Collision Course - Collision recap for June 26, 2025

Tony Schiavone moderates a face-to-face meeting between The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) and the team of FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway to start tonight's show. Stokely says that FTR should be challenging for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but first, they must clear the air about what happened on Collision. He says that he is "flabbergasted" towards The Outrunners' behavior, as both teams used to be friends until The Outrunners "made them out to be enemies." Cash agrees with Stokely, saying he and Dax are both flabbergasted and cannot figure what they did to deserve this after everything they did for The Outrunners, saying they have a problem with FTR when they did nothing wrong. He says everyone has a problem with FTR when they started looking out for themselves, and asks The Outrunners to think about what they are throwing away before they make any rash decisions. Cash then shows a video package of the times both teams shared together as the "FTRunners," then Dax says that he considered The Outrunners family until jealously reared its ugly head and The Outrunners realized that both teams had completely different ceilings. Dax says The Outrunners were once a popular act and big merchandise sellers, but when they got their one shot at immortality by becoming AEW World Tag Team Champions, they embarrassed themselves like they always do and proved that they were a joke, causing the fans to laugh at them. Dax says the fans do not care and have never cared about The Outrunners, who he says sided with the fans and will have to learn the hard way that the fans will turn on them like they turned on FTR. He says that while their gimmick will make them money, it will not make them "FTR money," as they will never be "FTR good." As FTR leaves, Magnum takes the microphone and admits that The Outrunners may not be everybody's cup of tea and may have come up short against The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin), FTR is dead wrong about the fans not beliving in them. Turbo says they made a mistake in believing FTR would be mentors and friends who would take them to the top, yet when something even slightly better came along, FTR dropped them. He says The Outrunners were put on this earth to wrestle and entertain, and now they are on this earth to whup FTR's ass. FTR and Stokely head back to the ring, but Stokely stops FTR and says they would fight them, but FTR does not fight for free, especially not in Washington. He then says that if they want a fight, they can have one next week in Ontario, California.

The Patriarchy (Christian Cage and "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne) beat The Learning Tree ("The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bounty Hunter" Nick Wayne) follow ing Mother Wayne distracting the referee.

Backstage, we hear from "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, who proclaims that he will relieve Adam Cole of the burden of being a fighting champion for far too long. He says that he and Adam Cole are no strangers to each other, and that Cole issued an open challenge and that he is here to answer. He knows that Adam Cole has a bad ankle, and states that Cole will not only walk out as TNT Champion, but he will not walk out at all.

Backstage, we see The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne, Kip Sabian). Christian tells Nick Wayne that he is proud of him and that if he listens to him, good things will happen. MVP shows up and congratulates The Patriarchy on their win before taking their tag team title aspirations seriously, and reminds Christian that his partner is still a kid and warns them not to take on The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin). Christian asks MVP if he is trying to convince himself or convince him, as he lives by the rule "Never trust a criminal," and says that while MVP is a bad criminal because he got caught, he is a better criminal than he is a manager. Christian then says that he is "The Patriarch" and that he runs AEW, and if he wants the tag team titles, they are as good as theirs. MVP wishes Christian good luck, and tells him that he will need it.

Brody King and Templario beat Rocky Romero and Hechicero.

We see a video package for Mercedes Moné, who then smashes a film projector with a baseball bat and tells "Timeless" Toni Storm that she enjoys playing games with her because they are easy to win, then says that she can right through her and that she is "an act" and "a mark." Mercedes says that she is a real star and is about to hold seven titles before declaring that Toni is not just "some motherfucker," but "the motherfucker who is about to be so fucked over" at All In Texas, as this is her movie, her story and her legacy. She then says that if Toni wants a death sentence, then this will be the beautiful murder that she wrote. Mercedes then brags about walking Toni like a dog before walking all over her face until All In, and hopes that Toni will be able to stomach the beating that she is about to give her when she gives one to Mina Shirakawa next week with the TBS Championship on the line. She says that while Toni and mina are playing checkers, she is playing chess.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "Timeless" Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa. Toni tells Mercedes Moné that if these are the kinds of games that she wants to play, then she was born on a roulette table. She says she will play snooker with her snatch and tic-tac-toe with her tits, and next week, Mina will play games with Mercedes. Mina tells Toni not to get involved no matter what happens when she faces Mercedes for the TBS Championship. Toni tells Mina to keep Mercedes alive, because she wants to finish the job.

Megan Bayne beats Vertvixen.

Backstage, we hear from Anthony Bowens. He announces that next week, he will be entering the Casino Gauntlet qualifying match next week on Dynamite 300. He also says that he has asked Billy Gunn to stay home and rethink their strategy before he wins and enters the Casino Gauntlet at #2 after their strategy comes into play.

Adam Cole retains the TNT Championship against "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander.

Backstage, Ricochet is confronted by AR Fox for walking out on him when AR Fox is attacked from behind by Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona). Ricochet says to Gates of Agony "Let's talk," then laughs at AR Fox.

We see a vignette for Alex Windsor. She says she is in AEW to prove she is the best, win championship gold and make sure everyone knows her name.

Queen Aminata beats Skye Blue. After the match, Julia Hart confronts Aminata when "The Toxic Spider" Thekla shows up. Skye Blue attacks Aminata from behind, and Julia and Thekla join in. All of a sudden, Anna Jay and Tay Melo show up with weapons and make the save for Aminata. Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford show up and stand at the stage.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Daniel Garcia and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard when Rocky Romero shows up. Romero says The Don Callis Family has no problem with Daniel Garcia and that the family wants him to join, but brings up Garcia's relationship with Adam Cole and questions Adam Cole's motives before saying that Garcia does not know what a true friend looks like. Daddy Magic takes offense to this, and Romero tells Garcai that if he wants real friends and family, he knows where to find The Don Callis Family.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher beats Kyle O'Reilly soon after the interference of Lance Archer (amidst many Kyle-centric chants by the fans). After the match, Fletcher and Archer attack O'Reilly until Adam Cole and Roderick strong run into the ring.

Here are the highlights for tonight's show!

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for February 5, 2025

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Switchblade" Jay White, who says that there is no history between himself and Adam Copeland but plenty of history with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). He says he must rely upon FTR and those he would not usually rely on to take on The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir), as they always seem to have the numbers game. The Death Riders show up, but behind them are Rated FTR (Copeland, Harwood, Wheeler). This leads to a backstage brawl. The brawl soon makes it way to the stage and the crowd before making it to the ring. The Death Riders get the upper hand before Copeland hits Claudio with a Spear, causing The Death Riders to flee through the crowd. Copeland demands an answer from Moxley regarding his challenge for the AEW World Championship at Revolution, and Moxley grabs a microphone and says no, saying Copeland gets and deserves nothing. Switchblade then challenges Moxley and Claudio to a two-on-two Brisbane Brawl at Grand Slam Australia, threatening to make Moxley choke in a pool of his own blood in the process.

Before the next match, Don Callis is showered with "Fuck Don Callis" chants before announcing that Ospreay's opponent tonight is someone Ospreay has traveled up and down the road with and has called "brother:" Mark Davis, who Callis calls "The Ospreay Killer." Ospreay is shocked, then furious.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Will Ospreay beats Mark Davis after the ref stops Davis from using a turnbuckle that Davis himself exposed, allowing Ospreay to hit the Hidden Blade for the win.

After the match, Ospreay says that since Don Callis wants to crash parties and be a bit of a party pooper, he has a tag team partner for Grand Slam Australia: Kenny Omega. Callis flees as Omega shows up. Omega thanks the Atlanta, Georgia crowd for the warm reception, then addresses Mark Davis, who is sitting near the ramp, saying he has no idea what Callis has on him and that while it may seem hopeless, help is there, and there are people he can trust. Callis is then seen at the stage as Omega announces his return to AEW at Grand Slam Australia, then admits hearing the fans gave him the itch and made him want to come out here as "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher show up. Omega dares them to get in the ring if they want to fight right now, or else they should prepare themselves for Grand Slam Australia. He says it has been a long time since people could really feel what he was feeling in the last few years, and now that he is back, everyone will feel what he is feeling, and that Grand Slam Australia will be the match to prove that the future lies in the company and in the ring.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading to Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet later tonight.

The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) head to the ring. Rapper Westside Gunn is seen in the front row. MVP gives props to Private Party, saying that they were two young people with a bright future who were the wrong people at the wrong time, then puts the rest of the locker room on notice, saying they will hurt people and take their titles. He says that until then, they are open for business, and as he welcomes any team to face them for the tag team titles, The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) suddenly show up. Austin Gunn says they are here to talk business, and MVP allows them to do so in the ring as they are conducting themselves as men, which they do. Austin says they have been waiting for two years for their rematch and that The Hurt Syndicate may have won the title, but they are back. Colten congratulates The Hurt Syndicate on doing their job, then says their job is to take the tag titles back. MVP says he respects The Gunns' moxy as well as their father, then says he is about business as he shakes their hands, and announces that next week, Lashley and Shelton will defend against "a couple of Ass Boys." As The Hurt Syndicate leaves, Austin Gunn takes offense to that statement while accepting the challenge.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Harley Cameron and the Mercedes Moné puppet. The puppet announces that Harley Cameron will be in concert next week, then Harley entertains the idea before the real Mercedes interrupts. Renee asks Mercedes about an opponent for Grand Slam Australia, and Mercedes says she remembers her first victory before calling Harley "nothing but a loser" and telling her to go away. Harley almost flips Mercedes off, but Renee makes her put the middle finger away.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page, who says that his coming after Swerve Strickland was "a moment of weakness" and a "mistake." He also says that "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels overstepped and overplayed his hand, and that he did exactly what he told him he would do and that Daniels will never be able to wrestle again. Max Caster shows up and tells Hangman to wrap the interview up, then asks what it would be like if he put Anthony Bowens or Billy Gunn in the hospital. Hangman says he would love to put someone in the hospital tonight, then implies that he will do it to Caster. Caster laves, but Hangman follows him.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

The Don Callis Family ("The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher) beat Hounds of Hell (Brody King and Buddy Matthews) with a double-team sheer drop brainbuster to Brody King. During the match, Buddy Matthews is briefly distracted by "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada's entrance theme.

Backstage, Hook and Samoa Joe confront "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian in Christian Cage's locker room. Christian Cage almost enters the room with Mother Wayne, but thinks better of it as Wayne and Sabian get beaten up. When Hook and Joe leave, Christian and Mother Wayne get in the room and shove the cameraman away.

MJF heads to the ring. He says all "geriatric" Jeff Jarrett had to do was stay out of his way, but he could not do that, and he had to teach him a lesson: the E in AEW stands for "Elite," not "Elderly." He says that now that "that carny schmuck" is out of the way, he is one step closer to regaining the AEW World Championship, as nobody is on the level of The Devil. Suddenly, Max Caster gets in the ring and says "Hangman." "Hangman" Adam Page suddenly shows up and confronts MJF briefly before going after Max Caster in the crowd. MJF says that nobody is on the level of The Devil again before being interrupted a second time, this time by "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes. Rhodes says MJF does nothing but degrade and badmouth people, especially people who are dead like Owen Hart, and tells MJF to keep Owen's name out of his mouth. He also tells him to stop mentioning people's wives and past issues, and tells him that he is not The Devil and that he stayed sober for 16 years and has stared The Devil in the eye. He says he is able to hang with the locker room because he has survived everything MJF can even think of. Dustin says that when he is gone, the mold will be broken forever, as he is better MJF and that MJF's "punk bitch ass" knows it. MJF brings up Dustin's drug problems again, and says that Dustin took 37 years of blood, sweat and tears to get out from underneath his father's shadow. MJF then says that after all that hard work and sacrifice, Dustin then lives in "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes' shadow. Dustin punches MJF, starting a brawl that security quickly has to stop. MJF is kept out of the ring, but that does not last, and MJF runs back into the ring to kick Dustin in the groin. When Christopher Daniels confronts MJF on his way out, MJF says "Hangman sure did a number on you, didn't he?"

Before the next match, "Timeless" Toni Storm is revealed to be playing the role of "The Glamour" Mariah May, much to the chagrin of the real Mariah May, who guests on commentary for the next match.

"Timeless" Toni Storm beats Queen Aminata with May Day. After the match, Renee Paquette interviews Toni Storm, who mocks "The Glamour" Mariah May before the real Mariah May confronts her. Mariah May then gets off the ring apron and leaves in a huff with the AEW Women's World Championship.

Backstage, we hear from "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes, saying people have been chipping away at him trying to put him in the ground, but he is still here and he lives for blood, sweat and tears. He then says that next week, he will beat MJF's ass.

We see a video package chronicling the recent events between "The Redwood" Big Bill and Powerhouse Hobbs.

We hear from The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) for a live edition of New York Minute. Chris Jericho says he has no idea how Bandido considers himself a wanted man when nobody wants him in AEW, then says that he will turn this into a teachable moment and says that next week, he will double the $100,000 bounty on Bandido's head if Bryan Keith can take Bandido out like Big Bill did Powerhouse Hobbs. Powerhouse Hobbs soon shows up and brawls with Big Bill, and The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) show up to even the numbers game. Security soon shows up to stop the brawl, and Big Bill and Hobbs both grab a security guard and choke slam them. Both Big Bill and Hobbs then get in the ring and fight, and both men soon tumble over the announce table before taking out a cameraman.

Backstage, security ejects The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) from the building.

Ricochet beats Swerve Strickland after inadvertently hitting Swerve low as Swerve goes for the Swerve Stomp. After the match, Ricochet takes Swerve's entrance robe away from Prince Nana and walks off with it.
