PAC challenges Orange Cassidy

The broadcast opened backstage with PAC confronting Orange Cassidy. PAC, stating he needed to take out his frustrations on someone, challenged Cassidy to a one-on-one match. Cassidy accepted, and the match was set for the upcoming Title Tuesday special episode of Dynamite.

The Death Riders vs. Jay Lethal, Adam Priest & Tommy Billington

The Death Riders attacked their opponents before the bell, starting the match in a chaotic brawl. The early portion saw Claudio Castagnoli gorilla press Adam Priest onto the ringside barricade. Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia then isolated Priest in their corner, wearing him down until he made a tag to Tommy Billington.

Billington entered with a series of high-impact moves on Garcia, but the match broke down again when Jay Lethal and Moxley tagged in for the first time. Moxley caught Lethal in a rear naked choke, but Lethal escaped. The finish came when Moxley pushed Garcia out of the way of a Lethal Injection and hit a cutter. Garcia then applied the Dragon Tamer submission while Moxley delivered a curb stomp to Lethal’s head, causing Lethal to pass out.

After the match, Garcia took a microphone and confronted his former partner Matt Menard at the commentary desk. Garcia said that he was with winners now, calling Menard a loser and a parasite like Nigel McGuinness.

Nick Wayne Injury Update

In a medical office backstage, a doctor informed Nick Wayne that his ankle was still swollen and tender and that he would need another six to eight weeks to recover. An enraged Wayne called the doctor an idiot. Mother Wayne and Kip Sabian sided with Wayne, claiming he was not a “normal healer” and was a “lion” before they left to find a new doctor.

Jamie Hayter vs. Anna Jay

Jamie Hayter picked up a hard-fought victory against Anna Jay. The two exchanged holds and takedowns in the opening minutes before Jay gained an advantage with a flatliner.

Later in the match, Hayter fought back with a series of dropkicks and a Saito suplex for a near-fall. Jay countered with a blockbuster from the second rope, which also resulted in a two-count. Jay attempted to lock in her Queen Slayer submission, but Hayter fought out of the hold, hoisted Jay onto her shoulder, and connected with the Hayterade lariat for the pinfall victory.

The Acclaimed Argue

Lexy Nair interviewed Max Caster, who celebrated the end of his recent losing streak. Big Bill and Bryan Keith interrupted, with Bill dismissing Caster’s win. Anthony Bowens then arrived and argued that he was the true star of the team. This led to Bill challenging both Caster and Bowens to a tag team match. They accepted before realizing they would have to team with each other, walking off while insisting they were not The Acclaimed.

La Faccion Ingobernables vs. Shayne Stetson & Cha Cha Charlie

ROH World Tag Team Champions Rush and Sammy Guevara, representing La Faccion Ingobernables, scored a dominant victory over a local team. Rush brutalized Stetson at ringside before turning his attention to Charlie in the ring. After delivering his Bull’s Horns dropkick, Rush tagged in Guevara, who hit a top-rope senton to secure the quick win.

Eddie Kingston vs. Dralistico

Accompanied by Hook, Eddie Kingston defeated Dralistico, who had Rush and Guevara in his corner. Guevara joined the commentary team for the match. After an initial feeling-out process, the match escalated into a stiff striking exchange. Dralistico took control by targeting Kingston’s knee with a dropkick.

Kingston rallied with an STO. As Guevara left the commentary table to potentially interfere, Hook stepped in to keep him at bay. Back in the ring, Kingston ducked a spinning kick from Dralistico and landed the uraken for the pinfall.

Don Callis Family vs. MxM Collection

The trio of Mansoor, Mason Madden, and Johnny TV held an open challenge for what they called a “casting call.” The challenge was answered by The Don Callis Family’s Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, and Josh Alexander.

The Don Callis Family members dominated the match from the outset. Takeshita dispatched Johnny TV and Mansoor with powerful forearm strikes. A brief comeback attempt by the larger Mason Madden was quickly shut down. The match ended after a rapid sequence of maneuvers on Mansoor, culminating in a sheer drop brainbuster from Fletcher for the decisive victory.

Dalton Castle’s Crisis of Confidence

Dalton Castle was seen backstage with The Outrunners. Castle expressed anxiety, saying he felt immense pressure to top what he called their “greatest performance of all time” from the previous week and had an existential crisis. The Outrunners responded by physically picking Castle up and carrying him away, with Castle remarking that he was in good hands.

Kevin Knight vs. Dax Harwood

In one of the night’s featured matches, Kevin Knight defeated Dax Harwood. Harwood attacked Knight from behind before the bell to gain an early advantage. The match featured intense, back-and-forth action, including a moment where Harwood dumped Knight over the ringside barricade into the crowd.

Near the conclusion of the match, both men exchanged near-falls after executing powerful moves, including a slingshot powerbomb from Harwood. As Cash Wheeler attempted to interfere, he was neutralized by Knight’s cornerman Mike Bailey, while Willow Nightingale stopped Stokely Hathaway from getting involved. With Hathaway standing in the ring, Knight leaped over him from the top rope to hit the UFO splash on Harwood for the pinfall.

Following the match, Hathaway confronted Nightingale in the ring. As Nightingale prepared to powerbomb him, Megan Bayne appeared and attacked Nightingale from behind. Penelope Ford then joined Bayne in the ring as Hathaway threw powder in Knight’s face. The new group of Bayne, Ford, FTR, and Hathaway stood tall together to end the segment.

Kris Statlander and Toni Storm Face-to-Face

AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander and Toni Storm met in the ring ahead of their WrestleDream title match. In an unusual segment, both women lay on their backs in the center of the ring to talk. Statlander stated that the match was not personal but a contest she had long awaited, while Storm spoke of how personal the championship was to her.

The two eventually got to their feet and came to blows. Their fight was interrupted by The Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue & Thekla), who attacked both Statlander and Storm. 

Harley Cameron then ran in from the crowd to make the save. A six-woman tag team match was subsequently announced for the next episode of Collision, pitting Statlander, Storm, and Cameron against The Triangle of Madness.

Main Event: Orange Cassidy & The Paragon vs. The Don Callis Family

In the main event, Orange Cassidy teamed with Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong to face Rocky Romero, Hechicero, and Lance Archer of The Don Callis Family. The early part of the match highlighted a technical wrestling exchange between O’Reilly and Hechicero. Lance Archer used his size and power to dominate all three of his opponents for a period.

The final minutes of the match were chaotic, with all six men involved. Cassidy and Strong neutralized Archer and Hechicero with Orange Punches and dives to the outside. This left O’Reilly alone in the ring with Romero, whom he caught in a tornado DDT before locking in an armbar for the submission victory.

After the match, the rest of the Don Callis Family, including TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher, appeared on the entrance ramp to stare down the victors. It was later confirmed on social media that O’Reilly will challenge Fletcher for the TNT Championship on the “Title Tuesday” episode of Dynamite.
