While Mephisto sits up baffled, Roja rolls him up but for you guessed it, a two count. Mephisto crotches Roja on the turnbuckle, then tries to go for a power bomb I think, the camera was awkward, but Roja picks him up and hits a front face buster off the top for the win.

An interesting note: Momo Watanabe of Stardom, who also won the inaugural International Women’s Cup back at WrestleDynasty, is watching from the front row. She is allowed to call whatever women’s championship match she wants, and Mone has plenty of titles, could one of them be on Momo’s radar?

The CEO grins as she holds onto all of her gold, much to the chagrin of Brisbane. But if Harley did this well on her first try, will we see them run this one back soon enough? Meanwhile, Momo is there to sarcastically applaud Mone. Mone pie faces Momo with the TBS Championship, then swaggers away. Did the CEO just make Momo’s choice of championships that much easier?

 

Omega & Ospreay regroup backstage.

The Cleaner says, “As happy as I should be teaming with my good buddy, Will Ospreay, I’m still kinda pissed a little bit. Because for an entire year, I had to listen to people like you, Takeshita, people like Don Callis, talk about how you beat me twice in one week. How the International title is the pinnacle of this title because you’re defending it all over the world. Well listen here, Takeshita. You really wanna prove that you’re the best? You really wanna prove that you’re the rightful champion? I’ve got the time and I’ve got the place: Revolution, Los Angeles. Put that International title on the line and see if you can say you beat Kenny Omega three times.”

Omega says Ospreay has something in store for Kyle now, right? Ospreay says yes, mate! He never could’ve imagined he and Omega would be on the same team, but y’know what he never imagined either? Stepping into his own country, Kyle Fletcher’s own country of Australia, isn’t cheering him! They’re cheering Ospreay! But every time Kyle got an advantage on Ospreay, it wasn’t because of Kyle’s own talent! And as talented as Kyle is, he’s not good enough, because he has to get the Family in on this! Well let Ospreay tell you this, lad: They won’t be by Kyle’s side! They’re gonna be locked away while Ospreay and Kyle are locked in!

That’s right: Ospreay VS Fletcher, Revolution, STEEL CAGE MATCH! Let’s lock in! It’s time to see if Kyle really is that good! Time to see if Kyle really is the Protostar! Because this is Will Ospreay, and he is on another level! The Best Bout Bruvs head out, having thrown down huge challenges! Will the Callis Family put up or shut up?

Will the WWE Grand Slam Champion and the NJPW Grand Slam Champion combine to hit THE Grand Slam in Australia? Or will The Maniac, the Swiss Cyborg, and possibly the rest of the Death Riders, make them regret ever picking this fight?

The fans sing along with Metalingus for Cope and he loves it! White then makes his entrance, no lyrics to sing in his song.

The Glamour buttered up her role model so she could share the spotlight. However, it would seem Mariah was really just waiting for her chance to take everything away from Toni. All In: London was an instant classic, but it would seem Toni was taking her time to craft its sequel. Will the Woman From Hell make it another dramatic tragedy? Or will the AEW Women’s Division once again be Timeless?

Well, speaking of cinema, Luther is dressed like a movie usher, and he hushes the crowd before pointing to the stage. Toni’s old theme plays, and then the film flies off the reel. The lights go down, and back in black ‘n’ white, it’s Timeless Toni! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and it’s time for another box office smash!

The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Mariah and Toni stare down, or perhaps have a scowl off? The two storm up, tie up, then just fire hands! The fans cheer as Toni gets the edge! Toni whips Mariah, Mariah reverses, but Toni goes up and over! Toni comes back to THESZ PRESS! Toni rains down fast hands and the fans cheer! Toni lets Mariah go to a corner, just so she can stomp a mudhole into her! The fans cheer but the ref counts. Toni backs off, the fans sing “F her up Toni, F her up!” Mariah runs up, SLINGBLADE! Mariah then runs to SHOTGUN Toni back down! Mariah stomps Toni now, but stops as the ref counts.

The fans sing for “Toni! Toni Storm~! Toni, Toni Storm~!” Mariah is annoyed by that, and she talks some trash. Mariah fireman’s carries, Toni slips free, GERMAN SUPLEX! Mariah flounders, Toni drags her back, GERMAN SUPLEX! Mariah sputters again but fans want that “One More Time!” Toni obliges, GERMAN SUPLEX! Mariah tumbles, rises, but then flops back over! Toni drags Mariah up, and GERMAN SUPLEXES again! That’s four, Brisbane is now Suplex City! Toni stalks Mariah, the fans chant, “RIP HER T*TS OFF!” GERMAN SUPLEX! That’s a fifth, Toni stalks Mariah to ropes, but is Mariah smiling?

Mariah slowly rises, Toni GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Mariah goes to the apron, Toni storms out after her, and waistlocks out there?! The fans fire up but Mariah holds on for her life! Mariah HOTSHOTS Toni, then YANKS her down! Mariah has a sinister smile now, and she runs at Toni to SHOTGUN her into railing! Toni slumps down, Mariah crawls away, and Luther is displeased while AEW goes picture in picture.

Fans help Toni up, but then she flops right back over. Mariah stands, and then she storms up to Luther. Luther rallies the fans, but Mariah brings Toni around to SMACK her off the apron! Mariah then whips Toni hard into railing! Mariah snatches a fan’s sign that praises Toni, and RIPS it up! Mariah makes fun of the closeup, then taunts the fans. Mariah stalks Toni, but again tells Luther to back off. Mariah puts Toni in the ring, stalks her to a corner, then digs her boot in. The ref counts, Mariah steps off at 4, and Toni sputters along the ropes. Mariah kicks her down, but Luther coaches Toni up.

Mariah scoops Toni, for the SPINOUT SIDEWALK SLAM! Mariah put some extra rotations on that one! Cover, TWO! Toni stays in this, but Mariah taunts the fans. Mariah mockingly applauds Toni, SLAPS her, then bumps her off buckles. Mariah whips Toni corner to corner, runs up and UPPERCUTS! Mariah keeps Toni standing in the corner, to whip the other way! Grand Slam returns to single picture and Mariah UPPERCUTS again! The fans boo, but Mariah whips corner to corner. Toni comes back to LARIAT! And LARIAT! And SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO! Mariah survives but Toni steps on her!

Toni has the legs, ties those up, and the fans cheer for the DEATHLOCK STF COMBO! The fans rally, Mariah endures, but Toni grinds her down with the STF! But then Mariah BITES Toni’s arm!! Toni DRIBBLES Mariah’s face off the mat, then it’s back to the STF!! The fans cheer as Mariah suffers! Mariah reaches out, crawls her way over, and has the ROPEBREAK! Toni lets Mariah go in frustration, but she stalks Mariah to the apron. Toni drags Mariah up, but Mariah pushes free! Toni HEADBUTTS her, and Mariah sits down! Toni runs up, but Mariah dodges! Toni POSTS herself, and then Mariah fireman’s carries! MAYDAY to the floor!!

The fans rally while both women are down on the outside. Toni stirs, as does Mariah, and the ref starts a ring count. Luther rallies Brisbane, but Mariah is on Toni first. Mariah puts Toni in, then climbs. The fans continue to rally behind Toni, but Mariah is up top! MISSILE DROPKICK! Toni ends up in the other corner, and the fans boo as Mariah backs up. Mariah grins as she takes aim, mocks the closeup again, and HIP ATTACKS! Mariah then brings Toni up, but Toni fireman’s carries! She steals MAYDAY!! Cover, TWO!! Mariah survives her own move, but Toni rises again. Toni skips the closeup, HIP ATTACK!!

Toni snarls and keeps moving, HIP ATTACK!! Toni roars and the fans are thunderous, as we get a third HIP ATTACK!! Toni then hits STORM ZERO!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Mariah survives and Toni cannot believe it! The fans rally as hard as they can behind Toni as she drags Mariah back up. Mariah is a ragdoll, but Toni still brings her around. Toni fireman’s carries, but Mariah slips free! SAIDO!! Mariah was playing possum, learning how to act from Toni herself! MAYDAY AGAIN!! But Mariah isn’t done! Fireman’s carry for another MAYDAY!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!? Toni survives and Brisbane is erupting!

Mariah is furious with the ref, but referee Aubrey Edwards pushes her down! Aubrey tells Mariah to respect her authority! Mariah goes back to Toni, brings her back up, and she SLAPS Toni! And SLAPS her! And SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! The fans boo, Mariah tells Toni to just go away! Mariah then hoists Toni up top, but Toni says no to the Stratusphere! Mariah DOUBLE CHOPS Toni for that, then climbs up! Mariah gives Toni a kiss goodbye, but Toni slips under! RUNNING POWERBOMB!! And then STORM ZERO!! Mariah flounders out of the ring! Toni has Mariah’s wrist, and she refuses to let Mariah get away!

Toni drags Mariah back in, but Mariah YANKS Toni into buckles! Mariah runs up to HEADBUTT! Mariah reels Toni in, and steals STORM ZERO!!! Mariah drags Toni up for another fireman’s carry, but Toni fights free! Cradle, TONI WINS!!!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall (NEW AEW Women’s World Champion)

A sudden turnaround, and Toni is triumphant! The hero has prevailed, and is now the historic FOUR-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion! Australia cheers for their leading lady, but this makes Toni and Mariah 1-1. Everyone loves a good trilogy, when and where will we get this story’s final act?

PLAY BY PLAY

It’s the Vengeance Day Countdown Show!

Join Megan Morant and Sam Roberts in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action set in the Nation’s Capital!

 

Nathan Frazer and Axiom talk backstage.

It’s been a hell of a ride. Two years ago, they were literally facing each other, no aspirations for tag titles. But then the Dusty Cup came up, and the rest is history. But how do they fare against the main roster? Motor City Machine Guns, Street Profits, DIY. But the more they run, the farther and higher Frazer can see this going. Axiom says they could become some of the best! Edge & Christian, The Usos, The Hardy Boys! But they can’t overlook Briggs & Inamura. Big, strong, world class athletes. But Fraxiom is at their best when they’re backed against the wall. They always overcome. Stand & Deliver 2024 to here and now, completely different animals.

If they keep going like this, they will be undeniably the best tag team in the world! And who knows? Maybe they could be the greatest team of all time! Fraxiom fist bump, could this be the moment they solidify their legacies forever? Or does the team that never slows down finally hit a brick wall?

 

Exclusive interview with Je’Von Evans.

Vic Joseph appreciates Je’Von taking this time, but he asks how Je’Von is. Je’Von says he’s finally been able to eat solid foods, so he’ll be ready for the match. Then what has it taken to get to this spot? Je’Von says it all kinda takes you to a place where you learn your limits. Throughout this break, Je’Von found his. And Ethan finds out how far he’ll go. Vic sees there’s still some swelling, and Ethan is a man who has gone so far as to break bones. Is Je’Von scared to get back in the ring? Je’Von says he’d be lying if he acted like he wasn’t. Two months, Je’Von has been worried about being able to eat, smell, let alone wrestle,

Je’Von went through some dark spots, but then he saw how Ethan was enjoying what he was doing to other people. That motivated Je’Von to come back. Then how confident is he in his trademark smile coming back. Je’Von isn’t sure he can smile. He took that for granted, he isn’t sure where he is with that. But he’ll go through Hell on Vengeance Day if he has to. Then Vic brings up the liability waiver. WWE will not be responsible for what happens to Je’Von in this match. Has Je’Von honestly asked himself, “Is this worth risking it all?” Je’Von has been thinking about that a lot. Ethan said he took Je’Von’s smile to get his back.

And at Vengeance Day, Je’Von says yes, it is worth taking this risk. He is going up against someone no one likes, who put Je’Von on the shelf, who will do anything to get what he wants. Je’Von’s jaw was busted, and he’s expected to stay back as the new kid? No! Ethan will see a side of Je’Von no one has seen before. Je’Von isn’t here to smile, he’s here to whoop Ethan’s ass. Vic wishes Je’Von luck and hopes he’ll be safe. Will the pain and the fear not be enough to keep the Young OG down?

 

Stephanie Vaquer speaks.

“I have survived things that should have broke me. Things that forced me to live in Hell for a long time. But that Hell became my home. Now, I am one with the fire. And I burn through everything in my path. Fallon, you crossed the wrong one. I will become NXT Women’s North American Champion and make history. In Hell, I will show you why I am La Primera.” This GOAT in the making has put the Cowgirl on notice, will Vaquer have her vengeance?

 

Backstage interview with A-Town Down Under.

Sarah Schreiber thanks Grayson Waller & Austin Theory for taking this time. They have some history in NXT, and then found success on SmackDown and Raw. What’re the highlights of their NXT careers? Waller says NXT was very important. He was a no name indie wrestler from Australia. He wasn’t “the guy” but he made a name, went viral, had main roster talent begging to face him, and then Waller wins the inaugural Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge. Oh, also, he beat Johnny Gargano! Best night of his life! Theory remembers he was in The Way with Gargano. Yeah, but that was in the past, long gone.

Theory says sure, but when he was in NXT, he was in there with a lot of sharks. He did his best to swim, but went to main roster quickly to become United States Champion. Waller sarcastically adds that Theory beat Cena, in case no one’s said that before. Sarah says they also had success as a team, winning the WWE Tag Team Championships at last year’s WrestleMania. But then, why would they come back to challenge for THE NXT Championship? Theory says “Oba Rated” needed a star presence. He needs two superstars to show him that way. The Grayson Waller Rub, if you would. Ava Raine asked ATDU to be here, and Oba has no idea what’s waiting on the main roster.

There are sharks up there, they smell blood in the water. ATDU came down here to see what Oba’s about, and now he’s gonna lose that title cuz he’s too arrogant. A shame. Yes, they did both drop Oba together, A-Town Down to the Down Under Stunner. But then they both grabbed the belt. Waller sees what this is. They’re all so desperate to break this up! Why? Because they’re the best team? Cuz they’re so entertaining? Cuz no one can touch them in the ring or on the mic? They ain’t playing that game. There WILL be a new champion, no matter what. But it isn’t a Handicap Match, it’s a Triple Threat. If it was up to them, who’d walk out of there as champion?

Waller and Theory each say “Me,” but then they say “Us.” Waller wishes they had Vic, he’s much better at this. But all that attitude aside, will either Waller or Theory win that title? Or are they the ones too arrogant about their chances?

 

There’s no love lost here tonight.

Unforgettable matches, historic debuts, Vengeance Day has become the showcase of WWE’s future. It is a proving ground for NXT’s best, and a stage upon which vengeance leads to superstardom. The champions have earned their place at the top, but as familiar faces return and fresh challengers emerge, the balance of power may shift once again. Tonight, live from Washington, DC, we write the next chapter! For this is Vengeance Day!

 

NXT Women’s North American Championship: Fallon Henley w/ The Fatal Influence VS Stephanie Vaquer!

The Cowgirl’s toxic team helped her take this title from Kelani Jordan, and then helped her keep it from Shotzi Blackheart, but Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx were made to look like fools just days ago.

Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo speaks.

He says they should’ve seen this coming. The Don retains the title, but then Spears and his squad get the jump on them!? And that… Stacks won’t say what’s in his head because he promises his mom he’d cuss less this year. But IZZI EFFIN’ DAME…! Tony’s back is bad, he hasn’t talked to them yet, but Stacks vows Spears pays for his sins. The Underboss is doing this on his own. If Spears wants Family VS Family, then that’s fine by Stacks. This Tuesday, he takes the head off that snake! The D’Angelo Family is the ONLY Family in NXT! And payback ain’t gonna be pretty.

 

Strap Match: Eddy Thorpe VS Trick Williams!

The Alpha Wolf feels insulted from being overlooked and pushed aside, but he’s the one that pushed things too far. Eddy vows to leave his mark on NXT one way or another, but will he really be the one to Whoop Dat Trick? Or will Trick make sure Eddy’s the one with the battle scars to look back on?

The introductions are made, and the ref has the strap, but Eddy attacks first! Trick fights back, the fans fire up, and Trick ROCKS Eddy. Trick whips, Eddy grabs the ropes, but Trick LARIATS him up and out! Trick goes out to CHOP Eddy, then CHOPS him again! Trick stalks Eddy towards commentary, pushes him to the railing, and he CHOPS again! Eddy sputters, Trick puts him in the ring, and then Trick dodges a lariat to BACKDROP Eddy! The fans fire up as Trick grabs his end of the strap and, well, straps in. Trick tells Eddy to take his end already. Eddy hesitates, but Trick stomps him for it! The fans fire up and Trick makes Eddy strap in!

The bell rings and this is finally on record! Trick drags Eddy up to LARIAT him back down! Trick uses the strap to stand Eddy up again, for another LARIAT! Trick covers, TWO! Trick drags Eddy up again, but Eddy bails out! The fans rally behind Trick as he goes out the opposite side. Trick YANKS Eddy into the POST!

But Eddy YANKS on the strap to bring Trick down! Both men are on the mat and the fans boo Eddy. Trick takes a swing, Eddy dodges, and he uses the strap to trip Trick! Eddy wraps Trick’s legs up with the strap, then he stomps a mudhole into Trick! Cover, TWO! Eddy kicks Trick around, then soaks up the heat. Eddy goes up the corner, but Trick YANKS him down now!

Backstage interview with Ava Raine.

Sarah is now with the NXT General Manager and brings up the shocking attacks we’ve seen perpetrated tonight. What is her reaction? Ava is at a loss for words. Dion’s group are certainly trying to make an impact, but she will address them accordingly this Tuesday. Sarah also brings up NXT going to Cincinnati for February 25th, and Ava says there are a lot of people wanting to be part of that show. Lexis King has texted her 23 times. Did you know that it was his hometown? But yeah, he made sure she knew. And beyond NXT in Cincy, there will also be the final NXT special edition episode before Stand & Deliver, as Roadblock returns.

Ava says that will be live from The Theater in Madison Square Garden, a massive night! Wait, Arianna Grace returns? She is so happy to see Ava, hugs it out, and says she’s been gone for so long. She wants to thank Ava for letting her be the NXT liaison to TNA. And trust her when she says, it has been amazing. Ava is so glad- Wait, Arianna says there is someone Ava has to meet. Tada! It’s Arianna’s father, Santino Marella! WWE superstar turned TNA Director of Authority, Santino is back and is honored to meet Ava. But wait, they met before when she was little. She’s all grown up, and in a position of authority. Just like Santino!

Ava says yes, very nice to see them. But Arianna mentioned Santino had ideas, as does Ava, so let’s discuss this. Santino says indeed! The bosses head off, what could be brewing for NXTNA in the near future?

Winner: Giulia, by pinfall (still NXT Women’s Champion)

A fast ‘n’ furious finish in this Fatal 4 Way, but the title stays with Giulia! The Beautiful Madness reigns, but here comes Vaquer! La Primera also reigns, and she did tell her amiga that this night would only be the beginning. They fist bump and hold up their gold together! WAIT! The sirens are going, and that’s because JORDYNNE GRACE is here! The Juggernaut returns to NXT, and she steps to the ring to look at both champions. The fans are losing their minds as the best women’s division in the world has only gotten greater! What more is in store for this next chapter of NXT?


My Thoughts:

An awesome night for NXT, even with this event now “WWE Vengeance Day.” I am sure I said this before, but it feels like the branding changing from “NXT [event]” to “WWE [event]” is a roundabout way for them to think of NXT as the third brand on par with Raw and SmackDown. After all, WWE Evolve is coming, acting as the developmental show feeding NXT, so NXT can focus on story and bringing in free agents from other companies, more akin to the latter days of “Black ‘n’ Gold” NXT. For example, Ricky Starks, even though even he isn’t giving his name yet. I personally hope he stays “Ricky Starks” but we’ll know on Tuesday.

Another example is Jordynne Grace showing up as a big surprise to end the night. The night being bookended by the women’s division and punctuated by Grace returning was a great move, and I dare say the right move. Vaquer VS Fallon was very good, and while we of course had Kelani, Karmen and Jaida watching, and while we of course got Fatal Influence getting involved, Vaquer winning was again the right move. And then just an incredible Fatal 4 Way for the main event, with the result as I figured. Bayley and Roxie still have beef to settle, and there’s even Roxie VS Cora to be done, one of those combinations being a Stand & Deliver match.

That is to say, Roadblock will be big for NXT, with perhaps a card akin to this one. Next Tuesday is Karmen VS Kelani VS Jaida, winner challenging Vaquer, and that can be done at Roadblock. Giulia VS Grace can also be done at Roadblock, because there is just something telling me Giulia VS Vaquer, Winner Takes All, is in NXT’s back pocket. The only time we got a Champion VS Champion like that was Adam Cole VS Keith Lee, so now it’s about time for the women to have their own showdown. And honestly, either choice between Vaquer and Giulia is a great choice for NXT’s first Women’s Double Champion.

Great grudge matches tonight, and maybe only a little surprising that the Heels won both. In terms of Ethan VS Je’Von, Je’Von got to bring out his aggression and looked great, even though he ends up losing. Maybe this is how we get to an Unsanctioned Match for Je’Von, because if his jaw is kayfabe busted up again, he can’t get a real match with Ethan. Then with Eddy VS Trick, it was only a little surprising that Eddy won. Trick is more or less headed to main roster, and Eddy needed this because he’s been slapped around and made a fool of. They could probably still bring this story to Stand & Deliver, unless they want to plug Trick right into a midcard title story for WrestleMania.

Great stuff seeing Arianna Grace back and her bringing Santino Marella with her. I really hope this means NXTNA gives us a proper crossover event, like Worlds Collide or something similar. There are many possibilities with this new working relationship, the fans will definitely eat it up. What fans might not eat up is Dion Lennox leading a would-be Shield sequel. It was intriguing for them to hype a Vengeance Day debut, but it’s a touch confusing for them to attack twice in one night. The tag title match was awesome, and after Fraxiom were talking themselves up in the countdown show, I thought that was foreshadowing a loss. Fraxiom finds another way to win, and then they and Briggs & Inamura get attacked, naturally implying a tag title story.

But then because there’s four guys in this faction, it also made sense they’d go after THE NXT Champion. That Triple Threat was also awesome stuff, but of course Oba won out. Dion and his guys (I’ve found confirmation on Saquon Shugars and Osiris Griffin but not on the fourth man) got to make an impact, sure, but this doesn’t even work as well as Shield or Nexus did because at least there was somewhere WWE fans knew all the members for, aka they were all from NXT. Dion is the only guy who was on NXT TV before this, the others are just now making their NXT debut, so naturally DC had to ask, “Who Are You?” Yes, Tuesday will give us those answers, but I would’ve thought WWE had learned how to take a step back and see how this could flop, because it kinda did.

My Score: 9.2/10
