Collision Course - Collision recap for May 8, 2025
"Timeless" Toni Storm appears in one of the box seats to start tonight's show. Toni says so many have taken a shot at her in the box seat that she feels like Abraham Lincoln, then says she will never forget her first time, as it was messy, sweaty, and painful, but she only wanted more. She says she was hooked, then it only became more risky, first one at a time, then two, then three, incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts. She says that one day, it will only break her body and soil her soul, but she knows it is what she was born to do, but instead of sexual intercourse, she is referring to wrestling, as "the best bang" is nothing compared to fighting for the AEW World Women's Championship. She says she is not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO, then tells the challengers to line up because "baby wants to binge." She then says "So spit on it and sit on it, and let's get timeless!"
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Paragon (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly). Roddy says that he and O'Reilly are one of the best tag teams on the planet, but it has been more difficult to come back. O'Reilly says they are not taking anything away from themselves, and says they could have won their recent match any other time. Adam Cole says last week was a tought loss, but he is glad they have not forgotten they are the best and that they have plenty of chance. Suddenly, Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) show up to mock them and tell them that they have gotten soft and have forgotten what it is like to fight for their spot, which they are ready to remind them of. O'Reilly and Roddy take this as a challenge and accept that challenge.
Zach Gowen is seen in the crowd.
Ricochet beats Angelico. After the match, Ricochet dares everyone to boo him and says his boos mean nothing, because they cheer for the Detroit Lions and are "dumb as hell" for it. He says that if the fans were smart, they would be cheering for him. He says he has been in AEW for less than a year and has beaten most of everyone's favorites, then notices Zach Gowen before making fun of him in front of his sons and asks Gowen if he "does not have a leg in the fight anymore." Three security guards approaches Ricochet as he shoves Gowen repeatedly, then hits all the security guards with the microphone and throws two of them around before throwing the third in the ring and cutting his hair witthe golden scissors. Gowens jumps the barricade, gets in ther ing and takes the scissors away, but Ricochet kicks in the right knee and knocks him down before hitting him with the Spirit Gun, pulling off his prosthetic leg and walking off with it.

We see a video package for Samoa Joe vs. Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship this Wednesday.
We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that he could talk about what he could do to Samoa Joe, yet Samoa Joe is going to kick his ass. He asks how long Samoa Joe could beat him down, and says that while Joe does not think much of him, he has genuine respect for Joe, as he has the genuine embodiment of a champion. He says that no matter happens to him in the steel cage, he has been through worse, and he does not need to be feared or respected by Joe or anyone; he just needs Joe to show up. Moxley says he does not get along with the rest of the world because he is not like the rest of the world, and next week, there is nowhere else he would rather be than locked in a steel cage with the AEW World Championship in the balance against Samoa Joe. Moxley states that he did not build his foundation on sand, and that all that matters is the last man standing.
Anthony Bowens beats Lee Johnson despite the distraction by Blake Christian. After the match, Billy Gunn confronts Blake Christian only for Billy Gunn to toss him out of the ring. Bowens then says that he is in a really good mood, then he and Billy Gunn do the old Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Bowens, Billy Gunn) scissor.
Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) head to the ring. Kaun calls out The Learning Tree ("The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith), saying that they will not walk through the gates unscathed and that paradise has to earned, and that the gates will stop them in their tracks.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for March 12, 2025
Kenny Omega heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Omega says that before this year, he was more than happy to say that he was clear and able to wrestle again, but now he is not only back in AEW, but with everyone's support, but he is International Champion. He says that he has a slew of people to thank, but he thanks "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita in particular for pushing him harder at Revolution than he could have ever pushed himself and dragging him back where he needed to be back on top and be champion. He also states that Takeshita has made the International Championship "a truly international title," and when Tony Khan came up with the idea of an International Championship Eliminator Tournament, he liked the idea, as he wants the champion to be the best on the planet. He also states that Takeshita has made the International Championship "truly international," and when Tony Khan came up with the idea of an International Championship Eliminator Tournament, he liked the idea, as he wants the champion to be the best on the planet. As Kenny Omega leaves and signs some autographs, he is met by The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katusyori Shibata) as they head to the ring.
The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katusyori Shibata) beat Vinny Pacifico, Eli Theseus and Gabriel Aeros in a trios match.
Backstage, we hear from Ricochet, who says that his quest for championship gold is not over despite what happened at Revolution, and that he did not want Prince Nana's robe anyway. He wants the International Championship and has entered the tournament for it, and that he is giving "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata the opportunity to forfeit due to what he knows about him and what he is capable of, or else it will not end well for him.
In backstage footage from Revolution, Swerve Strickland announces that he wants to challenge for the AEW World Championship at Dynasty, where he made history last year by winning the World Championship. Adam Copeland shows up and says that he has not lost yet, and that he plans to face Swerve one way or another at Dynasty this year.
Backstage, we hear from Jon Moxley. He brags about retaining the AEW World Championship while being the guy who should not have been in the position he should not have been in at Revolution. He says that he hurt Adam Copeland, but Copeland did not care and kept coming forward. He says that whatever Copeland is made of, it is rare, and is Copeland will take the rules, he will take the excuses. Moxley admits he underestimated the depth of Copeland's grit and resolve, and that he will not make the same mistake twice.
Hologram and Powerhouse Hobbs (accompanied by "Harleygram" aka Harley Cameron) beat "The Machine" Brian Cage and Dralistico (accompanied by The Beast Mortos). Hologram's win streak is increased to 19-0. After the match, Mark Davis and Lance Archer show up and have a war of words with Powerhouse Hobbs.
In backstage footage from Revolution, Alicia Atout interviews The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin). Shelton looks forward to their next opponents, and MVP says nobody works harder than them and that he loves their dynamic. He also says nobody should play harder than them and that somebody must be the baddest, and it is them. He then wants Lashley and Shelton to enjoy some time off while he takes care of television, and Shelton says they will enjoy their time off but will still go to the gym. MVP says that more than anything else, the Syndicate still wants to hurt people.
We see a video package for "The Hollywood Ending" from Revolution.
"Timeless" Toni Storm shows up and stands on the stage. Toni says that with stitches in her lip, staples in her head and glass in her ass, she stands before the fans to state that "this tramp is still the champ." She says that Revolution was her Hollywood ending, and a chunk of her heart will be gone forever, but when she looks at the Women's World Championship, it was well worth it. Toni then declares it is time for a new beginning and that it is her honor to be AEW Women's World Champion. She says AEW has the most talented women's locker room in all of wrestling, and while there are all sorts of other champions in AEW, she is like a zoo, as she bleeds like a pig, licks like a giraffe and eats her opponent like a lion. Toni says the fans will never hear her meow because she is no pussy, and that nobody swings like her and to put their keys in the bowl and "get this orgy started." She says it will be messy and sweaty, but it will always be timeless. All of a sudden, Toni is attacked from out of nowhere by Megan Bayne.
The Beast Mortos' wildcard opponent in the International Championship Eliminator Tournament is revealed to be "Speedball" Mike Bailey.
"Speedball" Mike Bailey beats The Beast Mortos in his AEW debut to advance in the International Championship Eliminator Tournament.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne, Kip Sabian). Christian Cage says he refuses to listen to anyone related to Jon Moxley and states this could be the most boring interview in history, then tells Renee to get out of his sight, which he does. Christian says he is still the next AEW World Champion and demands his contract be returned to him due to the referee's incompetence, and says he did not tap out or pass out, as he was relegating his champion. "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne stops Christian, saying he is lying to himself and to everyone else, and says that if he stuck to the original plan, he would be World Champion. He says Christian owes both an explanation and an apology. Christian shoves Nick Wayne, and Mother Wayne confronts Christian only for him to send her straight back to working at Waffle House. Christian asks Nick who he thinks he is to question him, as he and his real father have never won any world championships, and that he should be thankful that he found him as he would not die in front of his mother like a cowrd and that he will be World Champion. He tells Nick to shut up and keep riding his coattails, because if they have this conversation again, it will be the last time. Kip Sabian shakes his head and walks away, but Mother Wayne consoles Nick.
In backstage footage from Revolution, Lexy Nair walks in on MJF punching a mirror before yelling at Lexy Nair to get out.
MJF heads to the ring. He admits that he has a splitting headache and that his hand and body hurts, but what hurts the most is that everyone knows he had his match at Revolution won. He says "Hangman" Adam Page hit him with a cheap shot like he did in 2019 to get the win, then says the fans can chant for Hangman all they want because he is not upset anymore and he is ten times smarter than Hangman and his fans ever will be. MJF says he thinks ten step ahead of anyone else and that he will get his, and declares it is not over between him and Hangman by along shot before MVP shows up. Both men hug in the middle of the ring, and MVP says he is here to talk to MJF, saying he is proud of him and that he is not the rookie that he met eight years ago who volunteered to drive him around for a documentary in exchange for being under his learning tree. He says that the questions MJF asked impressed him and told him he would be a force to be reckoned with, and that he had such an aura and an intuition that cannot be taught that he had to teach him things. MVP also mentions that MJF stated he would be a World Heavyweight Champion and that he did what he set out to do, which he is proud of. He then says that he is not proud of what happened at Revolution. He wants to know why MJF is telling everyone about what happened to him at Revolution and wants to know why he is not destroying things and hurting people over his loss, then chalks it up to MJF losing his edge. MVP says the boys in the back not only no longer respect him, but they no longer fear him. He then says that they respect and fear The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin), and that this is what MJF is missing. He tells MJF that he helped him out once and could help him again, and his business card has went from becoming an introduction to becoming a golden ticket that can change careers. He then offers his business card and says they should talk business, but MJF turns it down, saying he does not need his help or advice, as he was AEW World Champion for 406 consecutive days. MVP tells him to focus on the word "was" and hands him his business card, then leaves.
"Platinum" Max Caster is in the ring. He thanks the fans for having the most popular shirt in AEW, which proves that he was always the top star in The Acclaimed (Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn). He also says he has the most popular chant in AEW, yet everyone boos him when he gets it started. He then says the fans are stupid and that whoever answers his open challenge is stupid as well. The open challenge is answered by "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Before the match can start, Max Caster says there is no way Takeshita is here to fight him, and is really here to invite him into The Don Callis Family, which he says could do wonders for him. He also says this could let him beat Kenny Omega, and Takeshita levels Caster with a forearm, pulls him up before getting a three count and hits him with Raging Fire for the win.
We hear from "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, who still possesses Gravity's mask. He says that gravity has been introduced into the situation between himself and Bandido ever since he embarrassed him and his brother in front of his family. He asks how Bandido will come back from that before stating that Bandido either brought this on himself or was unlucky enough to get in his way, then says Bandido's life has changed forever and not in a good way.
Willow Nightingale beats Penelope Ford. After the match, Penelope hits Willow with a metal folding chair, then Kris Statlander suddenly shows up and sends Penelope packing before helping Willow up. Willow pushes Statlander away, but they soon get dropped by Megan Bayne.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné. Billie Starkz also shows up, making this a no-physicality interview. Starkz says Mercedes has accomplished a lot, but so has she, and says that they are not that different. Starkz says that money may change everything, but she is looking to change into a champion. Mercedes says Starkz is out of her league despite being a student of the game, and says she will learn there is a price to pay for messing with Moné.
Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay in the ring. Ospreay says he may be banged up, but he made it out of Revolution alive, and admits that keeping up with "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher was difficult, yet he was able to pull through, and feels Fletcher may be a world champion one day. He then says he is in trouble with his wife for lying to her, as she told him not to do something stupid off the top of the cage and he promised not to do so only to do it anyway and get fifteen missed calls from her. When he finally called her, she was supportive but still chewed him out for being at the top of the cage, and he managed to charm his way out of it by promising his wife a nice dinner. As for what is next for him, Ospreay says that he wants to be champion, and as Adam Copeland and Swerve Strickland have their world title matches, he must call his shot where it matters most: All In Texas. Ospreay says he must enter the main event of All In Texas by entering and winning the men's Owen Hart Tournament, and that it will be a pleasure to either face Copeland for the first time or have his rematch with Swerve. He then warns the king that an assassin is coming for the throne, and that he must be the world champion.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Switchblade" Jay White. He says it is great to hear from Will Ospreay again and hopes to face him in the ring again before congratulating him for winning at Revolution and calling his shot at All In Texas. He says that he did not hit Adam Copeland with the briefcase on purpose, but next week, Copeland gets redemption against Moxley. As far as who the #1 contender is goes, he will not let anyone taking his rightful place as that.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page when MJF walks into his path. Renee runs away, and Hangman says that MJF really does care about what the people think of him. MJF says he will call Hangman's bluff, says his win was a fluke victory, and that he will go on to become a legend while Hangman will make it close to the top only to tumble all the way down again. MJF then notes that Hangman believes that he does not deserve the fans' love, and says that the fans will get tired of waiting for him to win "the big one," because he never will, and that he will win the World Championship over and over and laugh at Hangman as he goes up the mountain. Hangman says they will see about that, then MJF walks away.
Orange Cassidy beats Hechicero to advance in the International Championship Eliminator Tournament with the Mouse Trap. After the match, "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up and makes it clear that he wants Orange Cassidy to end the show.

He wants to know why MJF is telling everyone about what happened to him at Revolution and wants to know why he is not destroying things and hurting people over his loss, then chalks it up to MJF losing his edge. MVP says the boys in the back not only no longer respect him, but they no longer fear him. He then says that they respect and fear The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin), and that this is what MJF is missing. He tells MJF that he helped him out once and could help him again, and his business card has went from becoming an introduction to becoming a golden ticket that can change careers. He then offers his business card and says they should talk business, but MJF turns it down, saying he does not need his help or advice, as he was AEW World Champion for 406 consecutive days. MVP tells him to focus on the word "was" and hands him his business card, then leaves.
"Platinum" Max Caster is in the ring. He thanks the fans for having the most popular shirt in AEW, which proves that he was always the top star in The Acclaimed (Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn). He also says he has the most popular chant in AEW, yet everyone boos him when he gets it started. He then says the fans are stupid and that whoever answers his open challenge is stupid as well. The open challenge is answered by "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Before the match can start, Max Caster says there is no way Takeshita is here to fight him, and is really here to invite him into The Don Callis Family, which he says could do wonders for him. He also says this could let him beat Kenny Omega, and Takeshita levels Caster with a forearm, pulls him up before getting a three count and hits him with Raging Fire for the win.
We hear from "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, who still possesses Gravity's mask. He says that gravity has been introduced into the situation between himself and Bandido ever since he embarrassed him and his brother in front of his family. He asks how Bandido will come back from that before stating that Bandido either brought this on himself or was unlucky enough to get in his way, then says Bandido's life has changed forever and not in a good way.

Mercedes says Starkz is out of her league despite being a student of the game, and says she will learn there is a price to pay for messing with Moné.
Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay in the ring. Ospreay says he may be banged up, but he made it out of Revolution alive, and admits that keeping up with "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher was difficult, yet he was able to pull through, and feels Fletcher may be a world champion one day. He then says he is in trouble with his wife for lying to her, as she told him not to do something stupid off the top of the cage and he promised not to do so only to do it anyway and get fifteen missed calls from her. When he finally called her, she was supportive but still chewed him out for being at the top of the cage, and he managed to charm his way out of it by promising his wife a nice dinner. As for what is next for him, Ospreay says that he wants to be champion, and as Adam Copeland and Swerve Strickland have their world title matches, he must call his shot where it matters most: All In Texas. Ospreay says he must enter the main event of All In Texas by entering and winning the men's Owen Hart Tournament, and that it will be a pleasure to either face Copeland for the first time or have his rematch with Swerve. He then warns the king that an assassin is coming for the throne, and that he must be the world champion.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Switchblade" Jay White. He says it is great to hear from Will Ospreay again and hopes to face him in the ring again before congratulating him for winning at Revolution and calling his shot at All In Texas. He says that he did not hit Adam Copeland with the briefcase on purpose, but next week, Copeland gets redemption against Moxley. As far as who the #1 contender is goes, he will not let anyone taking his rightful place as that.
Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page when MJF walks into his path. Renee runs away, and Hangman says that MJF really does care about what the people think of him. MJF says he will call Hangman's bluff, says his win was a fluke victory, and that he will go on to become a legend while Hangman will make it close to the top only to tumble all the way down again. MJF then notes that Hangman believes that he does not deserve the fans' love, and says that the fans will get tired of waiting for him to win "the big one," because he never will, and that he will win the World Championship over and over and laugh at Hangman as he goes up the mountain. Hangman says they will see about that, then MJF walks away.
Orange Cassidy beats Hechicero to advance in the International Championship Eliminator Tournament with the Mouse Trap. After the match, "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up and makes it clear that he wants Orange Cassidy to end the show.

Jeff Hardy then declares that he will leave AEW at an extreme high than a depressing low.

Battle of the Belts VI - The Results
Orange Cassidy retains the AEW International Championship against Dralistico. After the match, The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews, Julia Hart) appears on the video screen, and Malakai Black considers Orange Cassidy to be quite talented and that he is glad to see him win, as The House of Black are not done with him yet. Buddy Matthews then says that with The House of Black having been gracious enough to put their AEW Trios titles on the line, Orange should put his title on the line as well.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Mark Briscoe, who says that he will not look back and that he is moving forward as there is still a lot of fight left in him. As he says that The Lucha Brothers(Penta el Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix) will get it done in the ring, Jay Lethal shows up and says they have known each other for twenty years and that Mark has not let anyone down. He then asks why they are not working together, as it seems like a logical thing. Both men shake hands, then Jeff Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt and Satnam Singh show up and congratulate Jay Lethal while saying that there is strength in numbers.
Jade Cargill retains the TBS Championship against Billie Starks and goes 55-0. After the match, Taya Valkryie shows up. Jade tries to hit her with the TBS Championship, but Taya ducks the belt shot and goes for Road To Valhalla back in the ring only for Jade to escape the move and retreat.
Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Brandon Cutler and MT Nakazawa. Cutler says they are the only two people in The Elite left and that The Blackpool Combat Club are a bunch of bullies. He says they have been used to bullies, then says that when those who stand up for bullies aren't there, you stand up and become Elite. Nakazawa simply says "No more."
Mark Henry interviews The Lucha Brothers (Penta el Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix), QT Marshall, Powerhouse Hobbs, Aaron Solo and Harley Cameron. Marshall says this match makes all the sense of the world and that he and Hobbs will win the Ring of Honor World Tag Team titles. Hobbs says The Lucha Brothers could not beat them individually and that they do not stand a chance as a team. Rey Fenix says tonight will be their first defense as ROH tag team champions, and that they will get revenge. Penta says that QTV will be cancelled tonight.
The Lucha Brothers (Penta el Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix) retain the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships against QT Marshall and Powerhouse Hobbs after an interference attempts from Aaron Solo leads to Harley Cameron kicking Alex Abrahantes in the groin when he confronts Solo, who soon sprays something in Fenix's eyes. This does not give Marshall and Hobbs the titles, however, and The Lucha Brothers are able to keep fighting and retain the titles.
