Ricochet then insists he has no business with MVP, leading Rush to tell him not to overlook him as a loss means there will be no International Title shot for Ricochet, just a one-way ticket to the back of the line. Rush then walks away as Ricochet says he’ll see him in the ring and we get a hype video package for upcoming AEW shows.

We see the interview between Nigel McGuinness and Wheeler Yuta.

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.

Next week on Collision, it’s Mariay May defending against Anna Jay.

O’Reilly then sends it to Ishii, who speaks in Japanese. O’Reilly then says that’s right because The Learning Tree has no honor. O’Reilly then says he’s never seen Orange Cassidy more livid than he was on Dynamite and Jon Moxley may have bitten off more than he can chew. Nair then mentions that O’Reilly was keeping an eye on Adam Cole and Roderick Strong on Dynamite. O’Reilly then says he keeps an eye on everyone, he doesn’t live in the past and he’s happy being right here in The Conglomeration.
