Ladder Match for Andrade’s Mask: Andrade El Idolo Vs Buddy Matthews
This is a highly anticipated rematch following their spectacular encounter on the debut episode of Collision. Andrade appeared in new gear, exuding the presence of a Latino powerhouse. Right from the start, both competitors went after each other fiercely, with Andrade gaining an early advantage and sending Matthews to the floor after an intense chop exchange. Showing his agility, Andrade climbed a ladder outside the ring and executed a breathtaking moonsault onto Matthews below. ##
Andrade took a moment to strategically place multiple ladders inside the ring. Matthews managed to land some strikes, but Andrade responded by propelling him into a ladder before executing his signature three Amigos suplexes. Though Matthews evaded the third suplex, he couldn't avoid a painful hip toss into a ladder in the corner. Andrade then attempted a ladder-assisted double knee attack in the corner, but Matthews cleverly countered by flinging the ladder into Andrade's face. ##
With the action heating up, Matthews sought medical attention for his shoulder, and during the picture-in-picture commercial break, the doctor appeared to reset Matthews' shoulder into place. ##
When the broadcast resumed, Matthews displayed sheer aggression, relentlessly throwing Andrade around the ringside area like a ragdoll. He even created a ladder bridge between the ring and the announce table, sending Andrade crashing into it with a forceful flapjack. The two fighters battled on the apron, teasing dangerous falls onto the ladder bridge, until Matthews executed a devastating double-arm DDT onto the ladder. ##
Matthews then set up a table in the corner of the ring and repeatedly drove Andrade's head into it. Though Matthews attempted to remove Andrade's mask, Andrade thwarted his efforts and retaliated with a knee strike. To Matthews' advantage, Julia Hart, a ringside assistant, produced handcuffs to help him restrain Andrade on the ring post. With Andrade temporarily immobilized, Matthews attempted to strike him with a chair, but Andrade managed to kick the chair into Matthews' face. As Julia Hart tried to intervene, Andrade grabbed the key, unlocked himself, and then used the handcuffs to restrain Matthews. Seizing the opportunity, Andrade once again targeted the mask, but this time Matthews interrupted, resulting in Andrade sending both of them crashing through a table at ringside. ##
With the stage cleared, Andrade finally secured the victory by retrieving the mask. ##
WINNER: Andrade El Idolo ##
Darby Allin Vs Minoru Suzuki ##
The announcers recapped the recent history between these two fierce competitors, highlighting their run-ins at Forbidden Door and the Royal Rampage events. Allin wasted no time and got a jumpstart to the match, catching Suzuki off guard with a boot that sent him flying off the apron, followed by an impressive suicide dive. Before officially starting the match, Allin even dropkicked Suzuki out of a chair, setting the tone for the intense showdown ahead. ##
Allin relentlessly delivered a series of strikes to Suzuki, but the tenacious veteran fought back, flooring Allin with a powerful forearm shot. Suzuki took control of the bout, dishing out punishment on Allin and securing a close nearfall with a Penalty Kick. Showing his aggressive side, Suzuki ripped the tape off Allin's waist during the match, adding an extra level of intensity. ##
When the broadcast returned from a picture-in-picture commercial break, Allin resumed his offensive assault, unleashing a flurry of chops on Suzuki. However, Suzuki demonstrated his unyielding strength by dropping Allin with just one devastating shot to the chest. Despite the setback, Allin mustered the determination to fight back, though Suzuki knocked him down again. ##
Suzuki, in an interesting display of sportsmanship, offered Allin a free shot, and the resilient young wrestler took the opportunity, landing several strikes on Suzuki before surprising him with a Code Red for a nearfall. Allin attempted a Coffin Splash in the corner, but Suzuki swiftly caught him in a chokehold, making Allin's situation seem precarious. ##
Refusing to back down, Allin managed to evade Suzuki's infamous Gotch Style Piledriver, turning the tables with a springboard Coffin Splash. Allin then tried to seal the deal with his signature Coffin Drop move, but Suzuki responded swiftly, locking Allin in a rear-naked choke. ##
However, in a stunning twist, Allin used his wits and agility to roll back and stack Suzuki on his shoulders, executing a flash pin for the unexpected victory in this hard-fought encounter. The audience witnessed an exhilarating match showcasing the resilience and ingenuity of Darby Allin, as he triumphed over the seasoned veteran Minoru Suzuki in this captivating bout. ##

Gravity skillfully avoided Joe and engaged in some impressive spacewalking before executing a perfect hurricanrana and a flawless lucha armdrag. However, Joe managed to cut him off with a series of well-timed elbows in the corner. As Gravity attempted a daring dive, Joe cleverly spacewalked away, drawing an enthusiastic cheer from the excited crowd and a hearty laugh from myself. Joe concluded the match with a devastating Muscle Buster, leaving everyone in awe of his prowess. ##

Upon returning from the break, Vikingo displayed remarkable agility as he managed to evade both Gunns and successfully made a scorching hot tag to Andretti. ##
Andretti attempted a split-legged moonsault on Colton but unfortunately missed, yet he quickly recovered and delivered a stunning Pele Kick to Austin. He then took down Colton before skillfully dodging a senton from Robinson. Both Martin and Andretti teamed up to launch Vikingo onto all three opponents, who were outside the ring. The Gunns, however, regrouped and regained control, isolating Martin before executing the devastating 3:10 To Yuma finisher to secure the victory. ##
