Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling puts The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Stori Denali) before stating that Beef is Beef. He says Beef picked a perfect time to ride their coattails, as The Premier Athletes get to put their first tag team titles and that the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships will not fit the waists of either Beef or the fans in attendance.

Dalton Castle says the three of them are the greatest trio to ever step foot in a wrestling ring, but Riccaboni reminds Dalton that The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) is undefeated.

Alan Angels shows up and mocks AR Fox, saying he is just like everyone else in the wrestling business. He talks about how Fox trained him ten years ago, then says that Fox did not care and that while he took his students on the road with him, he did not take him. Angels says he did well for himself and got signed before All Elite Wrestling knew who he was, then says he has been and is still taking opportunities, and wants AR Fox to wrestle him. He says that when he does, it will not be student vs. teacher, but "equal versus equal." AR Fox then stops Angels from leaving just so he can punk him out.

He sayshe is one of the best tag team wrestlers on the planet after having three different reigns with the tag team titles without ever losing them. He compares himself to water and that no matter who he teams with, he is "a universal wrestler" and everything one looks for in a professional wrestler, yet he feels a lack of respect from some people. He says that he is at war with his old self and the self he is trying to be, and credits his daughter Luna with trying to be a better person.

Lethal says that this may be a different era now, but history is about to repeat itself. As for Adam Priest and "The Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington, he did not like them, as they needed him more than he needed them.

She says that Toni gave her a shot because she was a fighting champion and that she is doing the same, and that as hard as Toni fought for it, she will fight even harder, and Toni Storm will find out why she is "The Galaxy's Greatest" and "The Cosmic Killer," and says that it will be nothing personal when she knocks her back into black-and-white.

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.

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.

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.

Mercedes responds that they all came to see her and that Britt is her biggest fan, then wants to know if Britt is all in. She says she has been all in since she was ten years old and that Britt will not go all in like here because she is not like her, and that Britt will never be her. Britt says she has the guts, the heart and the balls because she had two "Plan A's" and has been one of one, yet admit that she admires Mercedes and wants to be her, as she walked so that she could run. She then says that Mercedes is no longer that girl and is a smug, arrogant asshole who cares more about her legacy than about anyone like her, then tells Mercedes to find that version of herself as it is the one she wants to face. Britt then says she is going to follow the rules and not attack Mercedes, then says Kamille is getting on her nerves and hits her with the microphone. Mercedes and Kamille retreat.

Juice says he should have been anointed by AEW, but now they are forced to do so, and now he, Austin and Colten are three-fourths of the AEW Unified Trios Champions and they will be champions for a long time. Interim EVP Christopher Daniels shows up and says a substitute cannot stand in for Jay White and announces that The Bang Bang Gang are being stripped of the Unified Trios Championships. All of a sudden, The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Killswitch, Mama Wayne) shows up, and Christian Cage says that Christopher Daniels made the right call, then demands Christopher make them the trios champions. Daniels says Tony Khan will like that, but he says Tony Khan will like a match between The Bang Bang Club and The Patriarchy for the titles. Austin proposes they do this right here, right now, but Christian Cage says the fans want this because the Calgary Flames cannot win a championship, and tells The Bang Bang Gang that The Patriarchy will see them down the road. (This action will de-unify the AEW World Trios Championships and the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Team Championships.)
We hear from The House of Black (Malakai Black and Brody King). Malakai Black says that next week, they will start building what is the foundation for Wembley Stadium.

(During the match, Dalton Castle is knocked out by Roderick Strong's jumping knee in the finish of the match, and a week later, it is announced by Tony Khan that Dalton Castle is injured and out for the rest of 2024.)
We hear from Mark Briscoe, who says he is taking the week off to train in the ring as has Blood & Guts coming up as well as his Ring of Honor World Championship match with Roderick Strong. He says The Elite are overdressed to bleed with him, and says he has done the dance with Roderick Strong and that his ass is his. He also wishes good luck to Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy in their match tonight.
We see a vignette for a masked wrestler, who is coming to Collision next week.

Stokely says he hoped that that Statlander knocked sense into Willow, but Willow wants to preach about positivity when that has not worked out for her. He says everything she has is became of him and Statlander, and after bringing her into this world, they are going to take her out. Statlander says this will never end for Willow.

After the match, Trent Beretta punts O'Reilly in the stomach, but gets confronted by Taven and Bennett. Orange Cassidy shows up behind Trent Beretta and smacks him in the back of the head with a monkey wrench, much to the shock of Taven and Bennett, who leave the ring. O'Reilly stops Orange before he can swing the monkey wrench again, then Taven and Bennett get attacked by Tomohiro Ishii near the ramp.

Collision Course - Collision recap for May 11, 2024
The Blackpool Combat Club ("The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli) beat Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin). (With this match airing on TBS instead of TNT, this is the first time TBS has aired a wrestling match on a Saturday night since the end of WCW Saturday Night.) After the match, Danielson asks the fans to give a round of applause to Top Flight, saying that they are what AEW is all about. He says that the "AEW" chant at the start of the match warmed his heart before leading the fans into one. He also says that the first Anarchy In The Arena match almost ended his career, but he wants to be in the upcoming one so much because he loves AEW, and while The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry) are part of AEW's formation, they do not represent AEW anymore. Danielson states that founder and President Tony Khan has been at every show in AEW's history while The Elite, who help run the company, are not even here, then reiterates that he is in Anarchy In The Arena again because of what AEW represents and does. He also makes it very clear that he will do anything to protect AEW.
Roderick Strong guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Machine" Brian Cage and Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) beat The Voros Twins (Chris and Patrick Voros) and Evan Rivers. After the match, Tony Schiavone interview Gates of Agony and Brian Cage. Brian Cage says it is not Swerve Strickland's house any more, then says that Swerve and Prince Nana are selfish and did nothing but take while leaving them high and dry until they needed them. He says that the three of them were looking for the leadership and guidance of someone like The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry), then Swerve Strickland's music hits. Swerve shows up and chokes Kaun from behind with a chain, and avoids Toa Liona. Brian Cage is able to catch Swerve out of the air, but Swerve escapes his grasp and lays him out before hitting Toa Liona with the Swerve Stomp off the apron. Bishop Kaun ends up being the recipient of another Swerve Stomp, much to the delight of the fans, before Swerve chokes him in the corner with the chain and tells him that he is coming for everything. Toa Liona soon barrels towards Swerve and tackles him, then tells Prince Nana that what he is going to do to Swerve will be his fault. He rushes halfway around the ring to hit Swerve again, but Swerve hits him with a cinder block. Brian Cage watches as Swerve presses Toa Liona's head on the top of the ring steps and smashes his head with a metal folding chair.
Backstage, Swerve Strickland says he tries to be the company guy and what AEW wants him to be, but people have told him that he has gotten soft since becoming AEW World Champion, including his own people. He says that he brought the former Mogul Embassy ("The Machine" Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) into AEW and that he can take him out, and next week, he will take out "The Machine" Brian Cage.

In backstage footage from after this week's Dynamite, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada challenges Dax Harwood to a match next week, and Jack Perry says that all of his Anarchy In The Arena opponents are dead. All of a sudden, as The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) speak, they stop Christopher Daniels, and Matthew chews him out only for Daniels to yell back and threaten to beat his ass if he speaks to him like a lackey again.
Backstage, Christopher Daniels says he has not forgotten the sacrifices he has made for his success and where he has come from, but The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry) has. He says he has been with AEW since day one and helped make AEW what it is, but now The Elite want to make AEW about themselves. He says The Young Bucks tried to start a riot, but after he did his job to stop, they talked down to him. He says he will not back down and cower when they speak, but now they are punishing him with a tag team much. He picks Matt Sydal as his tag team partner, and when the bell rings, his heart, not his badge, will be in play, and The Elite's titles will not matter when they get punished.
Backstage, we hear from FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Dax Harwood says he has been in the business for twenty years and has never been in a match like Anarchy In The Arena, and after facing "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington, he now has to face "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada.

Hook tells Jericho he does not know who or what he can be, and that he cannot wait to show him.
