Collision Course - Collision recap for September 6, 2025

Jon Moxley beats Daniel Garcia after reversing a roll-up attempt with one of his own. After the match, "Daddy Magic' Matt Menard tries to console Garcia, but Garcia gently pushes him away. Tony Schiavone interviews Garcia, saying it has been "incredible performance after incredible performance" for the last five years with nothing to show for it even as he gets back up after he falls. He says it has been a good five years, but sometimes good is not good enough. He then heads to the back.

Backstage, we hear from Big Bill and "The Bounty Hunter" Bryan Keith. Big Bill says they are in the same building where he hit rock bottom only to be laughed at and ridiculed when the fans showed their true colors. He runs down the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and says that ever since that night, he has gotten in the best shape of his life and became a tag team champion, then says New York City has real tough guys like him. He says that another tough guy hails from New York City, but he has not heard from him in a long time. Big Bill then calls out Eddie Kingston.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat Adam Priest and "The Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington. After the match, Dax puts a crossface on Priest, and Billington makes the save. Stokely Hathaway then calls out Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, saying that FTR have taken all their feelings on their opponents. He states that at All Out, everyone will see the end of Copeland and Christian.

We hear from The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd). No sooner have they gotten back to basics with Brother Nature do they realize they are not alone in the woods. They soon see Dalton Castle's boys, then they see Dalton Castle and become a trio.

We hear from Jon Moxley in the parking lot. Moxley tells Garcia that he got what he wanted and gave him everything that he had, then wonders what he has that everyone else wants. He asks what else Darby Allin can take away from him, and says that belts are just basic units of measurements for small thinking and that one should think bigger. He says that when all is said and done, the results will think for themselves. Moxley says it breaks his heart that Darby Allin came back to look for a fight, and that nothing would making him happier than to see Darby standing next to him. He says that Darby will not go away and that he will have to do it himself and make room for the people he wants to be around, which is people who want to be masters of the craft. Moxley states that at All Out, he will put Darby Allin in the ground.

Kris Statlander, Harley Cameron, Mina Shirakawa and "Timeless" Toni Storm beat Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue, "The Toxic Spider" Thekla) and Megan Bayne in an All-Star 8-Woman Tag Match in which everyone is banned from ringside. After the match, Julia Hart and Skye Blue attack Statlander, and they and Thekla outpower the other team. Jamie Hayter shows up to make the save as Thekla is about to hit the Spear on Toni Afterwards, Jamie Hayter tries to help Toni up, but Toni is shocked due to the history between them. Statlander stands between them, and this leads to Toni challenging Hayter, Statlander and Thekla to a AEW Women's World Championship Fatal 4-Way Match at All Out.

We hear from "Inevitable" Ace Austin, who says it is not a matter of if, but when, he will achieve his goals, and that at AEW, he has everything to prove and everything to gain. He says he is one of the most creative, innovative and dynamic wrestlers today, and that he is not slowing down.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Austin Gunn and Juice Robinson. Austin Gunn admits that the Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) are down, and Juice Robinson says the cardboard standees have to go and that they need to play the hand they have been dealt and figure out what is next.

We hear from Mercedes Moné, who is irate at Riho's return. She says that Riho will never take her title, and that she has gone as far as to call out and team up with her teacher Emi Sakura and challenge Riho and Alex Windsor to a tag team match.

Tony Schiavone introduces "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Don Callis to the ring. Callis says he is so proud of Fletcher, as he has been everything he wanted Kenny Omega to be and more, and in thirty seconds, he put Kenny Omega out for good and "pulled the punk card" on "Hangman" Adam Page. He also praises Alexander for having the other team where he wanted them in their recent eight-man tag match. Alexander says it felt good and that it seems Hangman has it all, but he has something: the great and incomparable Don Callis. Alexander says that Hangman got the victory in their last meeting, but he is a different man than he was then and that he is running through Hangman both for himself and The Don Callis Family. Fletcher says this past Wednesday was merely step one in bringing the AEW World Championship back into the hands of The Don Callis Family, and that step two is Alexander taking on Hangman. As for what happens next, Mark Briscoe thinks he is in line for the TNT Championship, but he will be TNT Champion for a very long time. He also says Briscoe has to get past "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, which he says will not happen. Fletcher then says that he will step up to the likes of Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland, and if Alexander leaves the scraps of his opponents, then it is only a matter of time before he becomes a double champion. He tells Hangman that he wants a shot at the AEW World Championship and that he wants it at All Out, and this time, it will only take him two more weeks to be "the guy" in AEW. Fletcher says that he knows Hangman will accept his challenge or else he will put him on the shelf like he did Kenny Omega, and that he will pry the World Championship from his cold dead hands.

We find out that the evil Hologram is coming soon.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Conglomeration (Kyle O'Reilly, Hologram, Tomohiro Ishii) and Roderick Strong. As Kyle O'Reilly marvels at the advancements in cloning luchadors, Roderick says he should be the one facing Kyle Fletcher and Josh Alexander, but O'Reilly says they are a team and that Ishii will be heading back to Japan soon. Roddy says he would be happier if Ishii never came back and leaves, and O'Reilly calls for a break within The Conglomeration.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Anthony Bowens. As Anthony Bowens talks what is he is currently up to, Jerry Lynn shows up. He admits that Bowens is talented, but he has gone from "the top of the top" to "the bottom of the top" and that he needs to figure out what is missing.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita beats Mark Briscoe after Don Callis distracts the referee only for MJF to shove Mark Briscoe off the top rope, allowing Takeshita to hit the Raging Fire for the win. (Had Briscoe won, he would have gotten a shot at the TNT Championship.) After the match, MJF attacks Briscoe, but he is confronted by Takeshita. Takeshita shoves MJF, and Callis has to stand between them, saying that he and MJF have a deal. Briscoe and MJF then brawl, and security and officials have to get involved. MJF tells Mark Briscoe to name the time, the place, the match and the stipulation, saying it will not matter because Briscoe's ass is his. He then throws the microphone into the ring. Briscoe challenges MJF to a match at All Out, and states that while he does not have a stipulation yet due to the screwed up thoughts in his head, MJF has signed his own death warrant.
