Collision Course - Collision recap for October 25, 2025

"Hangman" Adam Page heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He says that one dies the hero or lives long enough to be the villian, then addresses The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata), saying The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta) may have hurt them, but never killed them, and that when they had the opportunity, The Opps cleared the way for someone to finally take the AEW World Championship from Jon Moxley, which he owes Samoa Joe for. He says that he gave Joe a shot at the AEW World Championship and told him what was going to happen, and while it took everything he had, he knocked Joe on his "big, burly ass" and beat him at WrestleDream. Hangman then says that Joe not only felt anger, but also embarrassment at being unable to beat him, and in that anger and embarrassment, The Opps stabbed him in the back. He tells The Opps that they have become the very thing they have fought against for so long and that they should have known better. He says that Joe should have known better than to think he could beat him and that The Opps should have known better than to make an enemy out of him. Hangman tells Joe that he is hunting him in response to Joe saying that he is hunting Hangman, as he is the World Champion and he is going to find him not when he is hurt or angry while off his game, but at the exact moment he decides to, and when he does, he will do far worse than embarass or beat Joe; he will ruin his entire life.

In footage from earlier today, PAC says that The Death Riders are playing the long game and that tonight, he will play his part once again.
