Collision Course - Collision recap for September 6, 2025

Jon Moxley beats Daniel Garcia after reversing a roll-up attempt with one of his own. After the match, "Daddy Magic' Matt Menard tries to console Garcia, but Garcia gently pushes him away. Tony Schiavone interviews Garcia, saying it has been "incredible performance after incredible performance" for the last five years with nothing to show for it even as he gets back up after he falls. He says it has been a good five years, but sometimes good is not good enough. He then heads to the back.



Backstage, we hear from Big Bill and "The Bounty Hunter" Bryan Keith. Big Bill says they are in the same building where he hit rock bottom only to be laughed at and ridiculed when the fans showed their true colors. He runs down the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and says that ever since that night, he has gotten in the best shape of his life and became a tag team champion, then says New York City has real tough guys like him. He says that another tough guy hails from New York City, but he has not heard from him in a long time. Big Bill then calls out Eddie Kingston.



FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat Adam Priest and "The Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington. After the match, Dax puts a crossface on Priest, and Billington makes the save. Stokely Hathaway then calls out Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, saying that FTR have taken all their feelings on their opponents. He states that at All Out, everyone will see the end of Copeland and Christian.



We hear from The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd). No sooner have they gotten back to basics with Brother Nature do they realize they are not alone in the woods. They soon see Dalton Castle's boys, then they see Dalton Castle and become a trio.

We hear from Jon Moxley in the parking lot. Moxley tells Garcia that he got what he wanted and gave him everything that he had, then wonders what he has that everyone else wants. He asks what else Darby Allin can take away from him, and says that belts are just basic units of measurements for small thinking and that one should think bigger. He says that when all is said and done, the results will think for themselves. Moxley says it breaks his heart that Darby Allin came back to look for a fight, and that nothing would making him happier than to see Darby standing next to him. He says that Darby will not go away and that he will have to do it himself and make room for the people he wants to be around, which is people who want to be masters of the craft. Moxley states that at All Out, he will put Darby Allin in the ground.



Kris Statlander, Harley Cameron, Mina Shirakawa and "Timeless" Toni Storm beat Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue, "The Toxic Spider" Thekla) and Megan Bayne in an All-Star 8-Woman Tag Match in which everyone is banned from ringside. After the match, Julia Hart and Skye Blue attack Statlander, and they and Thekla outpower the other team. Jamie Hayter shows up to make the save as Thekla is about to hit the Spear on Toni Afterwards, Jamie Hayter tries to help Toni up, but Toni is shocked due to the history between them. Statlander stands between them, and this leads to Toni challenging Hayter, Statlander and Thekla to a AEW Women's World Championship Fatal 4-Way Match at All Out.



We hear from "Inevitable" Ace Austin, who says it is not a matter of if, but when, he will achieve his goals, and that at AEW, he has everything to prove and everything to gain. He says he is one of the most creative, innovative and dynamic wrestlers today, and that he is not slowing down.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Austin Gunn and Juice Robinson. Austin Gunn admits that the Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) are down, and Juice Robinson says the cardboard standees have to go and that they need to play the hand they have been dealt and figure out what is next.

We hear from Mercedes Moné, who is irate at Riho's return. She says that Riho will never take her title, and that she has gone as far as to call out and team up with her teacher Emi Sakura and challenge Riho and Alex Windsor to a tag team match.

Tony Schiavone introduces "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Don Callis to the ring. Callis says he is so proud of Fletcher, as he has been everything he wanted Kenny Omega to be and more, and in thirty seconds, he put Kenny Omega out for good and "pulled the punk card" on "Hangman" Adam Page. He also praises Alexander for having the other team where he wanted them in their recent eight-man tag match. Alexander says it felt good and that it seems Hangman has it all, but he has something: the great and incomparable Don Callis. Alexander says that Hangman got the victory in their last meeting, but he is a different man than he was then and that he is running through Hangman both for himself and The Don Callis Family. Fletcher says this past Wednesday was merely step one in bringing the AEW World Championship back into the hands of The Don Callis Family, and that step two is Alexander taking on Hangman. As for what happens next, Mark Briscoe thinks he is in line for the TNT Championship, but he will be TNT Champion for a very long time. He also says Briscoe has to get past "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, which he says will not happen. Fletcher then says that he will step up to the likes of Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland, and if Alexander leaves the scraps of his opponents, then it is only a matter of time before he becomes a double champion. He tells Hangman that he wants a shot at the AEW World Championship and that he wants it at All Out, and this time, it will only take him two more weeks to be "the guy" in AEW. Fletcher says that he knows Hangman will accept his challenge or else he will put him on the shelf like he did Kenny Omega, and that he will pry the World Championship from his cold dead hands.



We find out that the evil Hologram is coming soon.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Conglomeration (Kyle O'Reilly, Hologram, Tomohiro Ishii) and Roderick Strong. As Kyle O'Reilly marvels at the advancements in cloning luchadors, Roderick says he should be the one facing Kyle Fletcher and Josh Alexander, but O'Reilly says they are a team and that Ishii will be heading back to Japan soon. Roddy says he would be happier if Ishii never came back and leaves, and O'Reilly calls for a break within The Conglomeration.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Anthony Bowens. As Anthony Bowens talks what is he is currently up to, Jerry Lynn shows up. He admits that Bowens is talented, but he has gone from "the top of the top" to "the bottom of the top" and that he needs to figure out what is missing.

Takeshita shoves MJF, and Callis has to stand between them, saying that he and MJF have a deal. Briscoe and MJF then brawl, and security and officials have to get involved. MJF tells Mark Briscoe to name the time, the place, the match and the stipulation, saying it will not matter because Briscoe's ass is his. He then throws the microphone into the ring. Briscoe challenges MJF to a match at All Out, and states that while he does not have a stipulation yet due to the screwed up thoughts in his head, MJF has signed his own death warrant.

Suddenly, Cage of Agony ("The Machine" Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) shows up so Bishop Kaun can call Austin Gunn "Ass Boy," "runner-up in the Top Prospect Tournament," "nepo baby," and "former AEW Trios Champion." Colten Gunn says that is tough talk from a team they beat for the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Team Championships. Brian Cage says Colten might be a body guy, but he is nothing compared to him. Colten tells him "Shake Weights don't count." Cage says The Bang Bang Gang beat them because they had six members and that the three of them could not beat Cage of Agony.

He says it is time for Tomohito Ishii to go back to Japan, and while he has wanted to wrestle Ishii again, now is not the time.

Willow says she was trying to get to AEW and that she was happy for Statlander, and says that Statlander was the last person she expected to stab her in the back. Statlander mentions that Willow failed to give her a title rematch when she held the TBS title despite knowing how much it meant to her, and says it was always about Willow. Willow accuses Stokely Hathaway of getting in Statlander's ear, but Statlander says Stokely has nothing to do with this and that it is between just them. Willow admits she feels blindsided and wishes she had known, but nothing matters now and that what really matters is that she makes Statlander pay.

She says that gets off on fights and does not run away from them, and that she has not shaken hands with anyone in the locker room because she knows the best way to know a woman is to make her scream.

Solo asks Cody if he done playing around and ready to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against him, as he could have been champion and would have beaten Cody had it not been for Roman Reigns. Solo demands a championship rematch, and Cody agrees that there should be a championship match, but instead of Solo, it will be against Jacob Fatu, who Cody asks to step up. Solo looks at Jacob as Jacob stands on the ring apron, and Jacob acknowledges Solo as his Tribal Chief before stepping off the ring apron. Cody admits that he will one day be looking up at the lights after losing the championship, but it will not be next week.

Knight brags about having two successful title defenses and crossing borders while doing it, then says that he will not let anyone beat him for the United States Championship before Carmelo Hayes shows up. Carmelo says that if anyone should be bragging, it should be him, as he has been putting SmackDown on his back and stealing the show while LA Knight keeps running his mouth. He also brags that he is two matches up on Andrade and is next in line for the United States title, then Knight says he has as many title defenses in one month as Logan Paul had in ten. As they both argue, Andrade shows up. Andrade says Carmelo may have beaten him twice, but he has also beaten Carmelo twice, but Carmelo says nobody remembers that. Andrade says everybody remembers, then asks Carmelo if he thinks he deserves a United States title shot when he is the one to deserve it. LA Knight says he is a busy man, and proposes that the two of them fight over who is the next man he drops on their head. Andrade says he was once United States Champion and will be again in Spanish, but LA Knight takes offense to that.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for September 6, 2023

Orange Cassidy heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Orange Cassidy says hello back to the fans and thanks them back, and even though he was told to stay home, he was not going to do that, because championship or no championship, he will be here every single week. As Orange Cassidy leaves, Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli make their way to the ring. Orange looks back at Moxley before making his way up the ramp, then looks at AR Fox and Darby Allin before leaving with Darby.

We hear from Roderick Strong and The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett).

Strong says he grew up alone, and that he will win the Grand Slam Tournament alone.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Le Sex Gods (Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara) beat Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis). After the match, Sammy Guevara is not in a good mood, and shoves Jericho only for Jericho to shove back. Members of security show up to keep them apart, and Sammy leaves the ring.



We hear from "Absolute" Ricky Starks, who says that he wants a full course meal and not a piece of bread, and that he is everything that he says that he is and that he is absolute.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and Konosuke Takeshita. Callis boasts about Takeshita beating Kenny Omega twice in a week and that there will be a celebration next week, with their next target being the subject of the covered portrait next to Renee.

MJF heads to the ring. MJF talks about how he lived in Indiana while making his name in the independent circuit, then asks the state of Indiana "Who's your daddy?" This leads to some MJF chants. He then goes on to talk about his title defense at All Out before announcing that he is wrestling at Grand Slam in two weeks and that he is coming back to New York City and that his next challenger will find out they are not on "the level of The Devil." MJF then states that a certain person needs to be taught a lesson, but before he can even utter Samoa Joe's name, Samoa Joe shows up. Joe says he is here to hear what is about to be said, then wants to know what MJF's problem with him is before calling him "kid." MJF says Joe is only here because he confused his entrance music for an ice cream truck, but Joe says the last time he had anything to do with ice cream, he was being the biggest company's star on the other guys' network. After Joe calls MJF "kid" twice, MJF jokes that this is really creative and that he can be creative himself, then calls Samoa Joe "Pillsbury Joe-boy" and "Samoa Dough" before making a reference to Jambi the Genie while saying he has a tiny penis. Joe says the only reason MJF is this stupid is because of hanging around Midwestern mouthbreathers, then asks what his problem is before calling him "kid" a third time. MJF threatens to knock Joe's teeth down his throat, then says this is how Joe wants him to react. MJF talks about how he had a try-out for WWE in Brooklyn, New York when he was 19 years old, knocked it out of the park, and was pulled aside by William Regal who told him he was too young and told him to keep in touch only to be blown off. After some "He fucked up" chants from the fans, MJF says he knocked Regal out and sent him back to NXT where he belongs, and says that if Joe plays his cards right, he is next. He then talks about how the next night, he was asked to play a security guard who led Samoa Joe to the ring at NXT and how Joe shoved him into a brick wall and laughed as he was trying to do his job. MJF says he knows why Joe did that because he is the people's scumbag and he knows how scumbags think, and he did it because he was a kid and he could get away with it. He then tells Joe that he is not a kid anymore and that he is a generational talent, and warns Joe to get out of his way before he kills him. Joe says that was a point beautifully made, but says that he did not see him as a kid when he shoved, but as "a little bitch."

He asks if Adam Page is "some mascot for AEW" and doing charity for an educational system for kids who will not amount to anything. He says that Adam Page should be going for world championships and should not be on Zero Hour, then says he will be ashamed for him, saying that Adam Page went from being a champion to being in pre-shows. Swerve says Adam Page has had no new gear or merchandise is over a year and doesn't even have singles matches, singles promos or singles title matches on Dynamite anymore because he has gotten comfortable after hanging off The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson).

Swerve then proposes they can fight for Adam Page's spot, but warns him that he has no sympathy for him and that if they do this, he will walk him like a dog.

Afterwards, he realized it is a great time in pro wrestling, but at the same time, there were people like "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, "Overkill" Mark Haskins (whom he admits TNA treated like crap), Matt Taven (in a rematch), Jay Lethal and Jonathan Greaham. Gresham shows up and says that while Shelley is talking about what he wants, they were talking about what ROH needs the last time they spoke, as change needs to come and honor needs to be restored. He says that Shelley had the opportunity to do that but dropped the ball when he was needed most. Gresham says he has been here for three or four years and refuses to hand the opportunity over to him, and despite being happy with him for returning, he does not want him boring the fans with his little speech without admitting he dropped the ball. After Gresham tells Shelley he is disappointed with him and tries to leave, Shelley tells Gresham he considered calling Gresham the guy he wanted to wrestle the most and the guy he saw leading the companies, then tells Gresham he is "a douchebag." Shelley then calls Gresham a "puss," then says that while Gresham was busy playing with his action figure, picking his character from a video game roster and studying every move and nuance he made while he was changing the wrestling landscape and making Detroit, Michigan proud, he was making history. Shelley tells Gresham that if he wants a match with him, he can ask him for one instead of being a comp. He credits Gresham for improving on what he did, then says he was the one who laid the foundation in the first place and challenges him to a match in New Orleans, Louisiana. Gresham takes the microphone and almost speaks into it, but puts it down and heads to the back, leading the fans to call Gresham "octopussy." Shelley says he would be shocked if Gresham did not respond, then says that he will "whip that ass Detroit style."

KM tells Fallah Bahh there might be something to that after Scarlett leaves with Bobo.



Eli Drake shows up. He says he has had fun coming to the ring the last couple of week, as they have been dummies who have been trying to impress him and have failed to do so.

Konnan and King meet in a restaurant, where some older gentlemen are sitting at a table. The man in the center says that this get-together has been set-up because the violence that has been happening in public as of late has been unbearable and they cannot afford this kind of heat. He says that business has been good, and the violation of the G Code is brought up. Konnan chews out King for running Richie over, and King complains about being kept down and crucified for doing the same thing everyone else in the gang is doing, saying he did what he had to be done. The three men at the table converse among themselves, then decree that a cease-fire will continue until October 14th at Bound For Glory in New York City. There, they will battle over who is king of the street there, as The Latin-American Xchange (Santana, Ortiz, Konnan) and The OG'z (Hernandez, Homicide, King) will square off in a final war. Konnan tells King he should have finished him off along time ago, but he let his emotions trick his logic into think it was the right thing to do, and on October 14th, he will not miss.

He proposes making this interesting, and tells "The Machine" Brian Cage that if he wants to stick his nose in their business, then they will never, ever forget.





Austin Aries, Killer Kross and Moose show up. Aries says everyone wants to konw why Moose did what he did last week and standing with him and Killer Kross, and decides to let Moose explain everything. Moose says Eddie Edwards has everyone fooled, calling him a selfish, lying fraud and threatening to expose him. He says that when Eddie Edwards was going though with his issues with his wife Alisha, laid in the hospital with his face broken from Sami Callihan and had issues with Tommy Dreamer, he was there for him, but when he was laying in the hospital contemplating retirement, Eddie was nowhere to be found. He says the only person who checked on him was Killer Kross, who asked him how it felt to be abandoned. After that, he got a phone call from Austin Aries, not Eddie Edwards, who admitted that Moose is talented but would never be the #1 guy in the company or the industry if he catered to the fans. He thanks Aries for being the truth as well as the greatest man that ever lived. Aries thanks Moose for listening to reason, as Eddie Edwards only cared about getting shots at the World Championship instead of Moose, who now has the mastermind of professional wrestling as well as the baddest man walking the streets guiding him. Aries says everything has changed in Impact Wrestling, and nobody is safe and nobody is taking the Impact Wrestling World Championship away from him. Suddenly, Johnny Impact shows up, and Aries calls Johnny a nobody before Johnny says Killer Kross would be more ambitious than to play Austin Aries' bodyguard. Johnny also says he forgot to mention that at Bound For Glory, Austin will be defending the World title against him. Aries says they don't have to wait until Bound For Glory, and asks Moose and Killer Kross to clear the ring so they can go at it right now. Johnny tells Aries he's seen this before and knows that Killer Kross and Moose will jump him along with Aries. Johnny then advertises Boone: The Bounty Hunter, which is now available on DVD, much to the chagrin of Aries, who tells Johnny to get in the ring and stop advertising his movie on his time. Johnny then dares Aries to fight him on the ramp, but Aries refuses. Johnny then tells Aries that he can stay in the ring and prove that "the banana in his pocket is as small as everybody thinks it is." This is enough to get Austin Aries upset and charge at Johnny Impact, and both men brawl on the entrance ramp. Aries, Kross and Moose all get superkicked, and it soon becomes a three-on-one beatdown on Johnny Impact. Security shows up, but they are easily laid out by Moose before he, Kross and Aries place Johnny's head into a steel chair and smash another steel chair into the legs of the first one to target Johnny's neck.
