[6.0] "Honestly, not a great Collision at all. Usually is the below average show, and sadly showed tonight. The Trios match was pretty mid, not bad, but not a good match [6/10]. The Dezmond Xavier match was my personal favorite, with some really good in-ring work [8/10]. The Jericho match was nonsensical and not a good match by any means [4/10]. I also really liked the Main Event, which had the best storytelling, with some decent wrestling, which also got a [8/10] for me. So overall, a mid show from Collision. It also didn't really have the main storyline progress like Dynamite does."

[6.0] "Collision's pre-show before a pay-per-view event is usually disappointing. The card planning wasn't the best. The World Trios Championship match was, once again, insubstantial and uninteresting, and The Rascalz had their usual title match on Collision, which is starting to get tiresome. Chris Jericho defeated the ever-reliable JD Drake in a tough but acceptable match, considering his age. Persephone's CMLL Women's Championship was on the line, but the match didn't grab my attention. The same goes for Jake Doyle vs. Adam Priest. All matches that are there to please the audience but aren't particularly entertaining. The main event was somewhat more decent, although it's strange to see Athena and Mercedes teaming up. It's odd that they opted for a heel Mercedes instead of a redemption path to the title, which makes me suspect that unexpected things are about to happen."

[7.0] "Good episode that finished setting up Forbidden Door without being a must see show. The three title matches were all good, even though the winner wasn't in doubt in any of them. The main event was fantastic and gave us a glimpse of what was to come between Mercedes and Maya. Doyle and Priest was fun as Adam has had great matches against some of the best in the world recently. Worst part of the show was Jericho and JD Drake, pretty sure I'm in the majority with not wanting Jericho on my TV in 2026. The roster is too stacked and full of talent for this over the hill jackass to still be getting TV time."

[7.0] "Cool show. Best match was Doyle vs. Priest. Performer of the night was Mistico. Athena > Mone just sayin."

[9.0] "A fun Collision with a great main event, fun opener and two really good matches in the middle with Kevin Knight/Dezmond Xavier and Billie Starkz/Persephone. Rest of the show was just kinda there, but the good stuff was really good."

[8.0] "Awesome Collision in-ring wise, and pretty solid as a go home for Forbidden Door, adding on some great story for the 2 womens matches, and just some good in ring action, just a darn good show you know? What I want out of collision, nice to see Jake Doyle aswell get some great work."

[3.0] "This was an episode of Collision that featured no quality matches or significant angles, and which one could easily skip without feeling like they had missed anything. It is quite disappointing, and the few redeeming qualities of the main event are not enough to save this mediocre episode. Match quality: 2.5/6.5. Angles and non-match segments: 1/3.5. Bonus/penalty: none. Total: 3.5/10. Show watched on MyAEW."

[8.0] "Really solid collision show with some wrestlers who really benefit from being on AEW TV. Good angles as well"

[6.0] "This kinda got better as the show went on. Opener took some time to get the crowd going but eventually did. Matches involving the DCF members were alright, CMLL title match was rough but not awful and the squashes should've played out faster. Ricochet had a bizarre segment but all the other talking bits and video packages were actually pretty solid, even Skye Blue sounded confident live. Highlight was easily the main event and everyone looked impressive there. Idk if this was better than dynamite, but I came out of it feeling better."
