Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for October 21, 2026

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next two matches.

The Don Callis Family (Mark Davis and Jake Doyle) decimate The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) in an AEW World Tag Team Championships Eliminator Match and earn a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships.



The Don Callis Family ("The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) beat Adam Copeland and Will Ospreay after "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, who initially shows up and distracts Adam Copeland, hits Copeland in the corner with the AEW International Championship after Fletcher jumps over the Spear. After the match, Okada, Fletcher and Knight attack Copeland, and Ospreay is overpowered when he goes for the save. Okada hits a busted-open Copeland with the Rainmaker, then Mark Davis, Jake Doyle and Wardlow head to the ring. All six men surround Ospreay as Don Callis enters the ring with the AEW World Championship, and Ospreay has no chance against The Don Callis Family. Callis then hands the AEW World Championship to Fletcher, and after Wardlow knocks Copeland out, Fletcher hits Ospreay with the AEW World Championship. Suddenly, Darby Allin shows up with a now-recovered Steven Borden, and both men attack with a skateboard and a bat. Nick Jackson also shows up with a wooden oar to help out, and The Don Callis Family is sent running out of the ring. Steven Borden then declares on the microphone that he is back for blood and guts.





Swerve Strickland beats Tome Filip with a House Call before the bell and a Vertebreaker after. After the match, Prince Nana helps Swerve back into his jacket, then Swerve makes a beeline straight back up the entrance ramp.

Orange Cassidy and "Switchblade" Jay White beat The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia).

We see a metronome moving.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Brody King says they would not be here tonight if it were for Bandido, then Prince Nana shows up and says Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) want the Trios Championships back. Swerve also shows up demanding a rematch, and Hangman - noting that Swerve gave them a rematch - says that fair is fair and grants it. Swerve names Full Gear as the time and place, and Hangman accepts. Swerve says that three years ago at Full Gear, he "hanged the Hangman," then says he is living in the future, not the past, and that he wants the match to be a Texas Death Match. Hangman says there is no way he will drag Brodido into that, and says that there will be a match, but it will not be a Texas Death Match. Swerve says this is non-negotiable, and Hangman says that Swerve has no leverage and that this is about something other than the Trios titles before he declines again. Swerve says "We'll see."



"The Prodigy" Nick Wayne shows up at the arena, notices Chris Jericho on the production truck, laughs, and shows off the "Nick Wayne beat Chris Jericho" shirt under his jacket before the pyro in the arena goes off. The shirt is now available at ShopAEW.

Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné in the ring. Mercedes, who is no longer wearing a protective mask, says she still has a broken nose that has failed to stop her from beating Willow Nightingale and "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, saying Thekla was barely up to her knees and not on her level. Mercedes then kicks Renee out of the ring before stating that she is the most decorated woman in all of professional wrestling and that she does not chase the spotlight because she is the spotlight. She then wants to know who is next to face her after taking out the trash in AEW, and the challenge is soon answered by "The Problem" Marina Shafir, who shows up, stares down Mercedes, and tells her not to be a pussy. Mercedes takes offense to this, then leaves the ring. Roderick Strong shows up for the next match, with Jon Moxley already in the ring having shown up with Shafir.



Jon Moxley beats Roderick Strong in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match by submission with a sleeper hold. After the match, Roderick Strong is attacked from behind by Clark Connors and David Finlay; Moxley, having just rolled out of the ring to leave through the crowd, gets back in the ring and chews them out. When Moxley turns his back, Connors and Finlay attack Moxley, and Connors wraps his belt around Moxley's neck before Finley pulls out a shillelagh. Gabe Kidd shows up, takes away the shillelagh, and nearly goes at it with Connors and Finlay. Connors then hits Gabe Kidd with a Spear out of the corner. Roderick Strong gets in the ring to make the save, but he is attacked along with Moxley. It takes Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and "Switchblade" Jay White coming to the ring to force Finlay and Connors to retreat. All of a sudden, Switchblade hits Orange with a Blade Runner, and the rest of The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) and Claudio Castagnoli show up to brawl with one another. The Dogs (Connors and Finlay) and The Bang Bang Gang gang up on Claudio Castagnoli, and when Claudio Castagnoli gets the upper hand, it takes a tire iron to the back from Connors to take him down and allow The Dogs and The Bang Bang Gang to gang up on him. Claudio then gets cracked with a shillelagh by Finlay, and Switchblade hits Moxley with the Blade Runner. The Dogs and The bang Bang Gang then do the "Guns Up" sign to cement their allegiance.



We see footage of Ilja Dragunov at WrestleDream.

Backstage, The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) and Triangle of Madness ("The Toxic Spider" Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue) attack The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor), Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron, then Triangle of Madness leaves.

"The Prodigy" Nick Wayne heads to the ring. Nick Wayne says that he beat Chris Jericho, then the pyro on the stage goes off. He then says "twice." He then says that he beat Chris Jericho again, and the pyro goes off again. He then says "twice" again, then says that Jericho needs to come to the ring and stand face-to-face with him and apologize. Jericho fails to show, then Nick Wayne says he should have known better before the pyro goes off again and Jericho arrives. Nick Wayne is surprised that Jericho is here, but he is glad, as he says that Jericho must have been dreading this moment all week while he has looked forward to it. He then demands that Jericho say he is sorry. When Jericho says that he is sorry, Nick Wayne keeps interrupting him. Jericho has to tell Nick Wayne to shut up so he can apologize, then says that Nick Wayne knew more than he thought he did and that he has learned lessons from him. Jericho says the outcome would have been different at WrestleDream, then Nick Wayne brags with the pyro again before demand that Jericho cut to the chase and say he is sorry. Jericho says "Good lord, are you ever a douchebag!" He then says he was a douchebag at Nick Wayne and would never have apologized then, then says that he knows now when he is wrong, and says sorry to Nick Wayne. Jericho says sorry for underestimating Nick Wayne and how good he was, then says that Nick Wayne learned something from him and that he reached a turning point in his career and became a superstar just like he did during his own career. He says that if Nick Wayne keeps doing what he is doing and really hears what others teach him, he will become a multiple-time world champion and one of the greats in this business. He then tells Nick Wayne "Don't fuck it up" and leaves the ring while Nick Wayne laughs.



Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Persephone guest on commentary for the next match.

Queen Aminata beats Maya World in a TBS Championship #1 contender's match. After the match, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Persephone get in the ring, but Aminata is joined by Maya World and Hyan, and Britt and Persephone think better of getting in the ring.



Backstage, we hear from The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Jet" Kevin Knight, Mark Davis, Jake Doyle, Wardlow). Don Callis brags about his family's success tonight, and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher announces that he has an official victory over Will Ospreay. Callis says that his family will bring the guts while their opposition will bring the blood that they will spill before taking all the championships and the money that comes with them, with he and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada agreeing that the only thing more important is family.

We hear from The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, Action Andretti). Samoa Joe says Clockwork Carnage may not have went his way in the end, but it made him realize that the AEW World Championship belongs to him and that nobody will stand in his way. "Jungle" Jack Perry shows up and says Joe did not kick his ass enough and that Joe still owes him a handshake. He then says that he will have to find a way to get it from him, and he wants another match. Joe says he cannot think of a better city to lick his wounds than Miami, Florida, and that he will take care of business very soon.

Ilja Dragunov beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey in his AEW debut.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for September 23, 2026

Backstage, we hear from The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Ricochet says Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) make up what is wrong with AEW, stating that they were suddenly thrown together into a trio. He says he saw the future and brotherhood in Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona and that they will become the World Trios Champions. Bishop Kaun says Swerve and The New Level are "not a real trio," and Toa Liona says they will be doing them a favor when The Demand puts them down. We then hear from Swerve Strickland, The New Level and Prince Nana. Prince Nana reminds Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona that he was the one who bring him into AEW, and says that Swerve and The New Level will take The Demand out. Creed says that they have revenge in mind tonight and will be leaving as champions tonight, then gets up to speed with what happened between Swerve and team of Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun. Kofi says that they will move on to All Out, then gets up to speed with Swerve's history with Bandido and "Hangman" Adam Page. Creed then asks if Swerve had any friends before The New Level showed up, and Swerve is awkwardly silent before his music hits.



Swerve Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and "Awesome" Austin Creed) retain the AEW World Trios Championships against The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) in a trios match. After the match, "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) show up, and Hangman congratulate Swerve and The New Level on becoming Trios Champions, saying that the titles feel important in their hands and that he is glad they are here. He then says that Swerve has no idea who he is really dealing with, then wants to know what Swerve is. Creed says he is teaming with the greatest team in professional wrestling and making sure the Trios titles are the most prestigious in professional wrestling. Creed says Swerve is a changed man, and Kofi says that Swerve has been "nothing but cool." Brody King says it has only been three weeks, and Hangman says Swerve will show his true colors given enough time. Swerve says that Hangman has been abandoned by other trios before and that he will abandon Brodido, too, as Hangman showed his true colors in Chicago and he is no better than him. Brody King says that at All Out, both teams will represent the trios division as it was meant to be, and they will see if three weeks was long enough to keep the titles. Bandido says the Trios titles are the most wanted and that they belong to Hangman and Brodido.





Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Will Ospreay and Francesco Akira. Ospreay says not many men would throw themselves into the line of fire against The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir), and while he and Speedball have history, Speedball made the save for Francesco Akira, and would like for him to join his version of United Empire. Speedball says that Ospreay is the kind of man he would stand next to, then says he will team up with him tonight, joining Ospreay's United Empire in the process. Ospreay has to stop Akira from saying something not fit for international broadcast again.

Backstage, we hear from "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, who says that inside everyone, there are two bitches: a dumb bitch who is full of love, happiness, kindness and dancing, and a true bitch who is violent. Thekla then says she will have a good time tonight, because "Thekla is for the children," then says she will be "all nice" until Saturday, when she becomes "all toxic."

Jon Moxley beats Dezmond Xavier by submission with a modified rear choke in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Darby Allin and Steven Borden, who are soon met by Adam Copeland. Copeland says that Christian Cage is sitting this one out so things do not get volatile, then says that he things greatly of both men and thinks Borden has potential. Copeland says that while Borden has the potential to be massive, he is one-half of the World Tag Team Champions that he wants to challenge and that he is reaching for legends now, and also reminds Darby that he is going to be climbing two mountains if that happens. Darby says he has a lot he wants to say to Copeland, then accepts his challenge. Copeland tells Darby to be careful what he wishes for.



The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) head to the ring. They are soon joined by FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway as well as the team of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. Stokely says they are only here so that they do not get fined by Tony Khan, then tells Copeland to "Wrap this shit up; we got things to do." Matt Jackson compares FTR to The Dudley Boyz, and Nick says they had multiple chances to be the tag team champions, then admits this may be their last chance. He says that if it is, The Young Bucks will fight like hell to be the first four-time tag team champions. Christian says that this will be their last opportunity and that he and Copeland will stay one-time tag team champions because they are generational, then says he looks forward to meeting The Young Bucks' mother like he did FTR's mothers. Copeland takes the microphone away from Christian, saying he has issues, then says that the other two teams are disregarding the legends standing before them and that they have been in so many TLC matches that they can do nothing to him and Christian. Matt says that everything Copeland said would be true if it were 1999, and the last time Copeland leapt off something high, he crippled himself for almost a year. This soon starts a brawl between all three teams when Harwood tries to lighten the mood. Security had to show up and get involved before things get worse, but they all get laid out. Christian and Copeland is the last team standing, and one security guard gets the Con-Chair-To.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Willow Nightingale. Willow says her left hand is doing better, then says that she and Mercedes Moné are 2-2 and she wants to settle the score, even if that means getting through "The Toxic Spider" Thekla. She tells Thekla that she beat her last time, but now, she has been a world champion, which makes her more dangerous this time around. Willow tells Thekla that she will see her Saturday.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Tommaso Ciampa beats Jake Doyle. After the match, Ciampa says this is as much for Don Callis as much as it is for "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Callis backs off before Ciampa tells Okada that they do not have to wait until All Out to do this. Okada shows up in a suit and tells Ciampa that while he asked for him, he has bad news for him: he will not get him tonight, then says they will both get what they want at All Out, and he will prove that Ciampa is not on his level. Ciampa says that if Okada thinks he is scared of him, he has another thing coming, as he will get a version of "The Psycho Killer" that nobody has ever seen before, and he will expose Okada and take the International title.



Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. guests on commentary for the next match.

Persephone retains the TBS Championship against Hyan after using the bottom rope for leverage as the referee makes the count from outside of the ring, being unable to see what is going on in the process.



Jon Moxley guests on commentary for the next match.

Will Ospreay and "Speedball" Mike Bailey beat The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli and Gabe Kidd). After the match, Ospreay says that he is grateful for the fans, and says that because of them, AEW is here today, and he is honored to be its World Champion. He then says that for as long as AEW has been alive, so has Jon Moxley. Ospreay thanks Moxley for his guidance, for being "the ace," and for breaking him, and for that, he is the man he is today. He says that the one thing that will stick with him out of all the things he learned for Moxley is that the AEW World Championship is what it is all about, and this time, Moxley is the challenge while he is the champion. Moxley gets in the ring and asks Ospreay if he feels like a champion standing across the ring from him. Gabe Kidd tries to attack Ospreay from behind, but Ospreay sees it coming. Kidd nearly strikes Moxley, and Ospreay takes Kidd down before saying he does.

Collision Course - Collision recap for September 19, 2026

Backstage, we hear from Jon Moxley, who says he can apologize for what he did to Francesco Akira, but that would rob Will Ospreay of his responsibility, which would be unfair to him. He says that Ospreay has chose his side of the line and that everything is Ospreay's responsibility, and that it is all about the two of them. Moxley says that his problem with the match is that he is going to win, and that everything Ospreay did will be for nothing and lead to an even longer fall. He says he does not know if Ospreay has what it takes to do it all again, since Ospreay took everything he had and everything he needed. Moxley says he has been at the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and he has climbed back up every single day and that nobody understands the cliff Ospreay will fall from at All Out, where he says that Ospreay will be introduced to the pull of gravity.



Darby Allin retains the TNT Championship against Myron Reed. After the match, Zachary Wentz checks on Myron Reed, as does Steven Borden. Darby Allin gives Myron Reed props afterwards, saying that he belongs in AEW. Darby then states that teaming with Sting was one of the greatest honors in his life, and that he and Steven Borden have the chance to become #1 contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championships that he and Sting never lost. He says that Borden may be new to this, but Borden will not run away from this, and they will both be going into the fire. Borden admits that he is new to all of this, but he will lay all that he has to offer on the line to ensure Darby is a tag team champion again. If they can do that, he can check off two boxes: being tag team champion and being a champion with Darby. He says they will take the #1 contender stop and the tag team titles.



In footage from after Dynamite, we hear from The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Jet" Kevin Knight, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada). Don Callis says that FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway were the ones with a lot to lose while he and his men are sterling, and that they will bring the tag team titles back. Kevin Knight says he likes the vision, and that while he and Kyle Fletcher have had pretty good success despite not exactly showing interest in being tag team partners, they have never held tag team gold. Fletcher agrees and says that while he and Knight had a rocky start, he is on board with this, then says that Darby Allin and Steven Borden will be a cakewalk. When Fletcher brings up Okada's loss, Okada tells Tommaso Ciampa to be careful what he wishes for, for if he wants "The Rainmaker," he will get him, but he will not get his title.

Backstage, we hear from The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin). Juice Robinson blows a whistle and says their record is nothing to be proud of and that they lost an eight-man tag team match recently, then says they are still a team. Juice then challenges The Dogs (Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, David Finlay) and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garica, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) to an eight-man tag match at Saturday Tailgate Brawl before making a bunch of American football references.

Willow Nightingale guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Toxic Spider" Thekla beats Zayda Steel.



PAC beats Adam Priest by submission with the Tombstone Piledriver followed by the Brutalizer. After the match, Andrade el Idolo shows up for the next match as PAC leaves through the crowd. After the match, Andrade is attacked by PAC and Claudio Castagnoli. Jon Moxley shows up as PAC challenges him to a one-on-one match at All Out for the National Championship, saying he beat him once and he can beat him again. When Andrade cusses PAC out, The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Daniel Garica, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) attack him. Francisco Akira suddenly shows up and is surrounded by The Death Riders, and Wheeler Yuta is out in the ring at this point. Akira holds his own, but the numbers game takes over. Suddenly, "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up with a metal folding chair before the next match, and The Death Riders clear the ring.





"Speedball" Mike Bailey beats Wheeler Yuta. After the match, Yuta attacks Speedball from behind, and Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir and The Dogs (Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, David Finlay) join in. The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) soon runs into the ring, and starts a brawl that both officials and security have to put to an end.



We hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry, who says that everything one has ever dreamed of is at the other side of the unknown with no guarantee, and that one must beat the best to be the best.

Backstage, we hear from The Opps (Hook, Action Andretti, Anthony Bowens). Hook says he thought "Jungle" Jack Perry was smart, but then he called out Samoa Joe. Andretti says Perry is writing his own fate, and Bowens says that The Opps have a different idea. Andretti takes the camera as "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata walks in front as Hook and Bowens state that Perry will have to go through Shibata first.

Mina Shirakawa and Queen Aminata beat Georgia South and Emily Jaye.

Backstage, we hear from "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, who says that he sees through Chris Jericho and that he taught Jericho a thing or two when he left him laying. He says that Jericho is the one who does not know what he doesn't know.

Jon Moxley shows up and says he does not need anything from anybody, as he was in the trenches fighting wars for the future of this sports while kids like Connors were washing backs in the dojos. Moxley says he does not do favors for or babysit anyone, and that kids today do not know what hard work can do. He says that people have paid hard-earned money to be here and deserve they all, and tells The Dogs that they can either complain or they can dogwalk The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) and show everyone who they really are.

Knight says that he proved he is willing to go all the way after what happened last week. Knight says that Darby brought this onto himself before bragging that he sent Darby to the ER three different times and that Wembley Stadium will be no different. All of a sudden, someone in a black hoodie gets in the ring, but instead of Darby, it is Steven Borden, the son of Sting. Callis calls the attack off when he recognizes Borden, and says that he just wants to talk. Callis says that everyone is stating that Borden has the potential to be as good as his father, but Callis says he could be even better, which he says will not happen if he keeps listening to Darby Allin. Callis lists off Borden's athletic records from his football career, then says that The Don Callis Family is not just a family, but a star factory, and that he can mold Borden into a champion, saying Borden scouted him, not the other way around. Callis says that Borden came to the ring to join his family, as he did not come to the ring to get his ass kicked. Borden takes the microphone and tells Callis and Knight that Darby Allin will not only be at Wembley Stadium, but that Darby will take the TNT title.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for August 12, 2026

Will Ospreay heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay talks about his debut in Arena Mexico from last year when his grandfather passed away and how he will leave every single bit of himself in the ring for the fans, then says he is here to set an example. He mentions Kenny Omega not being in the building in Mexico and watching at home, and tells him that he will pull the trigger before stating that Omega is backstage and calling Omega out. Don Callis shows up instead. Callis talks about he turned Omega into the AEW World Champion and had a reign unmatched in AEW history until Omega decided he could do it without him. He talks about how he betrayed Omega and did more to him than diverticulitis ever could and how he brought Ospreay to AEW to face Omega before stating that Ospreay owes everything to him. Callis tells Ospreay that the road to All In will not be paved with gold, but with his own blood. Rocky "Azucar" Romero, Trent Beretta, Jake Doyle and Mark Davis flood out from the crowd into the ring and gang up on Ospreay. All of a sudden, Kenny Omega shows up with a pipe and overpowers the foursome before rearing back with the pipe at Ospreay and stopping short of striking. Omega says he felt that, and says that he has a way with words when he talks from the heart. He says he feels everything Ospreay says, but Ospreay wears his heart on his sleeve. Omega tells Ospreay that he warned him about Don Callis, Jon Moxley and MJF, and that this has made him a fool and will cause him to lose everything. Omega says that this is not the man he wants to fight at Wembley Stadium, then helps him up and tells him that he cannot help him like this again, as from here on out, it is just the two of them. Ospreay says he appreciates the help, but he did not ask for it, and he will not need it. He thanks Omega and leaves.



MJF beats "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and "Speedball" Mike Bailey to enter the #2 spot in the Casino Gauntlet Match at All In by submission after tossing Speedball out of the ring following an Ultima Weapon to Nick Wayne and making Nick Wayne submit to Salt of the Earth. After the match, MJF says he told everyone what was going to happen and that "the champ always wins." He says he has never lost a day in his life, which is why he is walking into Wembley Stadium and leaving with the Casino Gauntlet Contract. When MJF says there is nothing anybody can do to stop him, Andrade el Idolo's theme hits, then MJF laughs, proving it was part of a joke. MJF says Andrade is not showing up because he beat him up last week. MJF also says that Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay are afraid of him, and that sooner or later, they will learn the hard way that he is "The One True Champion."



We see The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) at The Brawling Birds' (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) bar. They belittle The Brawling Birds and states that they have never beaten The Divine Dominion, and that they have a taste of the hell that awaits them, and that The Brawling Birds' greatest moment will be their greatest massacre. The Divine Dominion then raise a toast to The Brawling Birds before dropping it to the floor and stating they had a good run.

Backstage, Mick Foley interviews The Bang Bang Gang ("Switchblade Jay White, Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin). Jay White says the stars aligned perfectly for him at Forbidden Door, then says The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and The Death Riders' (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) days are numbered after getting the best of them. He says he and David Finlay go one-on-one more time, then hopes that Jon Moxley makes it through tonight so he can beat him to become Continental Champion.

Tony Schiavone introduces "Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) to the ring. After Brodido celebrate being champions again, Hangman asks for permission to speak Spanish before Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland suddenly show up. Prince Nana tells Tony Schiavone his breath stinks before telling him to get out of the ring, then declares that he and Swerve will be asking the questions going forward. Swerve thinks Hangman and Brodido have become friends through "trauma bonding" after having beef with all of them, mentioning his history with them all before asking Hangman what his legacy will be now. Hangman says he has been watching Swerve for the past year and states that Swerve should not be one to talk about results after his heinous actions this year that he has nothing to show for. Suddenly, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) show up, and Ricochet says they are on trios business while questioning why Prince Nana and Swerve are in the ring in the first place, given his history with Swerve. He also says that Brodido and Hangman stole the Trios titles from them, as Toa Liona's shoulders were not on the mat, and that the titles should still be theirs. Ricochet then demands that The Demand get a championship rematch. He then tells Swerve to get out of the ring as he has nine guys out here who all hate him and even more people who hate him in the back, and as Swerve leaves, he says that Brody King does all the barking while Ricochet is the bitch. Hangman says Swerve has a point, and dares The Demand to get in the ring and take the Trios titles back. Ricochet teases doing that at first, but says that The Demand and The Lethal Twist will do it on their time.

Moxley says a number of crazy things can happen in the tournament, especially when he and "Jungle" Jack Perry roll the dice in Las Vegas tonight. He wants to know if Perry is ready like he is, and says that fortune shows a habit of doing just as she pleases.

Kris Statlander beats Viva Van. After the match, Mick Foley interviews Statlander, and we find out that Noelle Foley is in the front row. Statlander learns she will be in a four-way match for the TBS Championship next week against Maya World, Hikaru Shida and Persephone. Statlander says she feels great and ready to fight, and proud that Maya World is TBS Champion. As for Persephone and Shida, she will make them bend over backwards and shove their heads up their asses for everything they have done to her. Statlander says she was made for the TBS Champonship and has even fought wars for it, then Persephone shows up for the next match along with Shida. Before they can attack Statlander, Thunder Rosa shows up, as does Maya World. Statlander and Mick Foley head to the back as Shida and Persephone are on the outside.

We hear from The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay).

Hikaru Shida and Persephone beat Hyan and Maya World.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Jet" Kevin Knight.

Moxley then tells Ospreay that he has it all figured out, and allows Ospreay to pass through while helping Garcia up. "Hangman" Adam Page then suddenly shows up, having noticed what has just happened, and says that while he will not stick his nose in his business, he does ask Ospreay to ask him if he needs anybody. Ospreay says that United Empire is not happy with him and that The Death Riders will be breathing down his neck, and that he cannot trust Kenny Omega, and while he appreciates the help, he has to do this on his own.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher says that he retained his title at Redemption without anyone's help and that his title will stay in the family. Don Callis says they may have taken some losses, but Mark Davis is angrier than he has ever been and he looks forward to what happens. "The Jet" Kevin Knight admits he lost, but he faces the best, and it will not be the last time he main events a pay-per-view. After Knight notes that he will take time to focus on the little things including the fact he is champion, he notes that Fletcher and "Speedball" Mike Bailey are tied up. After Fletcher tells Knight to focus on keeping his own title, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up and says the International Championship will stay in the family, then leaves.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Willow Nightingale in the ring. After a massive amount of streamers flood the ring and the fans chant for Willow, Willow is choked up from the support and says that she is living her dream before thanking the fans for being there even when there were a lot of doubters. She mentions winning the TBS title and becoming an inaugural Women's World Tag Team Champion earlier this year, then thanks her mother for getting her out of a funk when she got hurt, which led to her getting back and becoming Women's World Champion. Willow says "If life has been kicking you around, don't give up. Keep fighting, keep pushing through, because sometimes...sometimes, the comeback is even better than the dream." All of a sudden, Mercedes Moné shows up with a contract in her hands and says she is here for business, and tells her to sign the contract for their match at All In. Willow lays the contract on Mercedes' chest to sign it, which starts a verbal confrontation. After Renee says it is official and leaves, Willow asks Mercedes what her problem is before chalking it up to her holding the Women's World Championship. Mercedes says that one thing she hates most about Willow is not her smile or the fact that the fans love and adore him, it is that every milestone Willow has is written all over her story. She asks if Willow knows how that feels as the fans chant "shut the fuck up," before proclaiming that she will end Willow's fairy tale at All In, as she would be nothing without her and the fans only cheer for her because she stood across the ring for her. Mercedes then wants Willow to admit that she made her, then says she will take her smile along with her title. Willow and Mercedes argue, then The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) show up, making this a three-on-one brawl.

The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) beat The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) to become the AEW World Trios Champions after The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) attack The Conglomeration behind the referee's back. After the match, The Demand and The Lethal Twist attack The Conglomeration, then Brody King shows up only to be overwhelmed. All of a sudden, "Hangman" Adam Page shows up with a barbed wire chair and clears the ring. Jay Lethal tries to take the chair only to cut himself, and Jay Lethal soon gets laid out with a Buckshot Lariat.



We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Wheeler Yuta says it is them against the world every night, and now The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) wants to blame them for their failures. PAC says they will see The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) on Collision. Garcia says that PAC was right, especially about Will Ospreay, and that Ospreay has always been running away from the grind, especially when he tried to leave them. He says there is a hard way in and a harder way out. Moxley says that all of the morality police are out and that they meet people where they are at, then says the Continental Championship exemplifies what the sport is all about. He says he will walk into the unknown and into the fire with the Continental Cup, and if this is where his title reign ends, so be it.

Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega to the ring. Omega is soon interrupted by Will Ospreay, and Omega is more than happy to see him, as he showed Ospreay how he felt at Redemption by hitting him with a One Winged Angel hoping he would get it, but now he has to get to the "tell" part. Omega says he cares about Ospreay and cares the world for him and wants the world for him, and mentions the promise they made to do their best and become champions. He says he put their friendship before the title every time, as it brought him joy to see him succeed. He then says that Ospreay repaid him by telling him that he gave up on himself, and says Ospreay has no idea how deep that cut before calling the AEW World Championship a declaration that he never gave up. Omega says that Ospreay was, is and never will be one to talk down to him, and while he tried to warn him about The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir), Ospreay thought he knew better and head to learn the hard lesson himself, and asks Ospreay how it feels now. Ospreay says he came back too early from his neck injury, because all he thought about was revenge, and when he finally had it, it slipped through his fingers, and he lost his confidence. He apologizes for letting the crowd down, and that he had no friends to turn to, including Omega. He says that the guy who took away his old life and the guy he had so much hatred for gave him a new life and an opportunity, and saw Jon Moxley as the guy who would take him where he always wanted to be. Ospreay admits he liked being a Death Rider, as it made him feel like his old self again and he felt like he had killers with him. He says that while he understands The Death Riders' protectiveness, he does not share their philosophy or Jon Moxley's tactics, and when they tried to do to Omega what they did to him, he could not let that happen to Omega. Omega says he did not forget, and that when he felt the chair around his neck and felt that he would have to accept his fate, he heard the crowd and felt the energy, and knew that Ospreay would save him. He says that when he finally saw Ospreay, he saw him with the AEW World Championship and the bag at his feet, and concluded that Ospreay wanted to suffocate him with the bag before accusing Ospreay of setting a trap.

Collision Course - Collision recap for July 11, 2026

Tony Schiavone introduces a returning "Hangman" Adam Page to the ring to start tonight's show. Hangman says that he is a gardener and lives on "an acre-and-a-half in Greensboro" now, and mentions the flowers as well as the creatures in his garden as well as how therapeutic it is to plant a seed and tend to plants. He says he has been gone for four months, and when he was not in rehab, he was planting, and when All Elite Wrestling decided to come to Roanoke, Virginia, it was important to be here, as he wanted to plant one more seed. Hangman admits he does not know what this will bloom into or if it will grow at all, then mentions losing any chance at challenging for the AEW World Championship when he lost to MJF. He thinks about what could have gone wrong before admitting that he lost, and says that he is a man of his word as the stipulation lives in him and not in ink in a document in a file cabinet somewhere, and says he will never challenge for the AEW World Championship again. Hangman then talks about Kenny Omega winning the title, saying it was important to him as well as his message to never quite and always run the race afterwards. Hangman says there are miles and miles of track in front of him, and mentions the TNT Championship, the National Championship, the Continental Championship, and the International Championship. Hangman then asks who he is without the World Championship after seven years of chasing it, and while he does not know, everyone is going to find out. He then says that tonight, he can hear his words, truer now than ever before, and that he is going to have to find something else to do...and he will.
