Actually, last time they collided was around the Crisis time in the Black Vengeance arc... The JSA came to his country, Black Adam was beasting them, CM hit him from behind, BA grabbed him and handled him too, then Powergirl blindsides him next, and then he beasted her too.
In another fight, he beats up Captain Marvel, and at the end of the fight, CM turns into Bill Batson and BA knocks him out.
In another fight, when Black Adam was having at it with Adam Smasher, the entire JSA, and Captain Marvel pretty much got their asses kicked all at once.
Doesn't seem terribly equal to me, when CM needs like 8 other guys and still can't keep BA down.
If Captain Marvel could have simply wrestled Black Adam to a stalemate then WW3 wouldn't have went down like it did.

I believe he was flying towards Superman at a high speed, suddenly lost his powers for some reason and then broke his neck colliding with Kal's buns of steel.
CM and BA are equals. BA is just a better fighter and more ruthless. Right now BA is just making up for all that embarrassment from the Power of Shazam series. God damn, he was a goof back then.
I know they're meant to be in the same league, but when one guy keeps coming up with the upperhand, even when his 'equal' has the help of one of the greatest superteams of all time, then it doesn't seem to be equal at all. Black Adam has been consistantly more impressive for a long time now, and Billy just hasn't seemed up to the task of keeping him in check like old times.

Trials of Shazam is a mixed bag like all Winick work. Taking away the Marvel's magic word....is supremely stupid. I'm just waiting to find out Mary Marvel is an HIV positive lesbian.
There isn't much to explain. OB1 just made the mistake of assuming that the OYL comics were also taking place in real time just like 52. "One Year Later" started a year ago for us, yes, but in the DCU it could have only been a month or so.
