Capital Collision was a professional wrestling event produced by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). It took place on April 16, 2023, at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Washington, D.C.[2][3] Wrestlers from NJPW's U.S. partner promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Impact Wrestling appeared on the card. This was the second event to be held under the Capital Collision name.
Storylines[edit]
Capital Collision featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]
Aftermath[edit]
On the following day, NJPW suspended Juice Robinson for attacking Fred Rosser before the match which caused a no contest. As the result of the suspension, Rosser was made as Robinson's replacement in the number one contender tournament for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship which Robinson was scheduled to face Lance Archer at Collision in Philadelphia, later that day.[5] Archer would defeat Rosser to advance to the finals and face the winner of Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Will Ospreay at Dominion 6.4 at Osaka-jo Hall.[6]
During the main event, Tanahashi suffered a rib injury which resulted in Tanahashi being removed from Collision In Philadelphia's card as he was scheduled to team up with Chaos's Tomohiro Ishii and Lio Rush and Lio Rush to take on United Empire's Aussie Open and TJP.[7]
