“Cope Open†Challenge: Adam Copeland vs. Lee Moriarty (w/ Shane Taylor) ##
Copeland managed to escape Moriarty's early mat takedown and responded by ringing Copeland's arm up on the apron just before a commercial break. Once they returned, Copeland executed a full nelson slam, bringing Moriarty down. Copeland got fired up, delivering a reverse DDT for a close nearfall.##
Ascending to the top rope, Copeland's plans were foiled as Moriarty yanked him down with an armdrag, earning a nearfall. Moriarty promptly shifted into the Border City Stretch, but Copeland reached the ropes to break the hold.##
In a counter-attack, Copeland knocked Moriarty onto the top rope and followed up with an avalanche fallaway slam. Ready to hit the spear, Copeland was distracted by Taylor on the outside. Moriarty took advantage, landing a Yakuza Kick. Copeland, however, dodged a springboard, slid outside, and speared Taylor. Moriarty responded with a dive onto Copeland and countered Edge's crossface attempt into another Border City Stretch. ##
Copeland fought his way out, delivering forearms to the back of Moriarty's head. A big boot and a backbreaker were next, followed by Copeland locking in the crossface, now dubbed the Grindhouse, for the submission win. ##
WINNER: Adam Copelan ##
After the match, Copeland made it clear that his focus was on the TNT Champion Christian Cage.##
Following a video package showcasing last week's House of Black attack, FTR and Daniel Garcia spoke backstage with Lexy Nair. Harwood mentioned they might not necessarily get along, but they all shared the same mindset for the upcoming match. Garcia emphasized the importance of being on Collision to grow as a wrestler and vowed to make the House of Black pay for their attack on him and the people he cared about.##
Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara were backstage with Lexy Nair, who reminded everyone that Sammy Guevara holds the unique distinction of being the only man in AEW history to win a title at Battle of the Belts. They praised Ricky Starks and Big Bill, acknowledging the challenge, but expressed confidence that they would hit the streets and emerge as the new AEW World Tag Team Champions later that night at Battle of the Belts. ##
ROH World Six Man Tag Team Title Match: The Mogul Embassy (Bishop Kaun, Brian Cage & Toa Liona) (c) vs. Lance Archer & The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) (w/ Jake Roberts) ##
During the entrances, they highlighted the miscommunication between Archer and the Embassy in an eight-man tag match on Dynamite, setting the stage for this showdown. Cage initiated the action by executing a suplex, a headscissors, and a German suplex on Archer. Archer countered with a crossbody that took down both Cage and Kaun before tagging in Vincent. Vincent dropped Kaun with a back elbow, but Kaun and Liona seized control by isolating Vincent in their corner.##
Dutch and Liona interfered from the apron, sparking a Pier Six brawl that led to a commercial break. Dutch delivered a crossbody, but Kaun responded by dropping Archer with a DDT reversal. Kaun fought his way out of the opponent's corner, and Archer cleared the apron, hitting a chokeslam. The action spilled outside, culminating in Dutch hitting a dive to the Embassy on the floor.##
Archer positioned Kaun for the Blackout, but Nana held onto Kaun's foot in the corner. Roberts took out Nana with a punch, allowing the Righteous to execute a tandem move for a nearfall. The Embassy interrupted Autumn Sunshine from the floor before Kaun sent Vincent into a Pounce. Kaun and Liona executed Open the Gates on Vincent, securing a nearfall that Archer broke up. Vincent and Kaun remained in the ring, and after a series of reversals, Kaun secured the victory with a Pedigree. ##
WINNER: The Mogul Embassy (Bishop Kaun, Brian Cage & Toa Liona) ##
After the match, Prince Nana proudly declared his men as the greatest ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions in history. He went on to mention how the Bullet Club Gold expressed their desire for more gold, yet their leader Jay White couldn't even defeat Swerve Strickland in the Continental Classic. Nana then issued a challenge for Dynamite: The Mogul Embassy versus Bullet Club Gold for the ROH World Six-Man Titles.##
Presten Vance, in a backstage interview with Lexy Nair before his International Title match against Orange Cassidy at Battle of the Belts, found himself interrupted by Roderick Strong and The Kingdom. Vance casually dismissed Strong's good luck wishes, confidently stating that after winning tonight, he'd be ready to kick Strong's ass any day of the week. ##
Singles Match: Dustin Rhodes vs. Willie Mack ##
Rhodes and Mack exchanged punches, with Rhodes scoring a nearfall with his kneeling punch. Mack countered with chops, followed by a running kick and a standing moonsault for another nearfall. Mack landed a significant thrust kick, but Rhodes managed to evade a frog splash. Rhodes then executed a Canadian Destroyer and a snap powerslam, securing yet another nearfall. After a series of exchanges, Rhodes delivered the Cross Rhodes and the Final Cut to secure the victory. ##
WINNER: Dustin Rhodes ##
Bullet Club Gold gathered backstage, observing how people had grown comfortable in the absence of the Collision Cowboys who usually kept things in order. They acknowledged and accepted the challenge from the Mogul Embassy for Dynamite.##
The camera then shifted to Hook entering the building.##
In another segment, Dustin Rhodes was interviewed backstage by Renee Paquette. Their conversation was abruptly interrupted by Christian Cage and The Patriarchy. Cage asserted that anyone who considered Adam Copeland a friend was an enemy of his. Rhodes, in response, challenged Cage to a TNT Title match on Dynamite. Cage retorted that it was a nice dream, adding that it would have been even nicer if Dustin's father were alive to witness it. Cage pointed out that while everyone referred to Dustin's father as a legend, the same term wasn't commonly used for Dustin himself. Unfazed, Dustin told Cage to get ready for the challenge. ##
Hangman Adam Page vs JD Drake (w/ Anthony Henry) ##
Page delivered relentless shots to Drake as Tony Schiavone announced that Hook had requested a match for tonight, leading up to his World Title match on Dynamite. Both competitors traded forearms in the corner, and Page followed up with ten punches in the corner. He executed a moonsault on a standing Drake, followed by a running Shooting Star Press for a close nearfall. Page dropkicked Drake off the apron into Henry, but Henry managed to pull Drake out of harm's way, avoiding a dive. Drake then struck Page with a rebound forearm, leading to a commercial break. ##
Post-commercial break, Henry hit a leg lariat on Page on the floor while Drake distracted the referee. Page, in a strategic move, low-bridged Drake to the apron, dropkicked him down, and executed a tope. Returning to the ring, Page connected with a high crossbody for another nearfall. He unleashed multiple clotheslines on Drake before hitting a Death Valley Driver for yet another nearfall. Although Page couldn't execute the Deadeye, he managed to back body drop Drake up and over. ##
Page took a swing at Henry on the apron, but it resulted in Drake hitting a Magnum-style belly-to-belly on Page. Drake followed up with a cannonball in the corner, but Page evaded the moonsault that followed. Page then dropped the interfering Henry with a moonsault off the apron before sealing the deal with the Buckshot Lariat for the victory. ##

Purrazzo countered a strike from Velvet into a rapid Koji clutch, which Velvet escaped using a pin reversal. ##
Velvet targeted Purrazzo's arm, snapping it over the ropes before continuing to focus on it. She delivered body shots to Purrazzo, who responded by trading boots with Velvet.
