Collision Course - Collision recap for October 14, 2026

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, Gabe Kidd, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Jon Moxley starts throwing things around and smacking a wooden pallet with a metal bar over two losses in a row. Moxley says he is in a great deal of pain and that he cannot tell the difference anymore. Shafir says to Moxley "Eyes up, lock in. The only way out...is through."

Ricochet beats Ace Austin in a Clockwork Carnage qualifier.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews The Don Callis Family (Don Callis Family, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Jet" Kevin Knight). Fletcher says he and Knight are both incredible talents individually, but Don Callis has laid out his vision and it is working spectacularly, and now that they are gelling as a team, they can win the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Knight says that they make an impact every time they step into the ring as he agrees with Fletcher. Callis says Fletcher and Knight may not have been a team for a long time, but with him, they have the advantage against The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). All of a sudden, Fletcher and Knight are superkicked from off-screen by The Young Bucks, then Matt apologizes for their tardiness before stating that they will be on time for WrestleDream.

"The Prodigy" Nick Wayne heads to the ring for his victory celebration. It consists of Nick Wayne saying "Nick Wayne beat Chris Jericho" before pyrotechnics go off on the stage. When the pyrotechinics go off the third time, however, Chris Jericho shows up, much to Nick Wayne's chagrin, and Nick Wayne says that the fans need a mental reminder as to how important and essential his win against Jericho is. We then see a video package of Nick Wayne beating Chris Jericho at Grand Slam France, then Jericho says that he has a few friends in the editing bay and that he made a video out of what Nick Wayne conveninently left out: the low blow that he hit before hitting Wayne's World. Nick Wayne says that Jericho is stupid, not clever, to need an excuse as to why he lost, but Jericho says it is reality and that he showed it for two reasons: he used a low blow to beat him, but they are now tied with one win each, and that they will have the rubber match at WrestleDream. Nick Wayne sees this as Jericho wanting to lose to him again and accepts the challenge, on the condition that Jericho come back to the ring and apologize to him for everything he did to him if he loses. Jericho accepts the condition, as he still has some lessons that Nick Wayne needs to learn. They shake hands, but Nick Wayne mentions that Jericho only mentioned one reason, and Jericho says he showed him the low blow so he could kick him in the groin, which Jericho decides to do before telling Nick Wayne that he will see him at WrestleDream.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Samoa Joe and Tommaso Ciampa. He says that he has left Andrade el Idolo unconscious twice and that he will do it again at WrestleDream. Samoa Joe says he gave a preview of the future and that just like tonight, everyone in Clockwork Carnage will be choked out. He hopes to find out who will be the last to qualify for Clockwork Carnage, then says that everyone else in the match are all active targets.

Hyan and Dani Luna beat Persephone and Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. after Dani Luna knocks Britt Baker into Persephone after Persephone nearly inadvertently hits Britt Baker with one of her titles. After the match, Persephone beats Dani Luna up before also attacking Hyan, then Queen Aminata shows up with a leather belt in her hands and chases Persephone and Britt out of the ring. It is then announced that there will be a four-way match between Dani Luna, Hyan, Queen Aminata and Persephone for the TBS Championship at WrestleDream.

We see a vignette with a conductor and a metronome as someone runs the ropes in a ring.

Darby Allin retains the TNT Championship against Hechicero in a Clockwork Carnage qualifier. After the match, The Don Callis Family (Okada, Archer, Romero) runs into the ring and attacks Darby, but Will Ospreay and "Speedball" Mike Bailey suddenly show up and clear the ring. Okada is about to get the upper hand on Ospreay when Adam Copeland runs in and confronts Okada, which leads to Copeland hitting the Impaler on Okada after a brief staredown. Ricochet suddenly appears and takes out Copeland, and Speedball fends off Ricochet only to miss the somersault knees, allowing Ricochet to hit the Spirit Gun. "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita shows up and hits the Blue Thunder Bomb on Ricochet, then Samoa Joe shows up and brawls with Takeshita. Joe lays out Takeshita, but Ospreay gets back in the ring and hits the Hidden Blade on Samoa Joe. Okada goes for a piledriver on Ospreay, and Copeland goes for a Spear on Okada only to inadvertently hit Ospreay. Darby Allin dropkicks Okada, then hits a Coffin Drop on everyone else on the outside. The show ends with everyone brawling as security and officials triy to restore order.
