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."

The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) get an upset win against Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) after Truth Magnum stopped a Doomsday Device attack by Grizzled Young Veterans and Turbo Floyd pins Zack Gibson with a Victory Roll to earn The Outrunners their second televised AEW win.

We see a video package of Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.'s return where Britt Baker says that she belongs in the AEW Women's World Championship picture and that she has not had a shot at the title since she lost it. She says that she likes what she sees in "The Glamour" Mariah May, but she has what she wants and her time is up. Britt says that she expects nothing to be handed to her and that she will be ready to fight on Title Tuesday.

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. Willow blocks the cheap shot, throws Mariah over the barricade and goes to town. Mariah manages to avoid the Doctor Bomb and slap Willow, then runs away.

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.

Wheeler Yuta beats Beef with Cattle Mutilation as Jon Moxley, PAC and "The Problem" Marina Shafir watch from the crowd.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Hook, who calls out whoever attacked his father Taz for a match on Dynamite, saying that there is no more hiding.

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.

The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy and Kyle O'Reilly) beats The Premier Athlets (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari). During the match, "Smart" Mark Sterling distracts the referee, allowing Josh Woods to pull Orange Cassidy out of the ring. Rocky "Azucar" Romero confronts Woods and beats him up, but Sterling hits Romero with a low blow before he and Woods gang up on him. Mark Briscoe shows up and brawls with Woods before taking their brawl to the back, then Sterling confronts Romero only to get punched by Orange. Nese tries to pin Orange with a schoolkid pin, but Orange kicks out and hits him with the Beach Break for the pin and the win after O'Reilly locks in the guillotine choke on Daivari.

Backstage, Lance Archer is seen attacking people outside of the arena until Don Callis approaches him, asking if he is still represented by Jake Roberts. Archer says yes after throwing somebody into a nearby 18-wheeler, then leaves. Callis says "Good to know."

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Mercedes Moné and "The Brickhouse" Kamille. 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. Dante is able to take out Malakai and Matthews with a tope suicida, but Private Party is able to hit Darius with Gin and Juice to win the match and the title shot.

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!
