Thoughts: It was just a match. I didn't like Tony gambling during this match as it took the attention off of it. Swerve worked the arm a little here but it didn't go anywhere. Swerve won as expected.

Toni Storm is wearing a red outfit again and talks on the stage. She says she's disappointed in Mercedes Mone. She said Mone told her they would have the biggest match of all time and since then she's been eating steak and trying to kiss her. She says she's still in Mexico as she won another title.

Bill says Nick's real father could be anyone if what he heard about Mother Wayne is true. Bill challenges them to a match if they don't like what he's saying. Christian says they won't be wrestling tonight.

Thoughts: This one was as random as it gets.

We see Anthony Bowens and Billy Gunn talking last week. Billy says he knows Bowens has been struggling. Bowens says Billy is supposed to be helping him. Bowens says they need to get their act together quick as they need to win.

Thoughts: It was alright and had a lot of people just coming in and out. Nobody embarrassed themselves here. This ran about 6 minutes overtime and it was obvious it would as it started at 9:54PM.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual Collision with a lot of random matches. Most of the matches were okay though so it was acceptable and we actually had a few stars on the show. We also had the return of Kota Ibushi. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 total but didn't think you needed to see anything here.
