Thoughts: This was all squash for no real reason. And it's a shame because I was excited to see MXM TV again after months of being off TV. This was a random one. I was surprised Mansoor took a top rope release german in this.

Other Don Callis Family members come out on the stage after. Kyle Fletcher holds his title up at the other Kyle.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual Collision with some random matches, mostly new developments in the midcard and some okay wrestling. There was nothing must see here and I'd say it was about average. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. The opener was my match of the night.
