Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega. Jericho says tonight is a big deal, because for the last four years, AEW has been built on his and Omega's animosity, and their rivalry has been nothing but stellar. He says that he and Omega have been at each other's throats since the beginning, but before WrestleDream, they have to find out if they can even coexist in the ring. Omega says their WrestleDream match has been set in stone, and while Omega admits he does not like Jericho, the Don Callis Family (Don Callis, Konosuke Takeshita, Sammy Guevara, Will Ospreay) is bigger than what they have, and he will have his back. He then asks if Jericho will have his, then Jericho says he will because they have to work together tonight and tomorrow night and they will take all their opponents out.
We see more of RJ City's interview with Toni Storm in part two of "Toni Storm: Portrait of a Star." Toni Storm says the peak of her career is right now, as all she does is peak.

We hear from Claudio Castagnoli, who says that despite having a weight lifted off his shoulder, he has never felt so good. He says one must not be a champion to act like one, and that one must look inside to see what keeps one going. He says the sport keeps going, and when there is a pay-per-view dedicated to the sport he loves, he will lay out the challenge to anybody who thinks they are man enough to step in his way. We then hear from Josh Barnett, who says everyone loves to talk about challenges and laying them out, but so often, people are not ready for what door they have opened up. He says war is ageless and the ring is a field of combat, and wherever a ring exists in the world, he will be found. Barnett then tells Claudio that he is really going to see what a challenge can become.
Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega beat Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) with the Walls of Jericho from Jericho to Bishop Kaun in the middle of the ring. After the match, Jericho says he and Omega can coexist. Omega says coexistence is part of the grand scheme of being part of the greatest and that the Don Callis Family (Don Callis, Konosuke Takeshita, Sammy Guevara, Will Ospreay) is bigger than them. He says that Don Callis never listened to the fans and that he has now seen the light after being brainwashed, and that it will take more than a beating to cause him to turn on his friends. he says that tomorrow at WrestleDream, it is time for the original Alpha and the original Omega to spell the end of Don Callis. Jericho says that tomorrow at WrestleDream, they and Kota Ibushi will beat The Don Callis Family, and says that Sammy Guevara is "the ultimate Judas" while he is the villain and he will ruin Guevara's life.
We hear from The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch). Dutch says it is time to take the final step to the terrying ledge of truth, and Vincent says that they do not need to hurt Adam Cole or MJF, and devil or not, nobody can hurt The Righteous more than themselves, and asks Cole and MJF what power they think over them.

Vincent says that they will tear apart the bond that keeps MJF and Adam Cole together, which is the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships.
The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) beat Travis Williams and Judas Icarus. After the match, Vincent says to look at all the paper people strung together, as it is the same paper people who believe that MJF truly is the devil. He then says MJF is the devil, as the devil pulls the strings that make the people dance and the same strings that tie together Adam Cole. He says that The Righteous will not only become Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions, but they will make sure the devil leaves with only one hook. Dutch then pulls the wooden beam out from underneath the ring and places it between Judas Icarus' feet, then Vincent smashes one of Judas Icarus' feet with a chair.

Zack Sabre Jr. leaves the commentary table to have a staredown with Danielson in the middle of the ring which gets physical when Sabre shoves Danielson and Danielson slaps him as a result.
Orange Cassidy heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Orange Cassidy says hello back to the fans and thanks them back, and even though he was told to stay home, he was not going to do that, because championship or no championship, he will be here every single week. As Orange Cassidy leaves, Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli make their way to the ring. Orange looks back at Moxley before making his way up the ramp, then looks at AR Fox and Darby Allin before leaving with Darby.

MJF heads to the ring. MJF talks about how he lived in Indiana while making his name in the independent circuit, then asks the state of Indiana "Who's your daddy?" This leads to some MJF chants. He then goes on to talk about his title defense at All Out before announcing that he is wrestling at Grand Slam in two weeks and that he is coming back to New York City and that his next challenger will find out they are not on "the level of The Devil." MJF then states that a certain person needs to be taught a lesson, but before he can even utter Samoa Joe's name, Samoa Joe shows up. Joe says he is here to hear what is about to be said, then wants to know what MJF's problem with him is before calling him "kid." MJF says Joe is only here because he confused his entrance music for an ice cream truck, but Joe says the last time he had anything to do with ice cream, he was being the biggest company's star on the other guys' network. After Joe calls MJF "kid" twice, MJF jokes that this is really creative and that he can be creative himself, then calls Samoa Joe "Pillsbury Joe-boy" and "Samoa Dough" before making a reference to Jambi the Genie while saying he has a tiny penis. Joe says the only reason MJF is this stupid is because of hanging around Midwestern mouthbreathers, then asks what his problem is before calling him "kid" a third time. MJF threatens to knock Joe's teeth down his throat, then says this is how Joe wants him to react. MJF talks about how he had a try-out for WWE in Brooklyn, New York when he was 19 years old, knocked it out of the park, and was pulled aside by William Regal who told him he was too young and told him to keep in touch only to be blown off. After some "He fucked up" chants from the fans, MJF says he knocked Regal out and sent him back to NXT where he belongs, and says that if Joe plays his cards right, he is next. He then talks about how the next night, he was asked to play a security guard who led Samoa Joe to the ring at NXT and how Joe shoved him into a brick wall and laughed as he was trying to do his job. MJF says he knows why Joe did that because he is the people's scumbag and he knows how scumbags think, and he did it because he was a kid and he could get away with it. He then tells Joe that he is not a kid anymore and that he is a generational talent, and warns Joe to get out of his way before he kills him. Joe says that was a point beautifully made, but says that he did not see him as a kid when he shoved, but as "a little bitch." MJF puts the Dynamite Diamond Ring on briefly, then takes it off before slapping him. Joe says he will not take his bait, then says he will go through the Grand Slam World Title Eliminator Tournament before coming for him. He then allows MJF to leave the ring and wishes him a nice day. As MJF leaves, Joe kicks the bottom rope upwards from under him and attacks him before lifting up the AEW Championship. MJF then hits Joe with a low blow and bites his forehead before stomping a mudhole in him in the corner. MJF charges at Joe in the corner, but Joe hits him with a Uranage. As Joe goes for a Muscle Buster, Adam Cole runs into the ring and chases Joe out before checking on MJF as medical staff does the same. MJF mentions to medical staff that his left arm has gone numb as medical staff help him to the back, and Joe tells MJF says that next time he will leave his arm attached, but there will be no guarantee he will tear it apart when MJF gets in front of him again. As medical staff helps MJF up the ramp, MJF is briefly down to one knee, and as medical staff continue to help him up, Roderick Strong and The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) show up and confronts Adam Cole for not caring about Roderick as Roderick heads to the ring for the next match.

When asked about the AEW Women's World Championship Match at Grand Slam, Toni tells Renee to stop poking around and that she may give a sneak peek of what she plans to do next week. Toni leaves after telling Renee Paquette "chin up, tits out and watch for the shoe," then throws a shoe at her from out of shot.
Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring. Adam Page talks about how he has once a teacher and how teachers are underpaid and underappreciated following his Over Budget Battle Royal win. As Adam Page talks about what is next for him, Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland show up. Prince Nana tells Schiavone to leave the ring after taking the microphone from him, then demands respect for Swerve. Swerve says two weeks in a coffin gives one some clarity, and one of the first people he thought of when he got out was Adam Page. He asks if Adam Page is "some mascot for AEW" and doing charity for an educational system for kids who will not amount to anything. He says that Adam Page should be going for world championships and should not be on Zero Hour, then says he will be ashamed for him, saying that Adam Page went from being a champion to being in pre-shows. Swerve says Adam Page has had no new gear or merchandise is over a year and doesn't even have singles matches, singles promos or singles title matches on Dynamite anymore because he has gotten comfortable after hanging off The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson). He says that Adam Page has had everything handed to him on a silver platter, and says that if he had the same opportunities that Adam Page had a year ago, he would be the first Black AEW World Champion by now. Swerve then tells Adam Page to ride off into the sunset so he can turn AEW into "Swerve's House" or get his motivation and confidence again and show what "Cowboy Shit" is all about. Swerve then proposes they can fight for Adam Page's spot, but warns him that he has no sympathy for him and that if they do this, he will walk him like a dog. He then says he is coming for his spot that he does not even want, but Adam Page tells him to get a match with him if he wants it, as he is not in the mood for this. Swerve says it is a shame for Adam Page's wife and kids to see him walk away from moral responsibilities, then Adam Page gets back in the ring and confronts Swerve only to be attacked from behind by "The Machine" Brian Cage.
We see a video package for Jay Lethal vs. Penta el Zero Miedo and Jeff Hardy vs. Samoa Joe in the Grand Slam World Title Eliminator Tournament.
Darby Allin beats Nick Wayne by submission after pulling back on the arms and stomping Nick Wayne in the head. During the match, Darby Allin grabs a microphone and tells Nick Wayne "You hit like an 18-year-old; hit me like you want to win this!" Soon after this declaration that leads to Darby and Nick exchanging blows and Nick faking a wind-up punch to hit Darby with a superkick, Christian Cage and Luchasaurus show up and guest on commentary for the remainder of the match.
The show begins with an announcement from Tony Khan. Tony Khan announces that today, he had to make the toughest decision of his career and that he has terminated Phil Brooks, also known as CM Punk, for cause. He says that this stems from a backstage incident at All In last Sunday, and declares that the incident was regrettable and endangered people backstage, including production staff who had nothing to do with it. Tony Khan says he has been going to wrestling shows for over thirty years and has been producing them for nearly four years, and that he has never - until that time - felt that his security, his safety and his life was in danger at a wrestling show. He says that he does not think anybody should feel that way at work, including the people that he works with, and he has made the difficult choice today at the recommendation of a discipline committee in AEW as well as outside legal counsel who delivered a unanimous recommendation. Tony Khan announces that he has followed up on that recommendation, and apologizes to anyone who is upset by this, including the fans, and states that despite this, there will be a great night on Collision tonight and a great pay-per-view at All Out tomorrow night. He declares last weekend and the last week to be the greatest in AEW history, and that the great momentum will continue here tonight on Collision and tomorrow night at All Out.
Tony Schiavone interviews "Absolute" Ricky Starks and Big Bill in the ring. Starks says he finds himself back at square one, for every time he has climbed up the hill, he gets dragged back down, but he always gets better. He says that he always overcomes the obstacle and gets better, but he is so tired of having to start over. He says he does it because he shows up and shows out every single time, and no matter how many times people try to suck the life out of him or use him for all he is worth, it never works, because you cannot put a lid on a boiling pot, for it will overflow. Ricky Starks then thanks Big Bill for overcoming obstacles and coming back better like he has, and says he believes in Bill and that he believes in himself. Starks says he is tired and frustrating, and while there are so many things he could say, he is a man and he will do what he needs to do. He says that he watched All In from home all because he whipped Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and that he will be damned if he lets another opportunity slip through his hands and that he is challenging Steamboat to a strap match at All Out. He hopes that Steamboat will see things from his perspective one day and why he did what he did, but until then, he is not letting another moment pass him by tomorrow night and that he is calling his shot tonight and allowing Steamboat to call his. Steamboat shows up and says he has complained not once on social media about what happened between them four weeks ago, and yet he has heard about Starks' no-disqualification strap match challenge. He says that Starks has game and can perform in the ring when he really wants to, then produces a contract - with Ricky Steamboat mentioned on the contract as just "The Dragon" - for the match that both of them can sign so that "the pen can talk, but not the mouth." Starks signs the contract, then says that everyone may know him as "The Dragon," they also know another man: "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson. The crowd chants "You fucked up" at Starks as Starks says it should be Steamboat signing, then Danielson signs the contract and has a staredown with Starks. Starks says that if this is the bed that he lays, then he guesses he should make himself comfortable. Steamboat says they just wanted to make sure he got what he wanted, and that Starks has his strap match. Starks storms out of the ring and leaves with Big Bill as Danielson celebrates with Steamboat in the ring.
We hear from Jon Moxley, who says to beat the rock upon which the waves crash and even the raiging seas fall still around you. He uses this as a comparison to Orange Cassidy as AEW International Champion, calling him "the game that no one can checkmate," "the puzzle that 31 men before him have failed to solve." He says Orange Cassidy would never win matches like those in the major leagues, much less in indy feds, and asks who Orange is pretending to be. He says this has been a long time coming, for he won the first round by forfeit and that is all he is going to get. He says that when one has fought at his level, there is always another championship and another big show as one win and loses against the best, yet there is always tomorrow and always another chance, yet tomorrow is once-in-a-lifetime because Orange is on the run of his life. He says that he can tell when he has won before the bell even rings and that he can smell B.S. from a mile away and know the real thing when he sees it, and Orange looks a lot like the real thing. He says that one way or another, they are going to find out on Sunday. He says that he is a technician of the highest order and that he will not target any specific body part when he will target his soul, his heart, his guts, his conditioning, his endurance both physical and mental and his will to win, survive and even be here. Moxley says a lot of guys want to be perceived as great wrestlers but look for a way out when it gets hard, and he wants to know if Orange will look for a way out when it gets hard. He says a lot of people believe in Orange Cassidy, and at All Out, he had better not disappoint them.
The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) retain the AEW World Trios Championships against Daniel Garcia, "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard and "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, John Silver). Silver says Adam Cole used to be their friend, but they threw it away to team with MJF. Reynolds says he helped MJF to become a pro wrestler and told him that if he wanted to succeed, he would have to do whatever it took to win, and he has and he cannot be prouder of him. He then says that only one of them took that advice, but tomorrow night, all that changes, as they need the Ring of Hnor tag team titles more than MJF and Adam Cole do and that they will do whatever it takes to win because they have to.
Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews "Absolute" Ricky Starks and Big Bill. Starks says that once again, every obstacle they throw his way, he knocks out of the park, and that tomorrow will be no different when he says who he says he is.
Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) beat Komander and Nick Wayne. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Nick Wayne, who says that while he is frustrating about losing tonight, he is more frustrated about Darby Allin forgiving AR Fox. Darby shows up and says he has known Nick says he was eight years old and that they have been so much, and that he was trained by Nick's father Buddy Wayne. As for why he forgave AR Fox, he mentions what happened between him and Buddy Wayne and how he never talked to him or anyone in his family for three years and how Buddy's passing caused him to be unable to mend fences with him, leaving him to live with his decisions for the rest of his life. Darby says he wishes he could have made things right, then mentions that AR Fox was one of his trainers and that he had to let the hate go, which is why he forgave him. He asks Nick Wayne to find it in his heart to let it go, then says that at All Out, he will be fighting for the TNT Championship, and it would be an honor for Nick Wayne to be in his corner for the match. Luchasaurus and Christian Cage show up, and Christian says it was rude of him to speak so much about Nick's father when he forgot to ask what his mother's name is. He says he could not help but notice her sitting at ringside, then says he should slide into her DM's and see if he can change that. He then mentions Darby's strained relationship with the Wayne family and calls Nick "[Darby's] personal pity project" and an attempt to justify that he is a decent human being, then says Darby should take after him as he does not pretend to be something he is not. He says that the people of Chicago, Illinois can smell a loser a mile away and that Darby is a loser of life. He also tells Nick Wayne to carry a towel to the ring tomorrow, as he will need it to stop the match when it becomes a one-sided massacre at the hands of Luchasaurus.
Backstage, we hear from Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli. He congratulates Eddie Kingston on beating Wheeler Yuta after returning from Japan before uppercutting Wheeler and saying that he and Jon Moxley keep beating Wheeler Yuta every week and that Wheeler Yuta keeps getting back up and taking it without complaining. Claudio says he thought Eddie would come back a better man from Japan, then says that he did not, and he says that he thought he could not lose any more respect for Eddie until Eddie proved him wrong. We then hear from Eddie Kingston and Katsuyori Shibata, who tells Claudio and Wheeler that they will have to deal with them at All Out. He says Claudio does not want to face him again and that he can see it just by looking at him, then Shibata uses his phone to tell Claudio and Wheeler "You both suck."
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Saraya and Ruby Soho. Saraya talks about how she won in front of all of her countrymen and how she can smell everyone in America from a distance before stating she will walk out of All Out as the AEW Women's World Championship. Ruby Soho says that Kris Statlander has never been able to beat her since she arrived in All Elite Wrestling, and says that The Outcasts (Saraya, Toni Storm, Ruby Soho) are the most dominant faction in all of professional wrestling and will prove it by walking out with two titles. They then refuse to talk about Toni Storm, with Ruby saying that Toni will be fine - even though she saw her in the parking lot half-naked throwing shoes at birds - and that they will drop "the homegrowns" like they have been doing before leaving tomorrow night as TBS Champion.
Tony Schiavone interviews Dennis Rodman in the ring. Before Schiavone can find out what Rodman is doing in AEW, Jeff Jarrett, Karren Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal and Satnman Singh show up. Jeff Jarrett forces Schiavone out of the ring so that he can make a deal, then says it is great for all the legend to be out in Chicago, Illinois tonight. Jarrett says he and Rodman go way back and says everyone in the ring has something in common as far as being the best, being champions, striving for world peace and looking good in a dress are concerned, then mentions his and Rodman's pasts in the New World Order. He tells Rodman that if he wants to get some real heat and run with the bulls, all he has to do is join their family. Rodman says it is great to be in Chicago for the first time in 13 years, then Jarrett threatens to sic Satnam Singh on him as he demand an answer now. Rodman mentions that Shaq was as big as Satnam is now when they were playing basketball and that he kicked Shaq's ass, then Sonjay Dutt demands an answer. Rodman tosses Sonjay Dutt down to the mat instead, then The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) show up, and Bowens says that if Jarrett wants a fight, he and his associates can fight The Acclaimed. Daddy Ass says wrestling twice in one night is too much for his age, then says they have nothing to do tomorrow and they can have the match with the World Trios Championships on the line and Dennis Rodman in the corner then.
We see a video package for Shane Taylor vs. Samoa Joe for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship at All Out.

He says Shane Taylor hopes he will get the Television title back in front of millions, but he will wish that he will stop hitting him.

We hear from Adam Cole, who says that it is him and MJF defending the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships against Alex Reynolds and John Silver at All Out. He says Reynolds and Silver are a great tag team, but they are not him and MJF, and in MJF's absence, he reads the words that MJF has for him. MJF states that it took nine years to get rid of Reynolds' bad habits because he is the drizzling shits, and that John Silver is the size of a dollar store garden gnome and that he did not know they could stack crap that high. MJF also has other words for them, but Adam Cole decides, perhaps wisely, not to repeat them.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews MJF. MJF says that he cannot get enough of the British fans chanting his name and he wants the fans to grab a beer, get pissed and cheer for him like the fans have never cheered before and maybe everyone just might get a free pint (at Tony Khan's expense). MJF admits that he is under a lot of pressure before his World Championship match with Adam Cole, and this would not be possible without everyone who has ever paved the way for professional wrestling prior. He says that he is standing on the shoulder of giants and that if he wins, he may just become a giant himself. On the subject of his friendship with Adam Cole, he says that this is new to him and that he has never been a genuine friend before. He says that Adam has made him a better person in a short period of time and has taught him to trust and let his guard down. He says that Adam is not just a friend, but a brother, and while brothers have fights and disagreement, they hug it out at the end of the day. He also says that while he is not a perfect person, he wants people to be vulnerable with him, as they will be rewarded, saying this is one promise he can keep, as he is not just a scumbag, but "your scumbag."

Callis says he threw 34 years of friendship away over money and says that he would rather make history than watch it, then mentions Jericho nearly dying in England before stating that he will be in Ospreay's corner when Ospreay finishes the job. Ospreay asks Jericho if he is taking this match seriously or if the match is just a vanity project for him, as this match will change his life, and he says that when he beats Jericho, it will be one of his biggest victories in two months. He then mentions that his contract in New Japan comes up in six months and that he is the best wrestler in the world, even better than "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson), CM Punk and even Jericho, and even though he respects Jericho, he is rocket fuel for him and his future. Ospreay signs the contract, then Jericho congratulates Ospreay on his accomplishments before telling him that they would not be possible if it were not for him, as people predicted that Ospreay would be in a wheelchair before 30 from being so reckless and he told him to told it down. He also tells Ospreay that he did not have to attack him from behind to get this match, as their match was supposed to happen in 2020 before the lockdown, then says that All In is the biggest venue of his career and he has to be the best he has ever been to beat Ospreay. He also tells Ospreay that he has to be the Will Ospreay he can be and tells him to prove it to his family and his 80,000 countrymen that he can do it, and tells him not to make him regret keeping him out of a wheelchair as he signs. This leads to a brawl that security quickly moves into position to stop.

When Sami's music hits, Sami fails to show up. Moose says it does not matter is Sami is here or not, as he has to be in the match, and tells Maclin that Sami will call their match "hell on earth" before telling him that his military experience is nothing compared to being in the ring with him and going through hell. Maclin tells Moose he has been turned into "a coddled prizefighter" and says Moose has not seen what he has seen or done what he has done, then says he is lucky he has all four of his limbs and that men like him transcend matches like this. He says that instead of "hell on earth," it will be "mayhem for all." After Maclin signs the contract, Sami suddenly shows up and apologizes for his tardiness, as he could not find his favorite chair: a metal folding chair that is in his hands.
