OC says he will take care of it this Wednesday.

Jay White on the mic says Adam Page is still hell bent on coming after him. Despite how good Hangman is supposed to be, White has always been ahead of him throughout their careers. Page better be rehabbing that knee, planning and scheming. But Hangman better not miss, because otherwise it will cost him. White says he’ll give him one last chance at redemption. Hangman vs Switchblade at Full Gear, one more time. Guns up!
*Lexy Nair is with Ricochet backstage, while he preps for Lio Rush. She wants to ask about MVP though. Ricochet says yeah he has history with MVP. Ricochet came to AEW to do his own thing. Lio Rush rocks up and says he’s not the only one here with something to prove. Rush got a card too, Ricochet ain’t special. Lio says don’t overlook him – Ricochet may be racking up wins, but he won’t be getting that title shot if he can’t beat Lio tonight.
*Lexy Nair welcomes Kyle Fletcher backstage. The freshly-shaven Fletcher says he wants to talk about Fright Night this coming Wednesday, where he’s called out Will Ospreay. Fletcher knows he’s a scared coward, and he will prove it. Fletcher will show up to Collision next week, throwing out an open challenge to show that he is no longer the future, but the ‘now’. Tony Schiavone says that the match is this Wednesday; one of them is wrong!

*Nigel McGuinness sits down with Wheeler Yuta to try and understand why he did want he did to Bryan Danielson. Nigel says he’s putting his personal feelings for Danielson aside for this. Yuta didn’t just try to end his career, Danielson was at risk of permanent brain damage. He wants to hear the words out of Yuta’s mouth, because Yuta will have to deal with the repercussions from those actions for the rest of his life.
Yuta is incredulous – Nigel has dreamt of ending Danielson’s career for years. No, Nigel refutes that, he just wanted to be known as the better wrestler. Yuta says the American Dragon we knew was dead long before Wrestle Dream. Nigel says Yuta has stepped across a line, so where does it stop? Yuta says he doesn’t do it because he enjoys it, he does it because he has to. Without Pac, Claudio, Moxley, where would Yuta be? They do what they have to do, for the greater good. Yuta storms off.
*Jake Roberts is with La Faccion Ingobernables backstage, and says everyone knows FTR are great wrestlers, who have proven everything. But can they stand in the ring with LFI? These guys aren’t just wrestlers, they’re assassins. They know FTR have bad shoulders; they’re going to twist them, bend them, and break them.

Lio Rush comes out with Top Flight, but they don’t hang around ringside for this one. Lio takes the first shot with an elbow strike while Ricochet was looking for a grapple.

*Lexi Nair is with Harley Cameron backstage, but Harley corrects her…she’s Thunder Harley! Rosa is not the only one who can paint her face. Thunder Rosa shows up and says she’s one of the nastiest pussy cats she’s seen. Rosa says she has to teach Harley want the face paint really means. Next week, November 2nd, Thunder Rosa vs Harley Cameron in a Dia de los Muertos match. I can dig that.
*Lexy Nair is with the Undisputed Kingdom and the Beast Mortos. Strong says he knows that Mortos wants to be with them, but there must be something lost in translation. Taven has got Mortos some sweets. It’s still not getting through to him, so Strong calls Mike. Bennett shows up with a Mortos mask on and starts grunting at him. They’re all going to go Trick or Treating, apparently. Haha Tony Schiavone says “sometimes you just have to let it speak for itself.” Yep.

*Mariah May says it took her 9 months to do what Anna couldn’t do in her entire career. Let’s be honest, girls, anyone who never gives up was never good enough in the first place. May learnt in Japan that there isn’t a single woman alive that can touch her. Sink or swim? That’s nice, now Anna Jay is going to drown. Next week on Collision, it’s Mariay May defending against Anna Jay.
*Duelling promo package for Adam Cole vs Buddy Matthews. Adam Cole says the old Adam Cole is dead. Buddy Matthews says he respected the old Adam, not this new iteration. Cole admits that Buddy is going to be a test, but he will be his first victory. Buddy says the old Adam Cole would put up a fight. Cole says he’s coming back as the best on the planet. Buddy doesn’t think he has it in him.
*Lexi Nair is with Tomohiro Ishii and Kyle O’Reilly. Jericho thought they could run Big Tom out of AEW? Well, he’s back. O’Reilly says the Learning Tree have no honor, as evident from this week’s Ladder War. Lexy asks about the Undisputed Kingdom, and O’Reilly says he’s not focused on the past – he keeps his eye on everything that goes on in AEW, but he’s good in the Conglomeration.
