From Kofi Kingston: "Long post ahead. Y'all that don't like to read, this ain't for you lol. Alabama folks are so kind. Earlier today instead of waiting 15 min for an Uber to take me to the YMCA Shades Valley to workout, I opted to take one of those electric street scooters. Big mistake. Half the trip was uphill and on semi highway roads! And I was wearing my air cast walking boot! I got within a mile of the @BirminghamYMCA, and the scooter wouldn't go further for some reason. Also, the Y was out of the drop off range, so I then had to call an Uber anyway, lol. 30 min later after 2 others canceled, one finally came to pick me up. I had him stop at target... I needed lotion (yes I was still ashy from this morning). Finally got to the Y and the woman at the desk told me that in order to buy a guest pass, a member had to bring you as a guest... 'but you can be my guest,' she said. And she vouched for me to workout. So kind of her to do for a stranger. I really wanted to move around a bit before I'm unable to do so after surgery tomorrow. After the gym, I stopped at a stir fry spot called 'Yummefy'. Tons of vegan options. The maps app said they were closed, but I was in luck! Nice lady gave me the best recommendations... I ordered all of them! When I got my food, I went to inform the lady that the maps app said they were closed and they should probably fix their hours. She said, 'oh we are closed. We just made that food for you anyway.' My jaw dropped in disbelief. It was 15 minutes past the closing time! I thanked her profusely. So kind of her to go out of her way so that I could eat. Anyway, a long message that can be summed up by saying that I am very grateful for the people I've come across here in Birmingham today. Tomorrow, we march forward and into the hands of the best in the world at what he does! Let's get this ankle right!"

As Capital Collision is now under one month away, the first three bouts to hit Washington DC's Sports and Entertainment Arena have been made official. With the involvement of Kazuchika Okada, El Desperado, Tetsuya Naito, Hiromu Takahashi and more besides still to come, the first three bouts revealed are as follows:

Official for DC, Fred Rosser goes one on one with Juice Robinson. At Battle in the Valley in February, Fred Rosser's STRONG Openweight Championship reign came to an end opposite KENTA, but it was the presence of 'Rock Hard' Robinson that was the deciding factor. A loaded fist to the face from Robinson to Rosser out of sight of the referee was what would lead to KENTA landing Go2Sleep to capture the STRONG gold, something Rosser is not going to forgive.

It was one year ago at Capital Collision that Robinson made his in ring debut as a member of BULLET CLUB, and much has changed in the intervening 11 months; as the group's tenth anniversary approaches, a Juice win could set him back on a path to championship success in NJPW, ROH or AEW. Meanwhile, Rosser's insurmountable work ethic has been 100% devoted to getting revenge on Juice for his San Jose interference, and the Suntan Superman will stop at nothing to gain victory before pursuing KENTA once more.

Ten man action sees CMLL rivals Rocky Romero and Volador Jr. lead their own all star teams. Rocky's CHAOS mates Tomohiro Ishii and hometown hero Lio Rush are joined by LA Dojo alumni Clark Connors and the DKC, while Volador selects KUSHIDA, Kevin Knight, IMPACT's mike Bailey and the returning Gabriel Kidd. Rocky and Volador's issues seem to show no signs of cooling down, and the result will be an intense ten man battle following up on Battle in the Valley's spectacular card opener.

Before the main card gets started on Capital Collision, a special kickoff tag match will see Shane Haste and Bad Dude Tito of TMDK face the West Coast Wrecking Crew. At Battle in the Valley, Royce Isaacs and Jorel Nelson battled legendary tag team the Motor City Machineguns for the STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championships, and after coming up short now seek to work their way back to the top of the tag mountain. Their obstacles this night will be Shane Haste and Bad Dude Tito, who two weeks removed from Multiverse United in LA, could be bringing IMPACT Tag Team gold to Washington DC. That might make TMDK even more enticing targets for WCWC.

Saraya legitimately got fined by AEW for saying "twat" on TV but it wasn't so much the curse itself as the fact she did it without the segment's producer knowing she was going to do it. (WO)
