is here to talk about tonight, not the past, and repairing his image as "The Phenomenal One," as there are people who need to be reminded that SmackDown is the house that he built. Carmelo Hayes shows up and says that after everything Styles has done, he is not surprised there is not a long line of people welcoming him back, and that he has decided to be the guy to do just that. Carmelo then brags about beating Andrade three times and holding it down on the blue brand since Styles has been gone, then says that he is a fan of Styles and "old-timers like [him]" before tooting his own horn again.

Nia and Tiffany show up and head to the ring, then Nia tells Bayley to say what she has to say to her face. Bayley says that as long as she has known Nia, Nia has never known or understood the significance of the WWE Women's Championship to people like her who grew up as fans. Bayley talks about how she watched past female Superstars win the title and become larger than life and more than human, which is not what Nia Jax comes across to her, even though none of them have had a dominant run as Nia herself. She then says there are two people who can take the title off of her: her and Tiffany. Bayley predicts that Tiffany will cash in on Nia the minute that Tiffany gets tired of her. Tiffany says she does not need the Money In The Bank Briefcase to beat Nia Jax, then gets flustered when Nia confronts her for saying that before telling Bayley to 'bow down to [her] queen." Bayley says she respects Nia more than she does Tiffany and would rather bow down to her than patronize a stupid bitch. Tiffany attacks Bayley only to get knocked down, and Bayley then takes out Nia Jax with the briefcase.

Tiffany tells Nia that she would never turn on her.

Briscoe says that being a man means not making excuses, and while he could make excuses and state that he had Jericho beaten in New York City, they were in a tornado tag team match where anything was legal, and he is calling it like it is. Mark Briscoe then calls Jericho one of the most influential and finest pro wrestlers in the last four decades, as it works out well for him that Jericho pinned him, as Jericho is in line for a title shot that he personally looks forward to. He says that the word of the day is "consequential," as he will consequentially beat Chris Jericho to retain his championship, but Jericho says Mark Briscoe cannot beat him before stating that maybe his brother Jay Briscoe could have. Jericho then says that Mark will never be as good as Jay was, and Mark Briscoe chops him in the jaw, demands that Jericho keep his brother's name out of his mouth, and tells him that if he wants to go that far, then he will get a Briscoe Brothers-style ass whupping. He then calls the knock down "consequential."

We hear from Darby Allin, who talks about how he was on a bus when he turned around and saw three men taking turns spitting on the back of his head and actually did something about it, and how he was reminded of those three guys when Jon Moxley told him he was not ready to be World Champion. He says he put everything on the line against Moxley and that it should have been him going on to WrestleDream, and while he says he is ready to be the face of AEW, he and the fans are both losing faith in himself and all he can do is face. Darby says he will be at WrestleDream, and puts out an open challenge to anyone in the locker room who wants to make a name for himself, as he has nothing left to lose.

"Hangman" Adam Page beats Juice Robinson after grabbing the referee while Juice has a hold of Hangman from behind, leaving him free to hit a low blow followed by a Buckshot Lariat for the win. During the match, it is announced that Title Tuesday is next Tuesday at 9 PM Eastern/8 PM Central. After the match, Hangman pulls his leather belt off of his tights and chokes and hangs Juice off the side of the ring again. Suddenly, "Switchblade" Jay White shows up for the first time in months and attacks Hangman from behind. Hangman escapes the ring and tries to flee through the crowd, but Jay White catches up to him, chops him multiple times, thumbs Hangman in both eyes, and Spears Hangman through the table that Hangman set up near the crowd.

Backstage, Renee Paquette waits for and gets an interviw with "Scapegoat" Jack Perry as soon as Perry gets out of his van, but "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata shows up and challenges Perry for the TNT title at WrestleDream. Perry says he will think about it and walks away, then suddenly blindsides Shibata and tells him that he accepts.

We hear from "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, who tells Jon Moxley that their match for the AEW World Championship is bigger than the both of them and that they have broken the system that professional wrestling was built on, which is why he challenged "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. He says that he and Okada both have a win apiece, and while Okada has broken his orbital bone, he has not broken his spirit. He says that his title is on the line for the whole match while Okada's is contested for only twenty minutes, but he would not want it any other way.

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. beats "The Professor" Serena Deeb with the Lockjaw. During the match, "The Glamour" Mariah May is seen watching from the crowd. After the match, Serena attacks Britt and puts her in the Serenity Lock, but Queen Aminata runs into the ring and fights Serena, who soon flees the ring.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Hook and mentions the attack on his father Taz from earlier today. An angry Hook says he will find who did this and come after them.

We hear from Christian Cage, who says that the fans have not seen anything from him yet after five years, for he is the face of AEW now and forever, the fans' father figure and the next World Champion, and soon enough, he will have it all, hook, line and sinker.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Glamour" Mariah May. Mariah May says Willow Nightingale has been "failing up" her way to the AEW Women's World Championship, then Willow confronts her, telling her to say what she has to say to her face. Mariah slaps Willow, Willow slaps Mariah back, and both women have to be kept apart.

Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) beat The Iron Savages (Boulder and Bronson). During the match, Stokely Hathaway is seen watching the match from backstage. After the match, Kassidy says he and Marq Quen promised they would be tag team champs in 2024 and that they meant every word, and that despite the injuries that they have suffered through the year, they will become tag team champions. He says that they beat The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) once and that they can beat them again, then says that they are feeling froggy and they can do it right now. The Young Bucks appear from behind the video screen, and Nicholas says AEW cannot have an anniversary show without the people who built the company. Matthew mentions that they have an overrun tonight and that he has an idea, then says they can put the tag team titles on the line right now before mentioning that they have limited dates and will not waste one of them on Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As The Young Bucks leave, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry shows up and attacks Marq Quen, then The Young Bucks run into the ring and join Perry. Suddenly, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata runs into the ring to even the numbers, and The Young Bucks and Jack Perry flee. Interim Executive Vice President Christopher Danielson shows up and says Private Party has been a thorn in The Young Bucks' side since the beginning of AEW and that he would love to see them piss The Young Bucks off. He then proposes a six-man match between the team of Private Party and Shibata and The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, Jack Perry) on Rampage.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews MVP, who is about to make an announcement when Prince Nana shows up and says MVP talked spicy about him and Swerve, and says MVP forgot he used to be a wrestler and that he will lace his boots up for him. MVP says that sounds like a complaint and that he does not do complaints, then introduces Shelton Benjamin, whom he calls the head of the complaint department. Shelton drinks from Prince Nana's coffee cup, then walks off with it alongside MVP.

"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson retains the AEW World Championship against "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada with a backslide pin after Claudio Castagnoli and PAC show up to watch from the front row. During the match, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada's AEW Continental Championship was also being defended, but Danielson failed to win the match within the first twenty minutes; therefore, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada retains the AEW Continental Championship. After the match, Okada hits Danielson with another Rainmaker, then blames Claudio and PAC for his loss before storming to the back. Claudio and PAC get in the ring and hold Danielson up for Jon Moxley, who soon shows up and tells Danielson that he is playing for something much bigger for himself and that he is doing what he is doing because he has to. He says that if it were up to him, he would have put Danielson out of his misery a long time ago. All of a sudden, Wheeler Yuta runs into the ring with a hammer and scares The Blackpool Combat Club (Moxley, Claudio, PAC) out of the ring, then Jon Moxley gets back in the ring and looks at Wheeler. Wheeler dares Moxley to give him a reason to hit him, and Danielson attacks Moxley. Danielson and Wheeler fight off The Blackpool Combat Club, who are sent into a retreat, and Wheeler says he is sick of Claudio and PAC treating him like a child, for he is his own man who can make his own decision and fight his own fights. He then says that if they want to go through Danielson next week, they will have to go through him. Danielson then joins in, making the challenge a tag team match.

D'Angelo is accompanied by The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Adrianne Rizzo, Luca Crusifino) until he walks down the ramp. D'Angelo says that all of his life, he has been the man to spark fear in the hearts of others and solve a few problems doing it, but Oba has been able to do it as of late as he has felt his power, aggressiveness and explosiveness, but he has used this fear as motivation to do the unthinkable. He says that next week, he will face and beat Oba Femi and become the new NXT North American Champion. Oba Femi says The Miz has been in the game long enough to know when somebody believes what they are saying, and that D'Angelo does not believe a word of what he says. He says that D'Angelo has been successful in NXT, but his success has a ceiling, and no matter what he does, he will never be North American Champion, as the title is his. D'Angelo says Oba Femi talks about him like he knows him when he has grown up twenty minutes from tonight's venue in Chicago, Illinois. He says he has family in the back and the crowd, both extended and immediate, who motivate him to be who he is. Oba tells D'Angelo that nobody, let alone his family, cannot fight for him, and it will be just the two of them in the ring. He says that he broke and beat D'Angelo and put doubt in his mind before, and he still cannot beat him. D'Angelo says Oba Femi is just a man, but Oba says he is inevitable while D'Angelo is still broken.
