She says she and Thekla have beaten each other once, but once is not enough, and at Revolution, they will have two out of three falls and Thekla's killing is coming twice.

We hear from "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who asks when the challenger dictates what the match is and that she is not doing the two out of three falls match, but quickly reconsiders after asking what makes Kris Statlander think she can beat her twice, and says that Statlander wears sunglasses and all leather because she cannot look her in the eye anymore and wants to be like her. Thekla then says Thunder Rosa should have listened to her, and now she has sent her back to Tijuna, then tells Statlander to take her own advice and quit while she is alive, for everything Statlander is afraid of is everything she is.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight). Knight calls Wednesday one of the hardest nights of his career because he came close to becoming AEW World Champion. He knows that more opportunities will come to him, but he also feels like he let Jet Set Rodeo (Speedball, Knight, "Hangman" Adam Page) down when he cost them the World Trios Championships. Speedball says they all lost, and while Hangman's situation with MJF made things more difficult, everything is good now, for at Revolution, they will team with Mistico and take back the World Trios Championships from The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Mark Davis). Speedball says that he has what it takes to hold two championships and beat Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Championship.

He says that this was the Ciampa that he remembered and expected. He blames himself for not trusting his instincts and letting his guard down, then calls Ciampa a coward for jumping him and aligning himself with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler).

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for March 6, 2025

In backstage footage from after Dynamite, Renee Paquette interviews The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). Jericho says it is not easy to be in All Elite Wrestling, but he handpicked both Bryan keith and Big Bill for a reason. He says Keith has yet to win in a match that matters despite his accomplishments, and while he knows the potential and personality to be a champion, Big Bill has lot big matches as of late. He says opportunites do not come around often and that this could be the last chance for them to show that they are main event players, and tells them to take advantage of those opportunities before they dry up and go away. He tells then to live up to the potential that he saw in both of them, or else he will not know what to do with them. Jericho leaves, and Big Bill and Bryan Keith refuse to comment afterwards.

Athena retains the ROH Women's World Championship against La Catalina. After the match, Athena hits La Catalina with a cheap shot.

We hear from MxM Collection (Mason Madden and Mansoor), who have fun with their stolen ROH World Tag Team Championship belt. They say they are still tag team champion despite losing in Grand Slam Australia, and state that Australia is not a real country.

Karter quickly changes his tune, but Maria says they are great.

Taya Valkyrie beats Vertvixen.

Backstage, we hear from Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor and "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty). Shane Taylor says that Final Battle did not exactly go to plan for them, and Lee Moriarty says that while he has come up short and may have hit a plateau, he is not stopping here because he is motivated and he is not stopping until he reaches the top. Shane Taylor says that everyone is on notice and that one's hands cannot hit what one's eyes cannot se and that everyone is getting put down.

With Maria out of the way, Rachael and Leyla pledge to do their best.

Gravity, Dalton Castle and The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) beat The Spanish Announce Project (Angelico and Serpentico), Griff Garrison and Cole Karter in an eight-man tag match.

Here is the recap for tonight's show!

Collision Course - Collision recap for November 25, 2023

Claudio Castagnoli beats Daniel Garcia in the Blue League of the Continental Classic and earns three points. Wheeler Yuta comes out and celebrates with Claudio after the match.

We hear from Eddie Kingston, who says that all he ever wanted to do is wrestled in Japan, and now that he has done that and won a championship, he has put that championship along with the Ring of Honor World Championship to ensure the Continental Classic is the most prestigious tournament in America. He says that Brody King is not a small man, and that he must get ready to fight him.

Luchasaurus - now officially known as Killswitch - beats The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) in a two-on-one handicap match. After the match, Killswitch pulls two chairs out from underneath the ring, unfolds one and chokeslams one of The Boys onto it before grabbing the other Boy. Suddenly, Adam Copeland shows up from behind Killswitch and hits him repeatedly with a chair, then pulls the bottom bar from the chair and puts him in a crossface with it. Copeland then goes for and hits the Con-Chair-To on Killswitch. Somehow, Killswitch tries to pull himself up afterwards, and Copeland responds with a curb stomp onto a chair before hitting another Con-Chair-To.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Adam Copeland. Copeland shows up and tells Lexy Nair to leave, then looks straight at the camera and addresses Christian Cage, saying that everything that has happened to Killswitch and "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne is all on Christian and his insecurities, as Christian thought that everyone would compare him to Copeland as soon as Copeland arrived and would become second fiddle again. Copeland says he could care less about that and that their friendship is more important than anything else, and yet Christian could not get past his own ego. He says that Christian was about to Con-Chair-To Sting the night he showed up, and last Wednesday, Christian almost hit a Con-Chair-To on Shayna Wayne. He also mentions Christian mentioning Beth Phoenix as well as his two children and reminds Christian that he has a short fuse, and that he would not let Christian light it until Christian made it clear that he would break his neck. Copeland then says that Christian is not only threatening him and his furutre, but also his children's futures, and now he is hunting Christian. Copeland says he already has two heads on his wall, and he tells Christian to ask Nick Wayne and Killswitch what happens when he snaps, for he will change his soul and kick his face in, and when Christian closes his eyes, he will picture him and the pain he will bring into his world. He then says he will take the TNT Championship, which is secondary to him, because it is the most important thing in his world, and on Dynamite on December 6th in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he will go places that Christian will never go because he does not have the dog in him while he takes Christian's title.

The House of Black (Malakai Black and Buddy Matthews) beat Komander and Gravity after Buddy Matthews curb stomps Komander as Komander is being taunted by Malakai Black.

Backstage, we hear from Action Andretti and Darius Martin. Andretti says he and Darius have teamed up for eight months and that they have created a bond together, and next week, Dynamite will be in Darius' hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Darius admits they have been creating some chemistry, but something seems off, and he knos what that might be. Dante Martin shows up and fist bumps both Andretti and Darius, then says it is time to take flight, because he is back.

Julia Hart retains the AEW TBS Championship against Lady Frost. Under House Rules, there are no countouts in this match.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Don Callis and Powerhouse Hobbs. Callis says he cannot understand how Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega have a shot at the tag team titles when he broke both of them and sent them to the hospital. He says that he does not need two men to beat them and that Hobbs alone can do it. Hobbs says he is big, Black and jacked, and anyone can get it.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch). After the match, The House of Black (Malakai Black and Buddy Matthews) show up and tells FTR that nobody is coming to save them - not even CM Punk - and that AEW is not the brotherhood that FTR thinks it is. The lights then go out, and when they come back on, The House of Black are nowhere to be seen.

Action Andretti and Dante Martin's promo announcing Darius Martin's return from Rampage is replayed due to TNT going to commercial earlier than expected.

Tony Schiavone interviews "Absolute" Ricky Starks and Big Bill in the ring. Starks says he expected more of a fight from Chris Jericho, and he knows that the "clout vampire" that is Chris Jericho will try to come back around and bite his neck, but it will not happen. Big Bill says "The Golden Jets" are more like "The Golden Girls" when it comes to Jericho and Kenny Omega, and Starks says that while he and Big Bill barely know each other, he knows that Jericho and Omega are not built like Big Bill. Big Bill goes on to say that four years ago, while he was going in and out of emergency rooms due to seizures from alcohol withdrawal, when he could not get out of bed while in the lowest point of his life, and when everyone counted him out and stopped believing in him, he always knew he would make it back to the top, and standing with Starks with the AEW World Tag Team Championship, he made it back to the top. He says that he and Starks know all about Jericho and Omega and know that they are two of the best to ever do this, but he does not think they realize who they are dealing with, as he and Starks are angry, motivated and ready to embarrass them. After comparing himself and Starks to legendary NBA basketball duos, he does not see any of the legendary Chicago Bulls players in Jericho or Omega; instead, he just sees "the dudes that hand Michael Jordan his Bazooka Joe bubble gum before starting line-ups are introduced." Starks says one tells everyone they are the best while the other is, and when all is said and done, he likes his gum minty fresh while Big Bill loves Big Red.

We see a video package for the participants in the Gold League of the Continental Classic, who are all in action next week on Dynamite.

Keith Lee beats "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Keith Lee. Lee says he planned to talk about how good and talented Lee Moriarty is, and while he is good, he is no Keith Lee. He then says he is tired of the misrepresentation, mistreatment and lack of opportunity given to him, and that he will take it, and by "it," he means "him." He says that he knows who it is and that he knows what he wants.

Brody King beats Eddie Kingston in the Blue League of the Continental Classic and scores three points.

In backstage footage from last week, Sonjay Dutt talks about how he first met Jay Lethal and Eddie Kingston around the same time over twenty years ago and knew that they were diametrically opposite people and that Jay Lethal is a pure wrestler who could go into the ring with anyone and excelt while calling Eddie Kingston "a garbage wrestler" who tries to bring honor to something that has no honor. Stokely Hathaway shows up and congratulates Sonjay Dutt for what he and his company did on Saturday, and when Sonjay reminds Stokely that Jay Lethal has earned a Ring of Honor World title shot from winning that night, Stokely tells Sonjay his secretary will e-mail him, to which Sonjay replies that he never gave Stokely his e-mail.

Leyla then says she has a match with Athena thanks to the Board of Directors next week and that it will be for the ROH Women's World Championship.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "All Ego" Ethan Page. Ethan says he feels a little more rejuvenated after his last win, and if he wins tonight, that will be three wins in a row. As he says that he has big plans in ROH, Rohit Raju shows up and says you cannot spell "Rohit" with "ROH" and that he has decided to make himself at home after not getting a call in some time. Ethan admits that Rohit Taju has pissed him off and that he will ensure Rohit does not get a lot of screen time when he beats him as quickly as possible.

Mercedes Martinez beats Allysin Kay.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Billie Starkz. Billie says she is happy to get the win on her own, but Lexy tells her that Athena helped her at the very end. Athena shows up and takes offense to Billie taking offense to her post-match attacks, saying they are to deter others from stepping up to them in the future. She then says that Billie is young and stupid and that everyone will step on her before deciding that she needs a front row seat to a first-hand example, and announces that she will put the ROH Women's World Championship on the line against "Legit" Leyla Hirsch and set an example for the family. Billie is unhappy.

We hear from Roderick Strong, who talks about his relationship with Adam Cole before saying that his caring for MJF as much as he has cared for him tears him apart.

We hear from Miro's wife, who says that she was the first casualty on the righteous road and that when Miro won the TNT Championship, he lost himself. She says she wanted to prove she had his back, but Miro was stubborn and has truly forsaken everything. She says that if Miro will go down this path, she will go down hers. She says she sat on the sidelines for two years tearing herself down, breaking herself apart and asking if she had what it took, and every fiber of her being was screaming not to leave until she found out. She says she was the coldest manager in all of wrestling and that she wants to do it again.

Before the next match, Darby Allin is attacked by Luchasaurus, and Christian Cage tels Darby Allin that he will never be a champion again for as long as he in AEW.

He says the next chapter of his book is still unwritten, and that everyone will fall to The Book of Hobbs.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "Limitless" Keith Lee. Keith Lee says there are certain individuals avoiding him, and now that he is here, he is "The Collision," and he advises everyone to run.

Tony Schiavone interviews "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson in the ring. When asked what is next for him, Danielson says he told his daughter that once she turned seven, she would start finishing up his career, and right now, she is six. He says that he keeps his promises, especially to the people he loves, and time is running out. Danielson then says he will not go gently into that good night, and anyone who thinks he will does not know who he is, for he is Odysseus heading home from the Trojan War ready to fight the Cyclops. He says that if this is his last year, this will be the most epic year of his career. He says that if this is his last year, this will be the most epic year of his career. He says he is calling his shots, and his next shot is against Zack Sabre Jr. at WrestleDream. Suddenly, "Absolute" Ricky Starks and Big Bill show up, and Starks says it is fitting that Danielson is on the show while is in catering, then says he had to whip Ricky Steamboat to get attention and that he has everyone on notice. He says that he has cemented himself as "the face of Collision" and the one who will do things that Danielson has never done in his career, and after he was beaten, he realized he graduated from "being hungry" to "being greedy." He says he will take and take and take because it is in his nature and it is what he does, then Danielson says he wishes Starks was a little more patient, because he was not done yet. Danielson says he saw what was in Starks' heart on that night and that he approves of that, and says that if anyone wants to be in The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson), they have to bleed with them. Danielson is suddenly attacked by Big Bill, and Starks has to tear Big Bill off of him before Starks gets a piece of Danielson himself.

She says she has been in the business for fifteen years and has been through a lot, but the business continues to ask for more. She says that she has built a kingdom in Ring of Honor, and now, she is scouting for an army to protect that kingdom and her legacy. "Legit" Leyla Hirsch shows up and says she has done her a favor and that since then, she has breezed through the women's division.

Backstage, we hear from Claudio Castagnoli. He says that he hears the whispers and sees the writing. He says that he does care and that he is here, and even if he is not on the show, it does not mean he is not watching, scouting, training and taking things seriously. Claudio says that when he won the ROH World Championship, it was his first world championship, and it was an achievement after over twenty years of wrestling. He says he wanted to be the best wrestler possible, but then he lost the title to Chris Jericho, who did not even care about Ring of Honor. When he beat him to become World Champion, he was not as naive as he was before and he came in knowing that he had a simple job, and just because it was simple did not mean it was easy, as he had to let go of what he loved. He tells the viewers to imagine letting what they love go in order to take the next step, and says that he had to realize that as much love and passion as he had for wrestling, it was a burden, for it was his job to be ROH World Champion and keep people like Eddie Kingston and CM Punk away from his title. He says not many people can do what he does at the level that he does it, and he says not to brag or to get a pat on his shoulder, but because he knows what he is capable of and what he is asked of, which he admits frightens him, for he knows what he has to do to stay ROH World Champion. Claudio warns anyone who steps into the ring that he only respects competition and that at the end of the day, he has no personal attachment to his job and he is really good at it. He then warns anyone who wants to take the title from him that they will have to be better than him to do it.

Athena then says "Come on, minion, let's go," much to the confusion of Billie, who ends up leaving with Athena.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese and Ari Daivari. Nese says everyone cares about making wrestling better, yet he cares about making the fans better, and every time he tries to do group training, he is interrupted. He says that ROH officials ensure that he has the floor every time, and that "Smart" Mark Sterling has ensured that he finally has the floor in a place where people are not that healthy. He then says that tonight, there will be a full-length group training session, because the fans here really need it.

"Big Shotty" Lee Johnson, Action Andretti and Darius Martin beat Lee Moriarty and The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry) in a six-man tag match.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Athena, who brings out Billie Starkz. Athena says today is a very special occasion, as she is with her "bestie" and Billie Starkz gets her very own "minion number" of "400,237 and 3/4" for her "service" to her.

Dalton Castle beats "Pretty" Peter Avalon.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Shane Taylor. Shane says that for six years, he was the man in Ring of Honor and the most dominant Television and Six-Man Tag Team Champion of all time and part of the most dominant group of all time, but no matter what he did to establish his legacy, people only wanted to talk about the old guard and there was nothing he could do, as he could not fight them at the time. Now that he is fighting Samoa Joe for the World Television Championship, the fans are hyped up and even the pros are talking about it. He tells Samoa Joe not to worry, as he is not going to pin or submit him, but he is going to beat him down and put him to sleep before he takes the World Television Championship and get back to building his legacy.

Before the next match, "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese says he usually opens up with a joke, but after seeing the health of the local fans, he finds nothing funny about it, and says everyone would rather eat their cook-out or drink their "terrible" Cheerwine than put a veggie burger in their mouths. Nese then says he has gotten "Smart" Mark Sterling to take care of a few things and that he has ROH's assurance that he will have an uninterrupted group training session, starting with some stretching. All of a sudden, Jerry Lynn tells Tony Nese that he cannot just start cancelling matches for group training and that even Tony Khan is tired of it, then introduces an opponent who is "a blast from [Tony's] past" in the form of Metalik.

While he does not know if he will be wrestling at All In in Wembley Stadium in London, he does know that "Absolute" Ricky Starks has beaten him twice. He admits that he has been disappointed by how Ricky Starks has beaten him out of late and has confused his kindness for weakness even after having to cheat to beat him twice, then says that he has been left holding the bag. He then says that the truth does not care if one is right or wrong and that he is the champion as he pulls an AEW World Championship belt out of his bag and states that he has never been beaten for the belt that still has his blood on it from last September. Punk then spray paints a big black X on the center plate of the championship belt, stating the X has defined him and the foundation he has built his career on since 1997, then says he is straight edge and "better than you." He says that the belt is staying with him and on Collision, then states that he is "the real World's Champion." Ricky Starks then shows up, demands an entrance, then comes out to his entrance theme and says that while this was a great story Punk told, he is low on gold right now and that Punk would have beaten him the same way he beat him. He then says that he wants Punk's World Championship after having beaten him twice and becoming the face of Collision, for whatever Punk has is his. Punk asks Ricky if he is the face of Collision or the face of cheating, but Ricky says Stevie Wonder could be the referee and he would still beat him. Punk then says it sounds like Ricky Starks wants a title shot, which leads to "Take his title!" and "CM Punk!" chants, then says that if he were to wrestle Ricky again, he will need some extra eyes around here. Ricky says it does not care who Punk brings, because if he beat Punk once, he can do it twice. Punk says he anticipated this and made some phone calls, and that there will be a special guest referee who is someone from his past.

Tony Schiavone interviews Jack Perry in the ring. Jack Perry says he beat Hook, and that after one book, Hook realized he could hang with the big boys and took a train to nowhere. He says that when he announced that he would win a championship, he was not talking about the FTW Championship, which was "created in a second-class company" created by "scumbags" like the fans. He says that the title was never recognized, but when he got his hands on it, it became the real deal because he is the real deal and he is "that damn good."

Wheeler says he hates to do this, but MJF and Adam Cole have to learn not to mess with them. Dax Harwood says he could yell and scream about MJF all day, but he will not, and says MJF makes a mockery out of the business and their titles.
