Thoughts: Lena won as expected here. It wasn't that great as they didn't hit some of their shots clean. Lena's not a particularly impressive in-ring girl especially since they have Bayne with her, who is better than her at almost everything.
Mascara Dorada vs Andrade El Idolo
Don Callis is on commentary for this.

Thoughts: They did a bit too much with them flipping out of 2nd rope flipping russian legsweeps and canadian destroyers. It was all flying here and Idolo got the win as expected. This was kind of a warm up for the Idolo/Bandido match at the PPV. This wasn't my kind of match.
Bandido comes out on the ramp. Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero jump him. Brody King then helps out Band. Swerve Strickland comes out and flying facekicks King. They fight outside. Bandido tries to get in and he gets grabbed and dropkicked by Romero and Trent. Bandido clears them off then tope con hilos both. Bandido then points at Idolo outside.
Overall thoughts: It was one of the weaker Collision's and not much effort was put into it. It's a night before the PPV so no major angles were going down here. Most of the stars weren't wrestling and the matches were mostly random. I liked Komander vs Mark Davis best here. You could skip this show and not miss too much. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was an average show.
