Collision Course - Collision recap for April 2, 2026

Jon Moxley beats Anthony Bowens in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match. After the match, Moxley is suddenly hit with a Hidden Blade by Will Ospreay, who then grabs the metal folding chair used by Ahtnony Bowens earlier in the match to strike Moxley with it. The rest of The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) narrowly save Moxley, who accidentally leaves the Continental Championship in the ring as Ospreay calls him out for injuring people with chairs and usually having Castagnoli do the deed before telling Moxley that he wants his neck after putting a chair around his neck and doing the stomping himself. Ospreay says he will see Moxley at Dynasty, then wants the Continental Championship on the line so that there are no seconds at ringside and he gets Moxley alone for twenty minutes.

We hear from The Don Callis Family ("The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Andrade el Idolo, Mark Davis) backstage. Okada says that Andrade and Davis have a tag team match against The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed), and tells Davis that this is a chance to get revenge to what happened to "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, who he considers his best friend, unlike "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. After wanting to know where Takeshita is, Okada tells Davis that he has a better tag team partner than Takeshita will ever be in Andrade, who he says is a future world champion, and tonight, Andrade will fight for Kyle Fletcher and he will fight closely.

The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) beat Ava Lawless and Kristara.

Backstage, we hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Moxley says he is not surprised by Will Ospreay's behavior lately and that he is surprised that Ospreay challenged him for the Continental Championship, stating that they are both going down a dark alley and only one of them will come out. He calls this the purest form of competition in pro wrestling and the Continental Championship the highest stakes in the game, and that Ospreay would be smart enough not to do this at less than 100%, which Moxley considers "one hell of a bluff." He says that The Death Riders are about keeping the sport pure, and that he will let delusional people be delusional and have them find out whatever they need to find out in due time. Moxley says to expect no mercy, even though he does not have to beat Ospreay because Ospreay will beat himself.

We hear from The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin). MVP announces that Lashley is cleared for action again and that The Hurt Syndicate is in the market to add new talent to the ranks, as they are back in business and business is about to pick up, and they will do what they do better than anyone: hurt people.

Willow Nightingale's open challenge for the TBS Championship is answered by Hikaru Shida.

Willow Nightingale retains the TBS Championship against Hikaru Shida with a high stack-up pin. After the match, Shida almost attacks Willow with a shinai, but ultimately does not.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) - who head to the ring accompanied by security guards that surround the ring - beat Mo Jabari and London Lightning after playing possom with London Lightning so they can hit him with the Shatter Machine. Immediately after the match, Christian Cage shows up with a metal folding chair, and is soon joined by Adam Copeland, who also has a chair. They power straight through security and brawl with FTR in the ring, and Christian hits Dax with a low blow before biting Cash so that Copeland can hit Cash with the Impaler. Copeland and Christian then go for the Con-Chair-To on Cash, but it is stopped by Stokely Hathaway. Two security guards go after Copeland and Christian, but they both get taken out, and one of them receives the Con-Chair-To by Christian.

In backstage footage from after last night's Dynamite, Lexy Nair interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) and Mina Shirakawa. Windsor says that when they brawl, they brawl, and if Mina wants to spread her wings, she has her back. Hayter is proud of being New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women's Champion, then states that she has been AEW Women's World Champion before only to have the title ripped away from her and have the title elude her ever since. Hayter calls out "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, saying she has a big mouth for someone so small and that she has beaten her once and she will beat her again. Mina tells Hayter not to beat Thekla, but to "beat the piss" out of Thekla.

Tommaso Ciampa beats Juice Robinson.

Backstage, we hear from Isiah Kassidy, who says that it is time to change again now that Marq Quen is out indefinitely thanks to Jon Moxley. Kassidy says that Moxley forgot that he has been drowning his whole life and that he knows how to breath in deep water, then says that he did not come this far to come this far that he is going to eat because he is starving for opportunity.

In backstage footage from after Dynamite, Darby Allin says he has Andrade el Idolo, who is currently the best version he has ever been, and if he can get through him, he can get a shot at the AEW World Championship. Suddenly, Brody King and "Jungle" Jack Perry show up, and Brody mentions his history with Darby while Jack Perry mentions that Darby set him on fire before Brody states that Darby was there for him against The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Darby says they all hate The Don Callis Famil and can co-exist for one night next week on Dynamite. Brody and Perry agree, but Perry is still hung up on the fact that Darby set him on fire.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

The Don Callis Family (Andrade el Idolo and Mark Davis) beat The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier). After the match, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) show up and attack The Rascalz. Myron Reed gets in the ring and fends off RPG Vice while Okada retreats, and he eventually hits all three men with a somersault over the top rope.

The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong), Mistico and "The Jet" Kevin Knight beat The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) in an eight-man tornado tag match.
