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.

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.

Stokely lists the acts that FTR have performed in the last few weeks and calls Nigel McGuinness a "pill popper" who hopes that he will wake up in 2002 "when he was last revelant." He also brags about FTR causing Daniel Garcia and Adam Copeland to disappear from AEW in recent weeks, stating that Garcia will soon have an OnlyFans link and that Copeland's brain is "sizzling like a Fajita at Chipotle."

Hangman and the referee both check on Ospreay and help him up, then Ospreay and Hangman fistbump. Ospreay leaves the ring, then Hangman takes the microphone. Hangman says that if Ospreay will have his back, then he will have Ospreay's, and as much as he appreciates it, he is his own man and he does not need help to win the World Championship, not from Ospreay and not from Swerve Strickland. He says he does not need help from the man who would threaten the safety of his family for his own glory, and last week, he made a promise; tonight, he will make another. Hangman says he will never need or accept from Swerve Strickland. However, he will ride into Texas, defeat Jon Moxley, take the briefcase, take the AEW World Championship and hold it above his head, for it is a night for everyone and it will be his night. All of a sudden, Jon Moxley is in the ring, and both men have a staredown. Marina Shafir and Wheeler Yuta soon show up and surround the ring, as does Claudio Castagnoli.

He then announces that FTR has issued a challenge to any tag team from Mexico on a future Dynamite or Collision. After Stokely quotes the chorus to Nelly's "E.I.," Atlantis Jr. and Templario show up.

Dax says that they have no issues with them and that he wants to know them better before the joint AEW/CMLL show at Arena Mexico, then asks them questions but does not allow them to answer. FTR says that Tony Khan has big plans for them and that Templario and Atlantis Jr. will not be able to face them, even though Dax is a big fan of Atlantis. He then sends a message to Atlantis through Atlantis Jr. to stay at home and not to mess with FTR.

Collision Course - Collision recap for May 22, 2025

Adam Cole guests on commentary for tonight's show.

Tony Schiavone brings out FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway, followed by Daniel Garcia, "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard and Nigel McGuinness, to start tonight's show for a contract signing. Cash Wheeler gives Daniel Garcia one last chance to reconsider as FTR sees him as a son, but says that Garcia is willing to throw everything away for "a bunch of nobodies." He then tells Nigel McGuinness that it will pay for him to shut up and listen rather than be paid to talk like he usually does, and tells him that there will be no commentary table to hide behind or a magic trick to save him as he is a shell of a former man against the greatest tag team in the world. FTR and Stokely sign the contract, then Daniel Garcia says that he has and still does care about FTR, but he has to see FTR for what they are now: two selfish, narcissistic sociopaths. He says that FTR turned his back on him as well as anybody that has ever cared about them, and now that they have crossed too many lines, he is standing up for himself and others who has had enough of them. He admits that FTR is greatest tag team that wrestling has ever seen, but this Sunday will be a fight, not a wrestling match, and he is going to fight. He says that Nigel may have a little bit of doubt, but he sees that look in his eyes and knows that he still has it. Garcia says that if he does not get the Nigel that he sees, then he should not sign the contract. Nigel says it will remain to be seen if he still has, but before he signs, he wants FTR's word that they will not touch, talk to or even look at him or Schiavone ever again or else it will be "Top Guys out for good." Dax takes the microphone and says this is not 2025, not 2009, and that Nigel has a family to think about and that the wrestling business has beaten him up over the years, and if Nigel wants FTR to finish the job, then he can sign the contract knowing that it will be his blood on his own hands and that FTR will hold no responsibilty for whatever happens; otherwise, he can leave the ring and head back to the commentary table where he belongs before touching him. Nigel warns Dax not to touch him, but Dax says this is just business and that they will be businessmen on Sunday before putting his hand on him again. Nigel attacks Dax, starting a brawl, and it ends with Menard keeping Stokely away as security has to break up two submission holds from Garcia and Nigel. Nigel says that if FTR wants to look into his eyes, then he will look into their souls, and signs the contract before stating that this ends on Sunday.

We hear from "Timeless" Toni Storm, who says that some women have died young only to be buried much later, yet Mina Shirakawa has made her feel very much alive. She has admired, appreciated and envied Mina, but now she is here to stay. She always had a premonition that their journey would end in tragedy, and that there is no one more talented than Mina to take her title. She wants Mina to bring her best, and years from know, she will say that they lived.

He says he will not be a problem that will be distracted or will go away, and that he is coming for the AEW World Championship, and there is nothing The Death Riders can do about it.
