Collision Course - Collision recap for January 3, 2026

We hear from Timeless Love Bombs ("Timeless" Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa), Christopher Daniels, Dante Martin, MVP, Shelton Benjamin and Darby Allin at the start of tonight's show.

El Clon beats Angelico. After the match, Serpentico checks on Angelico only for El Clon to attack him. Komander shows up to make the save, and El Clon immediately retreats.



Backstage, we hear from Jon Moxley, who talks about somehow coming out of the Continental Classic as Continental Champion as well as Shelton Benjamin, saying he is one of the baddest and has his respect, and that while Shelton will throw him around, he will have to do more than hurt him.



Timeless Love Bombs ("Timeless" Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa) beat Hyan and Maya World. As Timeless Love Bombs leave, Marina Shafir heads to the ring for the next match.



"The Problem" Marina Shafir and Megan Bayne beat Raché Chanel and Londyn Dior with a Death Valley Driver from Megan to Londyn on Raché followed by Mother's Milk from Shafir to Raché.



Backstage, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Hechicero and Lance Archer attack people backstage as Alexander states that The Don Callis Family will dominate this weekend.

Hechicero beats Komander to face Mark Briscoe for the TNT Championship next week after El Clon shoves Komander off the top rope as the referee checks on Hechicero.




We see footage of "The Acclaimed" doing some team-building exercises. (One of them involves a man in a Santa Claus suit, who is played by Fallah Bahh.)

Tony Schiavone interviews Eddie Kingston and Ortiz in the ring. After wishing two fans with birthday signs a happy birthday and thanking them for coming out tonight, Eddie says that he is glad Ortiz is back. Eddie calls Ortiz his "right hand" that "keeps [him] calm and cool" and that he will be around a little bit longer thanks to him, then Ortiz says Eddie has the gift of gab while he has the gift of putting his foot up people's asses. Ortiz says that they are coming for Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake), as does Eddie.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Big Bill and "The Outlaw" Bryan Keith. Big Bill says JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey) have made a lot of enemies, and that he has heard from a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy that there is a bounty on them. Bryan Keith says that he is taking that bounty and that when the money comes calling, it is time to pay up.

JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey) beat Big Bill and "The Outlaw" Bryan Keith.



Backstage, we hear from Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake). Gibson says Eddie Kingston and Ortiz may have everyone fooled, but he and Drake see through them, and that they are not done by a long shot. He says that Grizzled Young Veterans will make a name for themselves at Eddie and Ortiz's expense. Drake asks Eddie how much of a hero he will be when they taret his leg, and how much of a Good Samaritan Ortiz will be when he is dragged into the deep end.

Shelton Benjamin beats Dante Martin. Shortly after the beginning of the match, Shelton shoves Dante off the top rope into the barricade with authority, potentially injuring him. During the commercial break, MVP tells Dante Martin to stay down so he does not get hurt, but when MVP lays down the microphone, Dante tells Shelton Benjamin that his mother did not raise a bitch before asking if his mother did the same. After the match, MVP demands a round of applause for Dante Martin, saying Scorpio Sky called in sick when he found out he was facing Shelton Benjamin. Shelton and Dante shake hands, then MVP demands a round of applause for Shelton. MVP says Shelton does not need him to talk him up as his accomplishments speak for him, which leads to Jon Moxley. He gives credit where credit is due to Moxley for winning the Continental Championship, and while he considers Moxley a cult-like leader for The Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, PAC, Marina Shafir), The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) just wants to make money. MVP knows that Moxley loves pain and bleeding like a stuck pig, but calls Shelton "the apex predator" and declares that while Moxley is dangerous, Shelton is even more dangerous, as while Moxley is driven by ideology, he is not Shelton Benjamin. MVP says Moxley will get hurt very badly, because The Hurt Syndicate hurts people.



In backstage footage from earlier today, Lexy Nair interviews Bandido and Sammy Guevara. Guevara is irritated that Bandido is getting a shot at his destiny at his expense, and challenges him to a match next week and do something so heinous that he will take his place as ROH World Champion. Bandido asks Guevara why he is so angry, then gives him his title match.

It is announced that Stokely Hathaway has been injured at Worlds End. We hear a message from Stokely who says that he has been receiving excellent hospital care and that his hospital bills have exceeded $400,000. We also see fans with flyers with "The Stokely Foundation" on them.

Jon Moxley guests on commentary for the next match.

Darby Allin beats Wheeler Yuta by submission with a double foot stomp in the corner, two Coffin Drops and the Scorpion Deathlock. During the match, "The Problem" Marina Shafir gets ejected from ringside, which leads to her getting attacked by "Timeless" Toni Storm and Daniel Garcia becoming Wheeler's new ringside second after Daniel Garcia attacks Darby at ringside behind the referee's back.
