Killer Kelly VS Charlie Morgan!

The new NXT Tag Team Champions feel so great after their victory. The moment was incredible. Last year’s inaugural UK Championship Tournament was great for them to celebrate Bate’s victory, but now they get to celebrate as a team. They’ve been a team for almost five years and won titles everywhere else, and are very proud to add these to the list. Is this only the beginning for Bate & Seven in NXT UK?

 

Aleister Black & Ricochet VS Velveteen Dream & EC3!

If Ricochet VS Velveteen 1v1 at TakeOver: Chicago II was the #OneAndOnlyDream match, then call this tag match the #OneAndOnlyEmbodimentoftheTopOnePercentDream match. The NXT Champion joins forces with the King of Flight, but will they be able to work together against two top contenders in their own right?

In which case, that’s why Toni will become the new NXT Women’s Champion.

 

NXT Women’s Championship: Shayna Baszler VS Toni Storm!

Dunne may only be the second UK Champion, but he’s the longest reinging champion. Will that long reign continue through tonight? Or will Gibson shock the world?

Once again, the introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we have our main event! Fans already rally as the two stare down. Gibson and Dunne tie up, push against each other, and Dunne gets the wristlock. Dunne brings Gibson’s arm around, but Gibson blocks the takedown. But Dunne bends the fingers and brings Gibson down to the mat. Dunne targets specific fingers, then rams them into the mat. Dunne dares the “Scouse Bastard” to get up and bring the fight. Gibson gets up and circles with Dunne again. They tie up, and Gibson goes after the mouth and nose. Gibson puts Dunne into the wristlock, then hammerlock. Dunne knows that move and avoids the stomp. Fans troll Gibson with more singing, but Gibson does his best to tune it out. He ties up with Dunne again, and gets a headlock.

Dunne powers out, things speed up, and Dunne clobbers Gibson! Gibson gets to the apron, but Dunne follows. Dunne grabs Gibson but Gibson elbows free. Only for Dunne to kick that arm out! Dunne drags Gibson up by his face, but Gibson trips Dunne! Gibson then brings Dunne around, to drive the keylock into the barrier! The count rises, but Gibson can’t win that way if he wants the title. Gibson puts Dunne in the ring, and drives him down with a hammerlock back suplex. Gibson doesn’t let up, either, as he hammers away. Fans boo but Dunne gets free for a heel hook. Gibson grinds his forearms into Dunne, covers, TWO, but grabs the wrist on the far side.

Gibson pulls on the arm while Dunne resists. Dunne grabs at Gibson’s face! Dunne defends from the mat and Gibson works on an opening. Gibson gets into the headlock, then brings Dunne up to throw him overhead with the straight arm suplex! Fans boo while Gibson blows a kiss. Gibson slaps Dunne, so Dunne slaps back! Gibson gets a leg and then clobbers Dunne again. Cover, TWO. Gibson goes for a leg then shifts to an armlock. Fans rally for Dunne while he endures the chinbar. They stand up, but Gibson knees low. Gibson elbows, but fans still taunt him. Gibson goes to throat chop, but Dunne blocks! Dunne headbutts Gibson!

Both men go down, but Dunne sits up first. Dunne grins as he waits for Gibson. Dunne throws fast hands but Gibson hits back, only to get blasted! The fans rally while Dunne whips Gibson. Gibson reverses but Dunne goes up and over to then enziguri Gibson! Dunne drags Gibson out, X-Plex! Cover, TWO! Dunne is a bit surprised, but he’s not frustrated or worried just yet. He stalks Gibson to the ropes, brings him up, but Gibson standing switches. Gibson suplexes but Dunne lands on his feet to then buzzsaw kick Gibson in the head! Dunne hops up, hoverboard wristlock! Gibson grabs Dunne’s hair, powers through, but Dunne slips out of Helter Skelter to double stomp Gibson’s face! Dunne crawls but Gibson rolls away. Gibson is safe on the apron, for now.

Fans chant “British Wrestling!” and “UK NXT! UK NXT!” whil Dunne stands. Dunne builds speed, jumps up, and from the outside, SUPER Moonsault! It connects with an inverted DDT! Both men crawl back to the ring, Gibson gets in first. But Dunne has his foot, and twists it with a toehold! Gibson shouts and yells while Dunne drags him out. But Gibson throws Dunne with a hammerlock into steel steps! Fans rally for Dunne but Gibson crawls up to refresh the count. Gibson goes back to Dunne, drags him up, and lifts, but Dunne gets the hoverboard! Dunne then X-Plexes Gibson on the ramp! Gibson shouts in such pain while fans lose their minds. A 10 count begins while Dunne and Gibson crawl. Dunne and Gibson both reach the ring, and beat the count at 9.5!

Gibson seems almost shocked, he was perhaps okay with this ending. Dunne drags Gibson up by his ear, but Gibson gets around to rabbit punch Dunne! Dunne crawls to a rope, but Gibson is on him with body shots. Gibson fires off from both sides, but backs off at the ref’s count. He comes back for more, but backs off again. Dunne just gets mad as Gibson comes back for a third go. The referee stops Gibson, he warns this could get him disqualified. Dunne stands, puts his mouth guard in, and dares Gibson to throw hands. But it’s Dunne who fires off instead! Dunne is all fired up, but Gibson gives him a lung blower! Yet Dunne’s back up to enziguri Gibson! Dunne runs, but into a big lariat. Gibson is up, but he runs into a lariat!

Fans are thunderous while the referee counts again. Both men slowly rise, and each grab a wrist. Dunne bends Gibson’s fingers but Gibson bends Dunne’s fingers. Dunne headbutts, but Gibson headbutts. They go back and forth, then fast and furious! They collapse, but no one can cover. Gibson rises first, but he won’t end this so easily. But Dunne has the fingers! Dunne stands, ducks the punch, to then shove and German Suplex on the rebound! Pumphandle, Bitter End!! Cover, TWO!? How?! How does Gibson survive?!

Gibson and Dunne roll away towards opposite ends. Dunne grimaces while he and Gibson stand. He dares Gibson to bring it, but Gibson would rather not. Dunne walks into an enziguri, then Gibson hops up for a FLYING Ticket to Ride lung blower! Cover, TWO!! SHANKLY GATES!! Gibson has his ace hold on! It’s won him every match so far! But Dunne gets to ropes for the break!

Gibson catches his breath and drags Dunne up, but Dunne rocks him with a forearm. Dunne climbs up to join Gibson, prepares something, but it’s a SUPER Helter Skelter! Cover, TWO!! This is superhuman! But, Shankly Gates again! Fans boo as Dunne endures. They don’t want a new champion if it’s Gibson. Dunne reaches but Gibson turns him away from ropes. Dunne keeps enduring, reaching, and gets another ropebreak! The fans applaud this truly epic effort, because “This is Awesome!”

Gibson stands first and boots away on Dunne at the ropes. He backs off and embraces the heat before giving even more. Dunne is dazed, but Gibson won’t stop. He slaps Dunne to make sure he knows who the true number one in the UK is. But Dunne takes that finger, and some more, and SNAP! Gibson manages to kick back, then hop up, but flies into a powerful right! Dunne gets the BITTER END! Cover, Dunne wins!!

Winner: Pete Dunne, by pinfall; still WWE United Kingdom Champion

The Bruiserweight’s reign continues! His legend grows with every defense, and already looks to be the best WWE UK Championship reign of all time. Will anyone ever dethrone Dunne?

Pete Dunne celebrates, but not just alone. The rest of the WWE/NXT UK Division joins him at the stage, as do GM Johnny Saint and COO Triple H! HHH raises Dunne’s hand, making it official. With Mustache Mountain now the NXT Tag Team Champions and Pete Dunne still your WWE UK Champion, it’s clear: “This is the next chapter in the rich history of UK professional wrestling. This is your time! This is your brand! And We Are NXT!”

 

 

My Thoughts:

Wow! Just when it seemed like WWE/NXT UK couldn’t outdo themselves from the other day, they find a way to do it. A lot of it is thanks to incorporating NXT USA into the night, but it makes for amazing, incredible and instant-classic crossover. While WWE self-spoiled the opening match, watching Mustache Mountain win those NXT Tag Team Championships was must-see. It sounds like Mustache Mountain will get a run with those up until NXT UK introduces their titles, and those titles will probably go to the Coffey Brothers first anyway. They make a confusing yet devastating move after that incredible Fatal 4, establishing themselves quickly as monster Heels on an Authors of Pain level. As for Noam Dar, that is a great moment for him, Dar VS Dunne down the line is going to be fun.

The only weak point of the night was early, with Killer Kelly VS Charlie Morgan. Charlie in both name and look is basically British Liv Morgan, and her match with Kelly wasn’t as crisp as it could be. But hey, the UK Women’s Division needs a midcard. Toni VS Shayna was amazing, but it was clear Shayna wasn’t going to lose just yet. The one to defeat Shayna is going to be an NXT USA female superstar, like Kairi Sane or Dakota Kai. But again, Toni Storm is a shoe-in for the NXT UK Women’s Championship. Wolfgang did great against Adam Cole, but just as the WWE UK Championship did not change hands while being defended in NXT USA, there’s no way the North American Championship is changing hands on a UK program.

That Aleister-Ricochet VS EC3-Dream tag match was also great, it was just so much of what all four men do best. Great chemistry between the Faces and for a time between the Heels. But because of being a Heel, Dream is more focused on himself than on winning, he lets EC3 take the hit. This doesn’t really hurt any of them in the standings, and the tease of Aleister VS Ricochet with that moment with the belt is great. I would love for Ricochet VS EC3 to determine the new #1 contender who then faces Aleister at the next TakeOver. Then wow, whoa, holy crap, that main event. Dunne VS Gibson surpassed expectations based on the tournament finals, even with Dunne obviously set to retain. The spin-off brand is already on par with NXT, and that’s a wonderful thing.

My Score: 9.5/10

Zero Hour – Anna Jay VS Deonna Purrazzo w/ Taya Valkyrie!

The Queenslayer was offered help against Mariah May by The Vendetta but she declined, so this is the payback. Will the Virtuosa handle business? Or will Anna still become the Star of the Show?

The bell rings but Taya distracts Anna. Anna takes a swipe but Deonna kicks low. Deonna headlocks,. Anna powers out, but Deonna RAMS her! Anna stays up, slips around, and waistlocks. Deonna switches, they go to ropes, and Anna bucks the O’Conner! Anna runs Deonna over, keeps moving, then whips. Anna blows past Deonna, sunset flips, TWO!

Anna stays on Deonna with another whip, but Deonna reverses.

Anna slips to the apron, then ROCKS Deonna! Deonna comes back but into a HEEL KICK! Anna goes up a corner but Taya anchors her! Deonna distracts the ref, then she BOOTS Anna! The fans boo but Taya just takes a bow. Deonna “kicks dirt” at Anna, then drags her up. Deonna short arm LARIATS, then she stands on Anna’s face! The ref counts, Deonna steps off, and Deonna storms back up on Anna. Deonna drags Anna up, throat chops her, and Anna goes to a corner. Deonna LARIATS in the corner, LARIATS again, then short arm LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Anna stays in this but Deonna stays focused.

Deonna paces around, drops a knee on Anna, then clamps on a straitjacket stretch. Anna endures, even as Deonna KNEES her in the back! Deonna bends Anna back but Anna still endures. Anna fights up, snapmares free, but Deonna BOOTS her back! Then BOOTS again! Anna SUPERKICKS! But Deonna hits a FLATLINER, into a KOJI KLUTCH! Anna stacks Deonna, TWO! Anna is free to SUPERKICK Deonna down! Both women are down and the fans fire up! Anna and Deonna slowly rise while Taya pounds the apron. The fans rally up and Anna crawls over to Deonna. Deonna grabs at Anna first, and she fires a forearm!

Anna fires a forearm back, but Deonna hits Anna again! The shots go back and forth, the fans dueling, and Anna gets the edge! Anna backs Deonna down, whips, but Deonna reverses, only for Anna to FLYING FOREARM! And FLYING FOREARM again! Anna keeps moving to SHOTGUN Deonna! The fans are torn as Anna runs up on the hometown girl. Forearm SMASH, and Anna puts Deonna up top! DANGEROUS JAY KICK, and then the ICONOCLASM! Cover, TWO! Deonna survives but Anna drags her up. Anna clamps on the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Deonna endures, pries free, and arm-drags Anna!

Deonna kicks low, runs, and KNEE LIFTS into the RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Roll and FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Anna endures, flails and moves around, and kicks her way to a ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Deonna holds until 4, and Taya coaches Deonna. Deonna slashes her throat, reels Anna in, but Anna fights the Gotch lift! Anna slips around, Deonna wrenches and wrangles, but Anna rolls free! Anna BOOTS from the corner, goes to the apron, and she puts Deonna in ropes! HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER! But Taya takes a swing! Anna dodges, but Taya SPEARS Anna!! The ref saw that and he EJECTS Taya!

Deonna is upset, but better than being disqualified! Taya tells fans to shut up as they sing “Hey hey hey! Goodbye~!” Deonna drags Anna up, but Anna SLAPS Deonna! Deonna is pissed, and she grabs that arm! FUJIWARA!! Deonna pushes on that arm, but Anna uses it to roll Deonna up! ANNA WINS!

Winner: Anna Jay, by pinfall

Deonna is furious, but maybe she should’ve let the ref throw this out. In the end, Anna gets a real win over Deonna, will this help her get back towards some title scene?

 

Backstage interview with Billie Starkz.

Lexy Nair is with her ROH Minion buddy, and notes that Billie is the first ROH woman entered in the first ever WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup! Billie, what an opportunity, how are you feeling? She is excited! This is the second chance she’s been waiting for, and- Red Velvet steps in to say more like NO chance. Because see, Velvet is also in that match, and well, she already beat Billie. So her odds are looking really good. But then in steps Leyla Hirsch. And she says lucky for them both, because Leyla’s in this! Leyla beat Velvet once, and just looking at Billie, Leyla knows she can beat her.

Oh but then in steps the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena! The Minion Overlord defends her bestie and Billie, and says it is finally time for the Athena World Tour! She is the fourth participant, even though, why does she have to qualify for HER show? Athena has beaten Velvet, she’s beaten “Small fry” Leyla, and well… Billie Goat, we all know Athena dog walked her! Velvet says Athena shouldn’t talk to Billie like that. Billie says “Cupcake” doesn’t need to defend her. Things are getting tense already, who wins their way into WrestleDynasty’s massive crossover match?

 

Backstage interview with QT Marshall.

Lexy is now with QT and says later int he Zero Hour, it is QT VS Big Boom AJ. QT took AJ out last night after the weigh-in, will it be the same here tonight? QT wants Lexy to remember, pronounce it “Mar-shall.” And yes, in QT’s home state of New Jersey, the best part will be QT remembering why he left. It’s a dump! Especially Newark! But AJ is also from New Jersey, and he properly represents this dump. Whether AJ is on the Tonight Show, on TikTok, or here in AEW, he is the epitome of someone from The Garden State: an embarrassment! He’s worse than Bruce Springsteen himself!

And tonight, in a sold out crowd that QT drew all himself, it will be like going to his high school reunion and showing how he is more successful than everyone else. And he’ll do that by walking to the ring, staring down AJ, and bringing the doom! Will QT Marshall make himself the boss of the Zero Hour? Or will it be a BOOM for all of New Jersey when QT loses?

 

New Year’s Day is a NEW ERA for AEW!

Starting Wednesday, January 1st, 2025, AEW Dynamite will be SIMULCAST on Max! And even bigger, it is the return of Fight for the Fallen! All proceeds go to helping victims of Hurricane Helene in Ashville, North Carolina.

 

Zero Hour – Fatal 4 Way: Dante Martin VS The Beast Mortos VS Komander VS Buddy Matthews!

Now this is going to be a fast ‘n’ furious match! Angel Dorado, the menacing minotaur, the Commander of Space and the Aussie Juggernaut are all fighting for opportunity, who makes that greater impact?

World Tag League 2024 B Block: Taichi & Taka Michinoku VS EVIL & Ren Narita!

The Holy Emperor & Blue Playmaker opened this tournament with the biggest win possible when they beat the current IWGP Tag Team Champions, Great-O-Khan & Henare. Will they build upon that momentum in round 2? Or will they be cheated by the King of Darkness & Souled Out Son of Strong Style?

Evil & Narita taunt Taichi & Taka from outside of the ring, keeping their attention as they go around towards commentary. But this is all so Dick Togo can come running in from the ramp! Dick CLOBBERS Taichi, then he TOSSES Taka! The fans boo but what did they expect from The House of Torture? Evil whips Taka into railing, and then brings him out into No Man’s Land! Evil has fans move aside so he can BOWL Taka into chairs! Not even close to a strike, but Evil just CHOKES Taka with a chair! Narita SMACKS Taichi off chairs in the timekeeper’s area, and the ref reprimands The House!

Evil lets off of Taka and drags him up. Now Narita brings Taichi into the crowd in some other section. Evil puts Taka in the ring while Narita SMACKS Taichi off chairs. The bell rings to get this on record, but Evil stands on Taka’s face! Narita BOWLS Taichi into chairs, only doing a little better than Evil. Evil CLUBS Taka and taunts him while Narita CHOKES Taichi! The ref reprimands from afar but does his best to watch Evil. Evil stomps Taka to a corner, then drags him out. Evil stomps away on a leg, drops an elbow on the knee, then covers. TWO, so Evil covers again! TWO, and Evil covers again! TWO, and Evil tries a full mounted cover! TWO!!

The fans cheer but Evil wants a prawn hold cover! TWO!! Taka escapes five consecutive pins and Evil is frustrated. Taka crawls for his corner but Taichi’s still in the crowd. Wait, he storms back to ringside, with a chair! The ref stops Taichi from going after Narita, and Evil holds Taka’s hand out mockingly. The ref has to stop Taichi from storming into the ring now, and that lets Evil CLAW Taka’s eyes! Evil drags Taka up, tags in Narita, and Narita CLUBS Taka’s arm. Narita wrenches the arm, YANKS it, YANKS it again, and then taunts Taichi before he YANKS the arm again. Narita wrenches to an ELBOW BREAKER!

Narita bumps Taka off buckles then tags Evil. Evil swings around the House of Torture shirt, and he CHOKES Taka with it! The ref again keeps Taichi back, meaning Taka suffers for it! Evil then throws the shirt at Taichi! Taichi catches the shirt and he storms in to throw it back! The ref stops Taichi but Taichi shoves him down! Taichi attacks Evil but Evil & Narita mug Taichi! They toss Taichi out then go back to the ref. Evil tells the ref to do better, then Evil tags Narita. Narita has Taka under the ropes, for the ROPE GUILLOTINE! Taka sputters, the ref reprimands, but Narita just drags Taka back up.

Narita scrapes Taka’s face along the ropes! The ref reprimands, Narita pushes Taka down, and then Narita argues with the ref. Narita whips Taka to ropes, ELBOWS him down, then covers, TWO! Narita clamps onto Taka’s arm and drags him up. Narita brings Taka over, Evil tags in, and Evil CLUBS Taka on the back. Evil sends Taka out, then distracts the ref.

World Tag League 2024 B Block: Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi VS Toru Yano & Boltin Oleg!

The Uncontrollable Charisma & Ticking Timebomb took down The Mighty to start this tournament while The Joker & The Rook were cheated by the King of Darkness. Will Naito & Hiromu just add on with another win? Or can Yano & Oleg put the ungovernable behind BARS?

To keep calm during LIJ’s antics, Yano sits at the center of the ring, cross legged, as if to meditate. But it doesn’t really work as Hiromu walks back up the ramp to stand with Naito. Yano loses his cool, shouts at Naito & Hiromu to hurry up, but LIJ take little steps down the ramp. They make it seem like they’re going fast, and Hiromu even does little circles to take longer. Yano is beside himself and this isn’t even a match yet. Red Shoes also insists, so LIJ finally walk normally again. But even then, they take their time getting into the ring. Naito taps the bell, and the introductions finally happen.

Naito continues to troll Yano even as he goes up the ring steps. And then down the steps as Yano gets closer. Red Shoes has Yano back off, and Hiromu insists Yano give Naito space. Yano’s impatience continues to get the better of him, but finally he stays back long enough for Naito to step inside. Then there’s still the matter of his entrance attire… Yano tells Naito to hurry up already but Naito does as Naito does. Hiromu even reclines back while he waits. Yano is just further annoyed, but his complaints do nothing but entertain the fans. Naito finally puts the pants aside, and Yano says okay, let’s get going!

Yano starts, LIJ fist bumps, and Naito pretends to be unsure who Yano wants. Hiromu and Naito each insist, Yano says it doesn’t matter, just hurry! Naito starts, the bell rings, and then Naito tags out to Hiromu. The fans cheer, Yano is further annoyed, so Yano tags Oleg! The fans cheer and Hiromu says hold on, and he tags in Naito. Naito wants Yano, and Hiromu even gets fans to cheer, but  Yano says no. Naito and Oleg circle, but Naito SPITS at Yano! Yano is upset again but he stays put. Naito and Oleg approach, but then Naito dodges Oleg to BLAST Yano off the apron! The fans cheer, Yano is upset, and now he wants in!

Oleg tags Yano, but Naito tags out to Hiromu! The fans cheer as the trolling continues, and Hiromu says he is Yano’s opponent now. They approach, Yano dodges, but Naito avoids Yano’s attack! Hiromu CLUBS Yano, then BLASTS Oleg! The fans cheer and Hiromu stomps Yano. Naito joins in to double whip Yano, but Yano grabs ropes. Oleg runs in to DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE LIJ! The fans fire up and Yano says good job! Oleg stomps Naito out of the ring, and Yano unties a buckle pad! Red Shoes reprimands but Yano takes a swing on Hiromu! Hiromu dodges, Red Shoes grabs the pad, but Yano SHOVES Red Shoes down!

Hiromu drop toeholds Yano down! Then he basement dropkicks! The fans rally up and Hiromu paces around Yano. Hiromu stomps Yano, then slides out to go after Oleg! Hiromu kicks Oleg, SHOVES him into railing, then hurries into the ring. Hiromu has the buckle pad and he beats Yano with it! The fans cheer but Red Shoes is confused as to how this happened! Hiromu says no, it’s okay, it’s just a pad. Tag to Naito and Hiromu “apologizes” to Red Shoes, but now Naito beats Yano down with the pad! Red Shoes reprimands but Hiromu & Naito double whip Yano, to DOUBLE PAD LINE! Hiromu then puts the pad aside while Naito kicks Yano.

Naito goes to the corner, hops up, and he has the buckle pad. Hiromu distracts Red Shoes from the DIVING PAD ATTACK! Cover, but Red Shoes has to put the pad aside. Hiromu counts, TWO! Red Shoes says that wouldn’t count anyway! Naito puts on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Yano endures but Hiromu runs and runs and builds up speed, to BLAST Oleg! Naito grinds Yano down but Yano scoots back to the ROPEBREAK! Red Shoes counts, Naito lets go and tags Hiromu. Naito brings Yano up and LIJ double whips Yano to ropes. They DOUBLE LARIAT, then DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! Cover, TWO!

Hiromu looms over Yano and taunts him. The fans rally, Hiromu drags Yano up, but Yano pulls hair! Red Shoes reprimands, but then Hiromu pulls hair! So Yano uses both hands! Hiromu uses both hands! Red shoes counts, both men let go at 4! Hiromu kicks and whips, but Yano reverses to THROW Hiromu down! The fans rally, Yano crawls, hot tag to Oleg! Oleg CLOBBERS Hiromu! Naito gets away but Oleg goes back to Hiromu! Oleg deadlifts Hiromu, but Naito runs in and CLUBS Oleg on the back! LIJ double whips Oleg, but Oleg breaks the line! Hiromu shoves Naito aside, dodges Oleg, then he sends Naito into Oleg!

Hiromu picks Naito up to make him RA- NO, Oleg stops the assisted rana, to Shake, Rattle and- NO, Hiromu dropkicks a leg! Oleg lets Naito go as he hobbles, and Hiromu runs to CROSSBODY! But Oleg catches Hiromu! Shake, Rattle, and THROW! And a kip up, too! The fans fire up with Oleg, and Oleg runs corner to corner at Hiromu for a SPLASH! Those bare buckles hurt, but then so does the scoop SLAM! Oleg runs to SPLASH DOWN! Cover, TWO! The fans rally up, Oleg fireman’s carries Hiromu, but Hiromu fights free! Oleg elbows Hiromu away, CHOPS him to a corner, and then scoops Hiromu to SLAM him!

Hiromu is in the drop zone, Oleg goes up and up to VADER BOMB! Cover, TWO! The fans cheer but Oleg rolling deadlifts Hiromu! Fireman’s carry and- NO, Hiromu rolls with the crucifix takedown! Ghost pin, TWO! Both men  stagger up and Hiromu SUPERKICKS! Oleg roars, Hiromu dodges and CROSSBODIES! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Oleg and Hiromu crawl, hot tag to Yano! Yano runs to BLAST Naito! Yano goes to Hiromu and brings him up. Hiromu CHOPS! But then Yano dodges to clinch and BELLY2BELLY! Yano then drags Hiromu around, and CATAPULTS him to Oleg! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Yano covers, TWO!!

The fans fire up as Hiromu survives! Yano huffs ‘n’ puffs and he drags Hiromu up. Yano pops Hiromu up, but Hiromu fights to hit a DDT! Naito sends Oleg into railing! Hiromu hot tags Naito in! The fans rally up as Naito stands Yano up for those heavy elbows! Naito elbows Yano again and again, then puts him in a corner. Naito climbs up, reels Yano in, and hits ESPERANZA! A rough roll but Naito is back up. Yano staggers, but he dodges Naito to push him down! M U! TWO!! Yano hits a fireman’s carry takeover, into M U 3! TWO!! Yano shoves Red Shoes, but Naito atomic drops and ENZIGIRIS!

Hiromu SUPERKICKS Yano, BLASTS Oleg, then helps Naito with the TORNADO DDT!! Hiromu goes to the apron and CROSSBODIES, but Oleg catches him! Oleg SLAMS Hiromu down while Naito brings Yano up. Naito wrenches, but Oleg runs in and SHOTGUNS Naito down! Oleg hauls Naito up, fireman’s carries, but Hiromu SUPERKICKS! Hiromu runs, but into a POP-UP fireman’s carry! Naito runs at Oleg but Oleg THROWS Hiromu at him! LIJ topples over, Yano gets in there to cover them both! Oleg adds on, too! OLEG & YANO WIN!!

Winners: Toru Yano & Boltin Oleg, by pinfall (gain 2 points; Naito & Hiromu earn 0)

It was a rather wild ending, but the NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Champions come out on top! Hiromu tries to understand how that happened, but Naito brushes it off. Will LIJ just have to be ready for anything if they wanna win WTL?

As for Yano & Oleg, Yano gets the mic to say, “Hey, everyone, my apologies. Sorry to Naito and Hiromu, and to all the fans here because I knew you were supporting Naito. So again, I’m sorry, I didn’t read the room.” The fans applaud, they aren’t really upset. Yano says it’s rare, though, isn’t it? That he’d win in the main event? But Yano vows that whether on accident or on purpose, Yano & Oleg will win the whole tournament! No more need to read the room! This Toru Yano, and this Boltin Oleg, or perhaps “Yano Boltin” for short. They will win the championships!

Yano says they’ll test this out. He’ll have Oleg say more than just “Hai” and we’ll chant “Yano Boltin.” Is everyone ready? The fans applaud, and Yano asks Boltin for a few words. Oleg takes the mic and thanks everyone for being here tonight. He feels they can definitely win the World Tag League, so thank you very much! The fans cheer, and join in on “YANO BOL-TIN!” Shrug! The Joker & The Rook are looking good now that they’re on the board, but will they make a run at the top?

 

Here are the NEW B Block standings!

Evil & Ren Narita: 2-0, 4 points
Taichi & Taka Michinoku: 1-1, 2 points
Toru Yano & Boltin Oleg: 1-1, 2 points
Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi: 1-1, 2 points
Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls: 1-1, 2 points
Great-O-Khan & Henare: 1-1, 2 points
The Filip Brothers: 1-1, 2 points
Hiroshi Tanahashi & Jado: 0-2, 0 points

My Thoughts:

A great second round for B Block, and that is already quite the traffic jam at 1-1. Great rebound win for TMDK over The Filip Brothers, and of course The House of Torture cheats to stay spotless at 2-0. Great rebound win for Henare & Khan, and I think there’s even a chance we see Tanahashi and Khan feud down the line, maybe putting on a KOPW Championship match while Khan still has it. That’s a small window, though, with 2024 almost over and then it’ll be reset for 2025. And what a great match and great shocker in the main event. Hilarious comedy elements with Yano being so impatient, and yet his team comes out on top.

The eventual Yano & Oleg VS Tanahashi & Jado match is going to be a really important one, because with just seven rounds, another loss could pop the bubble on The Ace’s chances. At the same time, Yano & Oleg are his friends and fellow NEVER Openweight Six Man Champions, there’s some drama in that they could really play up.

My Score: 8.9/10
