Summer Blockbuster - Collision recap for June 13, 2026

Kenny Omega beats Bad Dude Tito. After the match, Omega says it has been a week, and that his next action is to get back to the top. He says he could make it back in time for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, but he did get a challenge from Zack Sabre Jr. Omega says that before Bryan Danielson and even Nigel McGuinness graced AEW, Zack Sabre Jr. was there, and people still mention his name. Omega says Zack Sabre Jr. will take him to the next level, and he will see him at Forbidden Door. He also says it is a matter of time before he meets MJF again.

We hear from Mark Davis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher backstage. Fletcher says Mark Davis was taken out of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament because of "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, who Fletcher says cannot keep his name out of his mouth. He says it is time to take some revenge against Takeshita and bring the International Championship back to the family. "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up and agrees with Fletcher.

Hikaru Shida beats "The Real Deal" Zayda Steel in a TBS Championship Survival of the Fittest qualifier by submission. It takes Christopher Daniels as well as the ref to get Shida off of Zayda after the match.

The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier) beat Aaron and Austin Atlas. After the match, Dezmond Xavier says The Rascalz have gone from mile high madness to summer blockbusters and have become the hottest trio in wrestling. Zachary Wentz says that the fans deserve to see all three of them, then bring out Myron Reed. Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight retains the TNT Championship against Myron Reed.

We hear from The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross). Kross says that because of their domination, there will be no one left, and Megan Bayne wonders if there is anyone who can beat them.

We hear from Maya World, whose brother - who introduced her to wrestling - recently passed away. She felt she needed to be in AEW with her second family, and after her win in the Women's Omen Hart Tournament, she will have to face Athena again. Maya says she is no Cinderella story and that this is the opportunity of her life, and she is taking that opportunity. We then hear from Athena, who is more focused on the work that she herself has put in, and states that she did not teach Maya everything that she knew. She says she never made it past the second round and it put a fire in her, and that just because Maya World is "the It Girl" does not mean that she is not in her world.

Athena beats Tiara James. After the match, Athena attacks Tiara James again, but gets out of the ring when Maya World runs in. Suddenly, Athena runs back into the ring and lays out both women, with Tiara's face being rammed into the Ring of Honor Women's World Championship.

Backstage, we hear from The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Ricochet has had success after success, yet he has had as many downs as ups. He says that he is focused on championship gold and that he wants the International Championship.

The Dogs (David Finlay and Clark Connors) beat The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson).

Backstage, we hear from The Conglomeration (Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong, Tomohiro Ishii). Kyle O'Reilly says they have a path to Mark Briscoe's World title shot, and while it is rocky, it is a path nonetheless. Roderick Strong says he hates MJF, and O'Reilly says that Mark Briscoe will be the next World Champion.

Tony Schiavone is about to apologize on behalf of AEW to Stardom for "The Toxic Spider" Thekla's recent actions when Thekla shows up and says she will not apologize, then says she has reached the top of the world after Stardom fired her. She says she did Stardom a favor when she spat on their logo, and says her saliva is worth more than anything Stardom has in the locker room before daring Stardom to send their best for a shot at the AEW Women's World Championship. Thekla also offers a free first-class flight to Forbidden Door to the president of Stardom so he can see the the monster that he created and the biggest mistake that he ever made.

We hear from The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin). All four members have plans to neuter The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay).

Persephone beats Julia Hart in a TBS Championship Survival of the Fittest qualifier.

We see a video package for Starlight Kid. Lexy Nair then interviews "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who says that she despites everything about her just like Stardom and that Starlight' Kid's first time in AEW will be her last. She says that she will spit on Starlight Kid's grave and that the blood of Stardom will be on her hands.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight guests on commentary for the next match.

Jake Doyle beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey.

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, PAC, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) beat Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, Trish Adora) in a Cincinnati Street Fight.
