Collision Course - Collision recap for May 20, 2026

After Dynamite's main event, "The Jet" Kevin Knight tells "Speedball" Mike Bailey that he just gave Darby Allin the fight of his life and that he is proud of how he fought him tonight. Knight then says AEW has not seen a champion like Darby defending the AEW World Championship week after week and putting his body on the line like any wrestler should, and that nobody has heart like Darby Allin. He then says it is up to Darby to humble MJF, and if he can beat MJF, he knows Darby can, and after Darby beats MJF and shaves him bald, he and Speedball will be waiting for him as champion. Knight tells Darby not to let the fans down, for they are counting on him. As JetSpeed ("The Jet" Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey) leave, MJF - who has fled through the crowd - rushes back out from the crowd, gets in the ring and attacks Darby from behind. After declaring that he will be a three-time AEW World Championship, MJF then produces an electric razor for the ring to use against Darby. Darby grabs MJF's arm and fights back, pinning MJF's hand to the floor and nearly shaving MJF's hair off.

After the match, Samoa Joe shows up and tells Ospreay that in a very short amount of time, he will have him all to himself. He says he is out here for his friends, then says that Ospreay chose not to be his friend and that he will suffer the consequences at Double or Nothing when he gives him his dream match and puts him to sleep. Ospreay tells Joe that this is a dream come true for him after people doubted him following double fusion neck surgery that he could not have gotten ten years ago and after he came up short at winning the AEW World Championship a year ago. He then says he has a chance to live his dream and win the AEW World Championship in the biggest stadium his country has, and that The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) have killed the old him and rebuilt him into an assassin.

He then says that FTR wants to kill their connection and end their tag team, then says he wants the best version of FTR so he can beat that FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and make them say "I quit." Christian tells FTR that they have made some questionable choices, and says that when you are born, you look like your family, and when you die, you look like your choices. He then says that because of their choices, they are going to "fuck [FTR] up."

Eddie says there is nothing personal between him and Mark Briscoe and that he loves him like a brother after having known him forever, but this is about the ROH World Championship and he cannot lose again. He says he will bring more than a fight, he will bring the old Eddie that doesn't care about life or another person's life.
