Are you talking about particle collisions [something a la LHC]? Case yes, if the energy density is enough the spacetime will be curved and a [short-lived] black hole will form.

Now, the relativistic mass of a moving particle/object is a measurement effect - observer dependent. It does not 'add' mass to a particle in its own frame.
